What Is Love?

What is Love? I guess the definition of love differs from one to another. To me, Love is something simple. It's not about how good a person is, but rather whether you can still love the person without his/her goodness.

Stop and think. Do you have someone you love or like?

Stop and think again. What do you like about the person?

Stop and think again.....

If you like his/her smile, will you still love him/her when he/she lost the ability to smile?

If you like his/her wits or smartness, will you still love him/her when he/she becomes senile?

If you like his/her richness, will you still love him/her when he/she is a bankrupt?

If you like his/her looks, will you still love him/her when he/she got disfigured?

If you like his/her voice or singing, will you still love him/her when he/she lost the ability to speak or sing?

If one day he/she got into an accident, becomes a vegetable or crippled or disfigured or for some reason lost certain abilities. Will you stand by him/her, take care of him/her for life?

所謂,“家贫知孝子,国乱识忠臣”。

The list is non-exhaustive.

Fill in the blanks yourself.

Love is not love until you know the answer to the above.

Ironically, people tend to disregard what they have and cherish what they dont have.

Dont be that person.

What is love?

Think again.

Movie Review
A movie about a Eunuch trying to find a way to grow his manhood back. Lol. The fighting scenes were quite well done though and there's where the 3 out of the 3.5 marks went to.

RunTime: 1hr 35mins
Rating: NC 16

Movie Synopsis
Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is not ready to die. But when he wakes up 6 feet underground with no idea of who put him there or why, the life for the truck driver and family man instantly becomes a hellish struggle for survival. Buried with only a cell phone and a lighter, his contact with the outside world and ability to piece together clues that could help him discover his location are maddeningly limited. Poor reception, a rapidly draining battery, and a dwindling oxygen supply become his worst enemies in a tightly confined race against time- fighting panic, despair and delirium, Paul has only 90 minutes to be rescued before his worst nightmare comes true.

Movie Review

One man, one coffin, one hour thirty five minutes. 'Nuff Said.

Not my type of movie.
