Coming Clean

Discounts for the ladies! A post that the guys [maybe] shouldn’t read. On Nad’s recommendation, I went to try brazilian waxing  [something I have wanted to try for a long time but didn't have the guts to] at Pink Parlour. A hastily taken photograph because I had to rush off for other appointments.

Electrifying Shirlyn

One last night in Wala Wala. Wala last night was somewhat different. The band were in full-force from the first song [usually it takes them awhile to get high] and Shirlyn’s energy, upped a couple of volts, seemed to electrify the place us me the gang. Then again, it doesn’t take a lot to get the [...]

Wait

You’re gone again, and I miss you so. Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of the water, scanning the horizon for the tiny ship. Now I wait for him.   Come back safely to me, love.

The Biggest Bookstore in Taipei, Meeting Jay Chou

and other short stories. On the third day, we went to Eslite bookstore – the biggest 24 hour bookstore chain in Taiwan. My my, the bookstore was HUGE! I was in nerd heaven! One small section of one side of one floor. Sister and I spent too much time [and money] at the first floor [...]

Mirrors

… He didn’t play games, either. He bloody called me. He called me when he said he would, he called me when he hadn’t said he would. We went out, we stayed in, we had great sex. It wasn’t until the three-month mark that he found out why he shouldn’t cross me. He was off, [...]

Randomly Taiwan

After a cow-overload day, Fernie, sister and I headed to Taipei 101 observatory, the reputed world’s tallest building to be constructed in the new millenium, standing at 509.2 metres. This picture looks very see-no-evil, say-no-evil, hear-no-evil, even though we weren’t do the actions [obviously!]. Me feeling real sick but determined to do the touristy thang. [...]

Destructive-Shopping Mode

ALRIGHT. I am scaring even myself now. I should tie my hands up. I should ban myself from online shops. I should not have gone to FEP on Monday. Tracking all the way back to January this year, I made a pact with myself to control my spendings [ie; don't spend frivolously. Do I really [...]

Trapped

This is how I have been feeling for some time. Image from Indigoarts. Stifled, controlled, paralysed. By a lot of things around me, by circumstances and situations. A choke-hold on my neck, invisible chains around my mind and wings. The Gemini needs the freedom to explore, investigate, and learn. Frequent opportunities to change direction, and follow several lines [...]

Beautifully Imperfect

This has been going around in Facebook and I thought I’ll share it with you readers here [if you haven't already watched it]. *sappy* A reminder to all of us to appreciate the people that we love most – while they are still around. And what I wouldn’t give, just to hear those sounds again [...]

Invisible Bookshelves

A couple of these have been around for some time but I forgot about their existence until recently. Invisible bookshelves – creating an optical illusion. A large hardcover book is secured into the shelf bracket and held up by hidden rivets. Hang a few of these and voila! You have a cool, floating library in your room. Somehow [...]
