On the lighter side-Movies-Skyline (2010)

Good movie and good special effects about a group of people trapped in a high rise Los Angeles apartment trying to escape the invasion of alien forces whose lights pull the people up to their space ships. It was made for a half of a million dollars and made tons of money. It seems like there is going to be sequel (which I hate) since all these Science fiction and horror movies have to have to story continued (and make money in the process). Recommended

On the lighter side-Movies-Hard Ride to Hell (2010)

Ah these horror movies, another one in the long line of Devil Worshipping Motor Cyclists (why?) and nudity included in human sacrifice mumbo jumbo and the essential dumb teens (or in this case adults) in this movie, not that great to pass your time and not that much horror to boot. Not Recommended

On the lighter side-Movies-Shaolin (2011)

Superior Martial Arts movie starring Andy Lau as an arrogant general who gets humbled when he is betrayed by this assistant and ends up at the Shaolin Temple and transforms his life when his daughter is killed. Along with a reluctant Shaolin Martial arts cooks Jackie Chan, this is a delight of a movie to watch with beautiful photography and human drama. Recommended In Chinese with English Subtitles

The Third Death Anniversary of My Father’s Death

Today is the third year when my father departed for the hereafter. It is really hard to imagine that I am without a father for the last three years. I loved him dearly and he loved me dearly too. We were not the best of buddies but it was more like a father and son relationship and I was extremely close to him. I miss his laugh and his talk and his anger and just his presence used to make me forget things and make me feel comfortable. Now I have been without his comfort and his advice and his wisdom for the last three years and I still can't imagine that he is gone. I am also a father now but I still miss my father a lot too and still refuse to believe that he is gone and always talk about him in the present tense.

I try to do as much as possible to keep his memory alive and think about him every day. I am sure my sister misses him too but the effect that it had for me I don’t know if it has the same effect on them. Well everybody grieves in their own way and I have my own way to grieve. May he rest in peace and may his presence keeps on influencing me and may his memory be kept alive for ever. I love you dad.
