Its funny how we're funny
U meet people in strange places
U form attachments
Sometimes they last,sometimes they dont
But ur life will be all the more sweeter because of this experience

A question comes to mind
Is it better to have short,fleeting, one of a kind relationships?
or long,mundane, comfy like my old pillow kind of relationship?

At what point do u look at the other person's face and feel annoyance instead of happiness?

which brings another question to mind,
Is it better to have easy-going shallow relationships with many different people?
or meaningful, bestfriends for life kind of relationships with a selected few?

And to have either of these relationships,
Is it better for u to be of the same disposition or the exact opposite?

Whats funny in life is that u can never predict these things
At least i think u cant
Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesnt

But leaving everything to chance and fate is something i am horrible at.
Staying in one place for a loooong period of time makes me uneasy.
And being a cynical being i can never trust a person wholeheartedly

Oh to be able to experience a day in the life of Regency England
which has absolutely nothing to do with this topic of conversation
but this is where my mind tends to float right this minute
To be one of the ton in their glorious dresses and attend balls
To meet dashing gentlemen who will murmur polite conversations and simultaneously seduce you with their eyes

One beauty of the written word,at least in the case of novels, is it presents a sort of escape into the imaginary world of your creation.
Your probably thinking but should'nt that be the author's creation?
I wont deny that the author does present a background for this world
but within those wondrous pages, you get to choose how the character looks like or how the setting ought to be from your imagination [ and the author's description of course]
Unlike in movies where everything is presented to you be it to your preference or not

And a novel is something you can appreciate yourself
it is YOURS.
of course u may want share a good story with a friend or two
but at the very moment u are reading, it is your very own little secret
Your sinful treasure [ mine is anyways! at least i like to think so]

which brings the last question to mind

Why bother with reality when that world inside ur mind could be excessively more entertaining?

But alas, we all need to return back to mother earth at some point in our lives
[At least i need to]

But the pleasures of a good book should always be appreciated from time to time

...And that is why folks i have acquired thousands and thousands of novels of which, as i have reminded my brother time and time again, i do not plan to sell EVER

theyre like a family heirloom
my daughter's lives will be all the more richer from it
Consider it a gate into a part of their mother's thoughts and imagination

And with that i shall bid u adieu
Sleeping late every night disrupts my mind and this is the result everytime
I tell u it works better than brandy.

Toodle-ooo & cherry-bye

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

i REALLY should be studying
in fact, i WAS
till i discovered something AMAZING
and i just had to blog :))

say hello to Disney's new animated feature The Princess and the Frog!!!
if there ever was a movie MADE for me this is it :)))
and i shall list down the reasons why for you :
1. if ur my friend u'd know i am quite partial to frogs and love the frog prince story in general
2. if ur my friend u'd also know my deep love for New Orleans and cajun ppl in general [ think Gambit, my darling Remi LeBeau :))))]
3. and last but CERTAINLY not the least, if ur my friend u'd know how crazy i am over the roaring twenties - the jazz, the booze,the flappers, the Great Gatsby, Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone it practically gives me shivers :))

and whadya know,
this Disney movie has ALL three packed into one neat little package!
The Princess and the Frog is a fairytale set in the French Quarter of New Orleans during the 1920s
lots of jazz,lots of voodoo, lots of bayous and gators and gumbos :)))

take a look at the trailer :)

is it just me or did that firefly have a slight CAJUN accent???

I CANT WAAAAAAAAAIIIT

like they say down at the bayou,

Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler































[ this is what happens during exams, u blog excessively]

i HATE examinations with a fiery passion of a thousand suns!
Thankfully, i shall be done by this Monday
WHICH consequently, is ayah's birthday as well.

After that monstrosity just now,
i needed a little Disney pick-me-up
a little gaiety and merriment were most welcomed
But of course, HMV didnt even carry Alice in Wonderland
and they charge u a ridiculous amount of 17 pounds for Sleeping Beauty
what nonsense.

but my packages did arrive :)
my Disney pins, BamBam's notebook, ayah's present,the Marc Jacob shoes
and loads and loads of novels! :)))
Joy galore

So much for going to the movies tonite,
[i need to refrain, them jellies are causing my face to break out!!!]

a night in with a good book and a cup of hot tea will be very much appreciated.

" The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid"
Jane Austen, Northanger Abby

Quite eloquent of you, Jane dear
with unbelievable candour,I might add.


p.s i would like to thank Monsieur Mus'ab for remembering to wish me luck for every exam paper eventhough he currently resides in a country around 12 hours of flight away from where i currently am.
In other words, a country i call home.
Which i miss dearly.
or rather the people.
ok i'll stop now.
