Shall we sleep
my love?
Fall into the hazy
palm of it
and feel its long
fingers wrap
around our flesh?
Shall we take
note of the shallow
indentations
its grip leaves
behind on our skin?
Shall we sleep
my love?
Become the quiet
sound in our ears
of our heartbeat
against the pillow?
Feel our breath
leave our lungs
and imagine it
stirring together
and dancing
above our heads?
Shall we sleep
my love?
Trade all the light
and fury of this
for all the color
and calm of that?
Curl together and
watch as our legs
become roots
that grow down from
this bed and plant
themselves into
the earth below?
Intertwine.
Shall we sleep
my love?

You Just Know when...
You're spending too much time with your Chinese Friends...
- You started collecting chopsticks in different colors, materials and Origin
- You eat way too much spicy stuff which explains why
- You always have a runny-nose
-You put anything in your mouth even when they smell funny and you can't understand the label
-Your plates are unused and you use bowls instead when you eat
-You drink too much tea and you suddenly forgot your love affair with Frappuccinos
- You suddenly excited to go to Dragon Mart and ChinaTown when you used to breathe-and-eat only Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall
- When You started singing Xie Fe DeYi in your head for no reason at all and your intense obsession with Jerry Yan resurrected
- You just started gaining weight and you feel like your losing height ( if that's even possible, because they are like giants when you're walking together...arrgh!)

Dear Universe,
Sometimes it's better not knowing, sometimes it's better to leave things as they are and stop questioning because sooner or later you will definitely find what you're looking for.
And if sometimes I forget to say thank you, please forgive me. I usually say many thanks to even the most mundane of things. It's not so hard to make me happy that's why when I receive better than I'd expected I will appreciate you from head to toe.
Thank you very much for taking care of me. Thank you for listening and just being there whenever I crave for a big-fat hamburger and spend an hour or two on foot just to look for the best burger joint in town. It's so sad that you will be leaving, just promise me I will be the first one you will call once you get pregnant. I will fly to Canada, I swear.
The nights alone were not so bad after all. The quiet evenings with friends flocking at my doorstep and just those nights when I fell asleep reading my daily dose of literature were just the memorable ones. I feel whole. I feel positive that everything is just within my reach.
I still have a lot of things that I want to do. But for some reason, I feel something weird going inside of me. I cannot help but look at them and wish for my own whenever they stare at me. Aren't those so lovely?
And there are some things that will never change. Only God knows when or how. I am hopeful and thankful for all the wonderful things happening in my life.
The people, the surprises and those plans still on the works, Oh my I am so excited.
You have no idea how many times you cross my mind every single day and wishing you're mine.
You have no idea how you made my night when you said you will be on my queue next time because I have the best smile ever ( hahaha...)
Thank you for the big-fat tip you hide under your palm when you shook my hand and you said I'm lovely ( hahaha...) and how my young boss couldn't help but make fun of me afterwards.
Thank you for opening the door everytime and giving me my uniform instantly, it's like you know my number by heart I don't need to say it aloud.
Thank you for buying my sales pitch even when you don't need to stay in a very overpriced suite, it's the girlfriend you want to blow away I know but hey I got a great percentage. So I hope You had the best experience ever.
Thank you for just being there. I know you're just there. So I will just wait. I can't wait to meet you...

Note to Self
I know it's tempting, but on second thought I don't want to get hit by another big bus on my way home...
EveryDay
What if
every day
is the perfect day
to
finally be
exactly
who you
were always
meant
to be?

Timbre
It's the sound
of your voice
that goes
straigth through
me.
Straight through
to the center
of all I
am
and swims
softly
inside.

Bonding Time with The Girls
You have them with a bottle of tequila and a couple of vodka shots when you're really down..
and half a gallon of Chunky Monkey and Chocolate brownie Fudge when someone breaks your heart...
We're Lovin' Ramadan with shorter working hours and 2days++ off ... So we decided to bring spa to our room. From head to foot, from Brunch to Midnight... With tons of stories, pictures, revelations, Chinese Food and the Infamous Sour Shrimp Soup...plus the fake British accent...

An Instant Pick me Up!
Oyo Sotto and Kristine Hermosa from Bong Sare on Vimeo.
Coco + James Wedding // Short Film from Coco Rocha on Vimeo.
Carlo and Cat from Bob Nicolas on Vimeo.
I just know how to cheer myself up when all else fails...
When no amount of Ben and Jerry's can draw a smile to my face...
I still believe in happily-ever-after, being a die-hard-romantic at heart watching these just make me alright again.

I woke up with a bad headache. I can't wait to be normal again. To sleep like a normal person and eat like one. Two nights to go...
Off is coming and I have a list to finish.
During mindless nights, I've realized :
You just know when the fever broke, that's the only time you finally say you're "well".
When the old scar is hardly visible it doesn't give you butterflies anymore.
When you don't give a damn about what other people say or think because you know better and it feels so right!
When I started to worry , -that's the indication I don't pray as much anymore.
To say what you feel when you feel it, and the hell with it, so what? if I do, I mean it anyway.
To embrace what makes me happy and expect nothing, I believe I will reap what I sow.
To make plans and fulfill them makes me feel "me" again.
When cooking is therapeutic and I find time to do it, my mom is gonna love this.
That I can stay and I wish to be right where my heart is.
... and I'm so hungry now.

How did it ever
come to be
that you,
yes you,
are filled with
quite so many
variations?
You are You,
clearly,
when I cannot help
but whisper out
‘I love You.’
But
but then again
you are She
when truth
and excitement sink
their hooks into
each other
and I once again
cannot help
but say aloud
‘She is the most
beautiful woman
I have ever seen.’
She and You but also
Her for we both know
there are times
my lips run away
with themselves
and I watch helplessly
as the phrase
‘Because I love Her,’
dances out of my mouth
and scatters into
the night air.
Somedays
and by somedays
I mean all days
you are also
the better half
of We, maybe the W
maybe the E
when I stumble
over the sentence
through shaking lips
‘We will be fine.’
On top of it all
and standing proudest
you are also I
because you demand
and earn and deserve
my utmost respect and
attention
whenever
you look at me
and say
‘I love only you.’
Whatever form
whatever variation
you might choose
or that might choose
you
I think that my favorite
is when your skin
finds my skin
and we finally become
Us.
Tyler Knott Gregson
Partly Cloudy
I love
when I
sit alone
in a room
and the light
explodes
as it often does
when the sun
stops its hiding behind
the cloud.
Perhaps
it’s not
the dark
that grows quieter
but some lightness
in me
growing louder?
-Tyler Knott Gregson-
it's the first day of the month, and I'm in a cranky mood....:-(and i don't know if it's the weather, the boss, the food or me loving my bed too much that I don't have the slightest desire to go out...
