Awakening

So, yesterday i had watched the movie entitled "Awakenings." Its a movie based on a true story where a doctor discovers the beneficial effects of the then-new drug called L-Dopa. He then administrated it to catatonic patients who survived the 1917-1928 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica. The patients then start to awake from the catatonic state they have been in for years and finally begin to walk, talk and just live. This film was really moving and i cried on several occasions. It really opens up yours eyes and makes you appreciate what you have. Deeply moved me and if you like these type of movies, I suggest it to you. I believe it made my all time favorite movies list.

"His gaze is from the passing of bars so exhausted, that it doesn't hold a thing anymore. For him, it's as if there were thousands of bars and behind the thousands of bars no world. The sure stride of lithe, powerful steps, that around the smallest of circles turns, is like a dance of pure energy about a center, in which a great will stands numbed. Only occasionally, without a sound, do the covers of the eyes slide open-. An image rushes in, goes through the tensed silence of the frame- only to vanish, forever, in the heart."

smile and enjoy the simple things in life.

Color

Lately I've been wanting to try out some new nail polish. The colors of nudes and pastels that appeared on the 2010 runway are my all time favorite. I can't wait to try them out. Below are some colors I want to buy:

How Simple...

Well, today I had gotten the chance to finally see one of my very good friends. We walked home together and because of the scorching hot day; we got ice cream. After just simply walking, laughing, enjoying our sugary goodness and tanning under the hot sun; it really hit me how little one needs for happiness. To be genuinely happy we need so very little; love, laughs, adventure. Just a smile, a good word. Yet all we do, as humans, is ask for things. Wanting. Always. Weather it may be materialistic or physical. We always require something to make us happy. Well, what we think will make us happy, not what actually does. Just walking along the hot pavement with the bright sun in our eyes; I felt content. Just talking about life and making jokes; I felt happy. As If I didn't want anything more; just a friend. And laughter. How ridiculously simple.

I got the shoes!

So, I had just come back from doing a little shopping with one of my very dear friends and made an amazing purchase. I got these wonderful shoes that I had literally wanted forever and ever! To be honest they are a little hard to walk in and a little high but how i adore them! They are so wonderfully Victorian which i love so much. Can't wait to pair them with the outfits i have lined up. Have you lately made any wonderful purchases?/What are you going to buy next?
