Indulge in Cynful Pleasure

this video is from some other person's blog. but its super sweet! hahaha. okok

i watched marley and me yesterday. and zomg even though the reviews for it sucked, i personally kinda liked the show. i know the focus should be on the dog, but by focusing more on the dude's(owen wilson) life, with marley in it, makes it feel so much more as if marley was always part of his life. and i feel that effect comes out when marley dies at the end, like we should always treasure people, or in the case marley, around us. we take them for granted, not knowing how big a part they play in our lives, and we only realise it when its gone. awesome touchin movie. i would have cried if not for phyll's sniffles that made me laugh instead. HAHA

but watchin it also made me think, the fear of possessing something due to the fear of losing it. i was thinking, oh my i wouldnt wanna have a dog that would mean so much to me cause i would be totally heartbroken. but isnt that invaluable priceless experience supposed to be worth the hurt and pain that will come eventually. sucky aint it. no matter how good the times you have, there must be an end. thats what the show reminded me of reality. sighhh.

oh and today, victoria called wong shire min narrowminded, her argument was : if you just say no to an answer, you are being narrowminded cause you dont accept the possibilities of other answers. i mean, its true, but thinkin about it made me see something interesting. isnt callin everyone who disagrees with your view narrowminded true narrowmindedness? like, you are not accepting the possibilty that "hey, you could be wrong" isnt it? interesting aye? cause the argument would just continue.

i know this may sound weird, but over these 2 years i've seen so much change in people around me. the people i thought were cold and daoish initially, end up to be the funniest people i've ever known. and i've seen people turn the other way too. friendly people turned hypocritical, and some even hurtful in their speech. people that seemed quiet and obedient turn out to be quite funny in their own way as well. but there are those who dont seem to have changed, a bad way to say it is that they havent grown up. a good way to say it is they stuck to their character. i know i'm in no position to judge others, but its just an observation i've made ( i have alot of time to observe while stoning since i'm really low on energy to make noise nowadays ). interesting to see how much they grow as the year progresses.

there's always multiple perspectives on an issue. everyone is entitled to their own views, but this doesnt mean your own view, no matter how much you believe in it, is the right one. we need to start accepting criticism to grow. i feel i have. i've talked less to the people i'm not supposed to, talked less when i'm not supposed to, and talked more to others who i've always closed myself to. cliche as it seems, 2009 really seems to be a year of change. For better or for worse is all up to us.

Ad i really wanna watch "He's just no that into you"
