Inside a Heart that Blooms



Currently Listening to:
Vide Cor Meum
by
Patrick Cassidy
from
Dante's La Vita Nuova's 3rd chapter's sonnet on A ciascun'alma presa .
Performed by
Danielle de Niese and Bruno Lazzaretti
(OST: Hannibal)



E pensando di lei
Mi sopragiunse uno soave sonno
Ego dominus tuus
Vide cor tuum
E d'esto core ardendo
Cor tuum
Lei paventosa
Umilmente pascea.
Appresso gir lo ne vedea piangendo.
La letizia si convertia
In amarissimo pianto
Io sono in pace
Cor meum
Io sono in pace
Vide cor meum


*******

And thinking of him,
A sweet sleep overcame me...
I am your master
See your heart
And of this burning heart?
Your... heart... your heart
Obediently eats
Weeping, I saw him then depart from me
Happiest joy turns to bitterest tears
I am in peace
My heart?
I am in peace
See... my... heart...


~Dante's "La Vita Nuova", specifically on the sonnet "A ciascun'alma presa", in chapter 3 of the Vita Nuova.~

The Heart of a Butterfly


Currently Listening to:
Christmas Time Is Here
by
Alvin and the Chipmunks


I am curently having an frenzy obsession with EDWARD CULLEN from the movie and book (s) Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse/Breaking Dawn. And this applies to both the actor (Robert Pattison) and the fictional charater (in the book). It's kinda like a fantasy crush (like when I got all geared up for Orlando Bloom and Legolas - LOTR at the same time). It's not often that you have a crush on both actor and charater and hence the reason why I'm going all gaga now over Edward! :D


Love the movie (despite what Jenny-kins thinks) and in need of getting all of Stephenie Meyer books on the Twilight series (despite my kedekut-ness of spending money on books - i believe in reading for free in the corner :P)! I have not had such a desire in a long time. *Hint hint for Christmas* Hehe....



I totally love the character of Edward Cullen! And Robert Pattison made a fair note in portraying the handsome-cold vampire. Tehee... I love his devotion to Bella Swan in the book (s) - movie too, it's almost as if he came out of my dreams. And I'm not talking about the physical features here, but how protective, possesive and obsessive he is over Bella. Something just clicks inside me and these were the times you wish you were the female protagonist. You don't get many (cute) guys doing that now (at least not for long).



I'm definitely watching the movie again and getting all the books (reading online just doesn't kick in well with me - except for manga)! Again, *hint hint for Christmas*.... :P



The Potato is totally ANGAU now....tehee.


And it feels good to angau again.... :)

Hosanna in the highest!

En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor
by
Fernando Lima.


I wanna thank God for His ever faithful love and promise to me. He is ever indeed amazing and awesome! Praise be to Him! I find Him more real in in my life everyday and I am truly blown away by His presence, grace and works. Thank You Lord, for everything. You rock! :D

"If you are faithful to Him, God will be faithful to you. And His faithfulness is ever so sweet and amazing."

"Taste and see, for the Lord is good."

"I serve an awesome God!"

"Trust in the Lord, and He'll take care of it!"

"Let go of yourself, and God will guide/move/lead you."

"Look to Him and you'll never go wrong!"


THANK YOU JESUS!!!

In the arms of an angel....




To see the world in a grain of sand,

And heaven in a wild flower.

To hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

An eternity in an hour.


~William Blake~
