random acts of kindness

who would have thought that i would live to share my random acts of kindness story. Basically, i don't live to help others and i don't have a kind heart so never in my wildess imagination did i think that i will have my own story. But, hey, sometimes the winks at you and everything goes crazy. Anyway, my story is not that grand or heroic in fact, it is, if anything, too common and boring. I just want to jot it down so one day when i look back ill remember that day.

It was 730pm and the school library was about to close. Most of the staffs have left and so did the students. We were like maybe 10 in the floor. i walked to a shelf looking for a certain book and found it immediately. As i walk towards the counter, i saw a cellphone laying on a table. i looked around and the only people who was there were busy with their own stuffs. For a split second i thought the owner might come back to get it and so i just left it there (and yeah, it'll be nice if i took it :P damn!) when i reached the counter, i decided to tell the staff about the lost cellphone anyway. I trust that they will pass it to the lost and found office. i hope the owner will reclaim it.

after that, i took the lrt and saw this lady on the platform dropped her card. i was shy to approach her so instead i told the lady guard but since i was pointing to the floor, the lady saw the card herself.

Of Iron Man and other superheroes

So what do spiderman, superman, batman, hulk, and Iron Man have in common? They are all made into real life heroes on the big screen. Sorry, i forgot the others but im pretty sure there are more and more yet to come. It seems to be the latest trend in cinema. From what i heard, G.I. Joe is slated to be shown on 2009. And there's talks about doing a wonder woman film :)

Now i wonder if making these cartoon characters into big screen movie is a wise decision after all? If we are talking in financial terms perhaps yes is the answer. It's a no brainer as everytime there is a superhero movie, cinema lines increase a hundred fold. But, in terms of memory value or artistic value is it really that good?? Sometimes doing a movie creates more damage to the superhero image.

Am i making sense at all? You might think im talking gibberish here... ok, yes, maybe i am. i guess all i wanted to say was, personally (just my humble opinion) the Iron Man Movie is not that great! :P sorry, for those who feels otherwise. maybe i am just not a huge fan of iron man.

im feeling a bit sad and guilty lately...

im in a semi trance state wherein i like to reflect and think but there they are all in circles... i read a nice poem that help lifted up my mood somehow. It's by Donna Fargo

Hope is Just Around the Corner

If fear is faith turned upside down

and hate is love wrong side out

If sad is happy in reverse

and a blessing is the opposite of a curse…

If apathy was once care that has died

and success is failure’s other side

If dark is the bottom side of light

and day is the morning side of night…

Maybe we should not despair

when the news seems always bad

If hope is just around the corner

on the other side of sad

To find the answers that we need

maybe struggle is the place to start

To solve the great mysteries of life

it seems we should consult the heart.
