Missed Opportunities

The awkward silences after, almost unnoticed, when a response should have been made for clarification. Brushed off by most, and I wonder if I should have listened to the voice in my head. But the culmination of all that was broiling in my head only reached a conclusion hours later, the perfect reply articulated in [...]

Back into the Drone

Freshman orientation starts in a little over a week, and after that, school. For almost two weeks, catching up with friends who’ve been far far away. Back into the easy banter, wishing it didn’t have to end. When school starts, the circle changes again.
A slow process, figuring myself out, and it’s nice to know that [...]

Conflicts and ESTPs (I think)

I wouldn’t normally write about disagreements, but this guy whom I’m staying with until tonight (thank god) and I have had a couple of arguments (to him, to me it’s just another discussion, albeit slightly heated) with and he exclusively told me to tell my friends because he didn’t think I was making any sense [...]

Even FACEBOOK is in collusion with the school

Boggle (I refuse to use the name it goes by now) doesn’t load properly *scowls*. How am I going to procrastinate like that?
3 more papers.
And then, 3 more weeks.
I need to do a lot of packing in the meantime. Sigh.

Talking is so tiring sometimes

People, I know I have a lot of obscure references and leave you with fewer information than you can see right in front of you, but communicaton is MORE than just stringing words together.
Hello? What happened to body langauge and tone? The latter still exists in digital form you know.
Why do I have to keep [...]

WTF

The commercial, which was to promote a song by pop singer Olivia Yan, was aired on MTV Mandarin Channel on [...]

Of Conspiracies and Hypocrites

A tale not for me to recount. Even coloured by another’s lens, sifting through emotional outbursts, left behind is a load of matter significant in its non-usable form.
Disappointment, a word too light to encompass the sense of betrayal and failure of duty.
Anger, too strong, implying high expectations and previously imagined impressions crushed.
Pity, certainly, that such [...]

Stratification

Elitists-in-training, conformists.
Pandering to the wishes of the established.
Segregated, commoners you do not understand.
Association breeds empathy,
Sacrifices you cannot make.
Where you sit comfortably
Ensconced in your own domain,
Point of contact only your voice,
Instructions blithely given,
Fingers pointing.
We grovel, plead for time.
Backbreaking work,
Ourselves away from kin and kith.
There is only so much talking can do.
Sometimes you need to have a [...]

Protected: What I’ve Been Saying

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

3Ps: Politics, Panic and People

We avoid conflicts. By sending messages, physical or digital, to each other, because meeting personally would cause friction, especially when tempers are high. There are enough problems without us having internal conflicts.
Politics and bureacracy. Two things which I hate having to deal with, both of with are in abundance in a confined area where everyone [...]
