Random Paragraph #2

A good book will lure you into its trap of words. Where you feed on sentence upon sentence --dot to dot, paragraph to paragraph. Refusing to put it down and longing to pick it up again as soon as you did. Yearning to come home to it like a longing to see your lover.

Latte Wisdom #1

As you grow older, you realize a "hunch" may not be just a hunch, but a memo from your experience.

It's nice to have something to look forward to, no matter how fragile or temporary it is.

When bad things happen to good people, it doesn't just "happen for a reason". It's just the B* (life) throwing sh*t at you. And that's that. If I see the perpetrator got hit by a lighting, then I'll admit there's a "hikmah" behind it. Wanna preach me about "hikmah"? Get me a bus so I can run over the asshole. We'll talk then.

Letter for the Old and New

Dear 2011,

You came along with lots of changes; small and big, good and bad. You've granted some of my wish from 2010 and even more. I traveled a lot, mostly to familiar places, but the highlight was the opportunity to finally see and experience bits of Europe. So yeah, you've been AMAZING. Thank you.


Dear 2012,

So I heard that you'll be rough around the edges for me. But oh well, I'll just have to keep calm and eat more cupcakes -while having more coffee or martini in between. I do hope traveling opportunities will still be present as this small wanderlust needs to be fed. Fingers crossed, I look forward to more positive things to come.


Sincerely,
Me

Random Paragraph #1

The soft murmur of morning mist, caressing the trees delicately like a loving mother. Bringing with its touch the morning dew, pure and clear --glistening in the sun like diamond dust.

Someday. Soon.

Someday, I'll get lost between the alleys and canals of Venice
or run across the glorious lavender fields in Provence.

Someday, I'll stumble across fresh produces in the markets of Paris
and smell the colorful spices in the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul.

Someday, I'll savor street foods in Djemma el Fna, Marrakech
and walk across the white-washed buildings of Santorini.

Someday, I'll sit in silence under the Northern Lights in Iceland
or have a picnic under blooming cherry blossom trees in Kyoto.

Someday. One day soon, I shall see many places.
=)
