… is going to be way harder than I thought. I finished answering the sample GRE for Literature last night and I flunked big time. Which means I will have long intense study sessions ahead of me if I really want this bad enough.
Having written the novel has raised my confidence level so high that [...]

I know it was just this morning when I blogged, almost unwillingly, about things I am grateful for this week, but I feel the need to do a follow up after meeting up with the lovely Lit people for a long lunch today. It was everything that I needed at this very low point in [...]

Yesterday when I read this article and asked myself if I were happy, I realized I could finally say yes. So I think the worst may be over.
I have been a bundle of energy the past couple of days leaving me too exhausted to even think about anything else other than labor conditions in China [...]

…I should start a business. But the bigger question is what?
A used bookstore cum ukay-ukay shop sounds like something I would actually want to own. “We sell everything used but still usable.” But I would need a good location. Near a university, perhaps.

This week, thank you for:
- friends
who would attempt to comfort and/or distract me. Not always successful but I really appreciate the effort. Also, for patiently [...]

Time to accept the fact that there are things I will never be good at, no matter how hard I try. Time to quit. Besides, I have reached my quota of heartbreaks in this lifetime. So that’s it. I am never falling in love again. *accepts defeat *throws towel in
There will always be things I [...]

As can be gleaned from my previous post, I am a confused little girl right now. So I slept on it. And as soon as I woke up I scheduled more sleeping sessions ahead. But it is in times like this one that my weekly gratefulness list makes the most sense because it makes me [...]

Lately I have been thinking of major life decisions. From buying a house to migrating to quitting my job and going back to school full-time. Maybe I have reached that age of finally wanting to know exactly where I’m headed, if I were in fact headed anywhere. Maybe I had too much free time while [...]
