You, from a Time Far Away
It has been a while since I last visited this place. It feels like I am meeting an old friend or a younger sibling. ‘How have you been?’ ‘Are you still with…?’ ‘Did you finish that book we promised to read before we graduated?’ ‘Did he ever come back to you?’ It has been a […]

Dead Beats and Winter Things
She was fourteen when she fell for a boy who drew wolves. At that time, the love she offered had been an innocent one – probing but gentle. He took what she offered without understanding what it was and in her elation, she did not bother explaining. All that mattered was that he took it […]

Mandatory Year(s) Reviews
Yesterday was my first anniversary in this distant place. I found that whenever I get tired of doing something, I subconsciously draft a plan to go to a place where no one knows me. Now, I think I took it a bit too far and ended up in another country. I would come back in […]

Oddities of Storms in Summer
It’s raining from where I’m writing this. Not much of a typhoon compared to what I’m used to experiencing from where I originally came from. Nonetheless, it’s a welcome change from the sweltering summer heat. Currently, I’m sliding into one of my pensive moods. However, I’m not entirely sure how to organize my thoughts but […]

Eventually, it led me to become a kind of social porcupine. […]

Thailand and Fatal Wanderlust
The institute I used to work for had this thing for travel. People would come and go with just a tell-tale post-it in their desks and I found myself often stuck all by my lonesome, nursing a cup of milk tea. A few months had gone by like this until one uneventful day, I was […]

A Year Hence
It’s been over a year since I had anything to say. Let me just point out that life’s being good right now. The drama of 2013 went away with nothing more than a night of tears and a week of realization. The melodrama just gave way to someone who’s taking everything on a brighter track. […]

Bits and Pieces
We’ll be sitting under a strange canopy of the universe in a distant peninsula. Underneath all the absent stars, I’ll be looking at you but I won’t be seeing you. I won’t be seeing you in all the ways that count but I will know you – part by enticing part. A soft breeze would […]
