I haven’t really blogged in a long time. A few days are a long time. I needed to take a break to reflect on the journey I’ve made, and how far I’ve come. I exited the gates of hell, and now where am I? I can’t define the place where I live as heaven. It…
I woke up this morning, my head still in a fog from the night before. I forced myself to walk to the bathroom, take a shower, brush my teeth, comb my hair and put on clothes, the routine kicking in while my muse yelled at me in the background. I jumped on the bus, checked my…
I like angels. They seem sweet, and kind. I can’t even imagine them being mean. Yet, I met lots of angels who turned into devils very quickly… and it surprised me. I was just a little girl, believing in the good human nature, when my ideas got suddenly shattered with a big pounding of the…
Black patent leather, 4 1/2 inch stiletto heels. It seems impossible for her walk, yet she strides along as if she was bare foot. Her long black dress gives a peek of her legs, the fabric softly brushing against her skin as she takes up the stairs. The slit on the side of her left…
There’s a lot I’d like to say about 9/11 and New York City, but I know everybody will be writing about it tomorrow, so I won’t dwell on the past and repeat the horrendous stories I heard when I was still a teenager aspiring to live the dream in the United States. Instead, I wanted…
In-laws. It’s like opening a Pandora box. You don’t really know what you’ll get, and once you do, you may want to run away very, very far. They’re technically your family now. By law. Certainly not by choice. They’re the extra accessory that comes with the main package – your wife or your husband, whom…
I wanted to write. Sitting by my keyboard as I would by my piano, I let my fingers play to create a melody I’m not really sure about, but I trust my instincts… I guess it’s always been like that. I never forced it. It came on its own and it guided my hands. These…
I stand on the subway platform, waiting for my train to arrive. The old routine’s kicking in as I distract myself and glance at the several billboards displaying upcoming TV series and movies, forcing me to look beyond the white tiles of the walls of the 86th street station. A few seconds pass before I…
Happiness is all in the tail swing. Believe me when I say that, because it’s true. See, I was a cow in a previous life. Don’t laugh. Cows are great animals. They have four stomachs and they eat grass all day. They stand outside, even when it rains, and they don’t care if their fur…
I’m feeling sad tonight. I’ve been feeling sad all week actually. It’s hard to explain why I get to such low moments like that, especially when there’s nothing wrong with me. Everything’s going fine in my life. But I still ache. My mind cannot stop thinking of all the things I’d like to say to…
