Audrey Hepburn

Sophistication. Elegance. Poise. Virtue. Beauty. Intelligence. Of all the adjectives in this world, these epitomize Audrey Hepburn. In my opinion there never will be another person like her. I think the most striking thing about her was her gorgeous and I mean GORGEOUS Givenchy designed aesthetic of wearing clothes. Even in black slim trousers and turtle neck she looked amazing. I wish I meet someone who dresses like her now. But I think that would be hard as most girls feel very unsafe or even a little uncomfortable imitating the look of an Icon. I mean no one is seen wearing Katherine Hepburn's structured trousers or Grace Kelley's soft silhouettes either! so it's not a surprise. That being one reason I think the other would definitely be the lack of natural grace that many girls have these days. I am the first to agree - as I am writing a paper on feminism - about how necessary it is to be assertive and firm as a woman. But women nowadays confuse being assertive with being aggressive, they seem to have lost the charm of how something can be said in a very soft voice and yet have the impact of changing world policy. So girls be soft and elegant remember Audrey in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and don't imitate her but create your own brand of You albeit a charming one please.

New Beginnings

It is a Thursday. But for me it's a new day similar to a Monday. I have to start studying ... I have so many things I need to do. I just am a slacker aren't I? I tell myself that I will be able to do it where as I really think I might not this time. There is amazing news though my best friend has come to visit and I will see her in 2 - 3 weeks. I am so excited I haven't seen her since May 7th 2009! I just hope my excitement stays. She is apparently under a very tight schedule, but I am dying to see her face. Its one of those inner feelings you know ... that need to be fulfilled. I know its selfish but let's face it everything anyone ever does is for selfish reasons. I know this is off topic but many people tell me that I am very pedantic. The way I describe things and write things make me sound book-like. I wonder is it a bad thing to sound like that? hmm ... anyway book or no book ... I think I certainly do make sense when it comes to talking about things that are important to me. So now back to my friends visit. I was thinking that it would be fun if we all went to New York or Boston and went around the city and went to the museums and everything. I want to DO things but my friend ... she wants to talk. I mean I know talking is what you do after you see someone in a long long time but I want to walk and talk. Let us see. It should be a fun trip. Anyway I am back to slacki...I mean .. studying :)

'The One'

I am out on a quest. I do not know what the beginning or the end of this quest was or is - I just know I am on it. I have inhibited myself from the touch of skin, I have never been with someone in 'that kind of way' and, I think, that if I practice this long enough then I will find the one who is right for me. But am I right in thinking that way? I don't know. So many people have told me that I must take initiative if I am to find that certain someone special. I say I already am by waiting for the right one to come along. Sometimes - actually a lot of times - I feel like I am fooling myself, that I am delusional and love doesn't just 'happen'. But fortunately or unfortunately I have witnessed true love blossom in front of my eyes too many a time to negate it's being. I don't think I am scared to be in love if that is the kind of message that I may be giving off. But, rather, I feel the opposite - I feel that love is scared of me. Of what I might do to it. I do feel that I am a creature that might sacrifice love for my own personal gains. But then again I do also feel that I would give up anything on Earth for 'the one'. I just have to feel it - it will be a spiritual connection. I will know it ... will I not?

Mothers

We all love our mothers. I do too. But lately, she is definitely getting on my nerves. Mostly she doesn't even have do anything in particular to annoy me. Its just that she says things in a tone that completely bothers me. Well I shall explain my situation. I go to George Washington University and since I stay in the city I stay at home and not in a dorm. I know, I know, I should be staying but hey it saves me $10,000 a year! so anyway we have decided that in my sophomore year I will move on campus. Sound like fun. I just hope I am able to have my own independence. My parenst are quite different they want me to party and socialize and I am just the opposite - I want to go back early, sleep early and study. I think that when I go away from my parents I really will be able to live on my terms. I need it. I will miss them a lot, but its time that they are out at a distance from me. I feel like I am taking my mum for granted as well at times but it is hard to appreciate all that she does for me when she is nagging and shouting all the time. I think most people will relate to my situation - thankfully I am not the only one. Well I still have another 7-8 months to go till I say goodbye to them. So I should make the most of it. Another thing that I am worried about is my 7 year old brother. My parents spoil him like anything and I am the only stern disciplinarian for him. If I go I wonder what will become of him. Oh well my parents brought me up pretty fine I guess they will bring him up as well! tc .. xox

I should study

I feel like there is so much to do today. I know that I should definitely be doing something and that something is namely - study. I feel that I have a lack of concentration these days when it comes to such matters. Anyway I shall move ahead and fore ward and go and study.

oh and by the way I made a yum fruit salad with a banana puree dressing! (cooking makes me de-stress)

see you kids in a while!!

About to go to bed

Hello again. I know it's getting pretty late but what the hell! So I was just thinking about spirituality and religion today a little deeply. I have realized a universal truth (many people already know this, I presume) we are all one. I mean I know that we are all unique individuals but our souls, rather, our energy is the same. The same energy that keeps the Sun lighting and all the other stars and galaxies in the universe shining is what makes us, US. We all are inevitably matter and we as the saying goes are "ashes to ashes, dust to dust". It makes a lot of sense and its a very comforting thought that this energy or this light is God and is within us. When you think this way things like birth, death, life, work, politics, equality of sexual preference, religion etc. all seem so trivial and not important. In fact they are so not important that they should be things we need on a secondary basis. The first thing we need to focus on is our inner energy, the light inside us that protects us and guides us. We should keep our social obligations and responsibilities intact within society but we must not forget that one day it all will be over and nothing of such proportions will matter when we turn into a rock, a gem, a grain of sand, a tree or a river bed. Peace and good night - sleep over it you will realize the depth of my words! :)

The first one

Hello cyberspace! A blog is trendy, is it not? I really thought long and hard before I finally decided - "what the hell give in and create your own blog". So, here I am. I know that there may be no one reading this but that makes this the best way for me to be able to talk with myself.

I have just emerged from the realms of the worst snow blizzard I have ever been in. Yes I live in DC (well Arlington, Virginia). This has really made for a crazy no-fun vacation. I am off schedule and off track everything. I just hate it when my routine is interrupted. But mother earth has to do what she does! and we have to comply. I shall be going out to lunch today and maybe relish the winter sunshine in the snow while it lasts. Auf wiedersehen Blog. See you soon.
