Heart Space #54: Limitless

The movie is about a drug that grants you access to your other unused 80% of your brain power. This is of course not true, by the way, as we utilized every part of it..Anyway, according to the movie, you become more focused, able to piece together loose information, buried thoughts, pick up skills faster that you can say "Bruce lee".

Will one be addicted to this super drug if it is present in our time? Who would not right? It makes you smarter, boost your confidence and rich if you make use of it correctly. I'm sure in our near future, a drug like this can alter the way humans function. Humans have never been known as being satisfied; we are inquisitive, always trying to outreach, outdo each other and push the limitations of human and behavioral ethics.

What will the future be like for us and our children? The digital world is evolving at an alarming rate than ever before. Will we live in a world so marred by digital technologies that it seems virtual to us, even in a real world? If so, what genre could the movie makers make? It has to be either romance or drama, for actions and sci-fri stories will not be so alluring anymore. We need movies to make us weep in joy and in pain, to make us feel human once again.

Heart Space #53: 1778 stories of me and my wife

The story was about a sci-fi novelist who ended up writing a short story a day for his wife who was struck worth colon cancer. It was a very touching movie that I caught on the plane back to Singapore.

It demonstrated the love that they have for each other and how strong tine emotions is between a husband and wife. It made me reflect upon the decade which I have known my wife from college. We have progressed so much in our lives, and notably the sacrifices that she had made for the family.

The little daily chores, ensuring clothes are washed, researching new menu for lunch and dinner, taking care of the child are all part of how my wife tells me each day of just how much she loves me. Though the years, we have grown so accustomed to each other that one could not imagine the life without each other and yet we do not treasure as much as we should have. To us, there's always tomorrow, for that getaway, the celebration or the apology that is long overdue. The thing is that we never know when our numbers are up, or what events may strike us. Regret is always a moment too late.

As this plane is touching down Singapore in about 10 minutes, I wished it would u-turn back to Bahamas where the loves of my life are. I'll be counting down the days when I return, and when i do, i make sure they get my message of my love for them.
