Found this through my friend Ivee’s facebook wall post. Incredibly moving.
When Laura Munson’s husband asked for a divorce, she ducked instead of fighting. He needed to learn, she says, that his unhappiness wasn’t really about her
In dance class on Thursday,
My 30-year-old (doesn’t look it all and has really great tattoos on her feet) classmate danced from the shrine she made of herself (as instructed by the teacher, the shrine making AND the dancing).
Let me make this clear. Probably every single dancer in the modern department is the strong woman type. I mean look at the crazy shit we do. Robot chicken, fetal crawling, finding our ephemeral...

So there are a couple things I want to say. Perhaps I should have journaled while in Italy, it has been incredible and learning and oh-so-much-fun but I will forget it next year, all the small parts. Wonder if God has a pensieve like thing so that we can relive our best moments (though I suppose the point is that heaven will be so good I won’t care).
Number One
There are a few key phrases,...

To find flaws in men. It really doesn’t take long at all to figure out that one particular issue that destroys my respect for a person. This really is the crux of it all - respect. It seems that men are less and less worthy of respect; or perhaps more accurately, it takes much much more for me to respect someone. Or maybe it’s because my perception is growing increasingly worldly and,...

Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for what I have.
Say Goodbye to Your Head (Draft 1)
It used to be a luxury, but as you know, technology makes many things accessible. After most of the ethical issues were resolved (with money), it was only a matter of time before the technical issues were resolved (also with money). It was quickly becoming commonplace to take a holiday from one’s own self.
It’s simple, really. First, you go to the travel agency...

Airport Melancholy
So, I wrote this in my head while waiting to fly home. It’s been a couple days of yum yums and friend-happiness so I’ve prolly forgotten most of the feeling. Nonetheless, it struck me very darkly when I was in that moment, so it deserves at least, this.
As I sat there, watching the inordinate amount of people load onto the aircraft, it struck me that I really want to see space....
Pretty please, I would like to have this.

This is really pretty much my dream firm. They are in LONDON. They do restaurants, bars, pubs, boutique hotels, from start-ups to grown-ups and everything in the middle. They have a dog as part of their team for stress relief. They themselves just love to eat and dine and travel. I am going to do everything I can to intern with them next summer. And then I will...

WatchI think he is very sexy. Really.
Moose.
I have a lot. People ask me why I like them and I say they are cute.
It all unfortunately seems to be very superficial. They are cute! And nice to hug!
But they also have that element of lumpy unglam-ity, that weird semi-uncool touch. I mean they are large and slow. Not exactly awesome like, a, uh, cheetah? But that’s precisely why I like them, because I like being weird and eclectic and...

My secret wish is to be a domestic diva. Not Martha Stewart. Sexy, like a female Jamie Oliver.
I’m all for equal rights and opportunities, but at the end of the day I am a mostly traditional Chinese girl with a strong awareness of the difference between a man and a woman (If you snickered because your first thought was that I was referring to anatomy, please go grow your brain a little...

Since I’ve apologized about the neither here nor there nature of my tumblr, I feel liberated to give my heart some airtime. But of course, I’m Singaporean, so the Censor board never sleeps, even at 3am in the morning. Now, I’m going to talk about a few things that make me angry. And then the fewer things that I am scared of. (This is my topic sentence)
Angry Things
My friends...
I'm here to make an apology.
So a few weeks ago, I wrote a piece about the different types of blogs out there and I declared that my blog is going to be the intellectual witty sort. Well. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to slam Twilight (did so twice actually :D), and post up cute pictures. So, here I am apologizing, because my blog is not what I told you to expect. I have instead decided to take a constructive approach. In...
All is Not Lost
When your coffee becomes tasteless,
And the colours turn bleak,
When grief appears immortal,
And all other emotions meek,
When weddings make you cry,
And funerals turn you false,
When forgetting to eat becomes a habit,
And you never pick up your calls,
All is Not Lost,
No.
It’s not.
Because you Live,
Even though he does not.
I was going to post something morbid. I have a...

It’s coming. Slowly but surely, the push/pull from in-outside to grow up is making itself known. I am 19 now, I will be 20 soon. But it’s really not about age. It is about a vocation, about getting to your dreams, about money. It is about becoming the person you want your husband to marry. It is about becoming a true instrument of God, someone who can accomplish things for God. It is...

B and Marley ...
M: Brandon.
B: Marley.
M: Marilyn.
B: Sorry, I meant Marilyn.
B: So I trust you’ve been doing well.
M: Yes. Very well. Very well indeed.
M: In fact, I am editor now. Of my magazine. It was hard, but I made it.
B: I heard, Marle… Marilyn.
M: You did?
M: Well, I would suppose so. We gained three awards last month. So, you’re doing fine too?
B: I’m broke.
M: You are?
B: Yes, I am. Quite broke.
M: Ah. I see.
B: Yes. So, let’s exchange our things and leave.

“Someone once told me that the power in all relationships lies with whoever cares...”
– ‘The “power” referred to above is the power of self-protection. You know—those games we play to try not to care too much for someone. And, yes, it may keep a broken heart from getting hurt again, but there is no joy or life in it. It only ends up incarcerating the soul in a prison of fear,...
This blog is having an existential crisis.
Sometimes, I get the urge to talk about my feelings. But then I get disgusted by myself. The internets really do not need another bleeding heart. That little-makes-Shakespeare-roll-in-grave emo poem already irks me.
But It is oh so tempting. When I see bleeding heart blogs, I have this mixture of respect and pity. Respect that they can be so honest with themselves and the world, and so unafraid...
So this is going to be rather incoherent...
I am in Juneau Public Library in Alaska, where they have free wifi. As opposed to the 64 cents per minute wifi on the ship. To put it in context, an hour of internet cost almost 40 bucks. It better be damn fast internet.
I went stream fishing yesterday at Icy Strait. I don’t think I’ve ever been that deep into the wilderness. Icy Strait is this small port with really, nothing. They...

The Learning of Contentment
In my head,
My closet, the wallet,
The face, my body,
My bleeding heart,
The well bubbles, full, overflowing,
With many, much much more
Then what is owed.
So why, am I jealous of people whose lives reach their pinnacle on the internet?
Look at the Tehs run!

Am I a cynic?
Today, I heard a news story regarding the three American hikers being held as prisoners in Iran. Two of them, Sarah and Shane, are now engaged. He proposed to her in January with a ring made of threads from his shirt. They will marry as soon as they are freed. Love, even in the most extreme of circumstances, gives me hope.
