We have beaches and then we have the Matara beach. See, the Matara beach is simply Instagram worthy. The view from the Nilwala River too, is an added bonus. But here’s the thing with the Matara beach. In case you forgot on exactly where the beach is located (because trust me, we did), it is in … Continue reading Chasing Sunsets in Nilwala
You see, writing “well” for me was never easy. I always wrote, even as a child (since when I could actually start writing that is) but it wasn’t about being any good at it, but more so as a practice of documentation and now in retrospect (as an adult, lol), to keep at it. Because … Continue reading Let’s Talk about Failed Writing – II
A lot of people have already begun talking about it and clearly this post will not necessarily make a difference, but there are rants in my head that need to be written somewhere and if you don’t feel like reading it, no worries! This is totes obvs with reference to the piece of shit writing … Continue reading Let’s Talk about Prostitutes
Tuesday September 27, 2016 Hello loves, It’s been too long since I last gave thanks. Work, life and usual and some unforeseen shenanigans happened and before we even know, September has come and gone. Today, I don’t want to count my list of thankfuls. Instead, I want reminisce and recollect some of the people and … Continue reading Week Thirty-Three: Giving Thanks
If I start to count the number of videos I watched before starting this post, trust me I would’ve failed having tried to keep track of em. As far as most writers go, I am pretty Jon Snow when it comes to financing. The most I would’ve gotten as far as financing goes would be … Continue reading Why I Want to Write about Financing (or “Budgeting” predominantly)
Tuesday September 13, 2016 Hello loves, Happy September! I know forgot last week but let’s try to pretend as though it never happened okay. Because, it never did, haha – get it? ohgoshIlovemydryjawkssomuch. Here are what I am grateful for this week: My sister, who is home this week – YAY. Holidays on weekdays, need … Continue reading Week Thirty-Two: Giving Thanks
Tuesday August 30, 2016 Hello loves, My self-imposed deadline was 1500h but I was running errands at that time and tell me who can buy eggs, pay bills, pump petrol and blog at the same time? Since I’m now back to making money for the day, let’s get straight into my list of thankfuls for … Continue reading Week Thirty-One: Giving Thanks
Tuesday August 23, 2016 To all you beautiful people, It’s been a while hasn’t it. My last post from week twenty-nine tells me that it was somewhere in September when I stopped this practice. I don’t know why it happened, it’s not as though I haven’t been thankful since. I have been, more than I […]
Last This week was a shitty one. Actually so was the week before that, but the week that just ended more so. (Clearly I wrote this post on Saturday but never got around to publishing it) To say that it’s over and a new week to have begun, is more than I could ask for […]
See the notion that comes from “Working from Home” is the supposed abundance of free time. Well, yes and no. Yes, because you are at home, supposedly chilling in your pyjamas (unlike YouTubers who have morning routines where they get about their day at home with a full face of makeup, the furthest I’d go would […]
If you know me, you know that I love to write. I probably don’t write as much as I should for a “writer” but then this is not the post where we argue about what I do for a living. Instead, it’s this journey that began as a writer then proceeded to a letter writer that […]
This has been coming a long time but like this and many of my other writings, by the time I decided on writing, everyone else has either written on the same or the topic is now redundant. However, the recent Jennifer Aniston blog post has stir in the lost and almost given up cause on […]
To the dearest people in my life, These are different from the previous open letters that I have written. This one is a tad bit more personal even to the extent of TMI. There might be parts that you might think are exaggerated but this is just me talking through the written word because we […]
It’s been too long, far too long. It’s like those habits we try to shy away from, or keep at, without much luck. I read some bits everyday. I would’ve liked to said “a lot” but that’s genuinely not the case. But of what I read, I am amused, entertained and enthralled. Enthralled at how […]
Before I launch into an ultimate rant, let me just put out a few disclaimers for all we care: Yes, I’m aware that I speak in English than Sinhala when given the opportunity; I’m also aware that my blog posts are entirely in English; and finally, despite it not being my first language or “native” tongue, […]
No before one would jump into any conclusions after reading the title: No, I did not find “new” love – quite happy with the existing one and will be for cheesy long time; I neither found a new job, I still have the supposedly luxurious lifestyle, which again I will have for a while (I […]
Of all the things running through my little head, I knew it was time to write. Journaling would’ve been the more ideal choice at this given time but my wrist situations makes typing long-form easier than writing. I would like to think on how I’ve spent the past few days and weeks in deep self-discovery, […]
It’s been nearly three weeks two weeks and four days after those terrible floods and landslides. By the time you read this, most likely on Monday or something, it might even be three. The “big rains” have now ceased and the monsoons have taken over. People have moved on in life, Muhammad Ali died at […]
I’ll be honest with you. I thought this would be a one-off post. But we’ve made it to three so yay for me! I’ve turned into a poet in the process as well, eek. In today’s post, we speak of two things: racial or ethnic preferences and vulnerability. The latter is a bit of a […]
So yesterday was a bit of an unproductive day for me and Mum. We went to Angoda, IDH and Wellampitiya areas and while the water levels seem to be chilling while they are at it, so at the moment, there isn’t a lot that anyone can do. In a modified statement inspired by Dickens, It […]
