Have you ever experienced the feeling of finally having things getting into a groove, and your train is just beginning to chug along more or less merrily, only to have it unexpectedly meet an obstacle you thought you had already put behind and you almost get derailed? Briefly disoriented, miffed, sad and disappointed, you nevertheless […]

The Waking Moment
Have you ever noticed what your first waking thought is? Your first lucid thought? When consciousness dawns, but while you’re still a little too groggy to react to anything… I used to think that one split second, that first waking thought, was a special moment of truth. Whatever that first thought or emotion is, I […]
Nessun Dorma
It’s been a long and beautiful night. I had thought it would have been more difficult, but once again, I surprised myself. From somewhere deep within me, there was a quiet calm, and it slowly spread through me in warmth. Strangely enough, I think a peace protects me. And I am grateful. It’s been a […]

It wasn’t because it was the most aesthetically pleasing per se…but something about the photo spoke to me. And now, after having made it my […]
Figure Skating Memos
Watched the Men’s Free Skate finals earlier…and Jeffrey Buttle of Canada won the bronze! *yay*! Evgeny Plushenko won the gold easily, but…maybe it was because it was so evident from the start that somehow this year, it wasn’t exciting to watch him skate. He had flawless routines for both short and long programs, but…ah well, […]
Valentine’s Day Musings
Ah yes. The day of luuurrve. In secondary school, some of my friends and I used to exchange little cards…V-day was kind of the day to celebrate friendships. Girlfriends ruled! Then in JC, February 14th was an entertaining day just because of all the crazy, dramatic displays that some guys put up in the hopes […]
Birthday Blog
I’m 27 years old today. An age that wasn’t even on my horizon a decade ago when I was at the blissful ‘queen of the world’ age of 17. Long ago, turning a year older was a big deal for me…I used to get so excited about my birthday that I had trouble falling asleep […]
