Il Mare (시월애)

A good companion for solitary moment at home, I watched this movie and has come to the conclusion that, I like it. Simple, soft, patience, and dreamy, the title, Il Mare, means 'The Sea' in Italian, and is the name of the seaside house which is the setting of the story. The Korean title, siworae is the Korean pronunciation of Hanja "時越愛," meaning "time-transcending love." Starring Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Jung-Jae, the story features two distinct timelines intertwined throughout the drama, with the only means of communication through a mysterious post box. I have watched the American version, The Lake House two years ago. Though the modern remade depicts better graphic, more beautiful setting and other advances, the original one is more inspiring, somehow. A story full of waiting and trust, with the time as the most important aspects between the protagonists' life. One of the most deep love stories that worth remembering, almost equal to my favorite movie, Turn Left, Turn Right ( 向左走·向右走)

Reality

Grateful to know the reality in a hard way, I have no regrets.
Though still feeling blue, the truth has set me free.
A new dimension of understanding has come.
That, it is an honour to know the hidden things.
Whatever it is entrusted, I will keep it.
Moment full of memories will always be my treasures.
Accepting the facts as what they are, I am standing strong.
Remember it is nobody's fault. Don't blame yourself for that.
I understand and never look down upon. I have forgiven.
Support and cares will always be provided.
No matter what, my heart remains the same.

untitled 2

one and half a month has gone by. gradually i have learned to understand what ought to be done.. most important keys for me; patience and sincerity. there are respectable words and opinions around, however i still need wisdom and good judgement. some might think i am a fool ..but well, i know what i am doing. i know where i am heading and i have prepared to take risks for the consequences. it is not easy to comprehend. not everyone could have the heart to share the burden. and not many could understand what i am going through. but i will be strong, preservere and hope for the best. i dont want to repeat my mistakes in the past anymore.

Noir et Blanc

2nd of August,

a morning spent for reading, accompanied by a cup of tea.
an afternoon filled with words & laughters with a sister friend.
an evening for solitary mood. Time for personal self & relaxation.

July swiftly past.. a month full of patience and learning.
Grateful for the present, coming back to myself.
Efforts have been undertaken.. so far it is the best.
Noir et blanc, certainly it will be unlocked.
