041 E: The gates were open, but I was lucky

19/8/26 21:08 I skipped July! Anyway. When I was 8, my family moved to a new neighborhood. The residential area was newly renovated and spacious, therefore, quiet. I was still schooling at the time, so not much of my daily routines had changed following the relocation. On weekdays, my mom would wake me up at dawn to catch our bus scheduled to fetch me at 5:00. Classes start at 7:00 and I usually reach school an hour before that. I vividly remember watching the dark skies of dawn turn blue everyday I passed time in school before classes start. You can only imagine how much darker the skies were while I was waiting in my porch at 5 in the morning. The gates of that house were automated, and my mom usually goes back to nap in the living room once she made sure we were up and dressed for school. So every morning, my preteen sisters and I waited at the front porch of a fancy house, unattended in a quiet neighborhood, with no sense of caution, under the dark sky, before wide open gate...

040 Th: Who you don't want to be

19/06/16 19:37 When you stepped off on the wrong foot and slip, you fall. Maybe you shouldn't have walked the same path if you knew you were going to lose your balance. To continue walking is to change your pace, the kind of pace you hate walking in. 19:40

038 Review: The Legend of Zhen Huan (甄嬛传)

19/4/18 14:48 Summary The Legend of Zhen Huan depicts life in the Forbidden City during Emperor Yong’s reign ( 雍正 ). The story follows Huan ( 甄嬛 ) as she overcomes the trials and tribulations of concubinage in the palace. With each strife and betrayal, she was forced to cope and adapt to the virulent environment. Thoughts I finished 76 episodes in 4 days, that’s how fucked up my schedule was. Anyway, this was a real good watch. I thoroughly enjoyed how well the messages were presented to the audience. Though, at some points it gets quite boring, like really. I had to skim through some episodes. But it only happens after something big happened and the boredom is just the calm before another storm. I enjoyed watching Yan Xi more than Zhen Huan, with Yan Xi each episode kept me entertained and there were no abysmal troughs. But at some point in Zhen Huan, I thought to myself, how much longer is this arc going to go on? I was bored out of my mind and just read the recaps ...

036 Rules of Dealing with the Paranormal (as perceived by me)

19/2/28 21:34 Paranormal events are interesting, I like listening to anecdotes of them, best told in mandarin. I'm just making a rough estimate here, but if I were to guess, I would assume I heard around 50 hours worth of anecdotes over the past 2 years. Thus, I must make a list of rules one must abide by in paranormal situations!  Always be respectful and not insult the dead: Knowingly or unknowingly, offended spirits can punish you! Make sure you are worshiping the right entity: Deity may cease occupying an idol that isn't maintained properly. Spirits can inhabit those idols without your knowledge and worshiping them attracts bad luck. Don't make direct contact with them: Even if you see, act like you didn't. Even if you heard, ignore it. Don't respond and don't sympathize. Don't make deals with spirits: It can be a win-win situation, but in retrospect, you get the shorter end of the stick. Always fulfill your deals: They can and will torment you...

035 Love like that

19/01/03 22:22 First things first, Happy New Year. Kay. I was just thinking of Miley and Liam, their relationship. They tied the knot recently after 10 years, it wasn't the smoothest ride, but at least all is well. The relationship was pretty, almost like a movie. I don't know much about Liam other than the fact that he starred in The Hunger Games, but Miley, I knew her since Hannah Montana. I wasn't attached to Miley's image in her Disney days, maybe because I was too young to understand what's so good about her. I remember watching a video of her smoking and high on drugs, did a risque photo shoot, posting weird videos on Youtube with rebellious make-up. Those were the things I knew her as, she didn't change to someone worse, she was originally just 'someone slutty'. I didn't care enough to search then, so I don't know the world's opinion on her. But as far as I remember, nobody I knew liked Miley. She laid low for a while then cam...
