Ten years ago today, he said ‘will you be my girlfriend?’ She said ‘ummmm no’ And he said ‘okay I’ll wait’ She said ‘dont. cause I wont change my mind’ He laughed. ‘yeah you will. wait and see I’ll put that ring on your finger someday’ She thought ‘what a creep. who the hell says stuff like that???’ She said ...
Not to be confused with sadness. There is something different about being melancholy. Almost like a voluntary moroseness. A more becoming shade of blue if you may. I dont like being sad but I can live with melancholy. Embrace it, on some days. Given the right music I could even revel in it. Billy Joel [...]
Did I miss the memo about an end to a blogging era? Where is Scrumpy? And Dee? Whats with all this ‘protected blogs’ and ‘sign in to read’ stuff? And no more Lady Divine? The mother of all blogrolls. Sigh. I only blinked for like a year and so many people have disappeared. Waah. Filed under: Uncategorized
So its my fourth October of blogging here. But I’ve only managed to put up a measly 175 posts so far. Didnt realize that my posting had been so random. Feels like I write more somehow. I did some archive searching and had a laugh over stuff that I had forgotten ever happened. This is my first ever post and in ...
Just dropping by so that I dont permanently forget my wordpress password. It feels like I’ve been spun in a washing machine these past few months. In a good way though, with soap bubbles and all. Most of the craziness I would attribute to work and related drama but still loving it all the same. Why I havent been writing ...
Another year over and how much has changed. And yet here I am thinking about the things that stayed the same. Things I’m not yet ready to change.Filed under: Uncategorized
Its that time of the year when the travel bug bites. September last year I took time off work to travel. 3 countries in 2 months. The best part of it being New York, where it was early fall and I spent endless hours traipsing through museums, drinking great coffee (yeah T, the pumpkin spice lattes were out of this world) and [...]
Ten years ago today, my ex and I broke up. It was a big deal because we had been together a really long time – since we were kids actually. Families were involved and we had mapped our entire future together. But now in retrospect I wonder, how big a deal could it have been because even after all that time we were still ...
Have you ever had an ant in your drink? Y’know those pesky black ones who infiltrate the sugar and end up floating unexpectedly in your tea or coffee. But sometimes you are too lazy to fetch a spoon and fish it out. Neither do you want to dip your finger in the drink. So you [...]
I first read about Thomas Kinkade in some American magazine. I think it was 1998. Was fascinated by the samples of his work they featured on the article because never before had I seen light so perfectly infused into a painting. From a distance some of them could be mistaken for photographs. A year later someone randomly sent me a holiday card ...
Its not often that I venture into the kitchen these days. And desserts were never something I was interested in. But this I have always wanted to make. It has no name or recipe. This just what a peaches & cream dessert looked like in my head. So I made it recently for a family event. Have to say I had a little ...
For Saturday mornings, when the only pressing dilemma is where to buy buth packets for lunch from. For Saturday afternoons of cold showers in the shade of a rambutan tree. For Saturday nights when all the friends that you’d ever need are all in one room.Filed under: Uncategorized
I’ve been living away from home for a little over a year and it is with some amusement I note that it has indeed been a time without friends. There are things nobody ever tells you about migration in spite of the truckloads of advice you receive about everything from where to buy Sri Lankan spices to which car insurance ...
So WordPress tells me I’ve been blogging for 7 years. Although the last two years don’t really count for much. Makes me almost miss writing. But do people in SL still write on blogs and read? Or is blogging like so 2008?Filed under: Uncategorized
While hunting for a new house, I realize that in the last 3 years I’ve lived in 5 houses in two countries. My own place, my parents’ place, a friend’s place and two addresses since I moved here. 12 is the grand total though, of the houses I’ve lived in, spanning across multiple continents. But funnily enough all I ever ...
