Beautiful

"If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song.


You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.


Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads. Or better yet, date a girl who writes."

Dreams. It is my every day affair.

Day dreams, night ones; my head creates different stories, adventures, beautiful things. I dream about baking lovely food, about exploring places faraway, about creating art in different forms.

And today, I dream mostly about travelling to places. After reading blogs about life in new york, I want to be there for awhile, to visit especially the Brooklyn Art Library. It seems like the very place for me. Brooklyn, oh Brooklyn. Seems so very far. But I believe, I will get there one day.

Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon, wait up. I am coming for you too.

June Challenges on Scrap with V!

Yesterday I pretty much had a meltdown mentally & emotionally, due to work and all the itty bitty insignificant things.

This morning, I woke up feeling the aftermath of yesterday's meltdown but recovered from it a little, keeping my head clear of those unhappy things. Whatever that has happen will not put a damper on my weekends, it just isn't worth it.

I am going to catch Snow White & the Huntsman today to put my mind at some rest. Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth; two of my favourites in the same movie, a must watch.

Apart from my gibberish above, heh, sharing 2 layouts for June'sketch challenge & inspiration challenge on Scrap with V's blog.

It has only just started so if you want to win yourself some prizes and have your layouts shared on the blog, please send your entries to scrapbookkitswithjules@gmail.com.

some kind of dream.

So just yesterday, I ask my better half this question "If given a choice, would you like to move to Australia and live there?"

I do not know what he was thinking then or if he had an answer to that but for myself, I want to if I could and if he wanted to.

I know, some may doubt if I could get used to a new life, a new culture. I feel like I could use a good change, a new adventure sometime, maybe now.

Do you ever get the feeling that you belong somewhere else, just not here. Yes, I get that feeling a lot.

It is some sort of a dream now, but just like what Rachel said to me, keep that dream alive. I will keep that dream alive alright, you betcha. (:
