One Special Celebrity
People usually always mention about their relationships as "Love at first sight." However, this phrase only applies to regular people. If someone says, "I think my love for Tom Cruise is love at first sight." People would think he/she is crazy. Right? Why? One the explanation would be Mr.Tom Cruise is a celebrity. If I said something like this to my mom, she would have said something like this to me, "Are you crazy? Mr.Tom Cruise is a famous actor. Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are?" She then continued to lecture me until I felt dizzy and actually experienced the craziness in me.

So regular people like us, we usually could show our admiration for the celebrities, and express our appreciation for their excellent performances; but we are forbidden to have feelings for them. The lives of these celebrities are so private and they have their own circle of friends. Regular people could not even have the chance to be their friends. And we are not supposed to be "in love" with the celebrities.
Regular people can meet their mates for the first time and have an instant attraction toward each other even they don't know one another. However, when people watch a movie and they feel attracted to the actor/actress for the first time, then this is totally taboo.
I recently came across a photo on the web, accidentally, and it surprised me because the photo of a man was inhumanly beautiful. He was about thirty-one year of age. I was not sure that the photographer has done a good job or the person was actually too gorgeous. I later found out that he was a famous actor in Beijing, China. I do respect him enough not to mention his name; but he totally does not deserve a bit of my kindness. I was curious about this famous actor so I asked around and people in China-Town introduced me to his movies. After watching one of his movies, in regard of his look, he was extremely good looking; but his acting sucked to the core.

Fortunately, I have a friend that knows this actor's phone number. I was happy and excited to pick up the phone and called his number in Beijing. The person who answered the phone told me that he was still in Russia for some kind of festival so the gentleman asked me to call back in two days. I said to myself, "Wow, then I will have a chance to tell him how gorgeous he is!"
At that time, I did not realize the fact that I have invaded his privacy. I actually felt bad about it; but I could not resist the temptation to make a compliment on his look. The feeling was so overwhelmed. Two days later, I sent him a text-message instead of calling him directly. My first text-message was just a "Hi, Mr. C--- K--."
He replied, "Who is that?"
"I am your admirer." I responded with nervousness.
He replied the second time, "F---ing B-tch, I am not the one that you are looking for. Don't disturb me again. Don't "let" me feel sick. If you are crazy, go find a doctor. Crazy B-tch. F--- "out""
He cursed me up and down. I was stunned and motionless. I could not say anything more, not even to comment on his good looking…
Well, I rest my case. My invasion of his privacy was one thing; but to curse a person that you don't even know is unbelievable rude. I have never been so humiliated and insulted in my whole life. My feeling for him at that point was not even a crush or an infatuation… All I wanted to say to him was, "Sir, you are remarkable gorgeous."

The Extent of Fate

October 2nd 2007 23:42

The Extent of Our Fate
During our lifetime, fate has brought people into our lives, and other times, fate has taken people away from our lives. Out of these people, some we only met for a fraction of a second, some stayed with us longer, some will spend or has spent a lifetime with us, and some we have never met or will never meet. People have come in and out from our lives according to the "schedule." In saying this, I think not only the concept applies to people but also to every choice and every event in our lives.
I took a short tour to Oregon just past last week. The bus was filled with passengers from different countries and different states. Some singles, some with families, and some with their spouses. During the tour trip, besides enjoying the beautiful sceneries and taking photos, I observed how people behaved and interacted with other people on the same bus that they have never met. I thought to myself that I was meant to spend only three days on this trip with them during my lifetime. I was sure that they might have thought the same way. When the trip was over, the chance of seeing each other was quite rare or almost never. If this was the case, then why bother to get to know each other?
I was right. When the trip finally ended, no one asked for their neighbors' phone numbers or any other kind of contacts. People did not even bother to think about the concept of fate. They were too busy getting off the bus to get to their final destinations, and to move on with their lives. Tomorrow would be another day for them to meet new people and to pursuit activities that fate has planned for them.
In writing this article, I was just reminded myself of a special person. I was introduced to him through another friend at the company Christmas party. The few minutes of introduction was the first time as well as the last time that I saw this man. The next time I "met" him was at his funeral. He died in a car accident. Life is so amazing. The first time we met, he was a strong and happy man; and the second time, his body was in ashes inside the urn. At this point in my life, I am still not sure why fate had brought his presence to me; but I believe that his existence would mean something to my life even he had already gone.
Every so often, unnoticeable, fate just arranges the meetings between people. However, not all the meetings are at the right time and at the right place. Sometimes, we might like those people that we met and sometimes, we might not. Do we have a choice to meet or not to meet these people? I guess not. All the arrangements are actually out of our controls.
From time to time, we disliked some people and they kept popping up in our lives. Other times, there are special someone(s) that we want to meet; but it does not matter how much time and efforts that we have put in; and we have tried everything we possibly could to make the wishes come true. However, at the end, fate prevents us from meeting these individuals.
When I was younger, I always thought that I could make my own choices in life. So what if I did? I worked hard toward that choice and I ended up with disappointment. I have experienced, not once, but many disappointments during my lifetime by pursuing my choices and chasing after my dreams because I did not believe in fate. On occasion, I have tried to stay away from different people or events; but at the end, I still would end up with them.
At times, I feel powerless knowing that my fate is predestined and I cannot change a single thing. Even if I did change a simple thing, it is inconsequential, it is just a fraction of a whole path, and the end result would still be the same. Now, when I make a decision, it was based on the flip of a coin. I closed my eyes, and let fate decides the choice for me. As it sounds passive as it might be, I still have to live through a life according to the fate that has been predestined for me. It is like taking a tour provided by the traveling company, where the schedule is set for the whole trip, and all I need to do is just sit back, relax, and enjoy the sightseeing. Wherever the path leads me, I will do my best to make it as fulfilling as I could – I just go with the flow.
