Experience
which is just a euphemism for heartache and heartbreak, failed love and false promises, for every time you told yourself ‘This is the real thing’ and ‘Finally I’ve found my way home’ only to end up lost in a muck or lying across rickety train tracks, praying for deliverance and not knowing if that would mean getting run over or being spared; ‘experience,’ which is a neutral word that most people...

It’s so easy to pick on others and make fun of their mistakes, but when you do, make sure you are incapable of committing the same mistakes. You might end up looking more ridiculous than the one you made fun of. :)

Choco-almond Muffins Monday.
I just made a good batch of choco-almond muffins and damn it feels good to do something I like again. It sure has been a while, what with 10-12 hours a day of work and Sunday review classes. Not to mention killer headaches!
I would have shared a pic or two of my latest creation, my new pair of glasses and our dog who’s turning 6-months old, but my camera finally gave up on me. After years...

I'm losing weight.
Although a lot of people might find this to be a cause to celebrate, to me it means otherwise. I’m already too skinny for my own good and to lose weight would be really unhealthy. I don’t want to walk around looking like a corpse!
I need a lifestyle change. Stat.

We all need someone to look at us.
We can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under. The first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public. The second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. They are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners. They are happier than the...

Romeo + Juliet
Romeo Montague: If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this. My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
Juliet Capulet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this. For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
Romeo Montague: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers, too?
Juliet Capulet: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
Romeo Montague: Well, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Juliet Capulet: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
Romeo Montague: Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Romeo Montague: [They kiss] Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged.
Juliet Capulet: Then have my lips the sin that they have took?
Romeo Montague: Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.
Juliet Capulet: [they kiss again] You kiss by the book.
