Autumn's Twilight

Summer's finally going to be over..

the blazing heat, the dryness..
my very first real summer is quite unbearable..

Everything left in sunlight burns when I touch it..
esp my steering wheel, seat belt..

Now it rains a little more at least..
and the days get a little shorter.
and a little cooler as well..

Et tu, mon amor?

That's been my MSN identity for a while now.

Friends have been asking me what it means.

Explained it quite a number of times so far.

Time to put it down here permanently.

Et tu is Latin, for 'You too?'

It's taken from the play Julius Caesar (based on a true story), where Caesar gets a knife in the gut from his best friend and trusted confidante Brutus, and says the immortal words, 'Et tu, Brute?'.

It's infamous for being one of the most famous betrayals in human history.

Mon amor is French for 'My love'.

See where this is going?
