Dear Randy Pausch,
I know it is too late to write a letter for you. And I know, you will never read this letter that I wrote. You might be now somewhere only God and you - yourself knew. But I could not hold my hand to type these word by word to express my feeling and my gratitude how blessed I am by your book. Your books has been being my friend in this week. I understand your purpose to bless others as much as possible with your life - I am sure you accomplish it, you just add one person, and it is me.
I thank God for letting me read your book, thank God for letting you finish this book. You teach me about the bricks in front of me now. You tell me that the bricks are not to make us do not see things what we want to get, the bricks are to show us how bad we want the things. You tell me to not give up on our childhood dreams and how you work with it.
What I really love about your book is you. Instead of writing wisdom words, I love your way when you show that you do not let your pancreatic cancer -your 3-6 month left living- is not steal your spirit to leave. You teach me to treat the disease not the symptom. You show me that we never accomplish our success by our own self. It is need others. And recognize their kindness is a part of our successful journey.
Thank you, Randy Pausch, for help me to see my self through your perspective of living. And you close your book with the statement that I need the most this time.
"It's not achieve your dreams. It's about to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."
For right now I failed to achieve some of dreams, and dying with them, I almost have no courage to live my life again. But I need to die with the memories, not me, not the dreams. I have to stand up again. Lead my life right way, and God will take care the whole things. The dreams will come to me.
Dear Jai and the children,
Jai, you surely have a very incredible husband. Dylan, Logan, Chloe, you all are winning the parent lottery, just like your dad had. I pray for each of you, you can be what you want to be, just like Randy wish for you all. I really would like to meet you all and talk about something meaningful life to encourage people to live their life - to be what they are want to be.
Dear Jeffrey Zaslow,
You are the best!
With all my respect to your family,
Cynthia Eveline

Have a little faith by Mitch Albom
"Where there is a sweet, there is an ant.", said one of my friends looking at me staring and take steps at a book corner.
There is not really many books there, I had once take a book from it but not finish read it... give up maybe? So I return it, and try to find another book.
Have a little faith finally got my attention because of the title. My mind asking a question. Why just a little? Then I look the back cover and interested! It is say "As is often the case with faith, i thought I was being asked a favor. Actually, I was being given one..."
The contradiction on that sentences made me decided to read that book.
I am as not a fast reader, can proudly finish the book on 7 days. lol.
Have a little faith is biography of two people with very different background. Micth Albom can combine it perfectly. I love his writing skill. Easy yet deep.
Have a little faith teach me the secret of happiness and how faith woks. It teach me also how to appreciate others people's life, choice, anything that different from us because everyone is unique and our knowledge is limited. And it need faith to believe that every diversity brings goodness in God's masterpiece of life.
And the answer of my question: Why just a little faith?
Faith is necessarily needed in our daily life. No matter how small or how big faith is. Faith is faith. And faith really do something in our life.
The book is worth to read. And recommended!

A time traveler's wife
Today I'm gonna share about the book that I've just been read. It's "a time traveler's wife'. I borrowed it from Aloi. Hihihi.. Thank you, Aloi. I will fullfill my promise to cover up your book with plastic when I return it to you.
For me the story is not really fantastic, but that's not bad. Fully imagination. I'm not gonna tell you what the story about. I'm sure there's a lot of review about this book. You can find it in another site.. xP
What I'm gonna write is qoute from that book that nice, emotionally, and some romantic words.. hohoho..
"It’s hard to be the one who stays. I keep myself busy. Time goes faster that way. I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I’m tired. Everything seems simple until you think about it.Why is love intensified by absence?"
“You still haven’t proved you’re real,” Clare says.“Neither have you.”“Do you ever wonder if I’m real?” she asks me, surprised.“Maybe I’m dreaming you. Maybe you’re dreaming me; maybe we only exist in each other’s dreams and every morning when we wake up we forget all about each other.”
I don’t understand what just happened. That is, I understand but I don’t know what should I do about it“
But you make me happy. It’s living up to being happy that’s the difficult part.”
It’s so hard to stay mad at her when she is my familiar, lovely mama.
I try to keep the pleading out of my voice, to keep the anger that rises up in my throat from spilling into my words.
“Clare.”
“Henry.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Me too.”
