The Other Side of Southampton
I had a crappy week. So crappy that I was on the verge of tears for a few days. The weather didn’t help as well. It’s been raining everyday and I didn’t even bother to bring my umbrella with me, as it wouldn’t be much use. The other day, I was on my way to…

Edinburgh
I wrote about Arthur’s Seat and Edinburgh Castle before, and now I finally managed to find some time to write about my whole experience in that short trip. On my third day in Southampton, I was queuing to enroll (5 hours of standing, no less) when I started chatting with two people in front of…

Edinburgh Castle
On my third day in Edinburgh, I went to the castle despite the terrible weather. I should’ve done that earlier since it was weekend and the line was long.

The Beginning of 2014
It’s been such a whirlwind for the past few weeks. When the Christmas break started, I let myself relax for a bit and thought there would be 3 weeks before I have to slave myself. In the name of my love for Harry Potter, I made a day trip to London to have the studio…

Christmas This Year
Christmas this year is a whole new experience for me. For one thing, this is the first time I celebrate it far away from my family. I used to take it for granted, coming home only one or two days before the Christmas day, but now that I’m alone I can’t stop wishing I…

A Step Out of Reality, Into the Imagination
I’m a big fan of Harry Potter, as probably everybody else in the world has claimed themselves to be. I started reading it when I was ten, sometimes wanted to smack my sister if she read one chapter for far too long (we decided to read it one chapter each, as no one was patient…
