Who could have thought that a simple baking/ cooking program would teach me about patience and perfection of love and life in general.
I was watching Chef at Home @ Asian Food Channel (hosted by my crush chef: Michael Smith), while he was making cinnamon roll out of yeast dough.
Using yeast on the dough, he said that: as much as you are already tempted to knead and bake it, you need to WAIT and allow the yeast do its job to make the dough rise. And it takes time and patience for you to achieve that perfect height of the dough.
You have to go through this process..before you can turn it into a delicious cinnamon roll.
Most of us don't like WAITING... and I am not an exemption to that. Come on...we'd like to get anything we want in an instant, right?
But then again, come to think of it, a lot of wonderful things are made into perfection because of patience.
They say that "Patience is a Virtue"; "Great things comes to those who WAIT"...and blah, blah, blah.
But yeah. I guess these are all true.
And in relationships:
perhaps, the equation: PATIENCE+ PERSEVERANCE = PERFECTION applies.
Just a thought: Learn to hold-on a little bit longer for that much awaited time.
After all, Mangoes are so much sweeter when they are ripened on tree, rather than artifically ripened.
P.S.
Okay, I'll be patiently waiting for you... ('coz i have no choice! haha... ;p )
nah... seriously, YOU are worth the wait
And we both know that when we are together again, we would be in state of near PERFECTION.
I find this movie romantic...yet, depressing at the same time.
the man: Henry (played by: Eric Bana)
the woman: Clare (played by: Rachel Mc Adams)
What I loved about The Time Traveler’s Wife is the theme of relationship / marriage.
Two people desperately love and want to be together, but there is one "issue" that keeps them apart…the Henry's time traveling.
But then, come to think of it: in the first place, it was Henry's time traveling that brought him to Clare.
In real life, the "time traveling" is an analogy.
That, in a relationship, there is this "thing" that's a BLESSING... and eventually becomes a CURSE (?).
Some couples meet and fall in love... because "work" brought them together. And it's also the same "work" that physically separates them.
(read: LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS )
Quote from Clare: "Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning.
I wait for him. Each moment I wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow and transparent as glass… Why has he gone where I cannot follow?"
Now, what if Clare and I share the same destiny... would i also WAIT for months...or years...until he comes back?
nah... i doubt it.
'coz for me: TIME and DISTANCE is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
but then, if it's really, really my destiny
...i would drop everything off
... i would NOT just sit and WAIT for him to be back again.
... rather, i would then be willing to move, to travel, and move again
and do all the ways JUST TO BE WITH MY MAN.
