Of course, I appreciate it and will love to hear from you in the future.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I don’t think there’s much room for a decision here (papparazzi will be pestering Leni (me) whatever I do). So, the million dollar questions here would be: <BR/><BR/>1) Do I really love him?, And if so: <BR/><BR/>2) What would I do for love? (which Ed asked me in the sci-fi post and I answered ‘all kinds of stupid things’). <BR/><BR/>Would I accept to sacrifice a part of my privacy for the love of Ed? (BIG QUESTION, isn’t it?) And if I wouldn’t, would I regret it for the rest of my life? (Even BIGGER QUESTION. That’s what I ask myself when I have a super size dilemma like this one).<BR/><BR/>There are only 2 possible answers ‘yes/no’. That could be the key to the rest of my life.<BR/><BR/>Stay tunned. I will try to exercise my carpe diem as much as possible –as you should too-.<BR/><BR/>Sweet butterfly kisses 4 u 2.Leni Qinanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787813168299836381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199873995156498311.post-64375029784970675032008-09-30T08:26:00.000-02:002008-09-30T08:26:00.000-02:00TRANSLATION CRABTREE/LENI:Crabtree said…Leni Qinan...TRANSLATION CRABTREE/LENI:<BR/><BR/>Crabtree said…<BR/><BR/>Leni Qinan, you’re not dangerous, you’re romantic!<BR/><BR/>The prosecution in town (of a beautiful lady) by the paparazzis! “I thought you had wings to fly”!<BR/><BR/>There is no silly profession, but silly people…!<BR/><BR/>’Mademoiselle!’ said the boss to the secretary, ‘as I read the letter that you gave me to sign, I’m asking myself two questions. <BR/>Firstly: what have you smoked before tyyping this? <BR/>Secondly: I wonder if you still have a bit of that…<BR/><BR/>The boss greets the new gorgeous secretary and says to her:<BR/><BR/>-Ok, now you need to pass a little test before you start working: if I paid you 12.000 francs per month, and deducted an 8%, how much would you get?
