I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
- Frida Kahlo
In 1989, a little girl named Amy sent a bottle of colored water, oil and glitter to Roald Dahl, who knew right away that this was a dream in a bottle inspired by his book, The BFG. In response, the author penned this short note to his 7-year-old fan.
So lovely.
I love this so much.
Going to cry now
Ok I need to know where she got that bag from.
BEST SWIMSUIT EVER
My favorite fruit in the whole wide world! Philippine mangoes are the best in the world, I’d boldly say. There is nothing like it. Especially when it’s at its sweetest.
Unfortunately, we don’t have this here in Sydney. We do have mangoes in the markets and grocery, like calypso mangoes, but they’re not as good as the Philippine kind. (Some even have a coconutey aftertaste, which I find very strange.) More unfortunately, we’re not allowed to bring fresh fruits into Australia, lest we be featured as an offender on Border Security.
I couldn’t explain how happy I was when I found my favorite mangoes in the most unexpected of places— Hong Kong! My sister and I were walking along Nathan Road, and somewhere in between Tsim Sha Tsui and Mongkok was a fruit stand that sold this heavenly fruit. I couldn’t believe my eyes at first. But it was real and I had to have it. At $10 HKD a piece, I got myself two. That’s the price of a kilo or two in the Philippines, for just one piece in Hong Kong. But I wasn’t about to complain. I had waited for that moment for so long. I wasn’t going to miss my mangoes for the world. ♥
