This text was from a chain mail I got from my mom.
My mom LOVES sending chain mails to people that she thinks are true facts or involving a consequence if she doesn't send the post to people. Overall she is just really superstitious.
Anyway I have been trying to keep my blog as positive as I can. I think several people think I am so aggressive so hopefully this week I will last and I will just post light texts.

I think this words (above) are so beautiful even if I don't know how I will pronounce half of them.
Therefore I decided to post them here on blogger because I want to share it with everyone.

Meanwhile these are my followers for May 4 2010 on Tumblr.

I am actually really happy with these results!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!
