Changes....Change

"When we embrace what lies within, our
potential has no limits.
The future is filled with promise, the
present rife with expectations.
But when we deny our instincts and
struggle with our deepest urges, uncertainty begins.
Where does this path leads? When will
the changes end?
Is this transformation a gift or a curse?
And for those who fear what lies ahead,
the most important question of all: can we ever really change what we are? "
Opening excerpts from the
drama Heroes season 1, Chpt 13 The Fix

I was watching Heroes and heard this opening narrated by Mohinder, a doctor in the show. I find some of these narrations rather meaningful. Like the one above about changes. Can we change who we are in order to achieve what we want?

In life, we often go through changes and situations which we couldn't accept because we cherished it so much that we refuse it let it go. Sometimes I wonder why life is so unpredictable but I guess that's what makes it meaningful? We go through ups and downs, happy and sad times to learn about yourself and your surroundings, to understand why you are in this world and how you can make a difference to this world. I wish things did not change that much for me. I have to partly blame myself for my actions but every action requires a reaction. I can't make everything work on my own. Everyone plays a part. So the changes that I went through for the past year can only be a learning experience for me. It is painful but like what they say, time will heal all wounds. I think I will follow my instincts and see where it leads me to....I just wish things to be peaceful and simple for me this year.

Watched Michale Clayton yesterday. A lot of dialogue so you have to listen closely to follow the plot. Overall its an ok movie. George Clooney is rather mesmerising to watch. He captures your attention whenever he speaks. There was a phrase that caught my attention in the movie. One of the characters said "People are so f**king incomprehensible". So true.....human nature is so difficult to understand. That's why we have conflicts, isn't it? And most of the times, people choose to run away than to face the conflict and resolve it. Becasue they can't accept the truth. I also watched American Gangster as well. This one is good especially you have Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in it. I'm too free during weekends....so have been watching movies...haha

I'm down to my last few hundred dollars.....so damn broke. Waiting for the end of the month to come soon. This means that I can't buy a lot of things for CNY. Sigh.....I just take each day as it comes....

Its a new week tomorrow.....what's new?
