Not putting pen to paper, with the sentences swelling in your head threatening to tip over; not capturing the very essence of the moment, savouring and consuming the intricacies that comes intertwined with the heartbreaks; not chronicling and crystalising that memory with a few well chosen words and lines and to let the cacophony of voices in your ( Read more... )

My boys = too sweet. I don't know what I'll do without them. Told them some stuff and they offered (despite internship and busy schedules) to accompany me / bring me out for movies just so my thoughts are preoccupied these two weeks. Esp Zak and Pres, stubborn as hell but ever so insistent on me complying with their plans. Thanking my lucky stars *

Found an amazing new graphic web-design site, at 04:26 in the morning. Not the best of things to do the night before school, but here's where my interest lies. Back in secondary school, toiling night after night over the sketches, working out kinks and formulating ideas, writing theses, synopses to justify the "one big idea.. I was never happier, ( Read more... )

"Maybe we’re not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human. Maybe, we’re thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we’re thankful for the things we’ll never know. At ( Read more... )

We lift veil after veil, and it’s only when we slip past a smile and meander through our cortex that we find something that we can truly call human. We’re built as natural defense mechanisms. We hide our ( Read more... )

Have been on this playlist on repeat these days. Came up w it for Tai- I think I mentioned some time back he's got horrible taste in music.. or something along those lines, and he's been bugging me ever since, hoho. What started out as a whim turned out to be a pretty nostalgic process. Like I tweeted "It's amazing how many memories are attached ( Read more... )

"People come as package deals, of course, and we all have to accept that this is always the case. Nobody comes without excess baggage. Though I must admit, my bf deserves an award for being secure in our relationship because when you think about it, I’m the one that travels the most and I meet so many people in so many cities yet I’m the one who is ( Read more... )

There's only so much you can do, to close the distance. So many friends you can salvage, before you realised we've all moved on. Doing my part and walking away, it's just not fair. At the end of the day, I know whose got my back, acquaintance, friend or whathaveyou and that's all there is to it. In all other news, I'm tired. Being emotionally void ( Read more... )

So between the last (unhappy) entries and this, a lot has gone on. I don't go down without a fight, and it took everything I had left and then some to get things back to a even a semblance of normacy. Made a couple of bold calls and confronted the issue headlong. Nothing's ever good left alone for too long honestly. Made the same call cos I felt ( Read more... )

"In my anger I am not blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid"
And to think a 12year old's capable of making such a speech. It's simple, concise yet thought-provoking. Wished I had her drive, or half the determination she had. 22 this year and what are we doing with our lives? (Transcript: http://goo.gl ( Read more... )
