I am beginning to feel that 2009 has been slipping through my fingers, like we’re in a dance and I can’t seem to catch up. I woke up panicky the other day because I have not really achieved something to WOW about for this year. Anyway, here are some stuff which I absolutely ADORE! And Rilke’s one of my favourite poets, his Letters to A Young Poet really made a deep impression on me.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses
who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.
Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence,
something helpless that wants our love.
–Rainier Marie Rilke


 ♥ GREEN is my favourite color. Jordan Clarke did a series about colors on her blog. I of course waited for the GREEN post.

♥ Treehouses! There is something about them that screams FUN! Reminds me of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys though. And the 90s movie, Now and Then – wait, did they have a treehouse in the movie?

♥  I want to read Be With You by Takuji Ichikawa. According to Amazon, “When Takumi’s wife suddenly returns from the grave, he can’t believe his eyes. How could such a thing be possible? Is she here to stay? Has love miraculously triumphed over death? As Takumi starts looking for answers to these questions, he discovers the secret of his wife’s appearance is somehow linked to the past…and the future.

♥ The Secret Garden. This is one of my favourite stories of all time. And watching the movie was the next best thing!

♥  I don’t really like female singers that much, especially for Pop songs, but I admire female singer/songwriters (and not just the singers who add a whoa or an ooh at the end of the line and credit themselves as songwriters). I love indie folk and dreamy songs. And yes, I like it when guys sing a capella, the blending and so on, this is the first SS501 song that I’ve heard and anything a capella always catches my heart!
