prexypinoy to the world

When you’re 21, it feels like you’ve just been freed from boundaries, gates and fences. You wanna do everything your mind can conceive. You have the energy, the youthful vibe, you go with the tide, you can surf, you can leap. You want to explore, to get things done, to join the crowd, to hype. 21 is to liberate. I did that when I was 21. I had late nights spent in coffee shops and vacation leaves spent on whimsical trips here and there. No bills, no rents, no groceries, just a taste of freedom from someone who earned her money just after college. At 24, after mustering the courage to close my eyes and jump off a cliff, I went away from home. I am not usually the type who goes for something as heavy as deciding to leave home- my family who meant more to me than anything. But I thought, if I wouldn’t do it at 24, I would never have the guts to do it any later. I thought I am at the stage of my life wherein I can shoot for the stars and land on a tree; climb the mountain and if...

To the FUTURE SELF, After 10 years, what have you become? Perhaps, you’ve achieved your greatest dream—a happy and healthy family of your own. How many kids have you got? 4? As per your old preference? I hope so. How’s your cool parents? Your ever stage sister? Hope they are all good. What am I supposed to write? Of course, it’s best to run down the memory lane… 10 years ago, you were the enthusiastic, adventurous and giddy girl. I can remember the spark in your eyes, the mischievous glitter when we talk about something that interests you. People loved talking to you as you are animated, bold and funny. You look formal on the outside but when people know you more or even as night falls and you’re with your gang; your laughter echoes the room. How green can a green joke be? How naughty can your imagination go? It’s you who remembers better. Most of the time, you were calm and contained. You don’t get mad easily but when you do, you couldn’t sleep without sharing your ...

How can a huge plane vanish just like that? Many speculations have been surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. It’s just so unimaginable that this could happen. Coming fresh from watching Nonstop by Liam Neeson where he played as the Air Marshall and that there were 2 hijackers on the plane, I cannot rule out the possibility of terrorism in this incident. 2 of the said 227 passengers had been using stolen EU passports! Just like the movie, it could be that these 2 passengers planned the hijack. Guess you can say, I am watching a lot of these movies, but really, it’s just so unbelievable. It appears that under the flight monitor, the plane could be seen but less than midway to Beijing ; the tracker was lost and totally went off from the monitor. How can that be? I have read that the tracker can be switched off from the cockpit, if that’s the case, then we cannot rule out the possibility that someone intentionally switched it off for ...

My Goodness!! Haven’t written anything here for the last 2, 3 months? Anyway, I just came back from the oh so lovely Japan ! Did I mention, I did all the preps for a year? I had gone through the worst of times but I held on because of Japan , in a way, it made me a stronger person. It helped me pull myself back together during those times that I felt so lost and very empty. Drama aside, Japan has been… one word, and in wide eyes, WOW! I have never been to a more picturesque place in my entire life. It’s like going to a different world, where modern meets the old and where the eyes can see beyond the realm of time and space. Am I overrating Japan ? Maybe. But I love how I was able to see the different sides. I went to the ultra modern Tokyo, where toilet seats are of heaters, then I went to Kyoto, where everything turned 360 and I saw the good old temples, I headed to Osaka, where I felt home. A hybrid of the city and rural life. I went to Kobe and appreciated the...
