    Some of the things I wish to unlearn

    I am not proud to have learned to hate people. Hate is an emotion I wish life, circumstances, and decisions never had to trigger.  I am not proud of feeling sick at the sight, name, and thought of certain people. I am not happy that a person can drive me to feel disgust because I

  • Letters I wrote but did not send

    Letters I wrote but did not send

    always articulated distance, a withdrawal. Darling, there are just as many ways of saying goodbye as there are ways of letting you go. The boat is narrow like the width of my heart after impossible loss, cruel resignation; — an excerpt from “Boats,” by Cyril Wong I. I sent you two letters a year ago.

  • A first day well spent (literally)

    A first day well spent (literally)

    It feels good to have spent the first day of January with my family — a visit to my grandmother — and then we went to Eastwood to have really early dinner at MyThai, sat two hours at Happy Lemon (with our tea, of course) just sharing stories, and then shopping for another two hours.

  • 2012 Success Plan

    2012 Success Plan

    I wonder what other people feel like when they wake up on the 1st of January. Or if they have expectations for the morning? Half of me feels like nothing’s changed but half of me also feels a bit hopeful knowing that 2011 is over, curse it (haha) and 2012 is a blank slate for

    And 2012 doesn’t feel much different…except in my stomach

    It’s officially the New Year in my timezone, and 2012 doesn’t feel that much different. Except that I sort-of feel a little fatter. Must be all the food, yeah? :P

  • 2011: That Unfortunate but Hopeful Year

    2011: That Unfortunate but Hopeful Year

    I guess I consider this my public timeline for 2011 with the memories that I could be more fond of. 2011: I have mixed feelings towards you. You have been a year of regrets, realizations, mistakes, anger, hate, and disappointments. I could have done without you. But there had been opportunities, moments of hope, newfound

  • 2011 Gifts Post

    2011 Gifts Post

    Here are some of my more notable gifts from 2011. Mostly gifts exchanged between me and C because I don’t really see other people to get (and receive) gifts much from except for C, haha. :P Again, things aren’t listed in any particular order. Also, I’d like to say that all the gifts I get

  • New Hair (and The Best and Worst of 2011)

    New Hair (and The Best and Worst of 2011)

    This is going to be one of the (possibly many) pre-2012 posts (and the first) that I will be making before the year ends. This is also an attempt to use internet memes on my personal life, but I may get it wrong (which is why I’m just posting it here and not on 9Gag!) You

  • End-of-the-year Tagaytay Datetrip

    End-of-the-year Tagaytay Datetrip

    I’ve been wanting to get out of the city for a long time now, and I’ve honestly been feeling sick getting cooped up in the middle of all these buildings and of everything familiar. I confessed to C that I wanted to just get a ticket to somewhere and then fly out spontaneously, without plans
