Oh Romeo


Juliet: And when I shall die, take him and cut him up in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun. 
 -Romeo And Juliet [1996]

The Divine Sisterhood


"We are the flames of the fires, the whirling of the winds. We are the waters of the rains and the rivers and the oceans. We are the rocks and the stones. And now by the power invested in me, I declare we are the mighty Ya-Ya priestesses. Let no man put us under. Now our blood flows through each other as it's done for all eternity. Loyal forever. We raise our voices in the words of Mumbo Gumbo... YA-YA!"
-Little Vivi, The Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood


Rooonaaah and I recently exchanged gifts. I was so ashamed of what I had given her - a keychain that anyone-could-have-the-chance-to-know-the-price! Likewise, she gave me a card. Yes, a handmade card, and it's NOT just a card you could see in hallmark sections because she had put on her effort on it. It's so lovely. I wish I could just melt in my seat and vanish in this world.

P.S. I would like to thank kitkit avenue for lending me Paulo Coelho's book. I'll promise to pass it to any other person.

Centipede: We're not lost.
Grasshopper: Then where are we?
Centipede: Somewhere up north. Or, possibly, very far south.
Geasshopper: What's your latitude? What's your longitude?
Centipede: Hey, hey, hey! That's personal, bud!

 I found Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach in a thrift book shop yesterday with a friend, and believe me, it only cost me 15 Pesos to own it. I'm still reading the book hitherto. Anyway, I want to share some lovely posts from lovely bloggers this week.

Matilda


Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse.
{Matilda 1996}


P.S. I need more inspiration. Please give me some.
