I’m sure I’ve mentioned this already in previous entries, but there seems to be a wave of philosophy among interior designers today wherein there is preference for the fusion of aesthetic appeal and functionality instead of just choosing one or the other. I am a proud believer of this concept and I apply it whenever [...]
Frodo may have been small of stature, but he was tasked with the greatest burden of all to carry the ring of evil to Mount Doom and destroy it. Still, can you imagine if Elrond let Frodo Baggins leave Rivendell without the Fellowship of the Ring being formed? He would probably not have made it [...]

Such sinful commission may not come from the wanton, intentional, or deliberate desire to commit this sin, but sometimes interior designers such as myself can’t help but shake their heads in disapproval [...]
Great people are those faced with responsibilities that normal people are incapable of doing. As such, these great people require special tools in order to accomplish their gargantuan tasks, just like how Aragorn, the true heir of Isildur, needed the great sword Anuril, forged from the shards of the Elendil’s Narsil, in order to claim [...]
