Waiting for the Sakura

Chiburger is turning 3 this March. That means 3 things:

1. I have to pay for the renewal of this domain.
2. I have to make back-ups (although I do this regularly anyway).
3. I am getting old as well.

To celebrate this wonderful occasion, I will make myself cheesy and spicy spaghetti while watching the new Hunter X Hunter anime series in bed. Forgive me, body. It’s my way of beating PMS good. Muhaha.

Lately I have been restlessly lounging around the house, unable to figure out what I really want to do to pass the time. I’m probably just really bored. Or just suffering from PMS. One time I was lying in bed, wanting to fall asleep, but I found myself thinking “What is art? The beauty of expression? But what is beauty? Is everything relative?”

I don’t want any of you to answer those questions.

After that, I read a few pages of the book I’m currently (still) reading, went online to stream another episode of Hunter X Hunter, checked my e-mail several times, tried not to tweet, checked my e-mail once again (or twice), and just tried to remain laid in bed with an indelible frown. I wasn’t in the mood for chocolates.

Why am I telling you about my PMS experiences again? Hmm.

I’m looking forward to Spring. I promise to take photos of Sakura trees. In Spring here where I live, you will see many Sakura trees lined up along the road. It’s absolutely beautiful.

I borrowed more books from the Library. I almost borrowed 6. I’m sort of a book whore.

Question for you: Have you ever felt like cherry blossoms (Beautiful but temporary)?

Ditch, Drop, Dream

This might be a bit evil, boys.

Girls, I dare you to ditch the guys this Valentines! I dare you to drop everything and dream. It’s about time we acknowledge a different kind of love. Don’t let anyone else get in the way :p

Here are things you could do:

1. Learn to love reading

Here is a list of good books that you can read this Valentine’s Day:

- The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

- The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories by Joseph Gordon-Levitt

- Trainman by Nakano Hitori

- The Gaze by Elif Safak

- The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran

 

2. Collect quotes

Here are a few of my current favourites:

“Our love was the affliction for which only our love was the cure.”

“And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach.”

– Both from Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

*

“An average of seventy-four species become extinct every day, which was one good reason but not the only one to hold someone’s hand.”

– The History of Love by Nicole Krauss

*

“Kids, she says. When they’re little, they believe everything you tell them about the world. As a mother, you’re the world almanac and the encyclopedia and the dictionary and the Bible, all rolled up together. But after they hit some magic age, it’s just the opposite. After that, you’re either a liar or a fool or a villain.”

– Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

 

3. Take pictures of what you see

 
Of course, these are only my suggestions. There are the things that I like to do. Do what you like and be happy, single or not :) If Swarovski wholesale makes you happy, then go for it! Haha.
