The Faceless Man

     There are times when I think people should think a little deeper, a little happier, to make life more enjoyable. I heard a story on a TVB show, On Call 36 小时 2, also called Hippocratic Crush 2, today. I would like to share it with you guys! (: 

     Once upon a time, there was a faceless man, he had no facial features, no weight, no color, just transparent. Because of this, no one would be able to see his presence. Faceless people think life is illusory, so this man asked the angel up above: why should he be thrown into the world? The angel did not show up to answer him, but there was a voice telling him after every experience he faces, he will find his answer. This faceless man first encountered ants. The ants requested him to see the bottomless sea to help find the courage the ant lost and bring it back up. The faceless man was scared himself, but eventually, he jumped into the sea. He swam and swam. He found the courage the ant needed. For the first time ever, the faceless man felt his heart beat. 

     Then he found a withered flower. The withered flower asked him to go over the forest to help her find her lost love. So the faceless man walked into the forest. After many hardships, he finally found love, love to bring back home to the flower. Once the flower got the love, it began to bloom again. The faceless man finally sees the the beauty in the blooming flower. 

     After that, the faceless man encountered a mean lion. The lion says that his kindness fell into the darkness long ago. The faceless man succeeded in helping the lion find the kindness that fell into the darkness of the world. He then found on himself, he has color. 

     After the faceless man encountered many people, from ten, to hundred, to a thousand on his journey. He learned a little bit more each time he encountered someone. He learned to love, to feel, to be kind, and many more! At last, he asked the angel, "What do you look like?" The angel replied,"I look like you." From that point on, the faceless man has the appearance of an angel. 

      This story made me realize that everyone is an angel. (: No one can stop you from being one. It is up to you, to choose the life you want to live. You may not be able to choose the life you are given, but you definitely can choose how to live it. 

     Hope you guys like it! Have a wonderful weekend! (:

Have you ever heard a song and fell completely in love with it? And then you would go searching up the song and have it playing on repeat. Haha. It happens to a lot of people. And the best part is you can share your music you listen to with others! Here are some songs that I rediscovered recently. There's PLENTY more, but here's some of it. Enjoy!

-"Missing Piece" by David Choi-

Have you guys watched Wong Fu Productions? I heard this song from the group's piece, "Away We Happened." It was a really cute piece about how two strangers became lovers. I thought the song really set the mood in that one scene where the guy was showing the girl around town. It was so cute and sweet!

-"Stars Falling Down" by Kina Grannis-

Guess where I heard this song? WONG FU PRODUCTIONS! As you can see, I watch quite a bit of the group's short films and such. This one was from "When it Counts." There's a clueless guy who doesn't see that the girl who has been his friend all along likes him, when he constantly talks about another girl to her. Talk about being blind from love huh? BUT don't worry. It all works out at the end. ^_^ 

The next two songs are ones that I heard on Pandora and fell completely in love with. Check it out! 

-"Savin' Me" by Nickelback -

-"Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts-

-"Eternally Yours" by Tim Ellis ft. Claire-

Ever seen Triumph in the Sky 2? It's a TVB drama that I watched recently, which featured this song! Love the song! It's so sweet and for all those who has ever been in love or fallen in love, even missing someone, it's the perfect song. It expresses all the feelings and emotions one has. 

The next two songs were from the Pixar movie, Brave. They're so touching! Ahh!

-"Touch the Sky" by Julie Fowlis-

-"Into the Open Air" by Julie Fowlis-

Last but not least, this piece is the music part of the short film by Pixar, "The Blue Umbrella." It's really soothing to the ears and catchy. The short film is so cute! It's one of the cutest love stories I've seen in less than ten minutes! 

-"The Blue Umbrella" Music by Jon Brion-

Hope you enjoyed these songs as much as I do! 

In Love With.... Yams!

I know what you're thinking. Who likes yams? Guess what? I do! And not any yams but Japanese yams! They are soo delicious. Try it out! Try something different. It never hurts to try and maybe you will like it too! It's all about that first step. Baby steps! 

Boiled eggs, fish balls, Japanese yams, turnips, and tofu pockets!

A bowl of rice topped with onions, pork pieces, and Japanese yams! Mmm mmm in my tummy! 

Ducky Adventure!

Anyone seen the big rubber duck in San Pedro? Today's the last day! It's the cutest thing ever! Everyone can relate to it since it's a childhood little baby toy adults give to little kids to take bubble baths with! From a little toy to a gigantic version of it! The big yellow rubber duck is part of the Tall Ships Festival. Along this little adventure of mine, I went onto the ships and explored around the crew deck and the hallways down into the ships. It was quite a sight to see how sailors and mariners live in ships. Here's some pictures I took on my little adventure! Enjoy!
