Positive Things

Title: Positive Things

A whole lot of positive things have been happening for me..

1) Academic- I managed to push from 3rd class to 2nd class lower honours. My case study achieved a A- which I felt really happy because I put in lots of effort for it..

2) Vesak- thank you dinner was wonderful. Heartwarming to see all the volunteers, my guides and my teacher June.

3) Waterfall trek- simple fabulous.. had the chance to meditate in open with the sound of water gushing. saw shooting stars also and made lots of new frens and toned up my muscles..
4) Let go- finally let go.. great feeling..

Overall, it is really wonderful to feel positive once again..

Just Breathe

Title: Just Breathe

Every moment we are breathing, in .. out.. in.. out.. but how many times are we aware of the sensation?

Only during meditation? or is it during times of anger?

By just focusing on the breath, one can slowly feel the mind settling down, thoughts gathering together..

Slowly, there is resistance, then denial, then it turns to acceptance and finally letting go..

It's amazingly simple yet it is difficult to do it when you are caught in the fix..

I intend to let go.. The T-shirt incident was a blessing in disguise which woke me up.. There is no way I will let myself be hurt once more..

No more a silly gal.. no more a puppet that you instruct to do things..

Everything will be normal once more..

Gratitude..

Title: What does Gratitude mean to you?

In this life, there are lots of things that I have to express my gratitude to..

My parents: for breathing life into me and bringing me up..

My sister: for keeping me entertained.. LOL

My best buddies: Charles and Delphine for being there when I needed someone

Buddhism: for giving me opportunities to learn and grow to become who I am..

Others: allowing me to love and appreciate what is love..

Thanks to everyone and everything that have made me who I am today..

HOSTEL

Title: HOSTEL

Usually I do not comment upon movies but this movie, HOSTEL is exceptional..It is one that I must speak my mind on it..

1) It is the most gory, gruesome, bloody movie I ever seen.. The 2 other guy friends also had the same sentiments.. Do not mistake it with scary.. It is not thrilling nor scary but gory..

2) This is the first movie that I seen so many naked gals and sexual scenes.. All kinds and all sorts..this should be quite attractive for guys..

3) This is show that has so many F***King words in it.. Almost every sentence that is blurted out by the male leads has that..

4) This is the first movie that I actually closed my eyes more than opened my eyes to watch it. It is also the first time that I covered my head and attempt to hide behind a friend..

5) This is the first time that I really feel like puking after watching a few scenes..

If you think you can survive all the above after I have mentioned it, watch at your own risk..
A word of caution: You may want to avoid having a full stomach when watching the show..

However, there are learning points from this movie.. It expresses the hidden desire of humans wanting to kill humans yet leading a scot free life.. The ways of killing are just torturous and sadistic..

Precisely it uses humans as the objects, it has left a lasting impact. What if animals have been used? Would we still see it as inhumane?

Think about it, in reality, THIS is what animals go through.. They are being butchered by us, HUMANS.. At times, we even torture them at our own pleasure.. Just because they cannot plead do not make their suffering less painful..

If you are not a vegetarian, go and watch this movie.. It may just change your mind.. Even if you do not become a vegetarian, you may feel more for the animals too..
