Love is Blind and Thick

Some people really need to wake up their idea. Look, if your current boyfriend attempts to strangle you (not in jest), swears and shouts at you in front of your friends, falls into frequent unexplanable rages and takes it out on you, goes crazy when you don’t pay him enough for doing something for you [...]

Michael

This is my brother whom I love more than anything else in this world. This morning, as I was sobbing my heart out (sickness + depression + loneliness + stress), he called me, out of the blue. Aunty Lucy said he’d wanted to talk to me for a week and he c-r-y-ed in kindergarten because [...]

Sometimes I really wonder if my friends care all that much. I’ve been really ill for three days already but no one has uttered so much as a word of sympathy….even something as simple as that would help. My new friends have been so wonderful though. I’m so thankful for them, but I can’t help [...]

Happy Valentines!

Today was a sad day because I’m sick but I have a 4000 essay due on Thurs which is making my head spin. My table is littered with pills. I’m a bona fide druggie. I think after this exchange stint I’ll be somewhat of an expert in self-medication. UK doctors are so useless. Esp the [...]

Night

There are few things more depressing than falling sick away from home. Thank God for Maria, who made me porridge… Thanks dear..
Sometimes the night is so quiet it seems to fold in on itself. All the happinesses, the sadness, the dread and the envy withdraw to their respective homes. Looking out, all you [...]

He held her hands within his own
And she knew then she’d never be alone
For he promised to love her till forever came
And even then he would love her still the same

The Red Shoes

There’s something about red shoes that I cannot resist. And some racy patent leather shine to that and I’m drooling. Add Louboutin’s infamous red soles and I’m a puddle of biological goo. *sigh* How like that. To my defense I would like to add that I am not the first in the history of womenkind [...]

Time Machine

Have you ever caught a whiff of perfume, or the scent from a burning candle somewhere that immediately rekindles a memory or evokes a certain place? I’m prone to that…the first time it happened was with M&S Cocoa Butter handwash – I remembered an outing with the girls to watch Anastasia, oh-so-long ago in the [...]
