Being Again

9 April 08:A dates cake we bought from a cute vendor at the Warrandyte market when I was with my aunts in Melbourne.

I felt ecstatic. Longer than a moment but shorter than infinity. The unbounded freedom I felt as the soft evening sun kissed my face. The air; it was mildly cool. As cool as [...]

In My Shoes

Happiness is overrated. And seriousness should make a comeback.
Physically, I’m busted. Emotionally, I’m drained. Mentally, I’m screwed. There ought to be a point of time in life when you shouldn’t even need to, want to or bother to explain. Yet, you still do. But what hurts deeper is when your silence opens up a flood [...]

Desperately Seeking City

I just arrived home after three days in Melbourne helping S & S move, inhaling the wonderful fumes of the city and having some restless sleeps. My mind is not at its clearest. But then, it has always been foggy.
Located on a central location in the city, the apartment where S & S moved into [...]

That Girl (Not Available) Part 2

Ladies & gentlemen, babies and elephants, lovers and enemies,
When I said that I’m not available, the computer decided to do it for me. I’m currently sitting in front of the house’s TV, hook up to the CPU to type this entry and return messages because the monitor died. Dieded. Just as well. Sigh.
But behold, I [...]

That Girl (Not Available)

Sorry for all the phone calls and messages I did not return.
Sorry for not being there enough lately.
Sorry for not keeping up with our appointments.
Sorry for my erratic state of mind.
I’ve been absolutely swamped. I’ll make it up.

Meggity Meg told me about this song.
Now it becomes my favourite too. At least right now.
Enjoy the rest [...]

Maverick

I know a lot of things are said of and about me. I know a lot things about me are assumed. I know of all the sarcasm directed to me, directly or indirectly.
I’ve been trying to be happy. I really did and I really am. Circumstances are, unfortunately, not always on the optimistic side of [...]

Aren’t We?

Melbourne Airport, 12 April 08, photo edited for added contrast; Waiting for my flight home from Melbourne, I found a quiet spot to read and listen my iPod. When I was adjusting my earphone, I looked up and saw the reflection of a man with an American accent pacing up and down talking on the [...]

Staring Back

If it seems like I’ve been away, I was away.
Spending a week in Melbourne with my aunts, I was thoroughly spoilt with food and good company. Needless to say, Asian food was high on the menu. I’ve eaten nothing but Asian food and aunts’ home-cooked meals. Except for the one day at Bridge Road’s [...]

Here’s To Life

There’s something romantic and poetic about autumn.
Even the word, autumn, sounds romantic.
The falling leaves, golden and red,
Twisting and turning and fluttering in the wind,
Showering the earth that I walk upon,
Achingly beautiful.
Autumn Leaves / Jacintha

I’ve been enjoying the days as it is. There were times when I became a little bit emotional. There’s no suprise there. [...]
