“I wanted to write “stay”
on your sides, surround
your bed with oceans
of salt. I hope he folds you
into a fox, loves you
like a splintered arrow,
brandishes the kill
of your lips. May the bouquet
of your hips wither.
May the wolves
forget your name.”

Well have you tried black magic? JK.

I wish I could be of help but when this happens to me (aka all the time) I just eat until the only pain I feel is the one I get from eating too much. If you really tried everything and it’s fruitless, maybe it’s time to read this.

Sorry if I wasn’t of help. This is a tough question to answer ah! But if you do get past this stage, let me know how. I wish you all the luck!

Describe your high school and college crushes.

Sat, 15 Jun 2013 07:45:56 -0400

High school, meh.

In college, my crushes were usually smart and more often than not, Chinese (which really worries my closest friends). This doesn’t mean I have a crush on all smart Chinese boys because I don’t. There’s still a certain sex appeal requirement…not really. Hehe.

Yey awesome I'll check em out thanks! If its not too much to ask for what did you think about the ff: Hunger Games, Looking for Alaska, Perks of Being a Wallflower and 50 Shades of Grey. These are popular books. Just want to know what your taste is like. Thanks! :))

The Hunger Games - I read only the first book because its plot isn’t my kind of plot. I like the political aspect of it, though; it made me conscious of my own (human) footprint. It made me realize how incredibly lucky many of us are to have things handed to us so easily. Like, even though we’re always warned about limited resources and climate change, we don’t actually need to scrimp on water/food/energy yet because we still have resources. This book made me sad because even if it’s fiction, I know districts like the one Katniss is in continue to exist in the real world. Imagine that. My point is (because I do have a point), it’s a book that makes sense. So even if you’re not into this whole post-apocalyptic thing, The Hunger Games is still a book worth picking up or reading again.

Looking for Alaska - It’s okay, but I didn’t like it so much. There were brilliant lines here and there, but the book didn’t make an impact on me as much as it did on others. For example, some people who read it cried. I was never on the verge of tears while reading this.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - I thought I would relate to this, but I didn’t. It’s okay, but it’s not a book I’d read again.

Fifty Shades of Grey - I never got around to reading this. I tried to read snippets, but I don’t think it’s my kind of book…yet? Maybe when I’m older and in need of ideas, I will reconsider reading this.

I don’t write legit book reviews and these are books I read more than a year ago already. If you read real reviews of these books, you will find that some people are crazy about them, and for valid reasons. Also, if you like talking about books, maybe we should be friends in real life!

Honey, I made a lit of people you can date. Choose nalang! :>

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:57:14 -0400

Sino ka? Haha I don’t get why friends want me to date already. Do I look lonely? Hahaha cos I’m perfectly fine! Thanks for the concern. Just keep the list. Maybe I’ll need that mga three years from now pa when I feel like dating na.

You seem to like reading.. recommend me books? :))

Thu, 13 Jun 2013 23:01:58 -0400

Yes I like reading, but I read slow! I’m reading Aimee Bender’s The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies simultaneously. So far, I like both. Read them and tell me what you think. Recommend too! :)

I've always wondered why someone like you has never had a boyfriend. I think you're a closeted lesbian. Are you?

“

Joseph! I said, knocking on the wall we shared. I said it loud. I knocked again, rapping my hand hard on the wall. To wake him up, from whatever deep state of study he was in. I kept knocking.

After ten minutes, he strode into the room in his pajamas. What, he said.

He was tall, like Dad, but skinny, unlike Dad. He did not care about soccer. His eyes were caverns. And I could see how he was leaving, how he was halfway out the door. Still, as he stood there, arms crossed, hair flat, grim, tense, I remember it as a wash of relief, that he was still there, tangible, able to come in, annoyed, to be in my room. It was an antidote to the feeling that nobody was home.

“Writing is one of those things that cannot be taught. Sure, you can be provided with the formula, the proper format, the examples. You can also be armed with various tips that have worked well for more experienced writers. Perhaps the most popular among these tips is: “Write from the heart.” But you should soon find out that in writing, as well as in other aspects in this life, the heart, alone, is never enough.”

“

And I saw you in amazement
Stumbling through the day
You told me time never waits
What is that supposed to mean?

All of life
Is in one drop of the ocean
Waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
and take them from our eyes
And make them into monsoons

”

Why do I feel like I never fit in anywhere?

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 03:20:11 -0400

vivatregina:

You know, like when I try, I feel like I’m not really wanted there and people are just kind of trying to include me to be polite, and when I don’t try, because I’m awkward and shy and generally a quiet person (the loudness is kind of just a front, really), I think people think I’m a snob. I just can’t win, you know?

More importantly, why do I still feel like that at almost-twenty-five? I’m way too old for this. You’d think I would have found “my people” by now.
