run

once you told me of this little miss. this one adorable woman-child. you spoke of how when she laughed rainbows filled the sky and she danced amongst moonbeams to melodies trapped in her head. you described how her eyes shone like the last sliver of sunset on a sunday evening. i could only imagine this [...]

growing up not growing old

so i turned a year older some time last week. it always seems a little preposterous that this day is supposed to be some climax/culmination of a whole year’s worth of personal and professional growth. i didn’t feel particularly grown-up last week as compared to the previous 364 days. and after my midnight antics, i [...]

never letting go

i am reading this blog i kept about yen. yes, of course it was a secret blog. it was all the rage back then, dahling. now, we’d rather die than be anonymous. and, no, i didn’t quite much fancy the world reading about how i was was steadily losing both sanity and dignity. i was [...]

you made me happier than

it’s been almost 2 years, but sometimes it’s as if i never managed to get past the third step. i’ve already brushed off the many instances of denial. i’m grateful that i still remember. while other ‘important’ memories have been relegated into overly-simplistic bite-sized pieces, you still live in my head. and sometimes, i like [...]

yawnie

i wonder when my writing became so sterile and boring. i blame it all on all the brain-numbing btl items i’ve ever had the bad luck to write for. or maybe it’s simply because this is so forced. the domain purchase has been made so the only logical thing is to fill it up. probably [...]
