#JiChangWook

2015-07-05T18:28:00.000-05:00

7/5 - Today is Ji Chang Wook's birthday.
.........He turns 28.

I first saw him in the #kdrama #Healer and fell over heels for him. He is an open book. He is not afraid to show you his weakness even though his character was completely the opposite.

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they carry themselves. Some carry their thoughts on their shoulders, others, in their mind and then a few in their hearts.

I am a wholehearted fan now. I wish him the best that life can bring. I hope he does a few more dramas/movies/project and then wish for him to settle down and have a family.

It must be hard on him having to always please people.

Anywho, happy birthday love and good health to you. Thank you for the gift of presentation. You have succeeded in making my laugh, cry, and hurt. Saranghae.

Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday. Missing you is the heartache that never goes away. Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.

8/4
....you're happy when you're together, and so you want to be together more. That's love.
...Sometimes, music gives birth to a moment that is magical.
...when in love, you speak a language only the two of you can understand.
...just the thought that there's someone thinking of me makes me happy.
...he may seem temperamental, but if you apologize, he'll let it go.
...you're such a strange person that even when you do strange things, I don't get surprised.
...at times like this, you seem like a truck without brakes.
...I may make bad decisions because my intelligent brain overthinks... :)
...if you can't control your own heart how can you win the heart of another?

8/3
..everyone goes through trial and error in life.
...you have to make mistakes in order to mature.
..no matter how much two people love each other, their hearts will change.

...Nice orchid....
Thanks...It's for one of the girls who works here. You probably know her. Jill.F.C...
...I smile. I do know her. Biblically, in fact. Griffin

Don't fall in love with potential. Potential doesn't actually exists yet. Griffin

7/23
...He walks over to where we're standing and grabs a handful of raspberries from one of the containers. You're not going to wash that first?....You don't know what pesticides it's got on it. He pops the raspberry into his mouth. "Sweetheart" he says, "I smoke cigarettes." Griffin from "Fall with me"

I am going to add the lines that I like here. So, here goes.

Hope is that tiny light that the gods have given us so that we can find our way through our darkest hours. And while we might stub our toes and bruise our knees, if we keep moving forward, even when our progress is slow and painful, we will overcome and be made better by our journey.… No misery or bad situation is ever infinite or final until we make a conscious decision for it to be so. Lilliana from Inerno

No matter how bad you think your life is, there is always someone out there with a story to make yours look grand in comparison. Ash

“When you first take someone’s life, two people die. The person you just killed and the human being you used to be. You’re never the same after that—it changes you forever and not in a good way—and no matter how hard you try, you can’t go back to the innocence you had. Ever.” Ash

“It doesn't matter what other people think. The only opinion that really matters is yours. We are all the writers of our lives. We can make our stories comedies or tragedies. Tales of horror, or of inspiration. Your attitude and your fortitude and courage are what determine your destiny... Ash

How will I ever know if a woman really likes me?
Easy. It’ll be the woman who’s immune to it. She won’t come on to you. She’ll tell you off. Caleb

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Brad

Frankenstein

2013-04-12T14:25:00.001-05:00

4/12 Almost six months since Frankenstorm and now I find myself reading the book Frankenstein. What did I learn?
1. I now know how to spell Frankenstein.
2. Frankenstein was the doctor not the monster.
3. It was written a long time ago like in 1818
4. It was written by a teenager - 19 later published at 21
5. It was written by a girl.
6. The monster has no name

It was such a sad story. T_T
