It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if...

2012 Reading List
An incomplete dreamy list of books I’ll greedily read next year, half of it I own, while I still have to hunt for the remaining treasures. My to-read/to-finish books started to form a miniature mountain inside my room, it serves as a constant reminder of how sluggish bookworm I turned into this 2011 and I’m quite ashamed of that, I don’t say it often but it hurts my ego whenever...

New Year's Resolutions (?)
Shave my head bald or maybe semi bald - Like what I’ve said earlier, I’ve always wanted to know how it feels to be bald. I think it’s very unethical if I say that I’m going to shave my head if this post gained 300 notes, nevermind, I don’t need that much of attention. I’m going to, if I want to. (25% probability of accomplishment)
Review, study harder or...

I never expected that 2011 will be a rough year for me. I only read how many? 15 books, not even 20. 45 books shy compared to my supposed to be 75 books goal this year. So my resolution(s) for next year is/are:
Regain my previous reading pace back. I will read 80 books next year! (I read 50+ books last 2010.)
I’ve always wanted to know how it feels to be bald. So..
