Autumn Leaves

Over here in the tropics there are only two seasons: rainy and dry, so that keeps me appreciating autumn. Who would not like distinct colors! Many beautiful stories, poetry, visual arts, lovely lyrics are inspired by this very charming season.  I grew up listening to Matt Monro (parents are fans), and I remember quite well the horrified look on my mother's face when she found out I listened to heavy metal (in my early youth). "Where has your taste for class and beauty gone, Hazel!" Well, now Ma, stop shaking your head because it's back, and it's your top-quality sweetheart Matt Monro!

The lovely images featured on this clip also remind me of that Sweden autumn picture on our living room wall. If I am forever bewitched then so be it.

Great song and beautiful imagery. Isn't funny how in our youth we clash with our parents when it comes to music only to find that years later, we find an appreciation for it. I think my mom likes The Cure now. lol

Thanks for the Music Monday shout out! :-)

Oh, my gosh this is the second blog that did an Autumn theme and the music was so soothing it made me want to nap! I love pick me up music but every now and then it is nice to listen to soothing, relaxing and peaceful music. Thanks!

Watch out for the urchin

Friends and I went island-hopping last year. My phone was changing indications of where we were several times. Names are difficult to read, much less remember. The main island where we hopped from is called Koh Chang or Elephant island. We went to five islets each taking about 15 minutes to reach. In a stop one of my friends encountered a sea urchin. They say a pee would cure the sting. I don't know if it's true. Another thing I heard about urchins is they could sense and would crawl towards human presence. Probably for more prickly attention? Although sometimes paradise has a price, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, the weather perfect and the breeze was just what our city-dwelling lungs needed. All is well. *** My World Tuesday is brought to you by Klaus and the My World Team Sandy , Wren , Fishing Guy , Sylvia

Answers through pictures

Genebei invited me to do this picture tag. I must admit I had a lot of fun doing this. It took me a long time though to find Google images that are royalty free or NOT subject to copyright. I don't mean to be boring but I have to be wary of this thing. When I searched for photos I did type copyright free photos of .... (I claim no ownership of these images. I am not in any way selling or earning from these photos). Now for the instructions: "Use Google image to search the answers to the questions below. You must choose a picture from the first page of the results, and post it as your answer." 1. The age of my next birthday 2. Place I'd like to travel to 3. Favorite food 4. Favorite place 5. One of my nicknames 6. Favorite color 7. College major 8. Name of my love 9. Hobby 10. Bad habit 11. My wish list Have fun everyone! --------- I mean innocent fun :)

Pretentious Diet

Our Weekend Memoirs: Dieting on Eggs Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The chinese guy selling noodles in front of 7 Eleven also sells eggs. I wanted to buy some but he was busy with his customers and I couldn't wait. Back in front of the pc, a recent report that Margaret Thatcher's pre-election victory diet included 28 eggs a week had me reading more than I normally would big news. She is said to have told an interviewer that she had "no special dieting regime." Her pocket diary, which was released by the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust seems to have revealed otherwise. But don't we all sometimes like to keep others wondering? The Iron Lady's husband though gives it to us straight and cool. When asked "who wears the pants in this house?" He replied, "I do. And I also iron them." This anecdote is exactly what I thought of while my southeast asian ass err... blood was quivering in the London cold as I stood on this famous street. Then M...
