Someone Exactly Like You

Celine and Jesse is perhaps the most admirable on-screen couple I've ever known. Ten years have come between them; life happened, marriage happened... kids happened. And yet there they were, in Paris, telling each other what life has done to them and where it's left them now. When you're in Paris, it's hard not to be astounded by the charming beauty all around you; it's hard not to be distracted by so many things the city has to offer; the sweets heaven, the landmarks, the cuisine, everything. Yet the most interesting part of his visit was her. And they managed to talk to each other because they have this urge to let each other know that they're glad they found themselves together again. Such a happy reunion, such a sad story. It's like they're trying so hard to tell each other, "Yeah, how are you? Where should I start? Life happens to me, you know. I guess that means I grow up. We grow up. Life's not all sugar and spice, but that's okay though. I think I can take it. I think I'll be fine. Can you please stay here? No? Well... I hope you're happy. You deserve to be happy. Please be happy."

May this boat take you somewhere, somewhere that's not here, where you can find yourself some peace. Sure, peace and freedom is lonely. But that somewhere is soon not a dream; it's a reality, and you're going to love it.

Teenage Dream

4 years from now, when I'm done with my masters degree from LSE, I'm gonna stay in London, spend my spare times watching plays or alone in galleries or museums all around the town or maybe simply working at a small vinyl store in Notting Hill. I'm gonna travel to Paris at holidays and visit art museums. And then there I met you, standing right next to me, staring at the same painting and talk about it over coffees in a small café or cheap champagne in the banks of Seine River. In 24 hours, we'd decided to fall in love.

But maybe you never exist.

Normally, I would post something like this on Tumblr. But since it's been down since yesterday (they say minutes but they mean hours, or probably days) I'm posting it here. It's actually inspired by another post by Ratih, here.

Chaises Volantes

One of these days you're gonna feel so empty.

Empty.

But don't worry you just have to free yourself.

So go ahead,

fly,

get high

we're young

save the serious stuffs for later.

Paris Je T'aime - Quais de Seine (Banks of Seine)

by Gurinder Chadha

I'm really fascinated about River Seine's banks in Paris. It was clearly visible that day when I had a Seine River Cruise on a boat that the jeunes Parisiens are having a great time hanging out there. They enjoy drinking, smoking, having good times with friends.... and all of that, is just so amazing. 

Fallin' in Love?

I don't know :))))))))

whoaaa back when he was FAT!

still a bit young, hmm?

is it like, in the 60s?

I have German lesson in school, which isn't a problem BUT it could be waaaayyyyy too boring. I mean, look, Italian and those prestigious British schools learn Latin because that's the language their ancestors used to communicate, and for even cooler than what we can imagine, it's the mother of what we use to write now. Maybe we should just learn Sanskriti instead of German. The German kids don't learn something, like, let's say, Swahili, right?? And the only thing that can keeps me from being so bored in German class which is 90 minutes per week is...... Herr Karl-Otto Lagerfeld. He's the real Svengali. Just remembering that this man (who, I think, resembles Andy Warhol) originally speaks German, it boosts my mood! and I'm not even his die hard fan.

"Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people… the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life… they are mean and they want to kill you

"I’m too superficial, egoistic and too involved with myself to have children. I’m not sure if I’m made to have children.

Bon Travail, Audrey!

I bought my mum this Eau de Parfum from Paris last year. Young folks might don't like the smell, but this is definitely the numero uno for classy, prestigious woman. When you can find a man who can say, "Hmm... Chanel N° 5. Classy," you know you can rely on him :)

Just remember: your mum or grandmum would love it!
