It has almost been a year since I started this blog on WordPress.com. Before that I have had a gazillion blogs, back in those Multiply, LiveJournal and Blogdrive days. None of those really ever lasted, but most of them are still online up to now. I’m not going to share their links though. I have […]
I thought to myself this morning: this world is gonna make me crazy. But then I thought, am I not already? And then I realized that to exist in this world, everybody has got to be partially insane. For us to have gone through all those seemingly impossible, sometimes unsurvivable experiences in our lives, for […]
Kids nowadays – me included – are just so confused with their lives. Everyday they’re faced with gazillions of choices. Sometimes it could be as simple as what to eat, what to wear, what to do on a boring day; other times it could be as complicated as what course to take, which school to […]
Today marks a very significant part of our lives. Today is the day for change. Oh, I don’t mean May 10, 2012; I don’t mean New Year or your birthday. I mean Today – whatever you’re doing, whatever day you’re reading this, wherever the hell you are. We are so obsessed with waiting for New […]

It is highly disconcerting that we’re already near the tip of March’s tail and I have not traveled one bit this summer. Pretty bad, considering my travel habits. Not that I haven’t been into any adventures in the past few weeks… Life was rather eventful, actually. As it always is. It already feels as if […]
I told my friend Jean today that I’m not so fond of sleeping. Well, yes, I do have a hard time waking up in the mornings, but in general, I would prefer to stay awake. She said I might die. She said there’s this one CEO who thought that sleeping was a “waste of time” […]
All your life, have you ever felt as if you bet your whole arse on a lottery ticket and wondered why some unknown person from the other side of the universe won? Maybe you entrusted your soul to some lover who later on realizes he’d rather watch TV while scratching his belly? Maybe worse – […]
Summer is not a season, it’s a feeling. A moment, a love, a dream, a laugh, a kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs.
It took me a while to decide whether I should (re)post this. I would like to differentiate myself from people – mostly celebrities – who continuously retweet and repost every compliment said about them. But then, if you look at people as products trying to market themselves, then a repost of a good comment is […]
