as it is












above were actual photos of Coco Chanel whilst she lived. i grew curious about her looks and started milling around the internet. glad to emerge none the disappointed. the movie itself would have made for a very outstanding marketing campaign.


"...it is very sad that she apparently never realised that the way to close relationships – to love – is to love unconditionally, without reservation, judgment or deception. We never achieve the ideal in our human relationships, corrupted as we are rebellion against God and thus tainted by pride and selfishness, but this is what we must aim for. The alternative, as Coco shows, is to rely on a constructed image, which cannot finally satisfy us."

better to lose your ego to the one you love than lose the one you love because of ego, or something to that effect, is rather poignant as i've experienced.

one of the first close friend of mine is getting married today at the art house. i'm feeling a mixture of emotions. but would still like to congratulate the couple, Anya and Firuz. a sincere toast to a lifetime of happiness.
