A forbidden fruit tastes sweetest

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to talk to you about a very interesting topic which you will enjoy. I will talk about the phrase a forbidden fruit tastes sweetest. This is a phrase which we are all familiar with. How many of you have been tempted to do something eventhough you have been told not to? I’m sure you have. This is just what “A forbidden fruit tastes sweetest” means. It is when you are forbidden to do something you get more of a desire to try it out. This applies to Kids, Adults and even animals. But today I am here to speak on how this very interesting phrase refers to us kids. From our small ages we were very inquisitive of our surroundings. I’m sure you would agree. If we weren’t we wouldn’t be able to adapt ourselves to everything around us. Therefore when our parents say, “DON’T DO THAT”, “STOP!!!! BEFORE YOU HURT YOURSELF”, “NEVER TOUCH THAT AGAIN.” We will be tempted to find out what it is like as it is “forbidden” and we think it would be a worthwhile experience but it doesn’t turn out to be a fairytale ending. Let me relate to you one of my personal experiences which is quite a hilarious one eventhough I didn’t find it funny at first. I really loved parties; I bet all of you do. I tried my best never to miss one, but one day I got the news that my friend’s birthday party would be tomorrow, so I asked my parents and guess what they said….. “No, son our car is being serviced so we don’t have any transportation.” I asked them if I could go in the bus but they said, “NO WAY, YOU CAN’T RIDE ON A BUS.” I was not a guy who was used to the outdoors therefore I have never ridden a bus. So……… I wanted to experience it and when my parents said ‘no’ I felt a greater desire to ride a bus, so I came up with a plan. I pretended I was going to the party with one of my friends but I got on a bus and I was off. Let me tell you, it was THE…………WORST experience in my life. I had to stand as there were no seats left. I was squashed flat by the amount of people. Someone spilt a soft drink on me when the bus came to a halt and with all this commotion I missed my stop. When I got down I looked at the sign. It said Colombo 7 which was 5 kilometers from where my friend lived. “Why me” I said to myself. I had to call my mother and apologized for my mistake and asked her to take me home. Wet as ever I was taken home. Fortunately my shoes (which were nike originals) weren’t wet or damaged. From that day I learnt not to follow the forbidden fruit. Well now I jolly well know how to ride a bus mind you. My advice to everyone is not to follow the forbidden fruit. It can be tempting but you would end up being squashed and wet like me. Well….not squashed and wet but something gruesome might happen to you. That doesn’t mean that you don’t have to permanently not do anything but as you grow up you will have to do it and find out how to manage it.

Thank You

Kebab

...som vi så deles om. Kebab kan findes på diverse retter, som sagt pitabrød, pizza, alene, rullekebab osv. Jeg tror ikke der er nogen grænser for, hvor man kan benytte kebab. Men dressing er et must, når man spiser kebab. Nogen bruger chili, men ikke mig. I hvert fald ikke om sommeren, men sommetider om vinteren, så man får lidt ekstra varme. Min ynglings er nok pita kebab, da det er den billigste, mest smagfuldt og efter du er færdig med kebabben, kan du spise brødet. Og jeg tror specielt det betyder noget, at du kender ham der serverer din kebab. For jeg kender en del som ikke har den samme oplevelse som mig, da jeg kender Omar der står og serverer diverse kebab retter i frikvartererne. Han er en flink fyr, som altid smiler og siger: Heeey min ven!...

Memoir

...“This will be a life changing experience! I promise!” she said, rather ecstatic. “Sure. Sounds great, I’ll be there.” I had just agreed to a church related event that would have me locked in for 3 nights, I might as well sound happy about it. At least as happy as one would be in a high school math class, there are not many things that can change the inherent boredom of such place. Mr. Flores did his best to keep us focused, but hardly ever accomplished it. I never had much trouble with math, so I could afford to deviate my attention elsewhere. This usually meant chatting with whoever was close, which brought me to the fated “…I’ll be there.” that sealed my agreement. I cannot deny that I was extremely curious as to what this event was. I had heard of the Arcoiris youth group, I knew some people in there, but I did not know what it was about, other than the fact that it was related to the Catholic Church. None of it mattered at the moment, all I wanted was to go back home and relax after hours of being in school. The portion of my day that never failed to bring joy to me was the end of the school day, and this was only elevated as we approached the last day of school. I hurried to my car, a vanilla-colored 1997 Ford Explorer. The sun showed his mark on the paint. The missing handle on the pilot door and small scratches and bumps sprinkled throughout all amounted to a truly unremarkable vehicle. Of course, it was dirty, as it often was. The sky was always quick to respond to any...

...Hip-Hop is a cultural movement that was formed during the 1970’s among African American youths residing in the South Bronx in New York City. Hip-hop is characterized by four distinct elements, all of which represent the different manifestation of the culture; oral, aural, physical and visual. The term is often used in a restrictive fashion as synonymous only with the oral practice of rap music. The origin of the hip-hop cultures stems from the block parties of the Ghetto brothers, when they plugged the amps for their instruments and speakers into the lampposts on 163rd street and Prospect Avenue; and used music to break down racial barriers. Since 1970’s hip hop has spread to both urban and suburban communities throughout the world. Hip-hop music first emerged when contemporary disc jockeys and imitators creating rhythmic beats by emphasizing a percussive pattern. It was later accompanied by a rhythmic style of chanting or poetry often presented in 16-bar measures or time frames, and beat boxing, a vocal technique mainly used to provide percussive elements of music and various technical effects of hip hop DJs. In the early days of Hip hop young partygoers initially recited popular phrases and used the slang of the day. It was fashionably for DJ to acknowledge people who were in attendance at a party. Early raps featured someone shouting over instrumental break, which would usually evoke a response from the crowd. Rap caught on because it offered young urban New Yorkers...

...Why is Anbe Sivam regarded as the best movie in the history of Tamil cinema by many? Did this movie have any story at all? First of all is it a movie? No. Anbe Sivam is an experience, not only for one Madhavan but for another few thousands, who care to learn quite a lot of things and feel conceited about themselves, but fail miserably to confront the vagaries of life. What was the movie all about? An experienced matured man and a squeamish, egotist but tender hearted youth (a typical modern day youth) travelling together from Bhubaneshwar to Chennai(East coast of India).Fate hinders their journey in all possible ways which Madhavan initially considers exasperating but later reveres as an experience of a lifetime. The story is as simple as that but the associated scenes,dialogues and the lessons learnt reverberate through your mind for a long time. Be it the floods,train accident or the little boy's death it is Madhavan who breaks down and get shattered. But Kamalhassan adapts himself and reconciles himself to reality and helps in the best possible way he can. While it takes a lot of effort for Madhavan to tell Kamalhaasan about his fraternal love towards him, Kamalhaasan finds it easy to tell 'A.Ars, you are a go(o)d man' (it's not that easy to tell it to someone earnestly). From where did Kamal get this maturity? The story moves into the flashback of Kamal,a communist, who loves the daughter of a capitalist, Nasser, whom he opposes as a worker regarding wages. When the duo...

...Blink Disclaimer: The characters and other things from The Vampire Diaries don't belong to me. Credit goes to the rightful owners. "Cute PJs." Damon said casually to Elena as she entered the room, twisting around something on his fingers, betraying his tension beneath the calm exterior.   "I'm tired Damon," Elena replied, a hint of warning in her voice as she watched him step closer. "I brought you this," Damon said dangling her necklace in front of her, his pathetic excuse to see her and know that she was safe. "I thought that was gone," Elena said in surprise, Damon shaking his head with the ghost of a smile on his face as memories flooded his mind, particularly when he held the same necklace in his hand, clasping it around her neck, refusing her challenge for him to compel an answer out of her. "Thank you," Elena continued reaching out for the necklace but Damon pulled back his hand. "Please give it back…" she said as fear crept into her eyes, unwillingly as her mind automatically recounted that fateful night. It played in her mind—how she walked in and found him, just like tonight, with that look in his eyes that almost made her run to him when he saved her. "I just have to say something," Damon said stepping closer to her, the words almost spilling out of him with urgency. "Why do you have to say it with my necklace?" Elena said instinctively pulling away from him as flashes of his urgent kiss, the anguish in his eyes and Jeremy dead in her arms. ...

...Unlucky Cupid ➶ Prologue ★★★ She is smart, HE's intelligent. She's gorgeous, HE's sizzling hot. She's popular, HE has huge resemblance to a world-wide known teen-age superstar. She's snob but somehow nice, while HE is the gentleman every girl will die for. Will rivalry cross their fate? Or Love will play their lives?

Or will He make the best or even worst out of it? ➶ Chapter 1: Interference /KATHERINE'S PERSPECTIVE First day of school, sigh. Simula na naman ito ng hectic schedule, little time, less fun, and whatsoever bothersome school works. Pero first day of school sometimes is not that bad, kasi usually pupunta ka lang sa unahan at magpapakilala. Orientations, introductions, chit-chats - yeah, that's pretty much it. Kaya on second thought, I'm going to enjoy this first day lalo na dahil makikita ko na ang aking mga hmm, how should I describe my friends? Loud speaker-like? Loquacious? Nah, pero siguro ganyan nga sila - love ko naman. Ew, korni ko.I guess back na kami sa routine namin. Si Lindsay, medyo brat, madaldal (as I've said), okay naman pag dating sa academics, mabait, at sabihin na nating medyo war-freak. Di sya close sa parents nya gawa ng wala lagi sa bahay nila. So ayun, siguro yun ang dahilan kung bakit parang naging "Play Girl" itong si Lindsay, in other way. Hindi naman talaga. Pero all in all she's one of a kind...
