Tale of a pencil and eraser.

I stumbled upon this today;


Pencil: I'm sorry

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you throughout your life. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

They said parents are like an eraser while the children are the pencil.
When we make mistakes, they try to clean up the mistakes and along the way, as they get older, they get hurt, and become smaller.

It might be true but still, the metaphor is incomparable.
Sure, parents do clean up some mistakes that we did but sometimes as we get older, they choose to let us clean up the mess we make ourselves 'cos that is how we learn life, unlike the eraser that able to rubbed off every single mistake made by the pencil. And unlike pencil , mistakes we make have their consequences and sometimes, no matter how hard we rubbed it off, or cleaned it up with/without parents or others help, it's just never go away.
Sometimes what left is us, the mistakes and the regrets. And sometimes all we can do is to move on. Plus, we do replace eraser but we don't replace parents. =P

Muse

A constant reader of this blog might come to realize that whenever I come home, I'll have this habit to watched and read all my fav stuff over and over again. I mean I watched prince of tennis all 178 ep not include the ova and all dah berpuluh2 kali, I read Syud's several times sampai boleh hafal the dialogue, I watched P&P hundredth time and fall for Darcy over and over again. So this time? I decided to watch honey and clover. Well, again! And again, I'm falling in love. I really do love this anime eh? Sad and lonely, and have this sense of bitter-sweet. I watch the Hagu+Morita and I do wonder, whether they do love each other or they just attracted to each other 'cos they are kind of similar. 'Cos we, people, we tend to like someone yg kita rs similar dgn diri kita sendiri kan? But is it really a good thing? I mean same pieces of puzzles never fit each other. And for another love story, the Nomiya-Yamada-Mayama-Rika-Harada; well, they kind of in a straight li...

I'm not the kind of person who actually made resolutions for new year. I mean sure I'll have this desire to be more this and less that, but overall I still am the same as I am on 1 Jan as I am on 31 Dec. So, it is also the same on this 2011/2012. I'll still wake up tomorrow morning *if I do wake up* , bathing and preparing to go to the morning lecture, then I'll listen for half an hour before I start wandering around in my mind or trying to make sure my eyes are still open. I'll still busying myself with lab and practicals, and I definitely will still be worrying about how to finished all the lecture notes. I mean I was in this phase for 1 and half year, and I'll be in this state for months more. It ain't go away or be different. Not until the pro exam. New year = New me Who am I kidding? I will be the same Loving the same boy who doesn't love me back. Doing the same mistake over and over again. And still hoping for a good year. -makemestfu- So? Will my ...
