Related in Love



I have had some serious disagreements with my mother. They were intense enough that it took a while for each of them to be solved. However, our relationship is really good, one of the best relationships I can possibly have.
When I think about it, if one of those arguments occurred between a boyfriend and a girlfriend, it’d likely lead to breaking up. Any beautiful love may be killed off that easily. This is nothing special, things like that happen everyday everywhere. But then, why it is so different comparing with the relationship of mother and son?

The difference is that mother and son are related.
That’s only it! Because the two are families, they cannot really “run” anywhere but stuck with each other forever. This gives them the chance to understand and forgive one another. And later on, the relationship will be appreciated again.
How nice it would be if lovers’ relationship can be like that. People will be able to overcome any misunderstanding and be together forever. Then what we need to do is to consider ourselves related! This relation may be more meaningful than even marriage. Married couples can get divorced and that’s it. Being related means believing that lovers are ought to be together forever no matter what. And that’s not unreasonable at all. Just like how God put a mother and a child together, the relationship, the love He puts between lovers are not any less valuable. True love brings people together, make them need each other and care for each other, and for goodness’ sake, it is significant too!
So let whoever in love be related. It’s worth it, isn’t it?
Some footnote: I’m talking about true love. Surely those such as abusive love or ignorant love don’t need to be considered here.

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

It's Hard to Share!

I like to share. It’s not like donating stuffs (it’s good too) but more like… introducing to other people what I find interesting. So actually this post’s title should be: “ It’s Hard to… Introduce ”, but it wouldn’t sound as good. So there you go. Songs, books, movies, games… Whenever I find one interesting I’d love to show it to another person – like a “maven”*, if you know the term, even though I am not as specialized and valuable. It’s pretty much become a hobby of mine. “ Hey, you want to hang out? Come to my place and I’ll show you this awesome video clip I found last week!” And one day I finally realized the ugly truth, and I am sharing it with you right now. Well, the title exposes it: sharing interesting things is hard. It’s very weird, really, because when I share with someone the stuff I found, it’s not as interesting as before ! Almost always, when I play a movie or the song while introducing about it super-enthusiastically, I will feel that the movie or the ...

Origami Extreme - Part 08!!!

The other day, I came to watch some of my friends performing in the play called The Birds, and it was really fun! So I decided to make another Origami collection; this time it’s about birds – small birds which (supposedly) are all nice and peaceful. Anyway, I love things that fly. Talking about Origami, I now find myself avoiding overly-complicated models each of which would take days to complete. Instead, I’d go for fairly simple ones which are fast to make and still look really nice. That’s why I like more and more the models of John Montroll: really efficient.   PART 08: THE LITTLE BIRD   CURLEW by Tom Defoirdt – I had no idea that a curlew was. I had fun time folding it nonetheless. EXTINCT BIRD by Nicolas Terry – Mr. Terry always creates unique models. This “bird” was the most challenging for me in this collection. GORRION SPARROW by Roman Diaz – What?! There are different types of sparrows? I never knew! HORNED OWL by Hideo Komatsu – The thin...
