addiction

Walking around Melbourne

Past all these cars

Past all these people

And into certain stores

I'm following

My nose

I eat with my eyes

I smile with my stomach

I have an addiction

 

 

 

Seriously.

zest

Food is porn.


When you're peeling a lemon, you're stripping it naked.


When you're zesting, you're just a tease.

wiry

The night was empty and cold tonight, the darkness shrouding everything not within five feet of the lamp posts. It was so quiet, the trees could be heard whispering gently in the breeze, and there wasn't even much wind. A lonely park bench stood timidly just under a lamp, but even it seemed to think it was not in a safe place to be at 10 o'clock at night.

Yet, a wiry, thin girl in framed glasses sat there, slumped with her shoulders bowing in and her chin pressing down on her chest. She was small, almost invisible in her brown overcoat. If someone was walking by (but no one would, at this hour and in this place), he'd probably mistake her for a pile of clothes abandoned in the park.

But she was there, eyes closed, mouth open with little puffs of air coming out. She shrunk into herself so much that it almost seemed like she wasn't there.

Maybe she wasn't.

paprika

Paprika is really pretty until you get it in your nose. Then it's not so pretty anymore.


Don't blow into it!

bamboo

Bamboo can be used for anything.

It can be made into strong, sturdy bridges.

It can offer nice housing.

But that's not even the best of it.

What could be more eco-friendly than a bamboo bike?

gazebo

The first time he saw her, she was in line for a coffee. He casually moved his friend away and smoothly took her order.

The first time she noticed him was when he couldn't seem to remember how to type her order in.

The second time he asked her out, she said yes because shyness shouldn't be a factor.

The second time she called him, he decided to memorize her number.

The first, second, third time he held her hand, her palms got sweaty.

Once in a while she would surprise him with a hug. It was nice.

The first time he proposed, she said yes.

The second location she took him to was a white gazebo. He thought it was perfect if they had flowers everywhere.

The first moment he slid the ring on her finger, she couldn't hold back her tears and a smile.

The only words she never had to say to him were the ones she always said. But he already knew.

bubble

To float away on a bubble may sound romantic, but you should think twice before sailing over a cactus field.
