Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz


Hi, 

Some may not get the meaning behind the picture above. Actually it was made as a reference to this concept of finding 'the one' in HIMYM - if I'm not mistaken, it was in S08E01. 

Making references to movies is the essence of modern-day pop culture be it jokes, puns, life philosophy and everything under the sun and the 'supplier' of these so-called references (one of them, that is) would be tv shows such as sitcoms; as this entry is referring to himym. 

To dwell on that topic would require a post of its own...and yeah, let's just put it on hold dulu ye? 

A gist of the show: Himym follows the journey of Ted Mosby, trying to find his true love aka 'the one' with his bizarre group of friends. Along the way, they went through a lot of adventures which is self-explanatory as to why the show lasted for 9 seasons....yada yada yada xD 

Both of the German words above (yes they're German) refers to the two possibilities that you'll encounter when you've found or thought that you've found 'The One' aka your soul mate. 

Beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand [the french blue horn] : Well, that was a mouthful! Ok, this one refers to the one that we feel like, "woahh I think she's the one, lah!" But actually she's not. It is, as depicted in the picture as 'The thing that is almost the thing you want, but not quite'. It is a feeling based on instinct. You don't have to think about it...instead, you have to feel it in your heart. 

Lebenslangerschicksalsshatz [yellow umbrella] : (in reference to the instinct that you feel when you've found 'the one' yang truly the one lah kan. Hence, 'it') - "Is not sth that develops over time. It's sth that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you all at once. You feel it throughout your body, in your hands, in your heart, in your stomach, in your skin". 

As for now, I believe that I've found my yellow umbrella 'cos my heart (omg bapak cheesy) told me so *winks* ;) 

That's all from me..for now.
