I was clearing my room this week. I found something- a box of chocolate that I bought in Washington DC. Still new and the seal not broken, even the price tag was still there. However, it was already 1.5 years old.
I am not sure how long a sealed chocolate will last but I know my tummy is more precious than the box of err...24 chocolates. I love chocolates but I treasure my tummy more. I am just too selfish to sacrifice my tummy. I am not qualified to be a chocolate lover.
What's so special about the chocolate anyway? What is it that I treasured so much that I never touch it for 1.5 years. I mean I knew it existed all the while and why I never bother to send it out or open it and eat it? Well, it's just $12.49, not sure how much inflation would jack up the price though.
For one reason, they are just too nice. I was told that there are sweet loving tender messages folded in each 24 chocolates. I bet it is the near perfect present for valentine day, or for one's birthday, or... Well, I never know if they indeed has such messages...I never will.
Why I bought it in the first place? I think I just felt that I might need a present to give away on my first valentine's day. Did I? I didnt.
Why I never sent it away? Fear, I guess was the reason. I was still a young hot blooded kid then that did things with his guts and instinct. Well, I bet I was glad that I didnt send it afterall, or regretted it?
Somethings are just like that box of chocolate. If you dont send it out, it will just be left in the bottom of your treasure box and left there to collect dust. And as years past by, you dont feel like sending it anymore. And as it goes, you even wonder if that chocolate is still as tasty, edible, although you know it once was guaranteed to be tremendously awesome.
So, in the end, I ended the life of that chocolate. I spared it the misery of waiting to impress other people. I let it forever be sealed in that wonderful box and left untouch. I know it once taste nice and will be forever be nice, only if I send it to someone.
Alright, here's another birthday wish for you, my classmate, schoolmate, fellow victorian, roommate, university mate, apartment mate......(all in past tense) Nothing too fancy, that I sincerely apologize. However, I hope that it's the thought that count. This picture brings my wishes to you, especially you who are right now facing all the challenges and I wish that you would endure it with success.
CARD OF STRENGTH
"Usually we think of strength in physical terms - big arms, powerful legs - but there is also inner strength. Inner strength comes from an exercise of the heart muscle. It is perseverance, courage, resolve and composure - qualities that help us endure when times are tough. In the past, a person with inner strength was commonly said to have character; he or she could be counted on in the darkest moments. Card 8 (Strength) represents this energy of quiet determination. Strength is not a flashy card, but one that is solid and reliable.
Card 8 also represents patience and compassion. Getting angry is easy when events turn sour, but dealing calmly with frustration takes great strength. So does accepting others and forgiving mistakes. We need strength to mold situations softly. Card 8 is more subtle, even loving. Notice how the lion (itself a symbol of strength) is being guided and tamed by the woman's gentle hands.
Card 8 will appear in a reading when its qualities are needed. It can be a reminder not to despair or give up. You have the inner strength to endure and triumph. If you are pushing too hard, you need to withdraw for the moment and be patient. If other people or circumstances are driving you crazy, remember the strength that comes with love and forbearance. These will see you through the hardest moments. "
Happy 21st Birthday. Hope you have a wonderful day.
PS: I am leaving in say...4 hours and wont have internet access. So, it is an early bird's wish.
Dear friend, lost touch with you for quite a while, I dont even dare to dream of a second of your delicate fingers would actually scroll and visit this filthy page of mine. For what it contains thus far was none other than my childish thought and nonesense fart. Nonetheless, today is your birthday, I hope these lines below would bring you joy...and may you have a blessed day.
My 11+1 wishes for you:
wish that i could be standing there instead of sitting in front of my MSN
wish that i could sing happy birthday instead of playing it in my head
wish that i could take your picture instead of repeatedly looking at jpgs you sent me
wish that i could see you blow the candles instead of lighting my cigar
wish that i could hear you laugh instead of watching chick flick
wish that i could see you cut the cake instead of eating one now
wish that i could give you this card instead of mailing it to you
wish that i could say "happy birthday" to you instead of typing it
wish that i could say "21 already...no more behaving like a kid..." and all other long winded crap

As I mentioned, Aug and October will be among my busiest months. And as I mentioned too that I dont want to google and paste the birthday wishes. I got idea from friend Tracy (My Eyes -> Your Eyes) to edit a picture/photo and a wish. So to my friend E that's celebrating 21st birthday today aka 4 Aug, here's a birthday wish for you. Err...currently connection sux big time so I hope I could upload the picture as soon as possible.

All the Best!!
PS: I cant believe launching this blog takes longer time than drawing Arwen. And of course, I didnt draw it, I copy and modified a carton Arwen
August is one of the most important yet troublesome period for me. Another on would be October. Well, let’s talk about present, instead of the uncertain future. For some weird reason, I know many people who are born in the month of August. 4 Aug, 8 Aug, 11 Aug, 13 Aug, 18 Aug, 28 Aug? (let me check…hope that my daughter wont kill me for that) 31 Aug…That’s bad. Worse still is that as a gentleman, I am not suppose to forget the ladies’ birthday and to show my sensitive side, I need to google up some nice pick up lines/well wishes that wouldn’t sound so antique yet not too contemporarily erotic.
Let me see what can I find in google:
-Damn, if being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged! (must be a policeman cant wait to get laid)
-Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living? (waiting for you to get laid? Of course not!! @$$hole!)
-Can I flirt with you? (is it just flirt or am I expecting more than that)
-I'm good at math, U+I=69 (man…hope that girl is not a math major)
-If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together. (too bad…you cant)
More in cosmopolitan (April 2004 edition)…too bad it’s been ripped off. Hey. It’s my friends copy…I read that once in a while though.
However, nothing beats those in "A Beautiful Mind": . Nash: I don't exactly know what I am required to say in order for you to have intercourse with me. But could we assume that I said all that. I mean, essentially we are talking about fluid exchange, right? So could we go just straight to the sex?
Nash: You're still here. Alicia: I'm still here. Nash: (almost inaudibly)Why? Alicia: I was wondering Professor Nash, if I could take you to dinner?...You do eat, don't you? Nash: On occasion. Table for one, you know how it is. Prometheus, chained to the rock, birds circling overhead. No, I expect you wouldn't... Leave your address with my office. I'll pick you up on Friday at eight...We'll eat. One more thing. Do you have a name or should I just call you 'Miss'?
Alicia Larde (Jennifer Connelly): Boy, you must really be important. What are you working on? Nash: Classified. Alicia: Everybody waited half an hour. Class. You missed class today. Nash: Ah well, I am confident they did not miss me. Alicia: The problem you left on the board, I solved it. Nash: No, You didn't. Alicia: You didn't even look. Nash: I never said the vector fields were rational functions...Your solution is elegant though ultimately incorrect.
(wow, more like you are beautiful but ultimately not my type)
Nash: I find that polishing my interactions in order to make them sociable requires a tremendous effort. I have a tendency to expedite information flow by being direct. Often I don't get a good result. Alicia: Try me. Nash: I find you very attractive. Your aggressive moves toward me indicate you feel the same. Still ritual requires that we continue a number of platonic activities before we can have intercourse. But all I really want to do is have sex with you as soon as possible. Are you going to slap me now?
And the most touching of all :
Nash: I've always believed in numbers. In the equations and logics that lead to reason... I've made the most important discovery of my life. It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reason can be found. Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind. But it is a better gift to discover a beautiful heart . . . I'm only here tonight because of you. You're the only reason I am... you're all my reasons.
(By the way, this is also a Hollywood gimmick)
What happened in the end? I decided to write my own lines. Not sure if I'll ended up getting slapped on the face, not even sure if I am going to utter out those words.
