Those Surprises
image source Sometimes I wonder if the universe loves to play jokes on me, just to see my reaction. I met one of my closest friends here a year ago, one day after my birthday. I was hanging out at The Hobbit with my other friends — who were pushing shots at me — when…

On the Memory of Christmas
I always say that I don’t know if last Christmas was a curse, or a gift. The day I met a stranger, danced with him, and fell in love. Of course, at first it was just a physical attraction, probably with a bit of help from the sangria and wine. Later on, the feeling built…

A Birthday Story
I’ve never been the one who likes to celebrate my own birthday. If it’s for friends, or family, bring it on. I’d do everything to make that day special: planning a party and midnight surprise, making a video or scrapbook, running all around town to get pictures of people holding a birthday banner, you name…

Happy Birthday, Timothy!
I met Timothy in my first year of college, knowing nothing more than his reputation of ‘the cool guy with the perfect GPA’. Little did I know that later on, we would become best friends. In our third year of college, we became the committee for LFM, and that’s how we got close. In one year period,…

A Year of Many Things
Around this time last year, I came to Southampton with no expectation at all. I knew I’d have a whole lot of things to experience, but never have I ever imagined that this year would be the best year in my life. I thought I would spend a year of meeting people with lots of…

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…

Ljubljana
It’s been 4 months (four!) since I went to Ljubljana, and I must admit that I’m really bad at keeping track of my travel journal. Oh well, better late than never. So after six-hours trip from Salzburg, I arrived at Ljubljana and Maša picked me up at the train station. When she asked, ‘Are you tired?’ I…

Happy Birthday, Divie!
This girl. She’s really one of a kind. I might be biased here, but she’s one of the people I adore the most. A smart, beautiful girl with positive attitude towards life. She plays music, she writes, and she always has a lot on her plate, and only god knows how she manages to do it all…

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…
