The Death of Perfection
2007-08-10 03:29:00 The death of the supermodel is the death of perfection, or more accurately, the death of the icon of perfection.

It?s raining men!
2007-08-09 03:19:00 Er - I wish it were raining men, that is! The reality is, it’s raining…well…cats and dogs! Been raining cats and dogs since the other day. It’s typhoon season, the streets are flooded, classes were suspended yesterday, and people are stuck inside their homes. Yes, people are staying in, and your writer has no choice ...

Hyperfocus and Flow
2007-08-08 04:59:00 I came upon an article by another blogger about hyperfocus and flow. It was enlightening because it was only then that I realized the two terms are the technical terms for the popular phrase “in the zone”. I think the subject makes for an interesting discussion, so I looked both terms up in Wikipedia. Hyper focus is ... More About: Philosophy , Inspirational , Observations , Flow
In absentia

WOLF
2007-08-05 11:02:00 I don’t think I’ll get to finish writing my entire collection of poems on my poetry page today. I’ll try to have it done before the end of next week, I promise.

AMONGST MANY LIVES
2007-08-05 09:12:00 I feel like I am living amongst lives, amongst lifetimes. The state I am in at this point could be a permanent one, or it could also be just a temporary incarnation of one girl (all right, woman), and a year from now I could be living a totally different life again. I am ... More About: Life , Random , Musings , Observations , Lives
Before I take a shower
2007-08-04 11:21:00 This is gonna make you laugh. And if it doesn’t, then I guess that will just prove how weird I am for finding humor in this story, if you can even call it that. Try to make sense of it. It’s a classic example of a crime against the English language. A Love Story There’s this ... More About: Humor , Random , Shower , Fore

2007-08-03 03:47:00 I’m still reeling from the shock, but I stumbled upon some rather magnificent? stupefying? mind-blowing? news yesterday. To protect my friend, I will continue using initials. W is finally out of the closet! There have always been speculations, but there has never been a definite answer. We were friends in college. He and A and ...

We?re in heaven
2007-07-30 05:49:00 A message from S (I am so not happy that I have to use initials!): “You need to feel a bit deprived at times, a bit lonely, and in a way, incomplete… Cause if you’ve got everything here on earth, would you still look up to heaven?” My question for S and everyone else is this, ...

2007-07-28 05:09:00 N (I’m using initials now because my friends have asked/begged me to stop using their real names…spoilsports!) told me that I write beautifully but she couldn’t figure out what some of my blogs mean.

Friggin? hair!
2007-07-28 03:47:00 Aaah! My hair is so stubborn! I’ve been coloring it black because I want to have long, straight, jet black hair. The long and straight parts are easy to maintain, since my hair is naturally long and straight. But it seems to refuse to stay jet black! Just two weeks ago, I had it darkened ...

Just friends?
2007-07-25 05:27:00 Oh, btw, remember Dean? The guy I can’t figure out? It’s official. He is really weird. Yup, he texted me again. Just a “Hi, Russ!” And that was it. If all he wants is somebody to exchange text messages with, then he’s going to have to find someone else because I’m not into that. Remember ... More About: Rants , Friends , The Game , Just Friends
Centripetal motion
2007-07-25 04:39:00 I am finding myself in a very weird situation right now. To avoid any more drama, I will not elaborate. Although I think it’s too late by now… The plot already has enough twists that I’m pretty sure it would be tabloid fodder if I and the other thespians in this play were celebrities. Imagine ...

Maxims for non-believers
More articles from this author:2007-07-21 19:50:00 These maxims were not created by yours truly. I found them on some website. 1. Being a non-believer does not mean you have to be intolerant of those who believe. 2. Being a non-believer does not mean you have to be ignorant of the beliefs of those around you. 3.
