Infatuation

"Before the beloved's own characteristics can affect them, these misguided souls smother the true person in an imaginary charm drawn from their own inexhaustible source. Then, as they become closer, they see their darling not as they are but as they have made them and, while believing they take delight in their loved one, they are simply delighting in their own conceptions. One fine day, however, weary of doing all the work, they discover that the object of their adoration is not returning the ball; the infatuation drops away and the blow to their self esteem makes them unjust towards the person they once idolized."

Stendhal on Love, translated from the French language

Geomancy

I know its a load of bull, but it makes good reading:

(1) wrt current squeeze

知什么叫做“火星撞地球”，必定要看这一对组合了，两个火爆型的人在一起要谈一次恋爱，的确需要大量“军火”。而且天蝎座很多事都放在心上不表现出来，一旦有情变，他的报复性极强，达五星!!!白羊座很容易会被天蝎座的神秘魅力吸引，而将羊头撞过去，结果一撞出事，皆因两个人都是权力至上的人。试想如此情况之下，哪有可能不是由早吵到晚的一对？


(2) wrt previous squeeze

非常适合一起的一对组合，但可能要象赌博一样博一博。因为你俩的人生态度很接近，对任何事物都有象小孩子一般的热情和好奇，彼此很容日易沟通起来。要留意的就是白羊座的人缺乏耐性和持久力，而水瓶座的人变化多端，有时候连自己需要什么也不知道，两个人在一起，一定要找到解决这个问题的药方

Choices

I asked her why did she have her ex-crush's photo on her handphone's wallpaper, to which she replied, "I will be getting married (to another guy) in two weeks' time, and after that I will never be able to have his photo on my wallpaper ever again".

That was in 2004, and they have been happily married and living overseas since. They have a kid now, but the memory of the wallpaper incident never fails to remind me that in life, as with most things, it's all about the choices we make and how we choose to make things work.

Wishes

Happy Birthday Meiling. You should be 25 now. What would you have been doing? Would you have married? Would we still be arguing over the smallest things? Would you still be the same? Would WE still be the same?

I miss you terribly. One day when my chores are done here I will see you again. One day.
