WatchI’m sorry that I’m one of those people that fill up your tumblr with posts but Yi-Ting Cheng’s Secret Stash project completely blew my mind away. Stunning!

Elevators.
I was in a hotel in Vegas that looked like the Bellagio. Dark red velvet walls, gold lining, white marble floors. Mirrors everywhere. I stepped onto the elevator and press for the main floor. A woman with dark glasses was already on it. Only elevator music interrupted the awkward silence as we began our fourteen floor descent. There was a creaking, a pause, and then the elevator let go of the...

Something struck.
I know it’s weird to say something like a mainstream show struck the chords of your heart but it did for me. I’ve been watching so much CSI lately that my nightmares are revolving around murder plots. I can’t say I haven’t become jaded to all that death. But today, I watched something that contributed to the greater arc of the series. There was a shred of humanity in the...

"I never saved anything for the swim back."
When I was a junior in high school, my AP psychology teacher didn’t have anything in particular planned for us after the AP exams so we watched a movie, Gattaca (1997). Vincent, a son whose parents granted natural birth, aspired to be an astronaut, a job reserved for those who were granted perfection at birth through genetic engineering, like his younger brother, Anton. Anton was taller,...

The Last One.
I have not seen the last episode of Friends: “The Last One”. I must have seen all the other episodes at least twice but the last one, I have never even touched it. Because if I don’t, then it doesn’t really seem like it ended; it’s just on a hiatus or a seasonal break and I can still enjoy the other episodes without the nagging, heavy feeling that there are no more...

Lessons of Last-Night Shenanigans
Go places with people you trust. Seriously, people you trust with your life. Who else will take care of you?
I have taste aversion to tequila, dragonfruit, and now, lemonade. Hopefully, that will go away soon ‘cause I really like lemonade :( Tequila, well. That I can live without.

According to Christina, I am an active drunk. I wanted to...

You, me, and the rest of the world.
“That was so hard. Did you get number 8? I don’t even remember learning it.”
“Dude, me neither.”
It’s not so much that I’m comforted by the fact that we fail finals in groups of people but no one was born with instructions on how to succeed or be the best.
But I love the fact that we’re all kind of winging it.
I’m with you. I got your...

Any Other World
Head back, hair plastered across her forehead. A breeze lingered, barely swaying the uncut grass.
Her eyes danced under her eyelids, thin as grape skin. In her dreams, it seemed like she could all that she could only watch in life. She dreamed saying words that never reached this world.

Best Friends.
Ginah (1: 13 AM) : Focus on what's important as of now. Academics. Push everything else out of your mind.
Ginah (1: 13 AM) : I'LL CHECK UP ON YOU TOMORROW. GOODBYE
Thank you for being my discipline, my best friend, and a reminder of how to live, how to improve, and how to be a friend.
