This Christmas

This Christmas, winter has come early to visit. CNN reported London had its worst snow fall in a century. Flights are delayed if not cancelled, making it frustrating for holiday makers and business travelers to go home in time to celebrate Christmas with their loved ones. Thus, I'm worried. Weather in Frankfurt has been uncertain. I've been good this year, Santa. Please let me go home in time for Christmas.

Finally to Paris

I've waited a year. And finally, to Paris I go. But I was disappointed. Bottega, Chanel, and Balenciaga, you have let me down. Until next year. I will wait!

Impossible

"Impossible"

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did

And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worst
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know

Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know

And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible!
Ooh impossible (yeah yeah)

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did...

Cherish

In a world where money is king, and material things it's queen, people chase their dreams to earn their first million. And millions after. In the process of getting there, they sometimes forget who they are and where they came from. Like a horse with blinkers, they don't see nothing else. Some would even go to the extend to cheat, con and harm just to be up there. Why? Is money really that important? Is it so important, that you lose sight of those around you? You're absent. You stress yourself out and then lash out at the people who matter the most to you. You spend less and less time with your loved ones. And slowly, you just disappear. While you get closer to that goal, you get farther away from the things that mattered to you at the first place. Eventually you lose them. And then what? You made your millions right now. But you have no one to share it with. Only bloodsuckers that leach on to you to get a free ride. Take a moment, remind yourself, money and materials are something you can never have enough. You can work your entire life but you'll never satisfy that thirst for them. Be contented. Never compare. Remember how you got here. If not for the people around you, you won't be the person you are today. Cherish life. You may not have a second chance at it.
