Yesterday, I’ve read an article called My Body Doesn’t Belong To You, where the author shared her story of being harassed on the road, probably because of her huge cup size.

There are times when I just want to be alone. When I just want to tuck myself under my blanket and read a book for hours or until I fall asleep. These are the times when I don’t want to talk to anyone, even to myself. I just want to lie down and let my … Continue reading If You Only Knew
I entered the office this morning with a bit of anxiety from yesterday’s nerve racking shift. The kind of shift that will make you say “I love my job” just before you close your eyes in the night so you’ll wake up with a little bit of optimism to move forward and get through another day. … Continue reading Word War
There's this one girl in the island that everybody laughs at. They said she has a loose screw on her head. She is quite strange in a way. We all are anyway. She does a lot of mistakes and fails to complete her tasks. But who does not? She is often misunderstood because of her communication … Continue reading Finding Comfort in a Loose Screw
On my flight from Manila to Singapore (there's no direct flight from Manila to Maldives so I had to stop somewhere and I chose Singapore), I sat on an aisle seat, next to me was an elderly gentleman and next to him - on the window seat - was a young boy, probably his grandson. … Continue reading Of Wine
Ah, I finally had a quiet time and was able to write. I had to stay up late today to be able to get the 'quiet time' as I've mentioned in my earlier post that our house is not a home without the noise. And oh, I missed quietude. My short vacation here in the … Continue reading Life Lately

I was walking along the high way of my beloved hometown yesterday when I noticed the grayish-orange clouds scattered along the blue sky. It was beautiful.

As per Wiki, wisdom teeth generally erupts between the ages 17 to 25. Duh? I'm already 31! That being said, maybe at 31, I am still not wise enough as a 25 year old should be.

Spark is a term I usually hear nowadays from youngsters, a word pertaining to love or attraction, if I may be correct. Those who are looking for love (or anything similar) will usually look for the 'sparks' as they say. But is this what you really need to look for when searching for a partner? … Continue reading When All The Sparks Are Gone
