Him: Girls would always launch into some heavy talk just before you fall asleep.
Me: Hell yeah we do!

Truth

I hate to break a heart but I’m never one to string people on. Not that I’m so altruistic, mind you. I’m just as selfish as the next person, maybe even a little more. Just that unwanted attention annoys the hell out of me. Rather self-contradicting, isn’t it, knowing the attention seeker that I am.
So [...]
Laugh, and the world laughs with you

Weep, and you weep alone.
…
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

Chả biết thế quái nào mà cả 2 tuần nay người mình cứ thấy mỏi nhừ. Sáng ngủ dậy đau lưng, đau cổ kinh khủng hoảng. Tới nỗi tối không muốn đi ngủ vì biết là sáng dậy sẽ chỉ thấy lờ đờ chứ không thấy tỉnh táo sảng khoái chi hết. Mà không phải [...]

Is it weird if I’m actually glad that A. doesn’t “do” Valentine’s day? To be strictly honest, I guess a tiny part of me wouldn’t mind a card or a little unusual gift on the day. But the larger part of me (and no, I’m not referring to my bum!) was actually relieved that there [...]

A. có người bạn sắp đi VN chơi 2 tuần. Anh này chưa tới VN bao giờ nên băn khoăn không biết VN có giống Thái Lan & Campuchia không. Mình kêu không khác nhiều lắm đâu, chỉ khác mỗi cái là tui khuyên ông đi về xong thì đừng chỉ trích VN với tui, [...]

his eyes
deep pools of endless blue
she finds herself diving in
unwillingly
.
the ocean
vast sheet of silky green
waves rushing in her dreams
unrelentingly

magic
that word no one believes in
who knows it could come true
unexpectedly
.
she falls

Despite all my best efforts, I can’t take my mind away from the devastating bushfires that are still raging in places around Victoria. The atmosphere’s been thick with smoke for the last two days. Even the harsh Aussie summer sun can’t seem to get through, and only manages to cast a muted, hazy, orangy light [...]
The fires

You might have noticed that posts have been rather sparse in the last few days. It’s not that I’m lazy. Okay, it’s not just that. Nor that I didn’t have anything to write about, quite the opposite. But everything seems to fade in significance when one thinks of the devastating tragedy of those horrifying bushfires [...]

This morning I checked and there were two, yes, TWO!, of what I may call negative criticisms, left on this blog. One on my “skinny whinge” telling us to “get over ourselves”, and that “there are people with actual problems” out there. The other on my “poo catcher pants” review, calling me a silly bitch [...]
