Moving On: 127 Hours


This musing maybe a bit of a stretch of the main subject matter of this blogsite. I just happened to prefer films dealing on travel. Yet, I realized during a Christmas eve dinner conversation that the film by Danny Boyle actually covers, in so many ways than one the topic about "moving on." It's not an easy movie to watch, even to bear thinking about. One of those around during that conversation remarked jokingly that it's all about 'the pain of separation.'

On the surface, it can be seen as a movie on 'survival' or even a 'horror' movie. It's a moving on film because it shows how one great individual has gone out of his 'usual' way to overcome his 'very real & pressing' predicament - and in the process, he decided he couldn't be stuck all the while awaiting for his time. Everything fell into their proper places, as many would like to say. Our protagonist in this film (based on a real life story) took the pain to simply overcome his situation, no matter how painful it would be for him. Watch why it's also about 'moving on' if you have the chance. Or you may just share me your thoughts on this, if you disagree or you have other views. Thanks!

The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
