  It's been a long time since I update my blog~~~
  
  A lot of ground work this year and it has been a great experience learning all that I have been learning. I LOVE LEARNING!
  
  Expanding knowledge and skills makes me happy and I believe it makes one more enriched and fearless. I support education at any point in life~~ I don't mean just going back to school... but any form of learning.
  
  I got to know this friend when I was watching a play 2 years back... The way he educates himself intrigues me and I love how he would go all out to pursue where he needs to go... if money was the problem, he switched and used another method and ways to learn. He always wanted to be a film director but back then, he was just a teacher... I told him about my dilemma in education. I really wanna go study...but the cost is so great. I did not wanna fall into the trap of indebting myself with the bank. I am no slave to anyone and anything, and I will not give my freedom away to exchange for a need. There must be another way.
  
  He found it and I love his humbling ways. Definitely the meek inherit the earth cos there is no pavement that is too lowly for him to travel...and learn he did...got to his dreams ~ he did. He wanted to learn more about making a film, so he volunteered to help a director to do - whatever. Holding the boom mike, setting up the lights - anything that he can get to learn - he did. And he made his intentions known as well that he wants to learn.
  
  He took a break from teaching in Australia and enrolled into a short course to learn on film making. He manage his finances well, made really wise decisions and now, 2 years later, his film has gotten into festivals, another one will be out soon and all these despite of the common excuses that anyone can and will make so as to stop him/herself from achieving that dream.
  
  Excuses:
  I am not young like the rest
  I do not have money
  I do not have time
  It is too hard
  Why must I take this hard road and not other people
  It is too troublesome
  I don't know
  What if...what if...what if...
  This trainer/school/opportunity is not good enough for me, I am better than that
  This trainer/school/opportunity is too good for me, maybe next time
  I don't want to think about it now
  
  Everyone has obstacles. I have them. My friend sure had them when he knew nothing about film making. He knocked on doors and asked and volunteers himself so he could learn - for free. He didn't care if the obstacle was money, he didn't care if he was learning from someone younger than him, he didn't care if he doesn't have the money to own the equipments yet, he was at step one and he was happy. It will eventually go on to step 2 as long as you don't give up.
  
  I believe in the saying that when you really want it, nothing/nobody can stop you. The universe or I would say God will help you.
  
  If you had fallen in love before, you would know - I can run ten thousand miles across fire & mountains and more if that is what it takes to get to the person.
  
  Get to your dream. Learn in whatever ways you can. No one can stop you but you... but the pride, the insecurities, the uncertainties.... nothing is certain cos at any point of time, one can just drop dead.
  
  

  To fear on all that's tomorrow... you'd have died today. To live like you'd die tomorrow, what's there to fear today?

  Discard the fear baggage. Hop on the dream boat and head on with the heart full of faith~~don't give up nor look back. Your heart needs you to save it. Proof the proofs wrong.
  Be alive, not dead.
