This is a Non Fiction, Inspirational and full of Humor kind of book.

On the book cover: Humbert mania swept the Paris press when the scandal eventually broke in 1902: Here Therese, with her elegant younger sister Maria, is greeted by the trial judge disguised as a cabaret host: "Well, Madame Humbert, have you any news of the good Monsieur Crawfraud?" (Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, all rights reserved; photo by Jean-Loup Charmet, Paris) La Grande Therese: The Greatest Scandal Of The Century by Hilary Spurling . It was published on June 1, 2000. A Non-fiction, biography and history book that seems like a novella, but it's all facts. Therese Daurignac (her maiden name) was a peasant girl who lived in Languedoc, south of France. According to the author, there was nothing special about her except her power of imagination which led her to an elegant life later on but only lasted for years. "When Therese was small, she invented palaces for her siblings to live in, and once she was grown up, her castles in the air cam...

On a starry night, there are something more familiar than the moon and among the billions of stars. Those three stars aligned called as the Orion's belt. I am not trying to sound geeky but this could be our love story. I am always fascinated by it -- the only stars, I know, that are (kind of) perfectly straight. They never fail to amuse me by their constant twinkling. Thick red clouds may cover my view but I know they are there shining red, yellow and blue. Light years away yet they are still visible. Just like us, although thousands of miles apart, our love is still accessible. I can see you, but I can't feel you; that makes me sad, bluer than blue. The Orion's belt reminds me that you are never going away and soon we will be together starting on March, April or May. This is our love story but I hope the story changes with love being the same. Looking forward to a story which lands in another place. If it's possible, in between us, there will be...

My first croissant, I believe, didn't taste good. But that won't stop me from dreaming to be in this lovely place. France, one of the places I want to visit someday, is a place that exists only in my mind yet. I wish I could just buy a cheap ticket to be there anytime. If only these photos of France that I have in my memory will serve as my passes to just be in it. I'll eat more croissant and other breads when I'm there. And I'll take photos in every places I go and just fall in love.

Hi . This is my first time to write something on my blog for this year. All those posts since January we're written last year and just posted on queue. I thought that I could write something in the early weeks of January. I thought that I could write something about the holidays -- how it went, how fun it was. But then I, obviously, did not. I could not. Sometimes I'm just running out of words. And sometimes I don't know how to express how I feel. But here I am. I'm writing again. Life has been good to me lately. Although most of the time I am sad because of this and that. But overall, when I look back since day one of this year, it has been good to me. Some things and habits don't change even if I force to change it. Maybe I should slow down at stopping instead of doing it suddenly. The problem is I'm poor at always reminding myself. I'll work on it. I have written resolutions for this year. Aside from the too personal goals, I have decided t...

I am a fan of fruit and flower scents but most of the stuff I bought these past few years don't last longer than Tresor de Lancome. It's apricot-tinged rose scent lasts for a whole day even when I'm outside. Although some people don't like its smell, I like it because, honestly, I think it smells very mature for me.  Even when you're too caught up with work and other things, its scent just *pops up* randomly which reminds you that you still feel good despite the workload. The loveliness of this fragrance just keeps me in the mood for work.

Last December, I received two lovely handmade postcards from Rochelle and Aya! Thank you to April of Design of Artisan for hosting this awesome handmade postcard swap! :) Hi, Aya! I enjoyed looking at your postcard. It looks fun! It definitely made me smile. Those flowers with different center pieces are adorable. Thank you! :) Hello, Rochelle! Thank you for your postcard. It looks elegant to me (maybe because of its colors). I love the stamps at the back as well. Thank you very much! ;)

So excited to see the first ripe bell pepper we have at home! It's my first time to plant bell peppers and I'm very happy that it has grown healthy. I can still remember the time I threw some seeds in the pot and after 6 months, it started to flower. There's nothing more exciting than to see our little garden growing. :)

An excerpt of the letter I sent to my high school friend: Friendship is a formation of two or more people. It isn't necessary that these people have the same likes or dislikes, ideas and choice of music genre. Material things don't define how tight the bonding is. Age isn't even an issue. It is an invisible tie to everyone else except between two, three or more people who enjoy being together. This invisible tie is timeless; it stretches out to a longest mile. And I believe we have that.

Here are some of the photos I took with Action Sampler using Lomography Redscale film. A reflection of myself wearing my favorite Minnie Mouse hairband We don't even care what the neighbors thought of us. P.S. we're kind of drunk. My favorite series of photos of Bhilly! What a happy guy ;) The sunset -- a view from home A dove that has been chilling in our yard for months now I like this one because it's clear. So silly of me not to move my hand for an *action effect* The sky at high noon Action Sampler is a fun camera. Thanks to Mark for lending it to me. It's the second film camera I've ever used. I hope someday I could buy a professional SLR camera. I want to learn film photography. ;) P.S. Happy New Year! ;)
