LES CYGNES

Les cygnes, they are massive. 
Perhaps I could have a couple
 in the backyard someday- 
along with peacocks, ostriches 
and flamingos. ☻ 

PENSEZ Â MOI

I am blowing kisses in the wind

To soothe my dear beloved’s heart

I am saying a prayer to the sky

Certain that God will hear my plea

I long for you my darling Yvon

Someday we will be home… I know.

NEXT REVERIE

Goodbye to desert dreams…

To glistening ocean

The house by the beach

Scorching heat

Sand under my feet

Goodbye to desert dreams…

To sun-kissed skin

The visions of home

Trip to an island

My long awaited scene

Farewell for now

I say to thee…

-Until our next reverie.

Don't Go Far Off, Not Even For a Day

Pablo Neruda

-->

Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Don't leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.

Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don't leave me for a second, my dearest,

because in that moment you'll have gone so far
I'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?

PURE HAPPINESS

Let's keep that sense of wonder.

P♥INTERS ON MAGICAL CONNECTION

Never threaten the one you love. Refrain from saying anything along the lines of “or else” or “this is not going to work” or “be really careful” in the heat of an argument. It will do nothing but escalate anger and frustration. There is always a more loving way to get your point across. However upset you are, remember that this is still the person you love- and this is the platform which everything you say should be based on.☻

ANTICIPATION

I am waiting… waiting… waiting…

And I can wait some more.

How long?

However long it takes.

Why?

Love…

Why?

Because.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

MARSHMALLOW TEST FOR EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT

HANDSOME STEEL

My man wanted to get a Hummer months ago. Well, he ended up getting a new yacht which is "nice" too. Imagine if I had crazy amount of money and actually got something like this Hummer tank and shipped it to where he was as a surprise? That, and unlimited petrol supply for this guzzler. Oooh!!! I’m sure it would have melted even the coldest of hearts (of men into fully outfitted or high performance vehicles- that is). The all-terrain rubber tracks on this custom H2T sure are handsome but superfluous, considering that Mattracks have unreliable traction on side slopes and poor grip on hills so won’t do well on sand dunes I suppose. 

BEAUTY AND GRACE

Pretty in pink flamingos remind me of elite ballet dancers moving swiftly. I hope I can witness your graceful nature someday.

P♥INTERS ON MAGICAL CONNECTION

--> --> --> -->

Saying I LOVE YOU for me is essential. I know they are just words but it is a great feeling to be told by the one you love that he loves you back. They are three simple words that can do wonders in keeping the magic alive.

If you are to send a text to your partner- you might as well include I LOVE YOU. If you are to make a call- you might as well tell him I LOVE YOU. It will never make you any less of a person if you tell your woman that you love her- anytime, anywhere or around whomever.

Not so many people get to meet that one great love in this lifetime- if you feel you are one of them- then don’t waste it. Do not take it for granted. Cherish it- treasure it. Make it the best experience everyday for you and the one you love. Show your love- say you love her as many times as you can.

BUTTERFLY KISSES

The itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out

Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again

OH MY DANDELIONS!

I love watching them sway in the wind. 

A DOSE OF SACCHARINE-SWEET CUTENESS

However you are feeling today- I want you to look at this and smile.

Deep breaths- come say it with me…”Life is beautiful.”

WEDDING BELLS RINGING

My dear sister is getting married in December. My future brother-in- law, Paolo and she have been together now for 5 years I think. I know he loves my sister very much and I am really happy for them. They will both be based in Singapore next year. I'm actually excited to see her walk down the aisle in her gown. It's going to be a traditional Catholic wedding. My ex and I planned to have a beautiful yacht wedding under the Golden Gate Bridge and I was to wear my Monique Lhuillier gown with some loved ones around to hear the vows we wrote for each other.

̴
We ended up with just the 2 of us in the SF City Hall in our jeans- Asian bride, American groom, and African-American lady judge to officiate. It was cool and practical. My ex cried during the ceremony because he said it overwhelmed him to be getting married to the woman of his dreams and I felt I was marrying the man of my dreams too. It was really sweet. So at that time- that sufficed for the hopeless romantic me. We went home and changed to have dinner in a nice Japanese restaurant and I remember having the best sashimi in my entire existence.

̴

At this juncture of my life, I still dream of having a romantic wedding, nothing fancy just romantic. I want to have a grand romantic wedding when I'm old and grey. I will have to grow old gracefully so I can wear my dream wedding dress. Yay!!!

KISS MEEEEEEE

I dream of getting dolphin kisses- sweet, tender, dolphin kisses. Someday…I will- if not in this lifetime,
