One of the most popular pieces of advice I hear when it comes to relationships is this: don’t go into one expecting the other person to change. In the early stages of romance and love, it’s too easy to fall head over heels, and in the process, happily overlook any niggling faults he/she may have [...]
It hasn’t been the best of days. I seem to have channelled whatever frustrations from the workplace I have towards becoming as angsty and grumpy as I can, surprising even myself with my impatience at times. At 6pm I was so ready to call it a day, but deadlines loom large and I decided to [...]
I really liked my Havaianas. They weren’t even mine to start, but my brother-in-law outgrew them and they fitted me perfectly. They went with (almost) everything and I wore them everywhere – I’m sloppy, you see. And I don’t know how, but the left slipper broke as I was getting out of the car the [...]
It has been raining every day for 16 days straight. I know because I have been counting. That’s like, more than half a month in a row.
The good thing about the rain is the cool weather. It poured this morning and I spent my entire Saturday morning tucked snugly in bed.

Curiosity (and the word ‘shopping’) got the better of Y this morning, and he quickly skimmed the first couple paragraphs of my post. Too lazy to read the entire thing, he clicked on the link instead.

I’ve been pretty slow to jump on the bandwagon, simply [...]
I want to get away; it’s been far too long since my last holiday. It’s not the workload that gets to me – that I can definitely deal with; it’s the amassing bullshit, creeping disillusionment and growing cynicism that I’m worried about.
Some days I wish I were a talented novelist. It’s the only job [...]
My brother-in-law has been grounded for a week. I’m not sure exactly what his infractions were, but he’s also been stripped of mobile phone, Internet and television privileges. He’s calling it house arrest and has pasted a sign on his bedroom door in protest. I support my parents-in-law’s decision a hundred percent. So does Y. [...]
…that the Arctic ice cap is melting so dramatically. A quick google brought up this Q&A about how and why it affects us and this report that actually surfaced in December last year.
