Family First

Wow...it's been ages since I last posted. As I have said the good old lazy days are over, at least for this semester which is until December. Hopefully it gets better from there. But I'm getting a hang on this hectic schedule, it keeps me alive and busy. Days seem to just flee by the second. Glad I found some spare time to log in today. I needed some time off my books anyway. By the way, I'm not pretending to be all studious but the schoolwork is just insane. If I don't find the time to read each day, I'd be buried in it and would be very hard to pass exams.

Ok. I wanted to blog about Click,an Adam Sandler movie. I don't particularly like him and his acting but he made me look twice on 50 First Dates. That movie just swept me off my feet, made me laugh and cry at the same time. And so I heard that his latest movie made some of my colleagues cry. They assured me it wasn't stupid, like The Waterboy.

I had mixed feelings. Adam Sandler's acting was just bad. It's not like I didn't know what to expect from him but it was kind of inappropriate this time. There were times when his goofiness didn't seem right for some intimate and touchy moments. There was one scene when he was about to die. He was saying his final goodbye to his family, parting with words of wisdom to his children and apologizing to his then ex-wife when he stuck his middle finger up the ex-wife's husband.

But other than that, I thought the story was good. I love the moral lesson because it was truly an eye opener. Never make your job, money, material things more important than family. There will always be promotions. Money can always be earned and things will lose its value but the love of your family is the one thing that will give true happiness. Our loved ones are our most priced possession because without them we'd be rich, fat and divorced, just like Michael from the movie. It's easy to get swept away with all the things the world can offer but it should not stand in the way from showing our love to our family. That's why some rich folks still get depressed and drink their way to death because there would always be a void that money couldn't fill.

And so, as busy as my schedule is, we always find time to cuddle with my daughter, take her to wherever she wants to go and do the things she loves to do because her happiness comes first.
