Like Crazy

Dear ML

If we were in the same city, we will have to watch "Like Crazy" together! I cannot even find the official website of the film but you can check out the review on NY Times.

Film is on screen now. I haven't watched it, will write more if I watch it. But it does remind me of Blue Valentine, the story of a married couple with their passion fades away (or corroded) by passage of time and reality. Go Netflix it if possible it is a good one.

As for Tomorrow, if nothing major happen, M and I should be doing some ring shopping :)

A lot

Just saw below in a signature of a forum:

"There is the verb to allot.
There is the noun, a lot.
There is no word, alot.

English lesson is now over."

Tom's Blog

Dear ML,

I have a confession to make. In doing "research" of the blog, I came across "wordpress", almost created the blog there but switched to blogger here as I don't wanna have ads. At Wordpress I came across a blogger called Tom (btw he is HOT!) and guess what his blog is about?

Productivity, Relationship, Spirituality and Tech

OMG. Weird combo but confession #1 to make: I was almost instantly addicted to his blog. His wife blog (Jess) is also  fantastic to read.

Here is an interesting piece by Tom that I'd like to share with you (I am sure Tom won't mind!)

6 Things to Stop Caring About Today

I read people's comments as well, many said they like #1 which is "stop caring about everyone's opinion of you".

Last night (actually this morning at 2 am) M had a word on me about my possible business venture ideas which has been delayed and delayed... He asked (gently) if I need any help / progress etc., but in my ears those words became "oh he is kicking my butt!!!"(confession #2)

I do care about him, and his comments. So I made a promise at that time, I need to get something started. Like what Tom wrote in the first sentence of his blog post "Everyday is an opportunity to start again".

It makes me realizes one thing. A lot of times I am too afraid to fail and ended up not doing anything. But seriously what exactly is stopping me - I can blame the designer, blame the manufacturer, blame the supplier, or is it more on the fear of losing money? Time?

Or " losing face" (ie the fear of how others see on me if I fail?)

O M G. I thought I don't give a damn on everyone's opinion (except a few on earth) but seems not the case.

M said "life is precious, time is short" (actually reverse of my version). I am going to start something. Even if it fails, it will be a good learning experience. A good exploratory exercise of myself.


I hope your exams today went well!

PS - thanks Tom for your inspiring post :)

Today

Dear ML,

WE MADE IT - the first thing I did after I had my birthday. I am SO happy :) 

I spent too much time on configuration, plus a nice dinner with M at Chaya Venice (which btw, very nice, noisy and perfect for guys spotting.... er..... I mean for you only ;-))

Time for sleep (it is already 1:10am), I don't want him to wait for me. More later.
