hurrying home!

i have a strong preference for old people when taking portrait pictures. i love those wrinkles, because these wrinkles be-speak of so much wisdom that has accumulated in one's life over time.

LIU UNG, one of my favorite short story writer said once that when subject of the beautiful are nigh to perfect, they are not at the grandest splendor of display of beauty. Rather, those slight imperfections, those wrinkles, those seemingly contradicting to what we have perceived as beautiful are the ones making the subject more powerful, more beautiful, more cutting to the heart of perception of beauty.

Joshua Harris, the author of these celebrated books like, I kiss Dating Goodbye, Boys meet girls, without a hint, said in one of his book that whenever he is tempted, when confronted with a beautiful lady and the moments of nigh to yielding to lusts. He began to imaging her how she will look like 50 years from now. Well! i have tried that.... i guess it does not work for me. ay.... it is so hard to be single.... and above all--to be pure and blameless.

God help me.
