2016 Reading Challenge

I saw this on Pinterest and I figured since I'm getting back into the reading bandwagon that this would be a good way to broaden my reading horizon and try on different genres that I probably won't tap on myself. So let me get my reading hat on ready and let's get right into it! 1. A...

2016 Goals

Yes, Ze list. The list I make every year but only manage to tick off 2 or 3 from it. I usually write it down on a notebook but I tend to change notebook as the year progresses and I kind of forgotten where I jot it down. So I thought why not put it up here and keep it as a record so I could look...

A Look Back on 2015

I've been meaning to do this post but not sure if it's necessary. I'm not sure if anyone reads my blog anymore but if no one does well it still serves as a keepsake for me on all things I love and done in the past. I'm not sure I'm ready to bid 2015 goodbye just yet. 2015 was a roller coaster...

Top 5 Books of 2015

2015 wasn't the best reading year. I read a total of 18 books compared to 28 books back in 2014. And the quality of books I've read aren't all that great, mostly short poems and biography. Sad times but hey I still manage to read some amazing contemporary and started reading Harry Potter! I'm...

Tell Me What You're Thinking

Tell me what you're thinking. What thoughts run through your mind as you look at me? I could stare at you all day and that wouldn't be enough. I wonder if you knew how much effect you had on me. How those hazel eyes could strip off the walls I have build, how your voice could easily calm my demons,...

Why Do You Make Me Feel Like This?

Why Do You Make Me Feel Like This?

I asked you that night, you looking at me while the shadows dance along the traces of your skin, "Why do you make me feel like this? Then you said "because you make me feel the same way." You told me this is how I should be feeling, not only now but for the rest of it. You reminded me of what...

I Wonder If Those Thoughts Were Ever About Me

It was bad wasn't it; me at your place, champagne in one hand and vodka on the other. I never thought I'll be in this situation again. Perhaps I had too much to drink and I would lie if I say that wasn't my intent. I was just looking at you and it fascinates me how you are in your own comforts,...

And Then There Was You

I'm still trying to grasp how this could happen. How I once thought about it but never see it actually happening. It was a first at least to you but in some ways it is for me too. Tell me why I feel this. Why of all people I felt this way about you. I thought it was just me but I'm surprise you...

I Still Have Thoughts of You

I still have thoughts of you. Quite often than I should. But I couldn't help it. I just find myself awake and thinking about all of our small encounters like it meant so much more now than it was yesterday. I wonder if your thoughts were ever the same and for a second that I wonder, I saw your...

The Night We Said Our Goodbyes

The Night We Said Our Goodbyes

You're leaving and it's hard for me to take that in. Just a day that you are gone and I could feel your absence like a part of me wishes you were still around to make sure I was ok. You've been great and I won't forget that you were the one who saw something in me. You believed in me and gave...

I Just Know There Isn’t

I Just Know There Isn’t

I’ve never found myself in this position, the sense of guilt, knowing that there is no other way but none, the feeling that it’s not exactly what you wanted but it’s there. It’s rather confusing, tiring even, to conform to behaviors that is expected, to think that we all deserve to be seen...

I'm Not Good With Judgement, At Least Not Anymore

I wasn't expecting any of this to happen... and I meant that in a good way. I was drawn to you. A depiction of someone I never thought existed; a gentle heart, a kind soul, something rare that I would have thought guys like you cease to exist. Yet I'm not exactly sure if I'm even saying it right....

I'm Just Not Good With Goodbyes

This is how it's suppose to end isn't it? The sad goodbyes, the whole you needed to see me before you go kind of thing. I couldn't bring myself to it. I'm not good with goodbyes nor am I good with dealing emotions I buried a long time ago. I just didn't want to feel it anymore. Yet when I saw...

I Was Waiting All Night For This

It was a blurry night wasn't it? Some sporadic off-the-mill kind of evening where we're just waiting for something to happen. And when it did, it was two lips ravaging each other after hours and hours of pauses, subtle touches, slow hand held and quiet stares. I was waiting all night for this to...

My Fingers Find Themselves Meeting Yours

My Fingers Find Themselves Meeting Yours

I find myself in this stillness, words echoing at the background, hearing words I've heard before but refuse to believe. What was that again? That you'll prove me wrong? That it's not all lies, pain and deceit? I could turn a blind eye and a deaf ear on all those words I've heard before. But instead...

Second Chances

What does it mean to give someone a second chance? Does it mean you're allowing them to hurt you? To make yourself vulnerable? To give them a chance to tear you apart? Or does it mean giving them the benefit of the doubt? That perhaps this time they'll change. That perhaps things will be better....

I Don't Think I Could Do This Anymore

Who: Sandra What: Goodbye August Party "Hey, what's wrong?" Those were the words he utter to me as we briefly saw each other at friend's party. He must have read the sadness and dismay on my face. "I don't think I could do this anymore." I said and with just that I left things hanging with no site...

It's All But A Lie

I sit here trying to make sense of everything; how a person could just lie about how they feel, how deception suddenly became a norm to fulfilling ones own desire. Sometimes I couldn't even phantom how it's so normal, like it's nothing. Like playing with someone's emotion is a game that has...

All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

One of the very first book I read this year is All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. Normally I don't read a lot of young adult books but what draws me to this was its premise. It's story about mental illness and depression, about Violet and Finch who met on the ledge of the school bell tower...

Then I Kissed Him

Who: Elizabeth Dare What: Go Every photo has its story and this is mine. "I love you". Those were the words he whispered to me. I couldn't help but feel the butterflies in my stomach. Perhaps because I knew I love him too. I feel like the time stopped and I found myself right here with him at...

Susie Suh - Here With Me

This is one of the songs that I love listening to at the days end. It makes me want to drift off somewhere far away, while imagining all sorts of different things, dreams, aspirations and life in general. Perhaps it's her soothing voice that creates such effect and maybe it will do the same to...

Colours To Try Right Now: Greys and Nudes

More often than not I gravitate towards neutrals when it comes to my colour of choice and these are no exception. Greys and nudes are the epitome of clean and modern take on whites and blacks. It's warm yet subtle and that's what I love about it.  Get the look + Norma Kamali Stretch...

The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan

I've seen this book quite a number of times but I always give it a miss. Mainly because I thought it's just a dictionary all about love as the title suggest but it turns out there's more to it. It's a story but not a story. This book makes you feel. The words may not exactly be the simplest...

Where Are We Heading?

Every photo has its story and this is mine. "Where are we heading?" She asked. I'm not sure exactly what to tell her. I myself don't know where we're going. I just want to drive, far out of the city, just with her and her beautiful blue eyes. She reminds me of someone, of some person that...

I find myself constantly listening to easy, slow flow music especially at night and Fyfe is becoming one of my favourites. He is british so probably that explains it. But still he is a talented artist and I just added this song to my playlist. Photo via sunset in the rearview and ju...

An Edgier Way to Wear A Brown Coat

As basic as it is, well a brown coat can take on a simpler side for those who are not up to give it an edge. But for those who are, well it doesn't have to be drastic. Take for example these two street style. Get the look + Victoria Beckham Twill Coat + New York Yankee Tee + The Row Medela Midi...

Your Words and Affection Became My Medicine

Your words and affection became my medicine and the silence we share and the blankness of your stare made me feel as though all the pain I have in this world doesn't exist. That there's only you and I and the feeling that maybe life isn't as bad as I thought it is. Photo by: aweifellos mond...

Beautiful Chaos by Robert M. Drake

Beautiful Chaos by Robert M. Drake

I find myself reading a lot of poetry lately. Perhaps because I find that I could relate to it more compared to a fantasy or contemporary read. It also allows me to connect with the writer in a more in-depth way as  he observes love, relationship and his views of the world. I'm pretty sure...

Silence of the Streets

Who: Arturo Oliva Pedroza What: Axel and Ynes in Paris Every photo has its story and this is mine. They decided to take a long walk out in the streets of Paris that night. It was magical much like how every night in the city was like. They wanted to get lost, to feel that the city was theirs to...

If there's one music you need to add to your playlist this week, it's definitely this. Honne are a British duo who knocked me off the moment I heard this song. Warm, sensual and full of groove, this is how I describe their music. It's just pure bliss. photo via honn...

If Love Is All We Ever Needed To Feel

I listen.. to every sound and every word you say. It's as though I'm hearing butterflies and melodies of a song I craved to hear for so long. It feels like I'm connected with you.. for some reason I don't know. You praise me. Telling me how gorgeous I look, how talented I am. Telling me that he...

Paper Towns by John Green

I wasn't so sure how I feel about John Green after reading The Fault In Our Stars. I just find the story way too young and too predictable. I figured since everyone was reading it, I thought I'd give it ago. It turns out, it wasn't my cup of tea but thanks to the movie, John Green relieved himself...

You're An Idiot

For making me feel like I don't deserve to feel anything. For making me think that everything is okey when it isn't. For making me feel that what I'm going through is stupid. For only caring about yourself and thinking of your own happiness. I held on and put up with it when I knew I could have...

When Enough Is Enough

It was all short and sweet. It lingers just right there at a small corner of your heart, yet it seems as though it has taken a whole part of you. Where to even begin? The part where you thought things were okey? That maybe if you'd given it enough time things will go back to how it was?...

As you all know I went to Paris on my own last year but I haven't really shared with you about my experiences in traveling alone. Was it hard? was it scary? Yes and yes to that. If you're like me who tends to set herself back because of fear then traveling on alone was indeed one of my biggest...
