When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

I’ve learned that the word “goodbye” is a contraction of the phrase “God be with ye” and the word purloin means steal.
This geekery is brought to you by the dictionary app I recently downloaded in my iPhone. Heehee. I wanted to have an electronic dictionary but since I’m banning myself from buying things I want but don’t really need the free dictionary app would suffice. =D
The absence of an answer is an answer by itself.

Love is an ocean with invisible shores. Even if you don’t know how to swim, don’t be afraid to jump in the water.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
