Amor Aeternus

Love forever.

Love is such a precious and wonderful thing so we want it to be perfect. We are all looking for the “one” that we are willing to spend the rest of our life with. We wholeheartedly believed that destiny had lined someone up for us and we all want that person to be what we envisioned in our heads. We want to offer our love forever to our “ideal soul mate”.

My ideal girl is a product of my collective mind procured from my deepest desires and imaginations. The woman of my dreams might be proven to be “too fabricated and perfect” but why not let a man live his fantasy for once.

Others might call me sexist by putting attractiveness at the top of my list but we can’t deny the fact that we still value in high regards the outer beauty of a person. Finding a beautiful goddess as a partner won’t hurt you but what I personally value is the inner attractiveness. I want a girl who has a personality that really matches with mine. I am not saying that I want a total reflection of myself because that is some narcissistic ideals but what I want to say is that I want her and me to be a perfect fit.

                                     I Came, I Saw, I Fell In Love

I want a girl who understands me. As I wish her to be as pop-culture obsessed as me, the most important thing is that she will hang tight even with all the awkwardness that comes along with me. I want her to understand my introverted language and not merely tolerating or entertaining it. I don’t care if she is as silent as me or as loud as me on twitter. The thing that I care about is that we form a special bond together.

 I want a girl to support me beneath my glaring flaws. In each of my twitter rants, I want her to be my helping social media supporter. In every mawkish moment, I want her to be as sensible as possible. I want her to be my helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, and other figurative body parts and I will be the same for her.  I want her to appreciate me from who I am and I will do the same to her (which totally breaks the point of making this “ideal girl blog” in the first place).

                                Beyond The Horizons Of Our Love

 In the end, my concept of an ideal girl lies far beyond the border of fiction. If she exists, she might be my greatest character yet. If she doesn’t, she might be my greatest inspiration yet.

Love forever indeed.

‘CARPE DIEM’

The vibrant progressiveness of New York City behind its most famous landmark, the Statue of Liberty

                The great peaks of the Swiss Alps in Switzerland

                The beautiful scenery in the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy

Know its meaning or not, chances are you already heard that phrase and it aptly means “seize the day”. I don’t exactly internalize “carpe-diem” as my mantra in life but I am trying to seize every moment of my life and nothing shouts “living life to the fullest” more than travelling and in this case, creating a blog about travelling to my dream destinations.

Here is a personal list of my dream travel destinations.

1.)    New York City, USA

Who doesn’t want to go to the land of the free and the home of the brave? If the idea of being in the United States of America is not enough to catch your attention, the vibrant attractions of NYC like the popular Times Square, Big Apple, and the Empire State Building will instantly hook you. Personally, I have my own intentions on going to NYC as I wish to figuratively jump at my T.V. and visit lesser-known place like the 30 Rockefeller Plaza where my favorite shows were being staged.

2.)    Zurich, Switzerland

A list of travel destinations is not complete without visiting Europe. As a promise to not be a cliché, I want my European tour to be in the icy caps of Switzerland specifically in Zurich. If you are seeking for an adrenaline rush, you can head to the Mount Pilatus to ride the world’s steepest funicular railway and go skiing and hiking. If you are hungry for local culture, you can visit the Swiss National Museum and the Grossmunster Church. If you are like me only wanting a quiet and quintessential experience Swiss style, you can trek to the Swiss Alps and enjoy a tranquil moment at the summit of a scenic mountain. Besides, weed had been decriminalized there not that it matters.

3.)    Italy

Two-hundred eighty-six words in and I quickly broke my promise. This place was popular on the lists of dream destinations for a reason. With the historical landscape of Rome and the romantic ambiance of Venice to the stylish grandeur of Milan, you will be magically enthralled to create a piggy bank labeled “To Travel The Most Magical Place on Earth”. I can’t bring myself to choose one city to visit as I want to reach every corners of this majestic country to experience the rich culture of Italy. From what I heard, they also have the most delicious pasta dishes in the world.
