Its About Taking Big Steps

Well I'm not going to talk about my youngest daughter who recently are learning to walk faster and jump here and there. I'm talking about when you finally end up in a spot in your life when you must whether you like it or not take big step to make a change for a better living, to thrive for your own sake or others. When I surf the net for BIG STEPS picture, came along a lot of picture showing a newly established business, couples getting married, or even a child or grown ups who literally is taking a big steps.

As a closer loop, a friend of mine who is finally taking a big step by adopting a child after a long years of waiting of their own, or a cousin who is finally takes a big steps to get married with our distant relatives for an arrange marriage.Whatever the cause and motives nor the aims and purposes, its tough and its not easy. It took courage, serious and repetitive thoughts it wouldn't be a BIG one if it doesn't. Because on some cases it could pull you out of your comfort zone or at least the zone that you "think" its comforting enough, but you'll never know until you have taken it.

The results, well, only the decision maker could feel the greatest impact. But one had to make sure that its the best and he/she deserves the result. If its for others sake, you must be sincere or you will regret it. But for me, there's no such things like that, every big step we made for others sake, in a way will also do something for ourselves eventually.

The most important thing is to never be afraid, be true to your self and follow you heart...

“Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated; you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.”

David Lloyd George quotes (British Prime Minister. 1863-1945)

I hope its not a boring post...

Easter is Just around the Corner

Easter is coming... and my office will be on a long weekend holiday. Starting this Good Friday.
And will have quite a busy weekend with family, attending Church for Holy Communion and friends meeting on Friday, Wedding reception on Saturday and finally, what my kids been waiting for, Sunday Easter Egg Hunt and morning services at church and I've got Kevin's (my niece) birthday party on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully will be able to take some good picture of it all, especially on the egg hunt.

Thanking my GOD for such a wonderful family and such a wonderful life...and how He's willing to sacrifice His life for us who believed in Him...

"Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

HACHIKO

Last week I watch this movie and cry half of the movie till its over for it so touching. The story is about a college professor meets this abandoned dog and they finally form an unbreakable bond. The dog arrives daily at the correct time at the station, to meet his owner. One day the professor died because of a a stroke while giving his lecture at the universtity and never came back to the train station, the dog keep waiting for his master for nearly a decade. The owner was played by Richard Gere and Joan Allen as his wife.

This movie is based on a true story of a Akita breed dog from Japan who waited for his master Hidesabure Ueno for nearly a decade after his owners dead. He waits everyday in front of the Shibuya Train Station in Tokyo. And he finally became famous in Tokyo for one of the professor student wrote an article about this dog and published it in the newspaper. Most of the people in Japan and I believe everyone who watched this movie will be touched by his loyalty and faithfulness. They made a bronze statue for Hachiko in front of the Shibuya Train Station and Hachiko him self was present at the opening ceremonial. And on March 8, each year, hundreds of dog lovers would held a solemn ceremony of remembrance at the train station.


As for me, the story of Hachiko reminds me of a spirit of a family. It amazed me on how a dog can be so devoted and never stop believing that his master will came back, even though he never knew when. He just never stop waiting. I even asks my 7 year old to watch this movie for an example of faith and loyalty towards someone we really care and love. As for your who haven't watched this movie and wud like to see it, i suggest you to bring a long a pack of tissue with you...
