'The King's Speech' Is Another Awesome Moving-On Film


Colin Firth's depiction of George VI on the film 'The King's Speech' was inexorably fantastic - I could not help but read more about Queen Elizabeth II's father after viewing the movie.

Yes, this film shows very inspiring segments depicting George VI's efforts to move on from his life-long speech impediment. They are most particularly shown in scenes when he was having his first few sessions with his therapist, Lionel Logue, who actually didn't have credentials to begin with. These scenes show how people, the royalty among them, have to take charge of themselves and be persistent in overcoming the ill-effects of their past. This only happens after the individual decides to do so, despite feedback from others who usually don't know any better (but may sound well-intentioned). Also, it's remarkable to see how a left-handed person like George VI was made to use his right hand to write----just because of people's common and largely baseless beliefs.

Watch 'The King's Speech' and be reminded of your personal efforts to persist in moving on despite the terrible odds against you and the unbelieving attitude of people (including your loved ones) around you.

Read, too, the New York Times article ‘King’s Speech’: The Film to Beat and to Bad-Mouth to help you in deciding whether you have to watch it or not.

Update: HNY has already closed shop with the lead yogi Aaron Starr focusing his energies on Blue Osa , a yoga retreat and spa in Costa Rica.

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...
