See you again


Much respect and salute to the cast of Furious 7 for completing this amazing journey after losing beloved member, Paul Walker.

I really enjoyed the movie and this song has been stuck in my head ever since because it just speaks so much about the friendship and bond the cast shared. And how much it must have pained them to have to continue filming with the void Paul Walker left behind.

Thankfully, his brothers stepped up to help finish this wonderful movie.

The ending was simply beautiful - I loved the fitting farewell they gave to Brian O'Connor, indicating he finally settled for domesticated life with little Jack and his wife. I loved it.

 I really love the brotherhood. In fact, I absolutely adore it. It's one of the things that drew me to the movie - the deeply rooted family and friendship.

Just yesterday, the cousin and I were talking about how we'd love to have a friendship like that because the brotherhood fostered is unbelievably real.

I was so lost for words at the end of the movie because I was so touched. It just felt so surreal that Paul Walker is no longer around so I did a little digging around and saw people posting pictures of one of the quotes Brian O'Connor said: "If one day the speed kills me, don't cry. Because I was smiling."

I must have bawled many, many times re-watching the ending and hearing Dominic Toretto's emotional, deep tone confess: "I used to say I live my life a quarter mile a time, and I think that's why we were friends, because you did too. No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter mile away or halfway across the world, you will always be with me... And you will always be my brother."

So, so proud of how well the movie is doing because, like Ludacris said, this must be the Paul Walker effect.

Cue those tears again.

I remember

It's Sunday night all over again. I can hear slight drizzle against the window panes and I'm watching the lights on the other building go out. People must be heading to bed and I wonder: Do they dread waking up to Monday? Do they hate Monday? Do their bodies feel unusually heavy on Monday mornings? Do they drag their feet into office? It was a surprisingly tough day today. But it reminded me of the conversations I had with Ains. " You're really too nice. That's why people always bully you, " she said. I knew this for a long time but I was thinking of the best way to construe my personality without sounding like a pushover because I'm not. I simply developed a sizable threshold for bullshit over the years. I suppose it is my way of maintaining zen and a passive way to show I'm backing down because I believe there's no reason putting up a fight against anyone who has decided not to give me a real chance even before the argument began. To some, when I...

You learn to live with your crazy

I'm crazy, just slightly  crazy. I'm crazy but maybe I'm not crazy after all? I say the most bizarre things. I walk around with messy hair. I dress down on Mondays and dress up on Fridays. I talk shit with and to my friends. I stuff my face into Shelty’s belly every night. I have a weird obsession with stickers and clouds.  I love walking around bare-footed. I love wearing my pyjamas. I love long walks, especially the ones that could last for hours. I love rolling in bed on Saturday nights while every one else is out.  I’m strange like that. Which makes me feel like a misfit in this society that’s all about fitting in. I don’t depend on technology even though I use an iPhone 6: I keep a handwritten diary, I write letters, I record my daily expenditure, I take notes with a pen and paper, I print my readings if possible, I use highlighters and liquid paper, and the list could go on. Yet I depend on technology at the same time: I scroll through Instagram every mo...

2021

Hello, 2022. Traditionally, this post would have been published on the last day of the year (as a reflection of some sorts) or the first day of the new year (to set out some new goals). But I had spent the last 2 days surrounded by good people and would not have it any other day. But here we are – second day into the new year and back to work when Monday comes around again. Sometimes, it feels like a lot has changed yet nothing has really changed at all.  All things considered, 2021 was not the best year but it was a good year. I felt like I had truly stepped into the world of adulting. This came in the form of looking after my family, including doggo, navigating the corporate world, and getting my act together for the most part. Summing up 2021:  Full-time adult, part-time child There is so much subliminal messaging out there that tells us we have to be at a certain point in our life by the time we reach a certain age. And growing up in a society constantly reminded me I...
