Taiwan day four (winter)

Started off day four at hello kitty cafe as it was raining and we had no choice but to cancel our trip to jiufen and shifen sadly but well I guess it may be a blessing in disguise afterall as we managed to find somewhere else to shop instead.

Pretty cafe and set-ups at one of the sogo! 

Apparently we spent almost the whole noon shopping at zhongxiao underground mall which is linked from zhongxiao fuxing to zhongxiao dunhua and the night time exploring ximending (I was once again too lazy to capture more visuals) and ended the night at holiday ktv for an insane singing session which made me lose my  voice on the last day of this trip. Stayed tuned for the last post which I'll try to update soon (:

Tickled pink

Meet the ninja boy who kept emphasizing on how comfy his hoodie top is and playing with the hood just like a kiddo!

Now meet the girl who likes to show the peace sign and anyway I love my tribal denim top a lot :>

Caught wreck it ralph on a not-so-typical wednesday noon, dinz at indulge for the very first time (the pasta was pretty tasty for its reasonable price) and I was so ecstatic that I can finally satisfy my cravings for some rose and french chocolate macarons C: 

Hope y'all will have an awesome weekend ahead, cheerios! 

What love is not

Love is not what the movies and hit songs tell us it is.

Love doesn’t hurt. If it hurts it’s something else. Fear. Attachment. Idolatry. Addiction. Possessiveness.

Love is all selflessness. It’s the opposite of need and attachment. To an individual it’s a sensation of allowing, rather than seeking. Letting go, rather than grasping.

Love is subtle and silent and delicate, and in its beginnings it can be drowned out easily by attachment, lust and fear. Love must have space, and force is what crowds it out. Love is powerful but it isn’t forceful.

A lot of us grow up thinking that to love is simply to want very badly. It’s hard to be sensitive to love when you’re overrun by desire. Love isn’t something that can be done badly, if it’s love at all. Desire can happen at the same time as love, but it’s not the same thing.

Jealousy isn’t love, nor is it evidence of love. Jealousy is fear. Love doesn’t drive people mad, it drives them sane. Desire, in its different forms, can drive people to do anything. Love never drives people to kill or steal or cheat or worry.

Love is bigger than you. To love someone is for their happiness to be the same as your own.
