“There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends. As much as I’ve looked forward to this day, I’ve always disliked endings. Last day of summer, the final chapter of a great book, parting ways with a close friend. But endings are inevitable. Leaves fall. You close the book. You say goodbye. Today is one of those days for us. Today we say goodbye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable. We’re moving on. But just because we’re leaving, and that hurts, there’s some people who are so much a part of us, they’ll be with us no matter what. They are our solid ground. Our North Star. And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us, always.” — Alexis’ Graduation Speech, Castle (via quote-book)
“Courage is confused with picking up arms and cowardice is confused with laying them down.” — Mitch Albom (via quote-book)

When the sodium chloride dissolves into the pineapple it will break apart into sodium and chloride ions.
The sodium ion will then react with the malic and citric acids present in the pineapple to form neutral sodium salts.
Acids normally have a tart or sour taste but when they are converted into neutral compounds they lose this sourness, and so the pineapple tastes sweeter.

“Just for today
Do not get angry
Do not worry
Be thankful
Work hard
Be kind to others”

“Perhaps love is a minor madness. And as with madness, it’s unendurable alone. The one person who can relieve us is of course the sole person we cannot go to: the one we love. So instead we seek out allies, even among strangers and wives, fellow patients who, if they can’t touch the edge of our particular sorrow, have felt something that cuts nearly as deep.” — Andrew Sean Greer, The Story of a Marriage (via helplesslyamazed)

“Most importantly, if you can at all avoid it, don’t be normal. Strive, burn and do everything you can to avoid being the industry standard. Even the highest industry standard. Be greater than anything anyone else has ever dreamed of you. Don’t settle for pats on the back, salary increases, a nod-and-a-smile. Instead, rage against the tepidness of the mundane with every fiber of whatever makes you, you. Change this place.” — I Wrote This For You: The Defiance Of The Different (via kari-shma)

Halo-halo
About a week ago, I was brought to a province somewhere in the Philippines and in one of the restaurants we dined in for lunch, we were given this popular Filipino dessert to end our meal. Served inside a buko, it was the damn best halo-halo I’ve ever tasted. I enjoyed it so much that my travel buddies found humor in me eating 2 servings.
