My old man and my younger brother have not always seen eye to eye. Maybe it’s because my brother is in his teen years and we all know that’s a difficult stage. This is the age when we get rebellious and do the exact opposite of what our parents tell us, for the purpose of riling them. However, if you put those two together inside a billiard hall, you won’t see a father and son but two buddies of the same age instead. I have seen how they bonded and how close they have gotten because of their mutual love for the game. They go to billiard tournaments together and when my brother won his first championship at the district playoffs; my dad’s face shone with so much pride and joy as if he won the match himself. Those were really good times.

When I get homesick and I miss them, I play the online pool. I’m not very good at the actual game but I can give anyone a run for their money with the online version. As a matter of fact, I have beaten my brother twice already.

I’m sure you all remember how cute Joshua Jackson was as a kid when he played one of the characters in the “Mighty Ducks” movie. If you have not seen this classic. I’m sure you will at least think that the title sounds familiar. It’s one of those inspiring movies that show how the right reasons, faith, teamwork, love, etc..can make dreams come true. There’s this line that I really like and I’ll share a snippet.

I remember when I got into a cash emergency and what it felt like. A friend consoled me and said that everyone gets to face their zero hour at some point in their lives. I was not literally zero but I needed more than what I got inside my wallet and payday was still in two weeks. It is during these times that Personal loans become life savers. I applied, got approved in no time and went to withdraw the cash at the nearest ATM. The convenience is fantastic!
