How did it sound again?

Today, in the midst of exhausting efforts of trying to sail through my short-lived preparation for my exams, I realise my fuses have burnt short. So naturally I ended up on my blog here to get some inspiration from my med school success story, hoping it'd give a kickstart to my worn out willpower. I…

quagmire, with no sign of settle

I made a very complex and complicated decision to stray from where I thought I was heading. A lot of sleepless nights, a convoluted mind. I'm heading towards a road unsullied and I'm trying my best to make sure it ends well. Taking a major external exam on May 2022 and preparations have taken wheels.…

Ghosts of your laughter

The sounds of your laughter still lingers. It's in many forms. It's in the form of the earrings you gifted me. The purple mini cars on the road. It's the flabby arms and it's in the way the road to airport seems to remind me of your home, which was once mine too. They ring…

Happy birthday ダーリン

I don't know how to say this but I know I am blessed to have crossed path with you. So many have left but you always stayed. You were always there. You were always there to offer me a hand when I scrape my knees falling on rough gravel. You are there when life fucks…

rainy days

“I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.” I woke up this morning -finally- to a heavy downpour emanating a very refreshing and green smell from all the plants outside my window.

Home

-is wherever you are. Holding each other after months of not being able to afford physical affection secondary to pandemic restrictions. Months of virtual conversations, kisses over screens and longing for a hug that only reached as mimicry. To be able to feel the swell of his shoulders after months of his heavy workouts. And…

Are we okay?

With the world plagued with the pandemic, locking us inside the confined of homes we might have tried to escape from. Away from the jobs we took solace in. How are we doing? Are we okay? I'm at the better side of the coin because I need protection before anyone else due to the nature…

日本のラブストーリー

I am so in love. It’s been 8-9 years spent with you. But I still get butterflies. I still love they way you whisper with your eyes. I love the way you treat me so gently. No one really does. I love the way we share the same visions to a house we will own…

Χρόνια πολλά στους πρώην καλύτερους φίλους μου.

I started to flip through my blog and read the past couple of years of my life in ink. It feels estranged. I feel disembodied. Did I really live that life? I don’t remember the company or the friends I used to share laughter with. But I’ve accepted that change is part of the cycle…

Before Sunrise in Japan

“So often in my life I’ve been with people and shared beautiful moments like travelling or staying up all night and watching the sunrise, and I knew it was a special moment, but something was always wrong. I wished I’d been with someone else. I knew that what I was feeling – exactly what was…
