Arghh!!! Why can't I just press the "send" button??? I wanna talk to you so badly, but everytime I typed something, I'll just end up deleting it! It's like I feel that the message is too lame or something...Haizz, I feel like killing myself... Why don't I have the courage to talk to you anymore?? Everytime I'm talking with you, my brain won't function and I can't think of anything to say to you....I feel so useless...

Talking To The Moon ~

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have

Chorus:

At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself

Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say
I've gone mad
Yeah
I've gone mad
But they don't know
what I know

Cause when the
sun goes down
someone's talking back
Yeah
They're talking back

Chorus:

At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

Do you ever hear me calling?
Cause every night 
I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you

In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away





Cherie,
Since that last sms the other day, I didn't talk to you...I want you to know that I miss you so much and I wanna to see you very badly...Why did you delete your fb account? Why? I'm desperate to talk to you once more...What can I do to make it happen? I miss you...

Just a theory ~

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?

Let’s face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don’t fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn’t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn’t the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn’t a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

Paris Quotes ~

Introduction:

Paris is known as the City Of Lights...A city of culture...of fine dining and magnificent architecture ~ Paris is a city for lovers: lovers of art, lovers of history, lovers of...love <3

1) Paris is just incapable of being anything less than beautiful...even when it's grey and rainy... - Maroon 5

2) If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast.” 

3) I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn't that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I'd already been translating French poetry, I'd been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went. 
Paul Auster 

4) I had enjoyed life in Paris, and, taking all things into consideration, enjoyed it wholesomely.
James Weldon Johnson 

5) I made the decision to come back to New York, quit my job and move to Paris.
Ed Bradley 

6) I stayed three weeks in Paris, fell in love with the city, and decided that I was born to live in Paris.
Ed Bradley


7) Paris is a beautiful city, and there’s such a nice emphasis on lifestyle — people aren’t obsessed with just work, they make time to have a life, enjoy great meals, etc. And I love the parks, and seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night.Sofia Coppola  


8)Oh, it was so hard to leave Paris, just about my favorite city in the world.
Tony Visconti 


9) Paris is a hard place to leave, even when it rains incessantly and one coughs continually from the dampness.
Willa Cather 


10) When Americans shoot movies they aim at the entire planet. When the French make movies, they aim at Paris.
Jean-Jacques Annaud 


11) When we arrived in London, my sadness at leaving Paris was turned into despair. After my long stay in the French capital, huge, ponderous, massive London seemed to me as ugly a thing as man could contrive to make. 
James Weldon Johnson 


12) "Paris is the city in which one loves to live. Sometimes I think this is because it is the only city in the world where you can step out of a railway station—the Gare D’Orsay—and see, simultaneously, the chief enchantments: the Seine with its bridges and bookstalls, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Concorde, the beginning of the Champs Elysees—nearly everything except the Luxembourg Gardens and the Palais Royal. But what other city offers as much as you leave a train?" 
Margaret Anderson

War! War! War! ~ I don't know why, but I keep thinking of war lately... I even play out fantasy battles in my head! LOL...I wonder is this how it feels to be a God Of War? Always watching battles and planning strategies and stuff like that...I think I feel like I'm Ares (Greek God Of War), Mars( Roman God Of War) or even Kratos (the hero in the God Of War video game)...Even now, when Im writing this post, I'm thinking about a battle between Alexander The Great's army against the Romans...I know it's impossible coz they're in different eras...I think I have a problem, thinking bout wars...Can anyone help me?? Well, while waiting for that to happen, I'm off to my dreamland, thinking bout wars....

Ares

Parthenons and Pantheons

Well, since I was bored the other day, I decided to search about ancient architecture ~ Well, I found 4 buildings with almost the same names...Check it out! XD

Parthenon, Athens, Greece

Parthenon, Nashville, USA

Pantheon, Rome, Italy

Panthéon, Paris, France

The words "Pantheon" and "Parthenon" originates from the greek word, "Πάνθειον" which means "to every god". Yea, 3 of these were temples dedicated to gods ~

The one in Greece was a temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom as well as a treasury. Later, it was used as a church, then a mosque until the stupid Venetians destroyed the building. Currently, the Greek government is restoring the structure back to its glory days ~

The one in US is a life-size replica of the one in Athens.  It's an art museum.

The one in Rome was a temple dedicated to all of the Roman gods. Then, after Rome converted to Christianity, it was used as a church besides being the final resting place for several important people in Italy ~

The one is Paris was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve and to house the reliquary châsse containing her relics, but after many changes now functions as a secular mausoleum containing the remains of distinguished French citizens ~

I know this is boring....but Im bored...so, I decided to type this lo...

Poems ~

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.


-William Shakespeare-


An Entrapment

My love, I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;

I know now why Shakespeare could not
compare his love to a summer’s day.
It would be a crime to denounce the beauty
of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision
God had placed in forging you.

Each facet of your being
whether it physical or spiritual
is an ensnarement
from which there is no release.
But I do not wish release.
I wish to stay entrapped forever.
With you for all eternity.
Our hearts, always as one.

- Anthony Kolos -
