We’re back! Sorry for the silence! Happy 50th post! I am the lady that you first see when you walk in. I stand here for hours a day when there is absolutely no activity going on in the hotel. The hotel bar is directly in my line of sight, and the bartender is lucky.Continue reading “The Lady at the Hotel Counter”

Wordless Wednesday: The Ride Home
I feel like writing words today. My verbal daydreaming. The ride home is peaceful, but only in a certain sense. Sitting in the passenger seat, you become oblivious to the person in the driver seat and become lost in a deep pool of thoughts about the past, the present and the future. The sunContinue reading “Wordless Wednesday: The Ride Home”
Homeless For A Day
New bed, am I right or am I right? ^ An Ode to A New Home. No, I was not actually homeless for a day. Perhaps this title was a little misleading. What I mean to depict is that I’m moving to a new house in a few days, and so the process of movingContinue reading “Homeless For A Day”
FOESO: Why We Need to Reflect
FOESO of this post right here. In a society where everyone is encouraged to stand up for themselves and assert their opinions, many people will do just that.

Keep On Writing, Everyone
Some can pick up a microphone and demonstrate their natural talent for singing. Others can indicate their affinity for dance as a method of self-expression. Me? I can sit down for hours and write non-stop. It is 2:07 AM.

A houseplant is dying. Tell it why it needs to live.
Dear houseplant of mine: Life is better than death, that’s for sure. If there’s a chance that you can muster up your plant willpower and restore your health, you should. There’s always a risk that life has value. And you know that, otherwise you would have already let yourself wilt by now, correct? Oh IContinue reading “A houseplant is dying.

What’s in a Song?
There are infinite reasons for appreciating a song. In my experience, I’ve liked songs simply because of who it reminds me of, who suggested it to me, where I heard it, or who I heard singing it. I might enjoy just the heavy beat, the interesting music video, or the contagious and infectious catchiness. MusicContinue reading “What’s in a Song?”
This Time Next Month
At this time next month, we’ll be counting down the seconds until a new year (assuming we live through the 2012 apocalypse scenario). I find that the New Year always brings about so many interesting mood swings and behavioral changes in everyone. Yet, it’s still a bit of a cliché. Celebrating the new year isn’tContinue reading “This Time Next Month”
What Happens As Time Passes

Records are broken, Goals accomplished. A pen runs out of ink, The earth revolves around the sun. People fall in and out of love,Continue reading “What Happens As Time Passes”
