Early Christmas Present for me
I received the highest compliment in my life last night. Had it been said by someone else, it would sound romantic and flirty. But coming from someone like him, was once a diplomat, it was more of an honor to be given such a flattering remark. I can tell by the way he said it that his intentions were for me to appreciate more of myself.
At one point of our conversation, his point of views sounded like Paulo Coelho, my favorite author. It was an incredible conversation. It felt like meeting Coelho in person. I have come to realizations and earned wisdom from him. I wish to live my life that way. Like his. Like Coelho’s.
His last compliments were that I was like a jewel in a box, radiant once you opened it. He hopes that that would put a smile on my face when I think of it. And last night, it sure did.
Don’t you want to know how you are?
I already know… And it has nothing to do with what you can see happening in my body, it’s what’s happening in my soul.
- Veronika
“Veronika Decides to Die” by Paulo Coelho
An absolutely brilliant joke
A woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, ‘If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.’ The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, ‘Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get ten times of it!’ The woman said, ‘That’s okay.’
For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, ‘You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to’. The woman replied, ‘That’s okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me.’ So, KAZAM - she’s the most beautiful woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, ‘That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you.’ The woman said, ‘That’s okay, because what’s mine is his and what’s his is mine.’ So, KAZAM - she’s the richest woman in the world!
The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, ‘I’d like to have a mild heart attack.’
Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don’t mess with them.
Attention female readers, this is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good!
Male readers, please continue reading.
The man had a heart attack ten times ‘milder’ than his wife!
Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they’re really smart. Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show.
PS. If you are a woman and are still reading this, it only goes to show that women never listen! 
So why do you still hope?
Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.
- “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho
Over and over again… it’s STILL that one song
I didn’t notice
But I didn’t care
I tried being honest
But that left me nowhere
I watched the station
Saw the bus pulling through
And I don’t mind saying
A part of me left with you
One of these days
I won’t be afraid of staying with you
I hope and I pray
Waiting to find a way back to you
Cause that’s where I’m home
Did I make you nervous?
Did I ask for too much?
Was I not deserving one second of your touch?
One of these days
I won’t be afraid of staying with you
I hope and I pray
Waiting to find a way back to you
Cause that’s where I’m home
What would you do if I could have you?
Oh if I could
I’d let you feel everything I’m thinking
Wouldn’t that be nice?
One of these days
I won’t be afraid of staying with you
