[SANTORINI] oo3. LIVING ON THE EDGE
![[SANTORINI] oo3. LIVING ON THE EDGE](https://viktoriajean.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/p1050915.jpg?w=1024)
Sitting on the edge of Santorini’s peak, the dormant volcanoes that we can see are silent with power. The calm blue sea emanates with trillions of years of being. This sense of awe in the face of earth’s grandeur captures what each of us essentially are in the grand scheme of our universe – mere specks of…

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
“I guess humans like to watch a little destruction. Sand castles, houses of cards, that’s where they begin. “ I love this book even as I’m sucked into the throes of its deepest tragedies. Even as I’d watched the movie midway through the book, I was unprepared for its ending. Nazism, constant bombings, war-torn countries…

This video was taken (by Ulrica!!) during one of our last few vetting sessions with April Rodriguez, Joesar Alvar and Pat. It was a flurry of costume changes (twice during the 5-minute item), and running…

Boho-Chic Week: Khalid & Bridges
Tired of wearing a dress that’s ‘so last season’? Fashion pieces that never go out of style – oh, if only. Now let’s think, which fashion fad never seems to die? Boho-chic, it seems, has its influences lurking in all the sneakiest ways. Drawing on bohemian & hippie influences, Boho-Chic began in the 1960s. Its…

188. “I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”
As much as I love tea parties & amazing pastries, I prefer staying out of sunlight. Unless I’m with Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat. “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is,…

185. come with me
Enjoy the last day of 2012, everybody! Time to shed old baggage and lighten up. Start each year afresh, perhaps? By truly believing that every year will be better than the last, half the battle is already won. “Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering ‘it will be happier’…” ― Alfred Tennyson
