a smooch goodbye to a stubborn year
no celebration for me as tonight I’m going to an extra class I just registered for and it ends at 10pm and I’m not going to spend my time yawning in a car with the bad traffic anyways. probably will be lounging around with my best friends playing on the playstation and going nuts over home made muffins and butter cookies + loads of ramly burgers. happy new year to everyone and...
Holocaust 'greatest' love story a hoax →
I don’t really mind, though for the first few seconds reading the first para I felt I was scammed but knowing that how much I love Edward Bloom of Big Fish, it doesn’t really bother me. most great stories are mostly embellished anyways, and we apply it to our lives too. we tend to forget the unimportant events in our lives and sometimes we focus on things that we expect to happen, or...

today I passed by in front of your house and saw your red car. you said “before I die I want to go to Atlanta” but you never did you were strapped with cancer in your bed. My mind is still strapped to the thoughts of you though I made myself blind from the pain. Today I bought me a pack of my 20s first cigarettes and maybe if I got me a lung cancer then I’d be happy to die the...

someone somewhere used to know my 6 digit pin
November came and left. December will too. I’m sitting here telling myself not to overthink that it has been a month since I heard your voice and seen you smile but I’m wearing your shirt and I have your picture on my desk. I’m listening to the song you recorded on my 22nd birthday so now I’m smiling as if everything’s okay. ever since you left I can’t stop...

I guess it is hard trying to love someone who disagrees with everything. especially when she starts each conversation with her negativity, a frown or a bitter face and especially when she starts each sentence with a “no”, “it’s not that”, “I don’t think so” when all she means is a yes but that’s just the way she makes her point & she...

intimate commotion #45
I’m grateful that I have everything I need and now everything seems to be in order and life, for the first time (bear with me but we all feel that way right? like something feels that it’s happening for the first time but it’s not. it’s like for the first time after that something bad happened to me. get what I mean?) turns out to be too good to be true. like you know, you...

before I flip a new calendar
2008 was a year living in a killer sandstorm, I got out of the country more than twice, I escaped for three vacations to fix a broken heart, and failed. I fell in love and fell in love and fell in love, still pretty much in love. I stood up and fought for something I believed in. I bought more books than I ever imagined and still want more. I made a lifetime commitment gained back my ruined...

i measure my priorities with a damn ruler
it appears that I am also, like everyone, the victim of society’s acceptance and approval. I have to write up a personal statement (with a 4,000 character limit) which is going to be the best bullshit ever written about my intentions, life purposes, what happened in the past and what I decide for my future. seems like a piece of cake anyone can make except that this time, this bullshit...

i somehow contemplated this;
I cannot believe that I spent 336 hours of my life thinking about dropping out of school, just for the sake of going against the national education system. as always, my bestfriend came into the picture and made a mess of the plan I had neatly placed in my head and said, “you do this and you’ll be sorry. you’ll regret it. I swear.”
