happy endings

Gio: ei, this thing came from a literature class...i know know, lit sux, but at least the lesson of this story (happy endings) is worth to look at. here goes...basically, the story starts with two lovers john and mary. the story then discusses what could have happened if the situation were like this. that situation would become a "happy ending." then the story manipulates the plot, bringing in extra characters, making john love another girl, making mary love a DOM and so on that results in bad endings. u see, beginnings (of a story) are more fun to come up with and read. through these beginnings the plot of the story changes that results in different endings.

hey, but come to think of it, this story is a FICTIONAL story. our story in life is not fictional, it's reality. so we should be glad that our beginnings are not altered by any supernatural force that make us have different endings. well we may say that God may be the one manipulating it (coincidences anyone?)

oh wait, i seem to be contradicting myself but hey, no matter what happens in life, we do have different beginnings and endings. i think that it's really all up to what we do in the middle that affects how we become. shape up people. think of how you can make life a blast.

Imman: Sorry it took me such a long time to respond.. I do'nt usually delve into endings and beginnings... I have read in a novel I mentioned in an earlier entry that life is like a stage play. The difference is that people get no rehearsals or second tries. The rehearsal is the play itself. It is frightening to think of every instance as my only shot at something. If I make a mistake, or let an opportunity pass, then it would be impossible to go back in time and change history.
Gio, remember your mantra back in third year? Eminem's lose yourself? It goes, "You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime" Carpe diem, gio... Seize the day! Think of every moment in your life as the beginning of something, even the endings...
It does not matter what happens in the past. What is done is done. We cant expect an all powerful force to manipulate our beginnings... What we CAN do is to learn from our mistakes. Trite as it may seem, we have to. Also, if we get no rehearsals for life, then what DO we do when commit mistakes? (from experience.. *wink wink*) ADLIB! Make the most of what life throws at us. And as what you said, think of how we can make life a blast!
