From the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack. This song screams summer, being alive and young love. <3

Song of the week. Like a wave of calm.

I’m enjoying this feeling again – the feeling that life will take you places you never imagined. I’d missed it quite a lot this year; It felt like I was on standstill in the first half of this year. And of course things started coming together and falling apart at the same time.

And now it seems like things are coming together again. Work-wise, personal-life-happiness-and-peace-thingum-wise. I love my friends (wherever you are). Life in Hong Kong is getting better, and I am grateful.

When you least expect it, when you think it possibly impossible.

When you feel discouraged, and there’s a lack of colour

So discouraged/turned off by events at work today. Don’t feel like going in tomorrow… Sigh.

Went for a foot / shoulder rub after work to ease some tension. By the time I got home it was midnight. Glad to have had a thoughtful birthday gift (among some others!) with me – Carol Ann Duffy’s Rapture, and Death Cab for Cutie.

2 Days in Paris

It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much.

When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story.
I really loved this one.

When I think that its over, that I’ll never see him/her again like this… well yes, I’ll bump into him/her, we’ll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we had never been together, then we’ll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely. Almost.

Always the same for me. Break up, break down. Drunk up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around. Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well.

There’s a moment in life where you can’t recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him/her. And even if that person wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love that person’s sneezes more than anyone else’s kisses.
