Mummy I'm Scared...

It was late. Mummy came in and tucked little Marina into bed.

“mummy, i’m scared of growing up.”

“Why?”

“i don’t want to get into bad things… i’m scared. because i know that’s what grown-ups do. they always get into difficult situations. but i don’t want to. i like how it is now. i don’t want to grow up..”

“But you’re going to have to grow up no matter…”

“can i choose not to, mummy?”

“No you can’t… just like how you can’t stop the sun from rising, or the river from flowing, or people from dying. You will have to face problems everyday when you're grown up. But you will learn to deal with it.”

“but i don’t want to… what if i fail? and can never ever find my way out…”

“You will, sayang. I will be here to guide if you need me.”

“promise?”

“Promise...”

“goodnight, mummy...”

Mummy gives Marina a peck on her cheek and vanished into the darkness.

Bonus Jonas!

I've found new love in music - the Jonas Brothers!

I was combing around for new sounds to please my ears with. Then I came across the Jonas'. I thought why not give them a chance. So I listened and found myself liking what I was listening to. They somehow remind me of Hansons, a three-man sibling band. Very pop/rock. Not exactly chart-topping, but I like it.

One room full of Stories

I have a dream of (if I'm rich enough) to have a library of my own.

I want to be able to spend at least 2 hours every day sitting in a sea of books. I want to be surrounded by knowledge, englightenment, and stories of the world. If given, I'd like to sit in a roomful of books forever and ever knowing that there are so many opportunities and so many things to learn from in the room.

There would be a soft, comfortable cushiony chair with an arm rest (possibly from IKEA) in the middle of the room exclusively for me. Then everyday I would come and sit, and read a few things as I let my imagination wander by itself.

I would have my own little sections, namely:

- Happy (for the happy stories)

- Sad (for the not so happy stories)

- Stephen King (for stories by SK)

- Life-long learning (for books that help me learn more about life)

- World culture/mythology/history (for learning and uncovering more of the world's secrets and beauty)

- Work-related (for things that might be useful to my work, if I work)

- Misc. (for others not stated above)

Then I should I have a shelf-ful of DVDs in the library as well. At one side of the room, is a mini entertainment corner with projector and screen, DVD/VCD player, and a 5.1 surround sound system. Wooooooo.

My own little world to escape to, I like.
