the cupid- handmade in july 2012

remember a movie named "pay it forward" in year 2000?
a boy trying to make the world a better place after being given chance by his teacher.

"pay it forward" 

"pay it forward"

and now, what have happened to our world?
even the friends around you? everybody is hugging themselves and plenty being left out.
where is the trust? where is the love?
where is the feeling of secure inside everyone?

happy weekend my dear.
you're not alone.
hugs and kisses to everyone.

christmas in july

imagine,
when the wool is no longer an ordinary shawl around your neck or sweater on your body?

lasan by michael kiwanuka

"just you live your everyday, like you're running out of time.
 say the thing you say, don't leave everything behind.
 try to find new somethings that won't fade away in time,
 these are things i'll always see on your side."

better half

going into the second half of 2012.
a change, a transform, a twist, a new page, a stay on...that might bring you to plenty of uncertainty, insecure or restless + impatience.
not to worry too much, calm yourself down, plan, be the true you, have faith and believe in yourself.
a new door  is opening up to bring you to a better half and brand new exciting journey.
