"I like the way you handle me"

I've never watched the korean's version of My Sassy Girl before, but I just watched the American's remake of it. Although I heard that the Korean's version would elicit more laughter (don't they always?), I think the english version is so heartfelt, really made me tear! This movie reminds me of The Lakehouse.

Charlie Bellow: On the reasons to stop seeing her side we have:
One, on going physical danger.

It was so moving! I really enjoyed Jordan's character in this show because she's so weird in her own way and completely insane, and the things she did were so unique.

I'm driven to write this post precisely because I can't entirely ignore the nagging voice inside my head, telling me to use writing as a tool to not only express myself, but to reclaim my voice. It is such an insanely noisy world. The constant stream of information from different online platforms not only pull me from various directions, but it spreads my attention too thin that it is impossible to follow one stream of thought, sit on it for awhile, slowly reflect and if possible, articulate it. It is not ...

Information vs. Knowledge

“To know how to put what knowledge in which place is wisdom. Otherwise, knowledge without order and seeking it without discipline does lead to confusion and hence to injustice to one's self.” - Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas This week's key takeaway for me is that; knowledge requires knowing its proper order and place.  Everything else is just information.

Infinity

unbounded to any definitions or limits, existing but not adequately known. this entity, being constantly talked about, pulls like an unbeatable gravitational force. we are always approaching, almost touching, existing in tandem, still, not yet meeting Infinity the eventual meeting where there are no bounds
