Bedtime Stories and My Past

I watched the movie “Bedtime Stories” with the hope that I could find an inspiration to write about. Bad thing, the movie just ended and my drive to finish 2 articles for the day also ended. Haha. The bright side of it…? I enjoyed the movie. I felt like I was a bit younger again. And then I imagined being read to with a bedtime story. I swear, I love to dwell into the world of imagination. With a world dwelt by mermaids, fairies, majestic creatures and talking animals, what else will a wanderer’s mind would ask for!

Final Frontier - a Personal Reflection of Star Trek Movie


 I must admit that I was wrong of having no interest on the new movie Star Trek. In my top ten movies of 2009 listed on my blog, I included this movie not because I have the impression that it is a good movie. The decision of having it on the list was influenced by some other factors including what I’ve heard from other people and what I have read in the news. But after having watched the movie that kept me fisting my pillow, I conclude that Star Trek is indeed one of the best movies of the year.
            There are a lot of things that I have learned from it. It is of course a science fiction, so I have got to explore new possibilities in the field of science. But what deeply absorbed in my memory are the things that are more important to me than the scientific aspects of the movie.

The Lost Symbol Reflection


“The Lost Symbol”, the third book of the “Da Vinci” sequel was recently released in September this year. With more than a million copies in its first 24 hours[1], no wonder Dan Brown’s fans have long been waiting for another chapter of Robert Langdon’s ecstatic adventures. The story of a fictional symbologist began capturing more fans since the big screen hit of the movie “Da Vinci Code”. What rapt both readers and movie-goers were its fast paced thrills in every chapter one could not dare to miss. Having familiar religious sites in every scene as well added its controversial revelations worth reading.

What Makes a Winner by Robert Tamasy


I was at the bookstore randomly reading some books I found at the philosophy section. From the lowest level of the bookshelf, one word caught my attention “Winner”. I grabbed it and read the description printed at the backside of its cover. Do not judge the book by its cover; I literally lived by this quote that time. So, didn’t decide to buy it right away.

I liked its cover because of its slick, artistic yet graphically neat and professional-looking design. I also liked what was written on its back as well as on its front cover. “What Makes a Winner” by Robert Tamasy. The title of the book and its author sounded really familiar that time. I knew I have met them somewhere before.
