I want my life to be a work of art.

The commonplace may be understood as a reduction of the exceptional, but the exceptional cannot be understood by magnifying the commonplace.

“Life goes on as it never ends Eyes of stone observe the trends They never say forever gaze upon me Guilty roads to an endless love There’s no control, are you with me now?” Finally find a song that fits this book perfectly… Oh depressing!

“Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze upon me
Guilty roads to an endless love
There’s no control, are you with me now?”
Finally find a song that fits this book perfectly… Oh depressing!

Death really did not matter to him but life did, and therefore the sensation he felt when they gave their decision was not a feeling of fear but of nostalgia.

Book Confessions >_<

Book Confessions

1. To mark your page you: use a bookmark, bend the page corner, leave the book open face down?

I use a bookmark that says “Keep calm and carry on”! 

2. Do you lend your books?

To some people, very few. Seeing people holding my books is like seeing your boy friend cheating on you… lol 

3. You find an interesting passage: you write in your book or NO WRITING IN BOOKS!

NO WRITING IN BOOKS. I write it down on my journal instead.

4. Dust jackets – leave it on or take it off.

I have it out when I read, but after that I put it back in. 

5. Hard cover, paperback, skip it and get the audio book?

I prefer hard cover but paperback is still cool for me. Audio book is horrible, don’t even think about it!

6. Do you shelve your books by subject, author, or size and color of the book spines?

I shelve them as I please. 

7. Buy it or borrow it from the library later?

Since I travel from place to place, it’s easier for me to borrow because books are heavy. Both new book and library book has its own flavor. 

8. Do you put your name on your books – scribble your name in the cover, fancy bookplate, or stamp?

I put my name and the day I got the book on the very first page. 

9. Most of the books you own are rare and out-of-print books or recent publications?

Both. 

10. Page edges – deckled or straight?

Straight. 

12. Be honest, ever tear a page from a book?

No, never will… 

Vietnamese food!!!!! >_<

He dug so deeply into her sentiments that in search of interest he found love, because by trying to make her love him he ended up falling in love with her.
