The Children of Kobe: A Moving Japanese Movie

Just watched the movie "The Children Of Kobe" on NHK  this evening and it was a gem! Short, succinct and a tear-jerker.

The movie revolves around 2 strangers whose lives got entwined for a day when they revisit their hometown of Kobe after more than 10 years.

Having gone through the powerful earthquake that took close to 5,000 lives in Kobe in 1995, both parties share their feelings and internal struggles over 1 night.

The show is captivating and engaging even though most of the time it focused only on the couple. Injected with humor, it touches the heart without being cheesy and is surprisingly good! 

A rare find to end our weekend. Love it! =)

Danny Gokey - My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me: Loving My 30s!

I was chatting with a good friend over beer a few days back about how we thought people in their 30s were old when we were in our 20s. And how we now think that 40 is that far away number instead.

But hey, time flies and I love being in my 30's. And I seriously don't get it when others crack jokes about being 3-0. Along with my Secondary school days, I think the 30's is one of the best times of my life.

::Knowing what I want in life now makes life more meaningful::

I so identify with the song, especially the first 2 verses. And boyfriend, if you're reading this. Don't worry, there's only 1 part of the song I don't identify with... I just want 1 lover to kiss. ;)
