I am loving this new comedy drama I am watching, “Incisive Great Teacher, 犀利仁师”. It’s full of laughter and teachings not only students can gain insight from. If you love Chinese dramas I highly recommend it.

From today’s drama dreamland a small reminder popped up to tell me to focus on the good rather than the bad in life. It may seem life is full of disappointments but there are also beautiful sparkles in between.

“其实人生并不完美，但是并𣎴代表人生不美”

I went to a seminar over the weekend about marriage and relationships that made me discover a little part of myself. In the seminar the speaker often talks about relationships and how your original family has deep rooted influences that is buried within. Sometimes those unresolved issues are extra magnified when you find the one you love. Whatever that was unfulfilled are like debts and these debts are massively increased in expectations in front of the ones you love. If these expectations are not met, the deep set wounds that exists will intensified into multiple folds. What’s worse is it can be past down each generation. What can we do to remedy this???

In my past experience I always felt the ones I loved the most brought the worst out of me because I have such intense feelings for them and want them to think of me as the special one and only. Each time I wanted to get closer or when my feelings grew for the one I admired it made everything little thing seem like a big deal. Getting into a relationship was dangerously emotional as the speaker describes. Although I was not able to digest everything that was spoken to me, I thought this was worth remembering and sharing.

“To love is to bring out the best in each other” ~Wei-Jen Huang

Perhaps this is not a solution to all our problems and fears but we can keep it to heart and choose to “bring out the best in each other” and not the “worst in each other”. Then just maybe, we can relax, enjoy and value each other in a different light.

I’ve been loving this new TVB Drama Swipe Tap Love, 愛我請留言. Here’s a few quotes about love that I want to shared with everyone. I am very uncertain about love but these quotes spoke to me and gave me encouragement.

I didn’t really understand most of the Chinese characters in this cartoon when I saw it in the drama. I just knew the people were not happy yet they show a happy face to their loved ones. After translating the dialogue I realized parents are just an older version of us. They are susceptible to sadness, failures, hardship just like us. In a family crisis they have to muster all their courage and sanity to take care of the situation and take care of our feelings and daily needs. This responsibility starts the moment we are born until the end of their life. It’s not something everyone can live by, so thank you parents! Especially single parents, thank you to my dearest mother.

Wouldn’t life be wonderfully happier if we all gave a helping hand and threw out each other’s trash? Sometime all it takes it a quiet listening ear, a kind word. ^_^
