Moments, Movement, and Time


Good Lord!  

It's been nearly 10 months since my last post.  After such a long absence, I'm feeling a bit shy -  awkward even.

Hmmm...
What to say?
What to write? 

Does anyone need me to say anything?

Have you ever been in a situation where you should've said something, but didn't?  

You waited...............The moments stretched____________________ and became time.  

And as time passed, it became more difficult to speak, it became easier to remain silent.  After a while, you decide some of these moments no longer matter, and let go.  Others, you might choose to carry around with you.

In regret...
As a lesson...
In remembrance...
With love...

Holy shit.  I have no idea where this post is going, just bear with me.  I can remember a particularly whiney conversation I once had with someone about my lifeand after letting me go on and on this person stopped me and said, 

"Listen, we all have stories.  I was slapped as kid.  In my country, we were ALL slapped as kids.  It wasn't a big dealyou go on.  What's happened to you in life does not matter.  What matters, is how you choose to go on"


Which brings me to the here and now.  I just remembered that when LIFE happens, I need to go on.  

I had forgotten.



With Love
Tess.

Robert Pattinson Makes an Impression... Literally

Dear Rob,



Just as my admiration for you was cemented a long time ago, your stardom is now written in stone. Now all you need is me... and your life would be perfect *wink*


Getting dirty and looking good...


I love a man with a little dirt cement on his hands


Random Observation: I see a heart in your palm. Must be mine ;)




Congratulations. I am so very happy for you.



That's it for now.



Love,

Tess

I Flew Home With Robert Pattinson

Well, sort of...

While en route from to Chicago to Hong Kong, I noted that Water for Elephants was part of the inflight movie line-up. This was the up side. The down side was that I was flying economy on a crappy airlinesso choosing which movie I watched, and when, was not an option.


First up was Woody Allen's, Midnight in ParisI didn't hate it. Next, was Thor. Now as much as I love a good Norse myth movie (??), and admired Natalie Portman in The Professional, she never turned out how I thought she would [and I watched that for Jean Reno anyway]. Seeing her simper onscreen for Chris Hemsworths' Thor really annoyed me so eventually, I nodded off.


The next thing I know, I hear Rob whispering "I'm confessin' that I love you" in my ears, and the following are actual thoughts that I had in the order they occurred:


'What?.. you tell me now? I'm half asleep'

'Finally. Thank you God! *high-five* I knew you'd come through!'

'Hmmm…what a lovely way wake up'

'Oh God, I hope my mouth isn't open'



At that moment my eyes fly open, I see his face before me and I couldn't help but smile. Because even on that tiny, plastic, drop down panel... he takes my breath away.




Yes Rob, Not even archaic modes of inflight entertainment can hide your hotness.



Thats it for now.



Love,

Tess

Yogurt... Bringing Sexy Back

Singapore is an odd little island.

Pornography is illegal, yet prostitution is tolerated as long as it's done within registered brothels and not publicly solicited on the street. Most young women wear skirts barely skimming their a**es, BUT statistically, Singaporeans are consistently in the bottom 3 for sexual activity.

Not only are Singaporeans having sex less often, but the population is aging. The situation has become so dire, the government now offers married couples a monetary incentive (called the Baby Bonus) to have more children.

This is why I *giggle* when I see local product advertisements like the ones below.





Seems a shame that someone went to all that trouble laying thousands of tiny tiles and no one's getting get's it.


Craving yogurt,
Tess
