read read read !

"To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries."
                                      - A C Grayling, Financial Times (in a review of A History of Reading by Alberto Manguel)


"To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company."
                                                                                                                                                                                           - Andre Gide


"To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry."
                                                                                                                                    - Gaston Bachelard


i love reading. it opens my mind, takes me to the most amazing places, and makes me believe in the most nonsense things.

now i believe in witches, dragons, warriors, and vampires. fairies and ompa loompas. i've been to Hogwarts and Willy Wonka's factory. i've fight titans and meet gods in Olympus with Percy Jackson. i've had tea time with Alice and Mad Hatter. i believe that the wonderland is beautiful. lovely. amazing and breathtaking. anything beyond our imagination. i've seen princesses and pirates. sailing through the sea and entering the magical world of Narnia.


reading is Beautiful. through reading we can see better. i agree that nowadays, there's televisions and movies and we can see the stories being pictured. but reading. we use our own imagination. we picture them in our minds. it increases our creativity and imagination. our mind has no limitations.  

through reading we also learn. we learn something that school or our tuition didn't taught us. that's why reading is a bliss. it's a gift. if you can read then you're lucky. you can experience those things and feel the magic of reading.



i have a lot of books but these are a few of my favorites. i also love the percy jackson and narnia series but didn't include them in the picture because it'll ruin the pose.

spring's gone, the beauty's still here

red. yellow. orange. green. pink. violet. blue. white.

all those colours. don't you just love colours? it's a beauty one can't describe.

and flowers. aren't they beautiful?

flowers and colours. two beautiful things. what happen if they combine?













oh it's blooming season. there's still a lot and i will post the rest of these beauties someday. just not now.

family and... fudge??

families are like fudge , mostly sweet with a few nuts

family. when it comes to this word, i just... i dunno what to say. i just love mine so much.


i agree it's sweet, and yeah, the nuts add the crunchiness, making it just right. it had the balance between it. it can't be too sweet, cuz you'll end up with diabetes. the nuts shouldn't be too much too, or you'll end up with aching sore throat.


this is my family. and it has the perfect amount of fudge and nuts.



well my brother can be a 'little' annoying sometimes. oh well, a lot. but hey, that's what brothers are for :)

luscious things

first day of school was well, exciting? fun? memorable? nah, just boring.

same old people, same old things.


i got home and figured out, well, maybe i deserve just a lil treat to... to... make my day better.








can't wait to wolf down these things. simple, easy, and scrumptious.

striking sun

i love how the sun shines through the leaves. it's beautiful. yellow bright lights leaking among the clustered leaves of the giant trees along the road. also when it goldened the grasses, showering it with bright warm glow.

today i tried to capture those beautiful beauties, so that i'll always have those lovely views with me.




playing among the grasses can be fun. just watch out for the bugs.


i hope the sun will shine forever, warming us with its golden glow.
