“One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez was one of the novels that we had to read in our undergraduate “classical literature” class (13 years ago). We read this as a class and discussed it. At the beginning, all the Spanish names in the book were very confusing to follow, especially who was talking when. However, at the end I loved this novel because of the fascinating story. I had to read many other novels in my two English and two literature classes but this book was the best. I still remember its main character Ursula. May the soul of the writer of this novel (Gabriel García Márquez) rest in peace.

Last two years we watched fireworks from home, so we went to see the fireworks yesterday at the park about 2.5 miles away from our house. I drove around the park but didn't get any parking, so I double parked on a street next to the park and took a quick video (linked...
Special Someone
Though I was never cruel to anyone other than using wrong words my softer side was seldom revealed for I never met someone who cared to look under my hard surface. In fact, I never got enough love to open my heart to someone. Most of the times, I was misunderstood, so...
