Funeral

I saw batman the other day. I honestly wasn't impressed. It actually met my expectations. There was so much hype, and the movie turned out to be quite average. I couldn't even understand half the dialogue because they were mumbling. Batman didn't use any cool gadgets, the fights were kinda short, there was no detective work, and i was really hoping for more. In retrospect, i didn't even really care for the past 2 batman movies. owellz..

I also finished up Big. i was kinda disappointed how fast they tied things up. They dont even show him at the end! Gah i coulda been casted and laid in a comma for 15 episodes! There was a few tear jerkers when they actually do confess their feelings. I dont see why they didnt jus do that from the start. so much drama, just hook up already, gah. Stop playing hard to get. I shoulda jus walked onto the drama and swept Lee Min Jung for myself! lol.. im debating if i should watch Lie to Me, Personal Taste, or Iris. I'll probably jus try to get back into City Hunter if i get bored. mm i think im done with kdramas for awhile..

Today was long. I woke up grumpy cuz my mom woke me up to go to the dentist office. I dont like being woke up 5 mins before we hafta leave. I dont like rushing when im still dead tired. I even yelled, "Mom! Stop talking." I felt really bad. i realize how much i complain. I realize how much she does and i can seem to show or express much appreciation. It makes me upset at myself. Later i got lunch with my Dad, and we actually had a conversation about God which is rare. I pray that God helps me to be patient with my parents, and also that i would display the love of Christ to them.

After my mom got off work we went to a funeral. I've probably only gone to 3 or 4 of them before. I actually got a little teary a few times because of the eulogy and all. I didn't even know my mom's friend's mom. She had 3 sons and 6 granddaughters. What hit me was all the things the sons remembered about their mom. She lived a full life of both quantity and quality. She pasted away at the age of 89. Her husband passed away 6 years ago, and she was living in a hospice. The sons told stories about how she grew up working in the sugarcane fields. They talked about how she was very independent. They described how she loved to cook. She had very famous dishes. She taught her granddaughters her special recipes and it was seen as passing on her legacy. They spoke of the memories they had when their mom would always take care of them. One son shared how she was involved in YMCA classes and dance classes. He shared how she loved her avocado tree. Her only two regrets was not keeping the family closer together and not being able to see her granddaughters and great grandchildren grow up.

Even though a believer is set free from this world, it still hurts. The loss of a loved one is still very sad and painful. It was difficult to see all the lives that one person touched. It was hard to see others mourning. It was strange to see how some people didn't really seem to be affected. It was hard to see that only memories of her were left in this temporal world. I think the hardest part for me was hearing her one son say, "Mom, we miss you, and we love you." It made me think of how often i take for granted the people in my own family.
