"Folk lores, tales and legends are alway fascinating for me."
For people who've been having bad dreams, let's make yourself a dreamcatcher!
I'm a kind of person who's really into good luck charms and this kind of things. That's why a dreamcatcher attracts me so much. Its shape, its decorations and the story behind it, they are all so captivating!
"Dreamcatcher" is a kind of charm against nightmares, originated from the culture of a native american tribe called Ojibwe.
The legend has it that a dream catcher is used to catch bad dreams,letting only good dreams pass through to the sleeping person. All nightmares will be trapped by the web and will be destroyed by the morning sunlight.
Interesting, isn't it?
So let's make !
Here are the things you need: a ring
(which can be made by beding a clothes-hanger into a circle form),
flax lace or suede lace, beads and feathers.
First, curl up the hanger into circle.
Then, wrap around the ring with the lace.
tie the web. Row by row.
Decorate the ring with beads and feathers
Finally, Hang it above your bed and say goodbye to bad dreams!
Remember, magic is everywhere.
Enjoy!

In search of Inspiration
This is the second entry that I write about music. I can't help it as music is another thing I can't live without and they are all so inspiring in many ways.
To define myself a bit clearer about my taste of music: I love music that inspires me. And I just don't know why music from motion pictures or tv series has so much magic on me. Maybe it's because of the atmosphere that this kind of music brings; you know, when you hear the song from your favourite movie, it can bring back the air from the movie, the dialogue, the faces of the characters, etc. They will all come back to you. And I find that feeling quite fascinating.
TV series are ultimate unlimited sources for that kind of music that I like. For my teenage life that I've always been a couch potato and I've been stick to some of the most acclaimed tv series in my years. One Tree Hill, The OC, Grey's Anatomy, Smallville and the most recent one, Gossip Girl.
These tv shows are the sources of all kind of music, from indie to pop-punk to electronic even ambient and spiritual music.

Some people might be looking for some kind of therapy for their weary souls.
Some try retrail therapy, letting money wash away all worries.
Some try alcohol, letting the chemistry in their body lead them into a wonderland of thousands of fireflies and blur images.
Some try music as it's considered the first-aid of all malaises.
Some try driving fast car, books, eating, etcetera.
I am also among those "some" who are trying to find a peace of mind. And I've chosen 'film therapy'. To me, I breath inspiration, I live inspiration and I love inspiration! So when there are few to find in real life, I turn to films.
The time when you watch a movie is like spending 2 or 3 hours watching the lives of the others. During that time, you'll be allowed to forget who you are for a moment. At first you'll be left in an exotic land with unfamiliar people and foreign melody in the background. Then, little by little, you'll become accostumed to those people, places and music. You'll hear their words, understand their ideas, and finally learn their lessons. And in the ends those people will lead you back to reality with new concepts in your mind about whatever thing you've been looking for. You'll hear the sound of the ending and it will keep sounding in your head for a long while.
That's the sign of the arrival or inspiration for me.
Interesting, isn't it? This kind of therapy.
Now if you are looking for some inspirational movies, I suggest you try "Elizabethtown".
Everything is there for you; exotic places, inspiring people and music.
In search of a good soul remedy such as inspiration, you'll need a good map. With one in your hand, you'll never get lost!
"Don't forget, 60B!"
What about you? Tell me in what movie you've been wandering to find inspiration.
Enjoy the show,
Eva S.
