The onset of new responsibilities. Hey, I can build a case why I can be cynical, but that'd be a waste of time. There are people who don't get the same opportunities that I get to have. And that's why it's useless to complain.

The blur that is 2046. The ending is finite, but still open for interpretation. “Everyone who goes to 2046 wants to recapture lost memories, Because in 2046 nothing ever changes. But no one knows if that’s true because no one ever comes back.” One could either come back because they've captured lost memories  or simply didn't want to capture lost memories anymore. It could be that no one ever recaptures lost memories. The last scenes goes. Remnants from the previous two films. He admits to Bai Ling he’ll never land, like the legless bird on Days of Being Wild. He takes a cab leaning alone, contrasting to In the Mood for Love, when he was with Su Li Zhen, and they share the cab together. That was the memory. That was his one true love and now he’s a legless bird. Will you always become legless bird when you've lost your one true love? Charting the stories in 2046. There’s the science fiction arc with the narrator and...

These are just some of my beliefs that I've learned and have stuck with. And like any intangible thing, anything is open for agreement and disagreement. Some beliefs I had growing up, didn't stand the test of time, like some here may not be relevant in next years to come. I think it's important to know that we as a whole are guided by our ideals. But if it hurts other people, it needs to be reconsidered. 1.        The soul mate, it doesn't exist. At least the concept of it, Shouldn't. What is a soul mate really? The idea is that there is one special person for you in the world. Your soul’s irrevocable bond with another soul. Only one. While there is nothing wrong with that and I believe in monogamy. The soul mate is a mystical thinking trap. It creates this search for a perfect person. 2.        Go to your failure. We've been taught and...

Rule#1 pretend you don't like her Rule#2 forget rule#1 Rule#3 darn it men, cant help you. you're on your own Rule#4 seriously though, just ask her out Rule#5 Go! Now.

Growing up's good. Every day you get an opportunity to learn something new. To participate. To contribute. Sure, some days are better off left alone, or sped up. But don't let it bother you. Be resilient.

This year's turning out not too shabby at all. I guess I'm managing elation relatively well.  Or it just hasn't sunk in yet It's nice to be hopeful again. 

I can't remember now how many times I've seen In the mood for love. "If there's an extra ticket, would you go with me?"  Again, at missed connections. i think it's a bigger tragedy than unrequited love. A missed connection suggests that, a love could have flourished. both people want it, but for whichever reason, the connection never quite contacted. Looking deeper into the last few scenes. Mr. Chow, decides to leave for Singapore. Leaves a message for Mrs. Chan. "If there's an extra ticket, would you go with me?" Mrs. Chan, goes to their old hotel room and finds she's too late. 3 years later in Singapore, Mrs. Chan goes into Mr. Chow's apartment, looks at the room and phones Mr. Chow. She connects. He answers. She doesn't talk.  Why? Why doesnt she answer? She spent that whole time looking for Mr. Chow. We'll never know why. Sayang! 3 years later, Mrs. Chan returns to their old apartmen...
