Stress-free Sunday… just lounging on the bed… thinking about stargazer lilies and where I can buy them here in Sg. I like its vibrant color and seductive scent, instead air fresheners, these are natural room deodorizers that can double as house decoration. iLike!
Stargazer lilies are young, bold, beautiful, and dramatic. The meaning of these fragrant flowers can be one of wealth and prosperity, but their white variety can dress down to genuinely express purity and sympathy. -Proflowers

 | The lotus flower is one of the most ancient and deepest symbols of our planet. It grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck. |
We were talking - about the space between us all and the people -
Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpsing the truth
Then it's far too late when they pass away.
We were talking - about the love we all could share
When we find it - to try our best to hold it there - with our love
With our love we could save the world - if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself - no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you.
We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see - are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we are all one
And life flows on within you and without you.
Lotus flower: Symbol of Spiritual Unfoldment
By S.K.
Busy.
Physically doing nothing but my thoughts run deep.
Unfathomable.
Across a million miles and between micro structures inside my mind, I lose myself.
Calm.
My vision’s blurred by the immense light from within. I close my eyes.
It’s one cute movie that’s heart-touching! :)
In this crazy world of vanity where physical attraction is the main ingredient to gain admiration (or even LOVE), we sometimes lose ourselves just to “fit in”; to be accepted by everybody.
The movie captures the kind of comedy we see on Manga, cartoon-like and entertaining. :)

Takuro (Muga Tsukaji) - the main character, has a golden heart yet many people (those who do not know him personally) quickly judge him just because he looks ugly. They accuse him of being malicious and perverted. Even children laugh at him. His friends call him “Butaro” – where buta is japanese for pig, and taro, from his name Takuro.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Hiroko (Keiko Kitagawaa) - Takuro’s love interest. Well…who wouldn’t fall in love with her?
______________________________________________________________________________________
The solution to his big fat ugly problem!

Annin (Shosuke Tanihara), Takuro’s transformed body, is amazingly handsome! ♥
As viewpoints varies from one to another, the standard for handsome varies too but Shosuke Tanihara was able to turn in a convincing charming performance as the guy that has women swooning all over and yet retain that fumbling mannerism of a fat ugly desperate guy.
The movie is funny throughout in depicting Takuro’s adventures and experiences. You’ll find yourself laughing at his awkward transformation into a hunk and his bid to lead both lives.
In the end, he had to choose between the 2 physical bodies.. which one to keep, and which one to throw away? If you were Takuro, who would you choose?
Would you discard everything to pursue superficial perfection?
Is what is on the outside what ultimately counts?
Watch the movie to find out Takuro’s choice. ☺

I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.
~Pablo Neruda
