Child of Wings and Green Splendour

A poem for my all-time favorite anime character, Van Fanel from The Vision of Escaflowne.



Child of wings and green splendour
Born of twisting fate and predestination
In your vein flows the blood of a fabled race
Inhabitants of land, water and air.

Days of cloudless childhood
Ended so bitterly soon
When one passed away
And two vanished without any trace.

A land of simplicity and hidden beauty
Engulfed by flames and burned to the ground
Blood awakens the heart of a sleeping dragon
To fight for what's left and rule the majestic skies.

Child of wings and green splendor
Hands are blood-stained but your heart is wounded
It conceals the pain of living alone
In a dark and war-torn world.

Everything was lost in the hands of a manipulated fate
Hope came but it stood so far away
One lost heart, always on its own
It's still your will that determines the fate of this world.

My happiness really comes from within, and it's something that I have that no one can take away from me. This year has been really remarkable. I discovered and learned so many new things. We started our very first business venture, which is our perfumery brand, and of course, next year, we will be starting our tutorial center. Never did I dream or wish about venturing into business. It was something that I did not like before nor had any interest with. I thought I'll just be a teacher forever, and will be "institutionalized" just like the rest, and will live the rest of my life in the service of the 'institution'. At fi

Sensual Zodiac: The Cancer Woman

I found a rather interesting article about women born under the zodiac sign Cancer. I was born under this sign. You are among the people most likely to: Cry after making love. Why? Because Sensual Cancers are among the most emotional and sentimental people in the Sensual Zodiac. Secretly, people wonder… Are you real ­ or are you really a fairytale princess come to life? So soft and so sensual, you are like a slice of sunlight brightening up every room you walk into. Your sweet smiles, graceful ways and expressive eyes make you look staggeringly beautiful. You are a joy to watch on the dance floor. You glide when you move and when you laugh it sounds like a thousand violins gone wild. Your eyes reveal so much about you… …your richness of emotions, hopes, joys, passions and insecurities. You long for protection. Your shell is that secret place you retreat to. You don’t like mean and you don’t do ugly. Perceptive, Intuitive and Insightful You have the ability to absorb nuan
