Some beautiful words

on Wednesday, April 8, 2015
I was browsing the internet and i watched a video by BuzzFeed and was really intrigued by its content. They were introducing some beautiful words and out of 15, i only know the meaning of like 4? Well, let's see what they've got!

  1. Effervescence: I thought this is a chemistry term because i learned it when i was studying chemistry in A-levels. Well, its meaning is bubbling. Yeaaa...
  2. Hiraeth: This i don't know and the pronunciation is pretty fun! A home that you long to go back but you can't. Quite a sad noun.
  3. Ephemeral: This to me is really beautiful but its meaning is not so- Lasting for a short moment.
  4. Incandescence: I learned it from Nicholas Sparks novels. He liked to use this word to paint the story a little romantic. It means a burning light or also colorful light bulbs.
  5. Limerence: Sounds like 'limo' to me hahaa! ''A state being infatuated by someone''.
  6. Somnambulist: Close, real close to the word insomnia and kinda make sense- ''Person who sleepwalks"
  7. Sonorous: Some deep sound if im not mistaken.
  8. Mellifluous: Sweet and soothing sound that's pleasant to hear. ;) 
  9. Aurora: Not those you see at the North and South.. it means ''Dawn'' ;D
  10. Phosphenes: Sound so much like phosphate but the meaning is totally different- ''Light and colours you see by rubbing your eyes''
  11. Epoch: You know right.. This word to me is so-so.
  12. Epiphany: First learned this from Andrea from The Walking Dead first season, hahaa! I still remember that she was scolding that old and white bearded guy using this word with a ''life'' in front! hahaa! "a moment of sudden revelation"
  13. Defenestration: This word is powerful but no so beautiful LOL! It means the act of throwing someone out of the window! Can't see any beau in this but definitely nice to use while arguing with someone.. be like ''i feel like defenestrat-ing you!'' and he doesn't even know what it means! Maybe?
  14. Petrichor: Owwhhh this is damn pretty. ''The earthy smell after rain" How is this not beautiful? I didn't even know there's a name for such phenomenon!
  15. Luminescence: Probably see this from a lot of places. I think i learned it from biology studying some microbacteria that emits green light.  

Learned something beautiful today.. "The sound of the falling raindrops is mellifluous and the arose petrichor got me into epiphany thinking although it's ephemeral." Not sure if this sentence is written correctly but well, it's still an attempt! :D

Ohh, remember that i said i'm going back jogging and marathon.. I got this last week by getting the forth place in a 5km open adult walk, nice beginning!
