25 things revisited!



Sometime back there was this stupid tell the whole facebook community 25 things about yourself...looking back, it was peer pressure that drove me to sit and write mine as well..of course the boys were the first to do it and made the girls do it eventually!!

Today, Alx posted it again on his profile saying how much it brought back memories. As usual, with lotsa time on my hands (yes, i'm THAT efficient as you can see) I thought I'd take a walk down memory lane too...look what I found! I'm not going to copy and paste the whole thing but here's one that stood out and brought back what I was feeling or thinking on the 3rd of February 2009 :)

Just to make it more interesting..i've even copied the comment that went along with it!

ME : #2. I secretly dream of being taken away by my knight in shining armour on a white horse, heading into the deepest of the sunsets and not being traced at all after that --- leaving behind a note that says "c ya!"

: hahahah, i thought you were kidding abt the white horse....must have been 7 yrs ago when you told me?

I'm still looking for that white horse, let alone Richard Gere!

Love is...

The description of love from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin:

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine
