Sarai’s Blog Challenge: #34 What do you frequently spend money on?
7 comments on Sarai’s Blog Challenge: #34 What do you frequently spend money on?Books. *in Hermione Granger’s accent and voice* Well, it’s obvious, isn’t it? I can’t keep my hands from buying books! I get almost catatonic when I come into a bookstore that I can’t seem to leave without purchasing any book from it! I sometimes feel like I have a serious problem especially ever since I got a job and started earning some money that I’ve invested a lot of money… Continue Reading

Sarai’s Blog Challenge: #27 Why do you blog? What got you started?
During my sophomore year in high school, we were taught basic HTML (not really sure if we were taught CSS as well, but you get the idea.) Those were the days when I was amazed at the idea of having your own personalized web page that even at home I would make random web pages on our personal computer. I have also just discovered the Internet back then (as when… Continue Reading

All the way to the edge of desire
There was that inexplicable feeling that I always felt whenever I was about to turn to the last page of a book. I felt my breath hitch as I read the last few words that led on to the last page and then on to the last paragraph. This is it, I thought. This is where it ends. And right there I sat dazed for a while. Not because the… Continue Reading

I Guess I’m Ready to Love Again
There’s just something about tonight. I am not quite sure what it is as nothing special in particular happened today. Only the same routine of me getting up early to go to work, read e-mails and answer inquiries made by clients at work, eat my meals and then take a long trip to home. Perhaps it’s an epiphany of sorts but I can’t really trust myself to go with that… Continue Reading

Six Billion
At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes… all you need is one. Peyton Sawyer No matter how… Continue Reading

On a More Personal Note
When you grew up watching fairy tales and actually roleplaying any of the Disney Princesses, sometimes you get hopeful to find that prince charming ready to take you away to a happily ever after. After a while kids grow into teens and then into adults that some are faced with the realities of life and somehow lose that hope of a fairy tale type of story. But I guess somewhere… Continue Reading

What I’ve realized after winning NaNoWriMo 2011
I first joined NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) during the year 2007 after my friend Heather suggested that I should join and start writing a novel. I had no idea what I signed up for at first. What I did know was that the goal was to write fifty thousand words in a month. If you reach the goal, you win and if you don’t then better luck next time.… Continue Reading

NaNoWriMo 2011: On to reaching the goal! (and a few other things)
It started with a kick-drum-beating in my chest. The kind that vibrates through my veins and then pulsates through my finger tips. It wasn’t just the longing for a story—it was the urge to actually put into the words the narrative, the scenery, the characters, everything that has been conveyed in the recesses of my mind. That electric feeling started almost ten years ago when I was much of a… Continue Reading
