It Was Raining the Day You Left
The weather had been good for a couple of days, but the day you left, it was raining. When I woke up and went outside for smoking, I was surprised to find the soil was wet, and there were puddles in the backyard. That didn’t help at all. Already I was feeling gloomy, and the weather…

Windermere, Lake District
I just came back from a weekend getaway to the Lake District. I’d been planning to go there for a long time, but never really got time to do it until my old friends told me they were coming there. A few days before, I was still hesitating. As much as I wanted to go…

Some Bits of June
It’s eleven days into July already, but there are some traces of June that are left in my phone. I’ve been too lazy to bring my camera with me for the past few weeks, so I can’t be more grateful for phone camera. I try not to get attached with my phone, but there are…

June in a Nutshell
The weather this month has been very friendly that most of the days were spent outside. I lost count of how many picnics I’ve had, either real picnics or junk food picnics. Some times we were prepared with proper food and grill. Other times we just needed an excuse to go outside and lie in…

May
How come it’s June already? It feels like it was just a few days ago that I came back to Southampton from Ljubljana at midnight, deadly exhausted, where in fact it was 6 weeks ago. I honestly can’t remember what I did in those 6 weeks, it’s been such a big blur. Going to the library everyday…

Spring Equinox and Franz Ferdinand Concert
It’s a coincidence that the spring equinox is also the international day of happiness (or is it really a coincidence?). Although the weather isn’t as merry as the past few days, it doesn’t dampen my mood. Things have been really, really good lately. And last night, it was even better. One of my best nights…

Spring Fever!
The weather has been really great for the past few days. Yesterday it was so sunny that everyone went out with only t-shirt and shorts. Of course, I gladly welcome the sun like a long-lost friend. Having been a whiny girl back home whenever the sun was scorching, I didn’t have the slightest idea that…

Isle of Wight
The thing about living close to the Isle of Wight is, I never actually planned to go there as I thought I could hop on the ferry whenever I wanted and be there in less than an hour. It’s that close. One day I bumped into Lukas at the campus and told him about the plan to…
