女人长大还是要嫁

Oddly, in this past month, I've heard this line more than 4 times.

And each time it strikes me that it's just not on my plate. Maybe five years down I'll be pinning to get married. But right now the words marriage, children, boyfriend, are just not important to me. Right now they have no value.

It's okay, everyone has their different priorities.




Also, have rediscovered my love for bicycle riding. Had an awesome afternoon just speeding my way through ECP. I'm definitely going to do it again before I start working.

Run away with me to the place of dreams.




























If I could, I would wish for all my friends to forever have something to smile about. Because it brightens my day to see them smile. Smile like the wind can take you away.

One day, it will be a beautiful day again.

Japan is really pretty. No, really.


Flowers are my point here, but there is no harm in starting the post with a nyaan-chan.

These pretty babies be the size of my palm.

A handfull of Shibu Sakura, Sakura that grows on the grown. Quite possibly my favourite flower.

Pretty things which look like blue Shiba Sakura (which to my knowledge exists in white pink and purple).

A field of purple Shiba Sakura. It's like a dream.

What does it mean to be blood relatives?

Yes, I am being selfish.




To be honest I don't know you and don't know me.

The kids of tomorrow do not stand a chance.

"Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity...Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend."

- Andrew Futral

All my friends know this. I hate the Twilight series so much. The movies are bad and the books are the worst thing of print history. It has no plot, 2D flat characters and the writing is atrocious. I'm not being a grammar nazi or book snob here, but it's a really bad book. And I have tried reading it.

I guess I'm at the age where I wonder about having kids. And if I ever become a mother (however unlikely XD) I wonder about how I'll bring my kids up. At this point in my life, I can see clearly how my mother has damaged me, but has also shaped me to whatever I am now, the parts I'm ashamed and proud off. It kills me to think that my kids may end up reading Twilight instead of books with actual proper writing.

Reading was a large part of my childhood and till this day I love to read. I love losing myself in a good book, anytime, even today. It pains me that some people will grow up not knowing the best most simple books but know the entire cast of Twilight and how much hairspray the Robert P guy has.




"I live in two worlds. One is a world of books. I've been a resident of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karenina, and strolled down Swann's Way. It's a rewarding world, but my second one is by far superior. My second one is populated with characters slightly less eccentric but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, who are my ultimate inspiration for everything."
