MEANING OF LIFE

Not scholars, not swamis, neither you nor I, have figured out the meaning of life. Or have we? The meaning of life is subjective. To make this meaning an "objective" reasoning is a mistake. Because life is a beautiful web of colours, of depths, of opinions, labeling the meaning of life as "this" or "that" is limiting the interpretation of life itself.

I have figured out the meaning of life--that is, the meaning for me. I believe I stand on this earth to thrive in peace, and to learn of love. However, the meaning of life is not definitive. Tomorrow, I might believe the meaning of life is something different and the day after tomorrow, something else.

It's futile to wonder about the meaning of life. This meaning is like a chameleon. As life changes, as we grow, as our worlds change, my meaning of life, yours, hers and his are bound to change.

Peace and Love, Always.

WOMEN WHO MAKE A STATEMENT

Mary-Kate Olsen
I love her boho-chic anything. Its not what she wears, its how she wears it and I love love that!
Marion Cotillard
She was absolutely amazing in La Vie en Rose. I loved her Oscar gown by Jean Paul Gaultier.

Madonna

I love how she's a alpha-female & she looks great for her age! 50!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

"I was waiting by the restaurant for a friend. I was standing under my pink umbrella. The rain kept pouring and pouring. Out of nowhere, I saw this beautiful man walking out of the restaurant. As soon our eyes met, I knew I would be spending the rest of my life with this man. It was love! It really was!"

You have heard this. It doesn't matter where--in the media, from your friend, from that person at that party. Or maybe, it was you. "Love at first sight" concept is not only utterly ridiculous, but also deceiving. It is almost obvious that to love someone, you have to love someone more than his/her physical appearance--maybe her thoughts, his passion for art, and on and on. Love is a much, much stronger feeling than a mere physical attraction. Thus, love at first sight is superficial and a completely empty emotion. I admit that all those stories about this so-called "love" sound romantic. But, I would rather listen to a not-so-romantic story which has weight, and some value. If you think it's love at first sight, it's not. It is simply a sexual attraction. Next time someone gorgeous passes by and you think you are in love, think again.

CULINARY ADVENTURES

About three weeks ago, I decided to get up and start experiencing foods from around the world. Along Meghan and Shivani, we decided to eat at Thai Kitchen in Irvine. The food was absolutely delicious. We all split the Ruby Siam and Pad Thai (of course). I am not the biggest fan of Pad Thai. However, I trust that the Pad Thai was exceptional because Meghan and Shivani loved it. Basically, Ruby Siam was heaven in my mouth. Spicy chicken in a beautiful red curry with cashews and lots of chilies. This comes with rice and a spring roll, too. To top it off, I had a Thai Iced Coffee. If you are coffee fanatic (like moi) then you have to try it out. I can safely say that Thai Kitchen is probably the best Thai restaurant I have come across. Service is great! The prices are reasonable. All the waitresses dress up in beautiful authentic clothes. Basically, if you want a little spice and are bored of frozen dinners, go visit Thai Kitchen and give your taste buds something to talk about.
