Last weekend, my partner and I decided to watch Kung Fu Panda 2. Initially, we were thinking of watching "In the Name of Love" but due to the sad events last week, we decided to see the hit animated flick instead. After all, we love the first franchise too. As expected, I forgot all about my sadness for 1 1/2 hours! There's really just one word to describe it: AWESOMENESS! The storyline is good, the actions scenes are exciting and the dialogs are really hilarious! Po really made me laugh real hard again! With the added 3D feature, the movie's really a must-see!

One thing that I loved about the movie is its take on inner peace by letting go of the past. People who are dear and close to me know so well that I'm such a wallower. No matter how things seem perfect and how happy I am, I always have the tendency to look backwards and savor the painful events in the past. Very often these days, after my baby pup's death, I have looked back specifically into that time in the past when I did a lot of mistakes. This just shows me that I haven't forgiven myself completely yet and that I haven't fully come to terms with what I have done. So, while watching the movie, Po's line--"You've got to let go of that stuff from the past because it just doesn't matter . The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now"-- really struck me. Yeah, he's right. Everyone around me's right. Past is past. Everyone has his or her own past and we cannot change it! We must let go of it completely to fully enjoy the present and embrace the future. =)
Hence, I have to really work on letting go. It's what I really need to do to experience inner peace. And who knows? I might just save a country or millions of lives! Awesomeness. =)
