As a kid I loved to make paper planes from old sheets of paper and day dream about becoming a plane designer. That’s what put me in the way to my actual studies, that drive me crazy some times and make me daydream even more. But I’m glad my childhood dream was encouraged instead of despised as a fantasy by my family. I had so many dreams as a child I don’t remember all of them, I only know some became real, some are in the process, and some where nothing but building castles on the clouds fantasies. And now that I’m slightly more grown up, I try to keep dreams alive, and put some more into my “treasure chest” of fantasies. The point? Dreams keep you going! Don’t stop day dreaming.

Communication \Com*mu`ni*ca”tion\ (k[o^]m*m[=u]`n[i^]*k[=a]”sh[u^]n), n. [L. communicatio.]: Intercourse by words, letters, or messages; interchange of thoughts or opinions, by conference or other means; conference; correspondence.

Communication is very important to me. I need to keep in touch with my family, my boyfriend, my friends, my boss, my teachers… Luckily now we don’t depend on letters only (which I love, btw), but have phones, and computers. Yes, I own two phones, one for when I live in Spain, and one for when I live in Belgium. And you can see my preciousss my laptop that is my main mean of communication (e-mail, irc, various IM programs..) and of work too.

Bond \Bond\ (b[o^]nd), n. [The same word as band. Cf. {Band}, {Bend}.]. That which binds, ties, fastens, or confines, or by which anything is fastened or bound, as a cord, chain, etc.; a band; a ligament; a shackle or a manacle.

Boundary \Bound”a*ry\, n.; pl. {Boundaries} [From {Bound} a limit; cf. LL. bonnarium piece of land with fixed limits.] That which indicates or fixes a limit or extent, or marks a bound, as of a territory; a bounding or separating line; a real or imaginary limit.

As I tie the cord, only I can set my own bonds and limits, and undo them as well. Thus, the only limits upon me are those I myself put. Lets not put any limits to whishes and imagination, let the soul free to be.

Armor \Ar”mor\, n. [OE. armure, fr. F. armure, OF. armeure, fr. L. armatura. See {Armature}.] [Spelt also {armour}.]: Defensive arms for the body; any clothing or covering worn to protect one’s person in battle.

Ok, so what have my sunglasses to do with armour, you ask? I use my sunglasses to shield myself against the outer world. I use them not only to protect my eyes from the sunshine, but to hide the mirror of my soul from strangers. I’ve always been told my eyes speak more than my words, and sometimes, I just like the “anonymity” they provide.

And this is the first post of the ABC series. I’ll try to find a pic for each letter, most of the times in a symbolic way.
