at the end of the day it's just cornflakes....

-- adam sandler in "click"

that line is a quote from one of the dozens of movies i watched during the semester holidays. well to be honest i won't really rave about "click" but there are some parts of the movies that make you think twice and reflect on your life in general. thus, the verdict --> me like.

it's quite strange how this movie speaks to me because all these while i've been chasing this so-called-"success" in life. but what IS "success"? is it wealth? is it prestige? respect maybe? balance in life? i guess the movie tries to explain that the sweet of success is not the end result, but rather it is the process because at the end of the day, it's just cereal... ain't that true.

for those who have not watched, the analogy they used mentioned about a cereal advertisement with a leprechaun chasing after a pot of gold(en cornflakes) at the end of the rainbow.

the more interesting part is that this particular movie somehow coincidentally corelates with the church sermon i attended last sunday. when people born in the 80s and above asked what is their vision in life they do not answer they want to be an architect, not even a doctor which was supposed to be popular? they just want to be rich. i quietly answered similarly by the way. ouch.

the pastor later explained that it is the society and especially the parents who constantly keep on reminding their children that they should study hard for a better life, so that they can buy things they want to, so that they can be rich. people just want a shortcut, something simple, something easy but unfortunately sometimes it is beyond reach. why? because when you are chasing after the ultimate (whatever it is) there will be someone who is better than you, you will be disappointed and never satisfied. and when you have reached the ultimate *if you ever* with a shortcut you question the meaning of it all. they're just cornflakes ain't it?

i suddenly feel the urge to spend more time with my family, been spending way too much time with the books and my friends. only have two days in jakarta before i leave for my second semester, i guess i have to work on that. think about all the things your family have done for you (parents especially?), things they have sacrificed for you. i guess my family does provide. if you're thinking in economy terms, read again the title of the post. it is L.O.V.E. :)

o gawd, i'm so mushy today argh... happy new year btw.

I believe everything wrote made a ton of sense. However,
consider this, suppose you added a little content?
I ain't suggesting your content isn't solid, however what if you added a post title to maybe grab folk's attention? I mean "at the end of the day it's just cornflakes.
..." is kinda vanilla. You could look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they write news titles to get viewers interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab people interested about everything've written. Just my opinion, it could make your website a little bit more interesting.
