“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-8

Bad News - Kanye West
Putting me in the correct frame of mind for my thesis. Just don’t ask. Yet.
Do you have an awesome love story?
Or perhaps just a perfectly average one? Because I’d love to hear it. It just may end up as part of my Illustration thesis! Answer in the box or write me a letter :)

Photo of the Day: When her fiance abruptly called off their wedding to marry someone else, Li-Wan — still in her wedding dress — climbed onto the window ledge of a building in Changchun, China, and jumped off.
Luckily, a local care worker named Guo Zhongfan managed to grab hold of the distressed damsel’s neck at the very last moment, thereby saving her life. She was eased back in by several helpful strangers.
“I did what anyone would have done,” the modest hero later told reporters.

RE: Previous post
You have me convinced. And if I ever ended up with a girl who writes, I’d probably lose my mind out of excitement. The descriptions of the events in our relationship would be far more exciting to revel in than the events themselves. We would give our children middle names like Jules (Verne), Chinua (Achebe) and Doctor (Seuss). Her hands would be her most attractive quality; her fingertips weathered and strong from maneuvering many-a-page corner, yet smooth and elegant in their motions as she takes care to preserve the delicacy of any stock of paper.
Dating a girl who reads and writes would be a dream come true.
Public Prom Invite of the Day: Jason Pitts wanted to ask Lianna Cohen to the prom, so he did what any normal high school student would do: He surprised her during 3rd period with a special prom-invite song he wrote just for her.

This guy wins. Now I wish there was prom in university. And that there was a girl I wanted to ask. And that I had the balls to do anything about it.

Heartbeat (Valentine’s Day) - Paul Chin
It brings me the GREATEST of joys to unveil the first single (free download here) from Age of Atlas. With the phenomenal Michelle Willis on backing vox and Silexz dropping wisdom on my favourite topic, I wrote this track to bring encouragement to my fellow humans who also experience chronic hopeless romanticism. There are worse things than being single; on V-day or otherwise :)

BESTIE DAY:
A few years ago I was in Tokyo on Valentine’s day with the husby and while there, I learned that Valentine’s day is just the beginning of a cluster of holidays! A trifecta of confectionary-as-symbol-of-affection-or-ambivalence holidays begins on Valentine’s day, when the girls give…
I want Japan’s version of Valentine’s day instead of the Western world’s. The west always manages to make things difficult for me.
