Memories

Can photo replace memories? Or memories to replace photos? My answer to you is "No". There will never be a time that photos can replace memories photos can aid bringing back fond memories. Have you ever been in a situation where you are holding a photo. Yet that smile on the face is that of memories in our mind and not the photo in our hand. Memories is often sweeter than what you see in photos. Photos is only useful in proving history. An evidence of you going to that specific place, at that specific time and doing that specific thingy. Memories is not evidence in that photograph nature. Its an evidence of mood, feelings and love. Yet, at times, sweet memories can bring back pain. Remembering someone that isn't there anymore.

I don't really remember my Ex girlfriends anymore. What I've done with them and where I've been with them. I choose to discard that portion of my memories.These memories, though sweet, are often too painful to be remembered. Am I escaping? I doubt so. Guess I'm just protecting myself from being hurt.

I've been taking lots of photos in the past. But I soon learn that some photos doesn't really bring back memories. Often I seen my service photo in various country. I know that I'm happy in the picture because I looked happy in the picture. But deep inside me, I don't know y I'm happy. I don't remember the names of the people in the picture. But when the pictures came to my mind when I'm doing nothing, just recalling my memories, they are as good as it just happened yesterday. How wonderful. I know everyone that appears in my memories. Everything that happened there in my memories, and also reasons y I'm happy, sad, angry or module's in that memories. If only memories can be converted into pictures. Else Photos are just evidence of history to me. Something you can throw away when you find that you don't needed it any more.

will christina's copy of our photo, taken when we are out, be in that state of being thrown away? Or will it be something that brings back memories of times we spent together when we are not beside one another one day? That i dunno.

Tired Saturday



Today is the most tiring Saturday I have spent. I was up early in the morning and I'm out till now. Burnt out. haha.. But its a happy burnt out. Went to take neo print again with Chris. Took some more pictures with mobile phones. Watch a boring movie today " Vanity Fair", was kind of suffering in the cinema. Movie was long and profound. Though it's interesting in its way, I don't understand what they are talking half the time with their law equivalent English. Hope next week is a wonderful week like the past three weeks with the return of my work mate from Taiwan. haha.. Praying hard I get to go to the place I want to be in.
