Once Again Friendship, Loyalty and Faith Touch My Feeling

While Waiting for my favourite show 1 night 2 Days…I just play around with the TV Remote..finally, the movie that was aired in HBO Channel attract my attention. The synopsis is interesting so I decide to watched it. Nice story with nice music background. During the last one hour, I start to look for tissue. So sad and automatically I cry although the characters in the movie not crying. At the end of the movie, it turns out that this movie was based on the true story about a dog named Hachi

Movie Summary

An Akita puppy followed a professor went back to his house. At first, the professor and his family don’t want to take this puppy but then they adopted it as part of their family. The puppy develops a strong relationship with the professor. Every Morning he follows his master to the station ( in the better human word, sent him off to work), then every evening he waited for his master. Everyone at the nearby area amaze with their relationship and it already a norm for them watching that dog waiting for his master. But then, one day, his master died and that the starting point that make me cry (even when typing this I also feel like crying-already cry). Hachi waited for him at the station until the last train but his master never returned. After his master death, the daughter take an ownership to take care of Hachi but then later she let Hachi decide by himself what should he do. It turned out that Hachi went to the station and wait for the master until the last train. Thanks to the neighborhood and the passerby for feed him and look after him. His story becomes popular. For 9 years he waited for his master to returned until he become an old dog but still waiting for his master. (at this moment of time, I feel a bit angry, why don’t anyone bring him to his master grave and showed it to him that his master already died. But then, when I think logically, he just a dog. His not an human that will easily understand all the thing. The only thing he understand is he sent off his master to the station in the morning and he never returned.) During the last moment of Hachi life, he dreamt that he met his master and his master asked him to follow him (this part makes me feel release because finally he died. Not because am happy his dying but I can’t take to cry anymore seeing his suffered waiting for his master to return.)

TRUE STORY

At the end of the story, I found out that this is based on true story happened in Japan. The Japanese people also installed a statue in front of the Shibuya Station as a symbol of the loyalty of the dog towards its owner.

Hachiko was brought to Tokyo in 1924 by Professor named Hidesamuro Ueno. Every morning, he will sent off his master and wait for him to came home at 4 o’clock everyday. When his master died, he still faithfully waiting for him at the same time everyday with hope that his master will come back and this last for 9 years. Finally he died in 1935. What a great relationship

MY SUMMARY

This story make me thing and started asking myself (another deep thinking activity). How long would people able to wait if their loved one didn’t come back one day? One thing for sure, as a normal human being, people will think that that person probably run away from them. After watched the movie, I straight away called my home and told them that I miss home. Then I started to think about my friend and how much I miss all of them.

Can I be this loyal and faithful? Hachi just a dog and his doing great job as man best friend. And I am a human and know how to think. But, up to this time, I am still loyal with all people that I care of. Thanks Hachi for such an inspiring character.

1 NIGHT 2 DAYS

After one hour crying (no tissue so I use towel to wipe off my tears-luckily watched the movie alone), its time for me to have a light entertainment. My favourite show was on the air. This time the episode is the second part of the Foreign worker special. So sweet seeing all the MC take care their new friend and concerned about their religion and customs. If Hachiko movie shared about the loved between human and animal, this show shared how unique the thing called friendship. Only those who believed and understand the rules of friendship will experienced the happy moment. They didn’t even know each other + come from different country with different language + different religion & belief but still they manage to get along together. So sweet.

That is not the thing that I want to highlight here. This show causes me to think about curry chicken. I think, the last time I ate curry chicken was early December 2010 when I went off for holiday in my hometown. Miss curry chicken. After the show finished, I checked my kitchen. There got chicken in the fridge, they got curry, got coconut milk, and all the ingredient for the chicken curry are available there except the potato. But, its not a big deal since potato is just an additional. So, my Saturday lunch will be a chicken curry. Hehehehe.

Think, should stop here coz as I said, I love myself very much and my fingers already told me its already tired. Thanks to my typing partner for today. OST From the Movie Hachiko. That make me more sad.

What is FRIEND?

When mention about FRIENDS,everyone start to think about their friend.Some of them might also start to count how many friend they have since their childhood time.Everyone must have friend at least one in their entire life.Sometimes I asked myself, did I really understand what is the meaning of FRIEND?Do I really have a good FRIENDSHIP with my friends?Why people need friend in their life? why we being a friend for so many people at the same time? what is the real rules in friendship?All these question comes into my mind.

Why I choose to post this topic? Because sometimes I don't know what to do and when I don't know what to do, I alway think about this kind of silly question.SometimesI asked myself,why should I care about all those thing.Even sometimes I really crazy and I asked myself,who is the first person who introduced "A,B,C" AS a letter,who is the first personthat introduced the number, who is the first person that tell the others that the 'tree' is the tree, etc...But it is not wrong to create curiosity in our mind right.Anyway, lets go back to the main topic that is FRIEND.Because I love to visit my "Uncle Google", I asked "him" to explain me the meaning of FRIEND.Below here I attached some meaning that attract my attention that can be shared with everyone.
