Across the street, people are busy watching the lit-up windows and shop fronts, checking items in the night market. A woman with tied hair wearing cream pants and red knitted shirt, is carrying two large shopping paper bags, crossing to the opposite side of the road. She walks along by a restaurant named Serendipity with the smell freshly baked bread and aroma of brewed coffee. She was drawn to enter and then it occurs to her that this is the place where he first saw him. This is the place where they would spend hours of conversation, laughing, and sometimes just reading or studying. Hers is a book in literature while he solves his mathematics and physics problems. It has been 10 years from today. Everything was beautiful music back then.

She thought, why not? She had drive out here now and chances like this may never come again. She walks in and settled herself in a couch in the corner. Just for another little peek of this place, just her.

she woke up late and quickly prepared herself. nothing to think of but the journey ahead of her. driving her car in a ride that seems endless. she stopped at a coffee shop and bought a latte. and she started walking...

in nowhere's land. where bird and the wind is singing like an orchestra, a little loud that she could barely hear herself think. she stopped in the mountainside, amazed of the wonderful view in sight. the ground was soft, covered with layers of fallen leaves and pine cones. the towering trees tinted the sorrounding from the clear blue sky. "what a lovely sight & life this is" she said.

just when it was beginning to get dark, she walked back. stopped at the same coffee shop and grab another latte.

driving, she noticed the trees now by night darkened the heavens. the stars are twinkling or winking at her as if to share another secret: the art of enjoying solitude. she got her phone and called him... "i've got to move on. i've got to be on my own. goodbye."

you have to say goodbye with the same care as saying hello. you never know when you will be back. as for me, i never go back at all.

drinking a cup of coffee, he listened to the sound of the breeze of the morning while waiting for her. it was such a beautiful day. the waves of the ocean sings in a hymn as if it knows something wonderful is about to happen.

a man strolling with his dog. a couple watching the sun shines. some children playing in the sand, some happily enjoying the swim.

checking her watch from time to time, she couldn't figure out why he decided to meet her on such an early time. "and i can't get you out of my dreams, now i know you're a dangerous kind" was playing in the radio. a few cars in the road, making it easier for her to arrive on time.

red, yellow, orange, pink flowers are in bloom.. a cloudy but sunny day.

a perfect day.

"hi, how are you?" she asked. a smile on his face when he finally saw her....and a good conversation took place over a shared breakfast. their laughter echoes in a seem empty restaurant.

beep..beep..beep.. he checked his mobile phone
beep..beep..beep.. he read again

... she's silent. he looked at her... silence...

"i'm sorry. i have to marry her. my family... they're important to me. i hope you understand."

as he left his engagement ring in the table, his eyes were in tears. there was a blank expression on her face.

ahhh love....

myautumndream... whatever bitterness and difficulty one is facing, it will pass. one day you will look back and laugh at yourself for being stupid once

superwoman..God provides enough of what you need. and He will not give you any problem which you can't handle

favorite boss... everything happens for a reason, good or bad you will never know. just make the best out of any decision

an old friend... when you wanted to keep a distance from someone, take 2 steps at a time. soon, you will be totally over that person.

i did promise a continuation...

my bestfriend's ex gf... love yourself more than anyone else. at the end of the day, the person who will be there for you is no one but yourself.

my chinese best friend... choose someone who loves you more. a guy who loves you dearly will never hurt you.

*to be continued*

sometimes there are things in life we don't notice nor value however when one puts his eyes on it or claims it as his property, we began to give interests. or something like that.

in the series "kid nation" which is practically very funny. a kid devises an experiment on how weird or how people seems to amuse her... She wanted to check and see how far they'll go to get what they cannot have. She claims a small plot of land in the center of town and refuses to allow anyone to cross her borders without paying her a nickel! Soon enough, her plot of land becomes the most desired real estate in city and how she literally fighting to keep Kids off of her land ...

was supposed to finish reviewing the contract for canteen services when i got hooked with you-tube *wink*

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

You're beggin me to go, youre makin me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love,
and I'm chained to your side

We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield

We are strong, no one can tell us were wrong
Searchin our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

We're losing control
Will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold

i will walk with you. i will walk to where you will lead me. i will explore the roads to where you want to.

"... the path of life, to explore every bend of the road"

when someone parts from us, it is natural to grieve. after we grieve, we lift everything to Him. all the pain subsides... He heals all wounds.

every pain is natural and will happen to all of us. our worrying too much will keep up us from the real thing that we are trying to hold on: LIFE.

this is the same "Kite Runner" which i posted recently. after reading the book and watched it on big screen last night, i couldn't help but recommend this movie. it is a must-see movie. i was deeply moved by this film, the depth of every character.
