How To Succeed

How To Succeed

Life is a strange mix of success and failures.
Those who succeed more than others have a
habit of ignoring the failures and
remembering the success. It is like you select
good fruit from a basket. Do you remember
the bad ones that you throw away?

But strangely most of us keep our failures in
our memory and forget our success!

Just reverse it and see the miracle!

The Incredible Hulk


I watched The Incredible Hulk right after I watched The Dark Knight so I can't help but compare the two. They're both comics characters after all.

I'd have to say, there's not much comparison there. The Dark Knight is a bigger production and definitely better. With Hulk, I got a headache watching the computer graphic fight scenes and I don't understand much of what's happening in the climax battle between Hulk and Abomination. I think it's too violent for my taste.

But I like the story about Bruce Banner fighting to cure himself so that what he had in him will not be used by the military as weapon, which is really dangerous since the power is uncontrollable.

Another good thing is that Edward Norton has a nice body, now that's some good eye candy.^^

The Dark Knight


I've finally got to watch this movie in DVD after all the chaos and talk about this film, I still didn't get the chance to watch it on big screen, and I'm regretting that now. But anyways, it's still good that I did get the chance to watch it and I like it just fine.^^

It's sad that Heath Ledger is gone now, he did a great job for this movie! Awesome performance and even if he's the villain, no offense to Christian Bale who played Batman and did quite well too, but Joker is the main man in this film. It's all him and it's amazing how Heath Ledger with his good looks can become the scary joker and made it so believable!

I love that they put more depth in this movie not just the ordinary super hero movie that we usually get. It's a twist of a sort because this time, batman becomes the bad guy in the eyes of the people while doing something good. He's the dark knight because of his sacrificial nature and working behind the lime light. The last scene is what I loved most, when Gordon called Batman the silent guardian, the Dark Knight.

Portrait of a Friend

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

I promise to try to do all of these things
and be the best friend I can be from now on!
