the optimist creed

2010-09-17T11:59:00.003-04:00

By: Christian D. Larsen

I promise...

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

just to hide your face and

you wear them around like

life's natural highs:

* Falling in love
* A special glance
* Taking a drive on a pretty road
* Hearing your favorite song on the radio
* Lying in bed listening to the rain outside
* Giggling
* Having someone tell you that you're beautiful
* Friends
* Laughing at an inside joke
* Getting out of bed every morning and thanking

God for another beautiful day

Can it not be anymore perfect? Hopefully this will last until Christmas..sometimes the weather teases us in November and our actual winter weather won't start until January. Florida can be an odd place to live in sometimes..just a couple of days ago the rain would not stop pouring from the sky.

This week has got to be by far the most insane week of the year for me.

I've had my rough moments but never had I thought that a chain of bad events would happen to me. But like a close friend told me the other day, "you've got to have a couple of bad days to make the great ones greater".

I also believe that to live a blissful life you've got to think continue to think positively as well.

Anyway, I hope the rest of you all had a better week than I..and possibly an even better weekend. Looks like I will not be getting any rest for I am in the midst of planning for an exciting event this Sunday. Wish me success! :)

I can't remember much from this past weekend after the relaxing day I had yesterday. As promised, the beautiful weather arrived just in time for yesterday's BBQ. Food + pool time + close friends, what more can I ask for?

the weekend has finally arrived!

2009-09-04T16:03:00.008-04:00

Hopefully this weekend will promise me clear skies (good enough for sunglasses) & windy weather. Have a fantastic Labor Day weekend!

take me far away from here

2009-09-03T22:41:00.004-04:00

I would love to go away and spend maybe a year in a small quiet village. Imagine having everything you want right next door to your home: bookstores, cafes, bakeries, restaurants. These quaint alleys definitely beat the ones that we have here.

rainy day + michael buble

2009-09-01T17:46:00.006-04:00

Michael Buble has quite a voice! He provides the best music to listen to on a rainy day...

Hello there! I apologize for my absence this past week. Everything happened so quickly during these past couple of days that it's all a blur to me now. I'm just glad that everything is over and that I can move on with my life and focus on other important aspects of my life.

Speaking of life, mine seems a bit empty now that everyone's gone. It's always nice to have friends from out of state visit, I'm going to miss them a lot! Please come back again soon. :)

quality & authenticity

2009-08-13T11:18:00.002-04:00

I'm currently re-reading one of my favorite books, Entre Nous: A Woman's Guide to Finding Her Inner French Girl. And here's an excerpt that I think most of us can learn a thing or two from.

She Values Quality and Authencity

My friend Frédérique embodies that very French principle of quality over quantity. She has an almost singular precision in the way she dresses (a closet full of just the right clothes), in what she owns (things with meaning, things that evoke memories), in all the things that inhabit her world. Even objects that are propped up against a corner or thrown onto the floor of her country home (a battered hoe, a pair of muddied, well-worn boots) have a certain particularity about them, as if they were each imbued with a soul. Less is truly more, as long as it's an expression of quality and authenticity. She resists the expendable, the disposable, the trendy, the faux. She knows that having too much choice does not necessarily give her more ways to define herself. She prefers the singular wild flower to the pre-made bouquet. The small car to the big machines. She invariably buys one perfect high-quality dress and not several less satisfying, on-sale ones. And she instinctively knows how to mix and match with natural creativity.

The French girl's preference for quality over quantity ties directly into her ability to say No: No to excess in people, things or ideas; No to what doesn't grace her world. Quality over quantity is not just about material things. Who inhabits her world, who feeds her mind, who's allowed into her private garden? The French girl would rather spend time alone than with people who simply fill a void. As Frederique puts it, "Give me Proust or a good short story over idle chatter any time."

ohh la la

2009-08-12T16:55:00.006-04:00

Currently in search of my inner French girl and how to attain that 'je ne sais quoi' that French women seem to have.

new york city

2009-08-12T03:39:00.003-04:00

So I may have been a bit dramatic in my previous post when I said I didn't want to visit NYC anymore. Every trip I make up there gets better each time and as much as I'd like to stop going up there, I can't. The one thing that's got me craving for more NYC is the shopping. If Orlando had more good and affordable one-of-a-kind stores then I wouldn't have to be in this situation. But I suppose one more trip wouldn't hurt..it's always nice to spend more time with my out of state buddies.

happy {early} weekend!

2009-08-06T09:15:00.008-04:00

Hello there. I just wanted to write something quick before I leave for my next trip. Hopefully this will be the last of my NYC trips. Not that I hate New York or anything but I should really start traveling to new places, you know? This weekend should be interesting since it's going to be just the girls. Lets see what crazy things we're going to do this time..

I hope that you find yourself in many adventures this weekend.

Au revoir!

5 lessons about how to treat people

2009-08-04T19:16:00.000-04:00

-- Author Unknown

1. First Important Lesson - "Know The Cleaning Lady"

During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

2. Second Important Lesson - "Pickup In The Rain"

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.

A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home.

A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."

Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.

3. Third Important Lesson - "Remember Those Who Serve"

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "50¢," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "35¢!" she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.

When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

4. Fourth Important Lesson - "The Obstacles In Our Path"

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand - "Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition."

5. Fifth Important Lesson - "Giving When It Counts"

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her."

As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you"

"Wine makes every meal an occasion,
every table more elegant, every day more civilized."
~ Andre Simon, "Commonsense of Wine" ~

* Relax with a glass of wine
* Snack on cheese & crackers
* Play romantic jazz & blues in the background
* And enjoy the rest of the night with a great conversation

Such a cute and uplifting movie.
Just add a teensy bit more humor into it and I would give it a B. >.<

Growing up I've always enjoyed watching Disney's movies, and though I've missed more of Disney's traditional animation and story lines..I'm starting to become more comfortable with the Disney & Pixar collaboration. I suppose change is a good thing when the world we're living in now is evolving in a more innovative direction.

Disney*Pixar should really be thankful for Michael Giacchino, who has composed scores for movies such as The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and of course Up. Without him I don't think the movie would of been as enjoyable. I like listening to music and seeing how they blend in so well with the film.

And here's the music to some of my favorite scenes:

Track 3. Married Life
Track 4. Carl Goes Up
Track 15. Stuff We Did

It was just a matter of time.
Looks like I'll be okay after all. :)

It feels good to be back home.

There has also been some rain here and there and it looks like it's going to continue for the rest of the week.

What a great start to summer school..

I better find my umbrella soon!

happy weekend!

I'm promised myself this year that I will carry my camera around at all times so that I do not miss a beautiful moment.

the fashion show

2009-05-13T00:45:00.010-04:00

When I first heard about Bravo's new fashion show I wasn't interested in watching it at all. But after flipping through the channels during a commercial break I decided to give the show a try and I was quite impressed of how the first episode has caught my attention.

Just when I thought Project Runway had taken all of the fresh designers in America, The Fashion Show has gathered an even more cutting-edge bunch.

I give the designers props on their first Harper's Bazaar challenge by transforming a regular cotton black t-shirt into the iconic little black dress. My favorite dresses were designed by Johnny & Merlin. I look forward to watching Merlin and what crazy ideas he has next.

This is my favorite old coffee mug that I got on sale for $3 at Hallmark! The details inside the mug are too cute.

my little cup of sweet delight...
fill me morning, noon, and night.

I could spend hours in these libraries! Aren't they beautiful? They kind of remind me of the library in Disney's Beauty & the Beast.
