Russian Dolls

Quotes from the French movie Russian Dolls:

If I think about all the girls I've known or ... just desired, they're like a bunch of Russian dolls. We spend our lives playing the game, dying to know who'll be the last. The teeny-tiny one, hidden inside all the others. You can't get to her right away. You will have to follow the progression. You have to open them, one by one, wondering, "Is she the last?"

I know you're not always perfect. I know you have tons of problems, defects, imperfections... but who doesn't? It's just that I prefer your problems. I'm in love with your imperfections. Your imperfections are just great!

Different Ground

Not long ago, I met a really intriguing and charismatic person. For some reason, we never seem to be on common ground. No matter what I did, nothing seems to work out and we often argue. It is not so much about who is right or wrong, but I believe it is more about misunderstanding and miscommunication. Yet, after all the efforts and good deeds I may have done, this person overlooks any good qualities I may have and only see the faults in me. As they say, it is not about finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

So my friend explains to me that we are on different grounds. This person vibrates on a different frequency than me, and that this person does not feel me, according to Buddhism. My very wise friend says that I probably vibrate on higher frequency, and that this person needs to bring him or herself up. I asked why is it that I vibrate higher? It seems that I have been to the West. According to Buddhism, there's a Western world where Amitabha Buddha resides. In the Western world, it's easier to reach enlightenment.

Of course, as my other wise friend says, I should be thankful that my heart was touched by someone so special, and be thankful as well for the opportunity and excitement of getting to know one another, regardless of the outcome.

I must admit, good reasoning and advice! Thanks guys!

Sarkozy

Two and a half years ago, my nephew and niece from Cambodia came to visit Paris. It was their first time travelling outside of Asia, and they were at awe with everything they saw. Everything was such a great experience to them. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

During their stay, I had shown them all around Paris. And before they left, I took them to an auto show. At the auto show, we ran into Nicolas Sarkozy, who was just a minister then. M. Sarkozy shaked the hands of both my nephew and niece, and is now the new president of France. Upon my last trip to Cambodia, I shaked the hands of both my nephew and niece, just in case I'd get lucky like M. Sarkozy.

Ever since my return, I finally got my guitar fixed ... 6 months later. Today, I even played the lottery in the Euro Million. Let's see if the wheel of fortune finally turns. One thing is sure, I still got 39% chance of luck for the end of year ... we'll see if the tables start to turn ... talking about a revolution.
