Happy Birthday Sweety!

Sorry I can't be there with you today, but I do hope you have a fantabulous day and hopefully the presents will arrive any minute now.....*fingers crossed*! *Muah*

Few things I read and enjoy...

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you are all gorging yourselves on chocolate eggs.. if not, WHY NOT?! Shame on you for making me feel bad!

Recently few people have been asking what I read when I do my usual intarnet rounds, so here's a small selection... don't worry, I left out the real geeky ones that only few will find amusing. Click away!

Belle De Jour - diary a former London Call Girl, now published into couple of books and apparently soon to be a TV series... It's not so interesting now as I am sure she's bound by contracts and need new materials for a 3rd book, but do go back into her archives and have a giggle.

My Boring Ass Life - blog by the famous director Kevin Smith. Love his movies, enjoy his blog.

Click Opera - blog by Nick a.k.a. Momus. Intellectual, funny and sometimes rather perverted.

Reluct & PingMag - for my design and architectural needs.

Jedible - A blog on Japanese snacks, and food by a guy called Fapuchan. This is a fairly new blog and a new discovery for me.

And last but not least.... Swaydo! A site for a magazine my friends started up... yes, this is a shameless plug for them! :)

Wish I was there

In no particular order,

1. 9-11.

2. The fall of the Berlin Wall.

3. Nirvana headlining the Reading festival 1992.

4. Any one of Jeff Buckley's performances at Sin-é.

I guess they were all powerful moments where everyone around you would be feeling the exact same intense emotions... the atmosphere must have been amazing!

New relationships

When you are old enough and have been through enough relationships, you would like to think that you can separate the good from the bad. See the special ones coming and grab it with both hands. The thing with relationships is that, it is often rare for both to feel exactly the same way about each other... you are both attracted to each other of course, but one may be think of it more like a fling, where as the other may think of it as a long term thing. It is oh so rare to find that someone who treasures you as much as you cherish them...

Unfortunately, even when you find that someone and knows that he or she is special, because what you have see and been through... it might be exactly that (both of your past/history) that's stopping the relationship from proceeding. Both of you have been badly hurt, and none of you want to go through all that pain again. How do you continue from there? Both of you want it so much, but are afraid to get burnt... Yes, it requires that leap of faith... both of you need to make the jump together and believe that the other person won't hurt you and let you fall.

Well, I am standing at the cliff edge, with my arms stretched out...ready to make the leap.... will he take my hands and jump with me?
