Photographs of Us

To those who know me at a personal level,  You should know that I like to be the photographer,  rather than to be photographed.  (If you don't know me personally, you should know that fact too.)  Why? That's because I enjoy capturing candid moments 'cause I find them priceless.  Something that you can never get it back cos it was in 'the spur of the moment' One second it was there and another it's gone with the shutter.  What's left behind is solely a photograph.  A something  when words alone don't do enough justice for the emotion felt within.  A something when you can't recall what exactly happened -  if it breaks your heart and tears you apart,  or if it makes your heart skipped a beat when we spend time not being apart.  Something to be grateful of for  it reminds you to always water your grass instead of seeing the greener side of the other grass. To keep tellin...

Halfway Gone

Six months it has been. Just really grateful for everything that's happening.  I can't list down all of the things, as the list could never end. Simply said;  I fell, I got hurt but I'm slowly picking myself up.  One real lesson that I have learnt, (Perhaps it's one that I should have learn long time ago.) It is  To learn to not let things affect you. To choose to not let the bad experiences affect you. No matter how bad they can be.  At the end of the day,  Don't forget to always look up to the sky cos you just won't know what you'll see up above. The possibilities of seeing a rainy weather and a double rainbow are the same. So might as well give it a try, yea? :)  Just try and you'll know what I mean.  *** Shall end this short post now as it's still a working day tomorrow. Today's one of the most beautiful cotton candy skies I've ever seen.  Here's to better days to ...

Poem #3: A Different Goodbye

I can't remember how long I've been working on this or  how many drafts I have discarded for I kept feeling it's not good enough. It's been a while since I've sat in front of my laptop for hours, Given that it is only weekends that I can do this. Here's another one after a long long time. A Different Goodbye I believe that each goodbye has a sentiment of their own.  It doesn't necessarily have to be another sad ending. Yes, things will change. But how bad can it be, right?  Okay I take that back. I know it's hard not to miss them when they're gone, As you sometimes recall the memories when you're alone.  Names that once so familiar to you,  Sounds foreign after a change of view. Just like waves splash against the shores,  Pulling every pellet of sand with all their might.  Same goes to our memory,  In time, we forget those memories kept at a corner of our minds.  Goodbyes are never an easy thing,  ...

My Unrequited Love

I swear everything was going great today. Like this good day wouldn't stand a chance to be ruined by anything.  So I decided to start again. On an empty canvas. I can't remember the last time this happened and I totally lost count on the attempts I've made thus far. I ignored the sound of the clock ticking Focusing on the blank sheet before me. Words poured out and slowly I typed furiously.      I was delighted upon seeing what might turn up this time Anticipating the final work as  as my fingers slide across smoothly. The possibilities I had were endless. At the same time, I didn't want to give myself false hope. It happened before and I knew the terrible feeling of disappointment very well. So I kept going, choosing each words with care. Planting them with much caution, one by one. A tingling sensation at the corner of my heart reminded me of the fear I once had. Somewhere within me, ...

Given a choice,  a chance   to turn back time, to relive all your best memories again. Would you take on this once in a lifetime chance? or Would you skip it because there's no point of going through it all over again? The thought of knowing that you can't possibly change anything (even if you wanted to). Personally I would choose the first option in reliving all my best memories again. I do it not because of regret, but for the sake of remembering the details that would make me feel happy/sad/grateful/disgusted/heartbroken/depressed and other emotions that I have previously experienced. "The youth is wasted on the young and the wisdom is wasted on the old." This quote made so much sense in a way that Youth being the most beautiful thing, yet it is wasted on the young who have no clue of how to treasure it. No clue of how important it is in the later stage of life. On the other hand, wisdom is only attained when you're...

We are slowly heading to the fourth week of 2017 and I hope that everyone's doing well. If things aren't going as well as you thought it would be,  be patient and always believe that things will get better eventually.  Better days are coming, alright? :)  As for me, I've been well despite my last appearance in December. 2016 was a crazy rocky ride given that one of my biggest milestones in life being achieved ; Graduation . For the year 2017, I simply wanted to be a better version of myself in various terms being attitude and most importantly to be doing better at what I love most ; Writing . mostly in my own journal but I do hope to write often here too.  *fingers crossed* Part of me wonders who keeps tab on this place if I didn't post any updates on my social media. To those people, thanks for still hanging around. I can proudly say that I have kept my new year resolutions up to my expectations this year  and it's bee...
