Love?

Read this from fuckyeahhlove.tumblr, and it almost triggered something in me that I couldn't explain:

“I wanted it played at our wedding, along with “Grow Old With Me” and “Nights of Satin”. We talked about living in an old house with a big yard, and getting a German Shepherd, a Ragdoll cat, and a few rats. Our children were going to be named Bailey, Dannan, and Avonlea Jean. We got through it when you almost got cut out of your dad’s will because you were in a gay relationship; we got through your “mom” screaming at you… a few times; we got past your brother-in-law telling us that we were mentally ill and manipulative; we got through the initial frustrations of living together; we got through all the ups and downs of love. We loved each other, and wanted a life with each other. I look back and wonder: if people had just let us live out our happily ever after, would you have had the mental breakdown that led to you breaking up with me? …You couldn’t handle the pressure anymore.

Remember how I held you that first night, and I couldn’t fall asleep because I knew I had something miraculous in my arms… and how could I waste my life sleeping, when I could spend it holding you?

I still love you like I’ve never loved anyone. I still want a life with you like I’ve never wanted anything else. In the words of your mother, “You are too precious to lose.” ”


You know what's the hardest part about making plans? You never know if you'd ever make it there with the 1 person you want it with the most. Well, you know what, eventually we'll all get there. We'll all get that house we wanted, that dream 7 seater car, or even that puppy you prayed for since you were 5. But what make all these 'wants' stay significant after you've got them? You get to share them with someone special. Now, that's the challenge.

Being Single for more than 2 years, (well, what's 2 years right, since I'm only 22), I find myself feeling awkward having to be not single again. Not bad awkward but awkward like your first time in 5 inches high heels. You don't feel steady. You don't feel secure. You don't feel ready. It's like anytime you're gonna fall flat on your nose. But. (yes, there's a but) You feel tall-er. You feel beautiful looking at yourself in the mirror saying, "Omg, these heels look so gorgeous. And what the heck, I kinda look good in them too!". That feeling is awesome. Totally awesome juice.

That's how I feel right now. It's comfort in an uncomfortable situation. :)

You know what they say - You can complain that roses have thorns or rejoice that thorns have roses.

BTW, love looks like this too.......... slurps.

Walk tall or fall short.



Do you still remember these stick-on earrings? Sooooooo girlie. The heart shaped ones have always been my favorite. Heart these things.

Goldfrapp tour poster



Love this! LOVE GOLDFRAPP!

I'd love you in a heart beat

I like this.

There's something disgustingly romantic about couple tees. I will never walk down the street with a "I love my boyfriend" across my chest but I'd totally wear this.

;)

Maybe Tuesday can be inspiring.

Sleepy, much.

Nicole Kidman by Craig McDean, 2003.

Who knew Nicole Kidman could look like that?

And there came the Oscars!

Truth be told, no one cares who wins what award.. We just want to know what they would be wearing! :)

Here are some of my favourites:

Here’s a closer up verison of Carey Mulligan’s dress so you can see the lil forks & knives and other lil bits embellishing it. Isn't it cute? I love how her pixie cut, earrings and clutch bag go so well with the dress. And haha, who would have thought to sew up knives and forks onto a dress? Whimsical, much? ;)













I don't even know how to begin describing this Ellie Saab dress on Rachel McAdams. It looks different under different light and it flows along like a painting. I like how she kept her neck bare and combed her blonde hair back. Sexy, really sexy.














And then the ugly:

I love Vera Farmiga, really. I also love this shade of pink. It'd look nice on a cute short dress but not on this... she looks like a mermaid overdose on salmon or drugs. She looks really badly poisoned.















The uncertain:

Not sure if I like this Armani Privé dress on Amanda Seyfried. I like the color and how it shimmers under light but she does look like she's covered in bubble wrap. Though her smile is to die for. Love the bangle too.














I don't know if I like this either. I like how it has a mix vintage couture and modern screen glamor but it's just a tad bit boring for me. Cameron have had better looks. This was just too safe for me.















On a side note, I am extremely happy that The Hurt Locker won best picture because they deserve it more than any of the other nominees. The Hurt Lock was also the big winner for the night. And if you haven't watched Precious, you ought to! Mo'nique won Best Supporting Actress for Precious, I felt she deserved it hands down as well.

I'm out. Love you all.

Paul&Joe with Alice



Omg, I so love this!

I just caught Alice in Wonderland last night, what can I say - Tim Burton, you've outdone yourself again.

Talk more about it in my next post.
