Irish Wish

Watched “Irish Wish” earlier, had a little time off and much grateful for it cause mama’s finally able to unwind.


So about the movie, pretty peculiar yet a very interesting one. I really like how unique the story plot is.


This movie is about “Maggie” who wish to the world for a marriage with her dream man, and granted; so she then led her dream life but apparently it’s not what she needs.


What she needs is meeting the man -the photographer, then embark on life’s journey together.


Maggie’s dream man was about to marry her best friend, but she wished otherwise so the fated couple split up for her to fill the role (note that she already met the photographer by this time)


Fast forward, Maggie is in the middle of preparing for her wedding when somehow, magically, the photographer became her wedding photographer. So they meet again.


Then they clicked and everything went to its right course, once again. The fated couple found their way back; Maggie found her courage to speak, stand for her rights, and be honest with her feelings. Then everything went well from then on.


My main take away for this movie is the world will always give you what you need, instead of what you want. A little detour here and there are expected so we can just choose to enjoy the ride. 


Because who knows what life has in store for us 🌿

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart...

The Family Who Read

         I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books.           So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...

We’re Performing, Still

Being remembered is something; something straight out of nothing. You don’t have to do, You don’t need to achieve, You only just have to be. To be you, doing or not doing. To be you, achieve or not achieving, To be you, present; not presenting. When performing gets tiring, that’s  the sign of you drowning. And then you cried; that’s the sign of you breaking. So tell me, tell me who are you when you’re not performing? Are you sad, are you happy, Do you angst, do you not angst? Will you catch you, when you fall?
