bang trim, and a trip to the antique shop

Today was a lovely day. I went and got my bangs trimmed. They were getting so long. lol! Instead of the side swept bangs, I decided to get the straight across kind. I think they turned out ok. ^^ Then after my bang trim, I went over to this little antique shop that is in my town, and browsed through it. They have so much delightful antiques there. I happened to stumble across two treasures there that I fell in love with! The first one was a huge poster of a girl in the woods circled by little dancing fairies by her feet!! I thought it was absolutely adorable, and a beautiful picture! I just had to get it! Its so mythical and fantasy like. ^^ I'm not sure where Im going to hang it in my room though. I'm thinking over my bed. The second thing I found was a really old book. It's called Burning Sands. I was intriged by it, because it had old photos in it, that looked like they are from a silent film. And the book looked intersting as well. I've never read a book like it, so I am excited to find out the story it holds. So today was a finding of treasurs, and hair cuts. haha! Tonight I am also going out with my best friend to an Asian Fashion show. I am really looking forward to it. ^_^


There is a quote at the bottom of this, but its hard to read in this pic. Its says, "Dreams are a the touchstones of our character" I love this! Its so pretty. :)

This is one of the photos from the book, I love it! Though its hard to see it in this pic, my camera isn't very good.


Yay bangs! ^^

Parasite

Some times I feel like I'm a parasite. Im sucking the life from his body, but I can't let go, because he's apart of my life that keeps me living. He wants me to be somthing differen't, maybe oxygen, which keeps his heart beating. But I am a parasite. I can never be what he wants. A parasite can't have that kind of relationship. Im watching him wither, watching his smile fade, as he waits and hopes, but I don't turn into air, his heart is breaking, and he's finding it hard to breathe.

Sorry, that probably didn't make any sense. I suck at analogies. lol. Any way, it is pretty much about this guy that likes me, but I don't like him back in that way. He is a really great friend, but I just can't see myself dating him. But I still really care about him. :( He asked me out a while ago, but I told him I didn't have feelings for him in that way. But even though he knows that, he is still trying to win me over. I don't really know what to do. Because he's been getting depressed and cold with me lately, because I wont return his feelings. Its just hard to watch. I don't want to lead him on, and I don't want to lose his friendship either... what should I do? :(

The other side of the world

So as of lately I have really been starting to get into the French culture. It is really beautiful, and I love the language. I found this song the other day and absolutely fell in love with it, and the music video! Its really quite enchanting. ^^ I hope you enjoy it.


L'autre Bout Du Monde


The other side of the world (translation of L'autre Bout Du Monde by Emily Loizeau)


It's said that the weather's always good
It's where the birds migrate to
They say that
About the other side of the world
I walk alone in the fog
It's decided, that's it, I leave
I'm off
To the other side of the world
The other side of the world (x2)
I arrive on the banks of a river
A voice calls me then is lost
It's your voice
On the other side of the world
Your voice, which tells me my precious
All this time, I was not dead
I lived
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world (x2)
On the river it rains gold
In my arms I hold your body
You are there
On the other side of the world
I rejoin you when I fall asleep
But I want to see you again
Where is it
The other side of the world?
The other side of the world (x3)

I really found this music video enlightening. Its was strange for me to think about women from all over the world, that they might be dreaming about the other side of the world. I often dream about that too. Or in fact a new world. lol! but its still interesting to think about. Like what life is like for other women in differen't countries. I want to learn more about other cultures. I think for the longest time, I was limiting myself, only to Japanese, because that was the first culture I became interested in because of my introduction to anime. But as of lately, I have also been learning more about the Chiniese culture which is really intersting too, and now I am finding myself really interested in the French culture as well. I can't wait to see what new things I will discover and learn about as I reach to the outer sides of the world.

First Entry!!

Hey Everyone!! I'm so excited to start this blog up. :) I had originally started one at www.freewebs.com/merina-sky, but it wasn't going so well. lol. So I decided to start one here. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you come back in visit. In this blog I will pretty much be posting things about my life, or things I enjoy, or love. I'll post lots of pics too. I love vintage and fashion, and poetry and art, so I will probably be posting a lot of those things as well. :)
