on love and friendship

Love comes from blindness, friendship from knowledge. -Bussy-Rabutin, Comte De
Love that comes from friendship though cannot be blind. Love that comes from friendship is deep and thoughtful, romantic and incredibly special; knowledge and friendship spice up love in a multitude of ways.

Long-strapped from Vogue

I sincerely like long-strapped bags because I can wear them across my body and not worry that the strap slides on my shoulder. This season they’re very trendy and Vogues likes to praise the style. Read more here.

“One of the best places for this kind of bag is at a concert,” saysVogue Fashion Writer Jane [...]

Friday Fill-Ins

A weekly meme hosted by Janet at Friday Fill-Ins
1. The crickets sing, winter is coming.
2. I am thinking of you, wherever you are.
3. I want to get far away from the noise and pollution.
4. Learning to play the guitar; this was a dream.
5. But as for me I am not always so cheerful as people believe me to be.
6. Many [...]

what I’ve been up to this fall

Maybe many of my friends and acquaintances have been wandering. I have kept many in the dark about details or flashes of stories. I’ve been enjoying fall, though under a circumspect load of actions on my part, incessant ideas and longing for new adventures abroad. I’m getting along with my thesis and it’s going great. [...]

direction of sense

Surprisingly so, I secretly didn’t want to go to Norway for one year. It would have been totally against my/our sought-out plans. It might have indeed complicated matters and have led to a development of novel situations and exceedingly unnerving feelings. I’m not going there. And it is good to know and get my mind [...]

[my] dress

I call it MINE.
It is a beautiful Ann Taylor dress, with simple folds and stylish appearance. And oh the color. I got it in my reader feed from a website called The bridal wishlist. But this is dress can be perfectly suited for let’s say a New Year’s party.
I love it. I had to post [...]

heart at work

Lately I seem to get inspired mostly by photos. My writings tend to become either deep self-reflections or muddily excited rants. Defining thus my constant state of apprehension for things to come, while deciding to stay firmly put and still focus on what’s happening right here/there, right now.
So to say, I have my heart at work to [...]

Blog Action Day 2009 [Oct 15]

I thought a lot about Climate Change and campaigns, sometimes being sceptical about the efficiency of word-of-mouth communication and awareness vs. real actions. There are many campaigns and they are to be applauded and supported. The end goal though is for each of these movements to trigger something in people’s behaviour: a sense of community [...]

meme not, love do

“Love as if your heart isn’t fragile.”

Love quotes ring a tune in my mind, somehow teasing me to free thinking and borderless  choco spread on my morning pancake. Not as if I have pancakes every morning. That would be too much self-indulging for the month of October, at least. :)
I was pondering on whether to [...]

(non-)magical novelties

There’s a lot of over writing, cover writing, extra writing, copy writing..
The amount of information makes it challenging for “the new” to be expressed through words. So many flaunted apprehensions, so many beliefs in reiterations.
In my mind something new is evolving, to become magic. Actually magic is overrated. I prefer simplicity and witty logos. For [...]

^_^ because [she] is not me, but I’d like to be [her] because [she] can change style and shoes whenever. And [she]’s illustrated.

back in time with perfume

“Scent can bring back more emotionally intense and evocative memories than other senses, like sight or touch. You feel transported to the time and the place,” says Rachel S. Herz, Ph. D., a visiting professor of psychiatry and human behavior and psychology at Brown University and the author of The Scent of Desire.

Who hasn’t experienced this? [...]
