  • The year is 2025 and I’m still living life with this fluffy creature. My princess, I lover her so much.

  • The year is 2024.

    I’m living in a different country. Two cats. Three two chickens. Three kids. A family.

    It’s 2024.

    I’m currently on the train on my way to work. It’s seven in the winter morning. The temperature outside is dropping to zero. I miss the tropics (home).

    The year is 2024. Still navigating life.

  • I skipped a whole year from my previous post because 2017 was THE year my life took a huge turn for the better. Got married, adopted kittens, bought a new house to name a few. I’ve been savoring my new happy life in silence but sometimes I do miss the occasional writing and sharing in this little space I own on the Internet.

    It’s been almost a year since we traveled down to Australia and got married at a beautiful vineyard located in a little town with our dearest friends and family. But all this reminiscing will have to wait on our first wedding anniversary in a month. At this moment I just want to be happy because I finally got the courage to write again. 🙂

  • i have unearthed a box full of isle

    the only words written were “beguile”

    in a flash the weather turned hostile

    as the waves crashed there was never a smile

     

  • Something that’s been sitting in my Drafts folder for four years. Will I ever make this happen?

    So I am planning to travel to India in 2013 with Kid. India has always been an interesting country to me ever since I laid eyes on Taj Mahal in grade school textbooks and travel documentaries I have watched on the telly. Well, let’s just say that the Bollywood movie The Three Idiots has piqued my interest last year. This India trip is somewhat ambitious as this would be the second international trip that I would be making after my short visit to Hong Kong in 2011. Some of the travellers I know usually explore the South East Asian countries first before traversing outside the fence of these Asian territories. Why India? I have a gut feeling I am going to fall in love with this country.

     

  • I hope that our love, time, patience, and understanding with each other are as infinite as the number of grains of sand that touch this ring.

  • Why I am proud to live in this beautiful island somewhere in the Pacific. This paradise is quickly becoming Boracay’s competition when it comes to pristine turquoise water and white fine sand.
