    Shy boy

    Aww poor baby shy as always. So funny how the introvert idols would hesitate then plunge right into it anyway. And Taemin never messes up a dance routine, even when forced to do it in a Gag Concert xD Watch for the wink at 0:04 <3 Gag Concert, Feb 9 2011, SHINee Lee Taemin baby Source: anjutehshi@yt

    Application to work for you

    I applied for ESSAYS.PH with this, and I got conditionally accepted months ago, only I was too lazy to go to the interview. Total fail. Maybe I can try again, if they accept writers like me who only want to write in the comfort of her limp computer chair, a mix of Kpop, Brandon Flowers and Eraserheads playing in the background. “The writer’s new best friend: Blogging” It all began with Dear Diary, and ended with Love. Fast forward and Carlo is left behind in advertising history, and the scented gel pen is replaced by Netbooks and color-coded QWERTY. The…

    My sister forgot her wilted roses

    Valentine’s day was Tangled movie date day with my sister. It was a fun movie (Rapunzel’s bipolar tendencies were precious), but the Sprite stock and the constant un-ladylike guffawing lead you straight to the ladies’ room after the screening.We were lining up to the cubicles when my sister’s dulcet tones floated above the din: “GAH!! I LEFT MY ROSES!” And by roses she meant the two now wilted stems she got that day, given by her harmless-as-a-fly boss to all of them single lady employees as a Valentine’s Day token. Sweet guy. “Idiot,” said I, cue eyeroll, and proceeded to…

    I wanted a Barbie Doll

    My last reflection paper for school, and most likely the last one I will ever be forced to write for a grade. It was a good exercise on hindsight, no matter how much I cringed doing these assignments. It put into order my eternal musings, and I think I will continue writing bits of these, even if only as Notes in my iPod. These things are highly personal, but somehow I kinda wish people can see them and make comments. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just hungry now xD When I was a kid I wanted a Barbie doll. I…

    Steve Jobs poked me right where it hurt

    Reposting Steve Job’s 2005 Commencement speech at Stanford U, plus the transcript. I’ve never been so moved by a speech before, and I think this is because he talked about the exact thing bothering me now. It has been bothering me for years, and again more actively, in the recent weeks. I pray I will be inspired to be courageous. I need to jump. Thanks for the iPod, Steve, and this. P.S. After watching this, I will most likely be saving up for a Mac. Way to go, marketing. Transcript of Commencement Speech at Stanford given by Steve Jobs SlashDot…

    “We’re going to build a two-storey house.”

    Kudos to anyone who will actually read this until the end, other than my professor. My father said this to me when I was in elementary school, a miniature me in my rumpled blue skirt and bleached white blouse, my bangs cropped short and uneven over my forehead. I stared at him in awe, sharing the dream. He would say this every time he comes home from Jeddha, in two-year intervals, and he would detail where the garage will be, and how my sisters and I will then finally have our own rooms. Despite my skepticism, I nod my head…
