A Bit About e-Bomb

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;
For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." ~ audrey hepburn



I AM a 25-year-old with a 52-year-old’s heart not of jade, but gold.
I AM a student on a break to experience life’s sweet, sour, bitter and spice. Of course, I am going back – I’m not giving up on my master degree. But who better to teach me the secrets of life but me?
I AM a philosopher whose philosophies are her scars.
I AM someone constantly looking for new ways to be alive.
I AM loyal to love.
I AM a principle-oriented person, who actually naively believes that the world should operate in a certain order -- justice, commitment, love and empathy ... these are some qualities of my world order.
I HAVE an insatiable hunger for knowledge.
MY heart and mind are ONE.
I AM trying not to be a self-absorbed person.
I AM an open-minded person, who practices empathy everyday.
I BELIEVE in science and the magic of life that science missed.
I BELIEVE in the power of thought.

I ALSO BELIEVE in sunscreen, chapsticks, cell phones and the Internet.
I WANT life in every breath to the extent that it's absurd.
I AM a fan of the little things in life.
I AM not so into shopping.
I DO NOT BELIEVE in romantic atheism.
I AM a light unwavering, even in the strongest of winds, in the darkest of nights.
I AM a bearer of hope.
I AM an Untouchable.
I AM a survivor, a fighter and a winner.
I AM the strongest where it's been broken.
I AM lucky.
I DO NOT BELIEVE that possessions should define a person.
I AM still waiting for Mr. Right, for undying passion, for all the things that my brain tells me no.
I AM a painter with words.
I BELIEVE that life has no guarantees ... and that's what makes everything interesting.
I AM a photographer of small things.
I WANT to mean something to people.
I AM crazy and cannot be tamed … just wanting someone just as wild to run with.
I AM a phoenix that rises from the ashes.
I AM a fish that senses the currents; I AM the black panther of the night; I AM the dolphin that heals and the penguin that transcends.
I AM water that fills voids, but powerful like crashing waves.
I AM fire that glows, that heats, that shines.

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away." ~ "Sex and the City"

"Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you are to become who you will be." ~ "Sex and the City"

"Be true. Be alive. Believe. And always fall standing." ~ EYS

"The definition of success: to laugh much, to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give one's self, to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition, to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived -- this is to have succeeded." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson



"One day, you'll ask, 'Did I make a difference?' ... Life is calling. How far will you go?" ~ Teach for America

"Be the change in the world you want to see." ~ Gandhi

"There's something to be said about ignoring what other people say you CAN'T do, and just doing the basics." ~ Brian McCarthy, my Marketing teacher
