Song of Soraya

July 12, 2009

“He got rid of me.”
And the ceremony started.
Like a bride in her dress,
White as snow and pure as gold,
Her ring she gave to the eldest daughter
And her love for all of them.

Why bother to dig a hole on the ground?
It’s not like she has anywhere else to go.
The first stone was cast by the one who brought her up,
missed by a feet.
Still the second didn’t make it
so was the third.

“She is innocent! It’s a sign from God.” one said,
but immediately she was struck by the bone of her bones, flesh of her flesh.
Her dress turned red like crimson,
the sky started spinning above her head.

Maybe it’s better this way
So she can’t make out it was the ones who she gave birth struck her next, or the chaotic crowd.
There’s no more fear, no more expectation, no more uncertainty.
In Him she committed her spirit,
for she still has hope in Him.
The love in her will not fail.

Star Trek 2009

June 7, 2009

It’s been a while hasn’t watched a good movie, this is definitely worth the $$! The story line, action scenes, and casting are just right, draws me into the movie even though I was never a fan of Star Trek, or ever watched a Star Trek episode in full!

My favourite quote of the movie is the conversation between the old Spock and the young Spock:

Spock: Because you needed each other. I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.
Spock: How did you persuade him to keep your secret?
Spock: He inferred that universe-ending paradoxes would ensue should he break his promise…
Spock: You lied?
Spock: Ah… I – I implied.
Spock: A gamble.
Spock: An act of faith. One I hope that you will repeat in your future in Starfleet.
Spock: In the face of extinction, it is only logical that I resign my Starfleet commission and help rebuild our race…
Spock: And, yet, you can be in two places at once. I urge you to remain in Starfleet. I have already located a suitable planet in which to establish a Vulcan colony. Spock, in this case, do yourself a favor: Put aside logic. Do what feels right.
[Spock Prime turns and leaves]
Spock: Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say…
[Shows Vulcan hand salute]
Spock: Good luck.
