do you believe in fate?
i do. i'm a believer in fate in that if it's meant to be, it will be-- eventually. the problem with that kind of thinking is that one can spend a life-time procastinating and waiting for something to happen while doing nothing to achieve it just on the basis of that blind faith! for every glance or smile from that someone you wish you knew or could get to know better, you might not receive again. fate might come along and sit right next to you today, but if you don't do anything but just sit there, she might be gone tomorrow. then you'll be beating yourself with regrets, like when she asked you if she had seen you at church that time, you should have tried to talked to her more instead of just shaking your head like a shy idiot, etc.!
i watched this korean movie tonight (i have no idea what it was called) about a guy and a girl accidentally exchanging letters and eventually falling for one another. the thing that keeps them apart isn't distance but time. you see the guy is living in 1998 and the girl is in 2000. don't ask me to explain it because i barely comprehended what the heck was going on (it was in korean!! it had chinese sub-titles but my chinese is pretty lame). the closest thing i could compare it to is like that sliding doors movie, but not really! anyway, i think the point was that you can change fate or destiny if you knew what was going to happen. if you knew being the key words. i think this korean movie was probably the exact opposite in terms of theme compared with T3.
it's funny how you can be reminded of someone. today someone walked past me, her perfume smelled kind of like apples, and straight away it reminded me of someone... she used to say that i kept too much to myself and never shared what was on my mind; the irony is that when i've got something to share, she's no longer here to listen to what i have to say...
