“For this moment, this one moment, we are together. I press you to me. Come, pain, feed on me. Bury your fangs in my flesh. Tear me asunder. I sob, I sob.”

“‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ First single. fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24/7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blowjob or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have such a feeling that they can’t hide. Every single successful song of the past fifty years can be traced back to ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ And every single successful love story has those unbearable and unbearably exciting moments of hand-holding. Trust me. I’ve thought a lot about this.”

Please stop using the phrase “krisis sa Mindanao” o “kaguluhan sa Mindanao” on your news reports. Mindanao is a very big island. While a tragedy indeed happened in Basilan, it is only a part of a big land area. It is a disservice to all who live in Mindanao in peace. People who are not from Mindanao tend to think that there’s chaos all over here in the island, when in fact there is none.
If a bombing happens in Makati or in Manila for instance, you would not call it a “Luzon crisis or problem”, would you? You have to be more sensitive and professional because media has the ability to affect the consciousness of the viewers.
You can help the country achieve what it desires. Choose your words well in your news report.

“Falling in love with Renee was not the kind of thing you walk away from in one piece. I had no chance. She put a hitch in my git-a-long. She would wake up in the middle of the night and say things like “What if Bad Bad Leroy Brown was a girl” or “Why don’t they have commercials for salt like they do for milk?” Then she would fall back asleep. while I would lie awake and give thanks for this alien creature beside whom I rested.”

I just finished reading this book today, and I have to say it was totally worth the read. It is about how the author, Gretchen Rubin, spent an entire year testing various theories, insights, and pieces of wisdom of what it is that makes people happy and how to become happier. It was…

top ten quotes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone
(via pilyangcherubim)
--top 10 quotes from Harry Potter and the Sorcerre's stone
- 1) Mr. Ollivander: Curious... very curious...
- Harry: Sorry, but what's curious?
- Mr. Ollivander: I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. It so happens that the phoenix whose tailfeather resides in your wand gave another feather... just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar.
- Harry: And who owned that wand?
- Mr. Ollivander: We do not speak his name! The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It's not always clear why. But I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great.
