Oeuvre Revealed

Writing seems to be my way of pouring out my thoughts, of letting go what I feel, of letting others know my fears, dreams, hopes and aspirations.

Late night thoughts and realisations

I was watching Apprentice One Championship Edition. I am not yet done so I can’t say any spoilers yet. It’s probably 3 years too late, but I’m glad I started watching it. When the first business challenge came up, I was impressed by Nazee. She’s like the manager I’d really want to work for, someone who can compartmentalise tasks and people, breaking down everything into smaller groups. Because…

Taking Chances

What fears have you overcome and how? I have always been apprehensive of change in my workplace. But after 7 years of going into routine, working with the same people, doing the same stuff, I realize that I havent been growing. Ive been too contented. But being brave and taking the risk of pursuing my passion for arts and creativity opened me to opportunities I never thought I’d encounter and…

Extraordinary Attorney Woo (EAW)

When the series aired its first episode, a lot of people were saying that it’s almost just like an enhanced version of other stories with the autistic genius plot weaving his or her way in the real world. Good Doctor, an original korean drama series, talks about a guy with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), who despite the disability made it possible to achieve his dream of becoming a surgeon, his…

How to be Nonchalant

How to be Nonchalant

They say you are your own enemy and I guess it’s true. For me, it is, anyway. I have been torturing myself over things that I don’t have control, pushing myself to a limit that’s not mine, trying to achieve things not because I want to and not because it is what I truly desire, but because it makes me at par with people around me. It creates a leverage among my peers that makes me somehow like…

This Is Your Main Love Language, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

This Is Your Main Love Language, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Gary Chapman once said in his book that human beings have what we now call love languages—the method to which a person expresses his or her love and at the same time the way a person receives somebody’s affection. The five love languages that human beings have are receiving gifts, words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, and acts of service. These are important, because how your love…

5 Reasons Why We Choose The People Who Will Never Love Us Back

This is quite a simple question to answer, right? I know. You’re probably wondering, “Is this girl for real? Does she need to write a 500-word article to explain this?”. But you might be surprised at how this question is so broad that one could even compose a 1000 article about it. Anyway, most of you would tell me that it’s just really simple. We choose to love those who don’t love us back…

These Are The 3 Types Of Guys You’ll Love In Your Lifetime

It’s undeniable that we get attracted with people whom we admire certain qualities, may they be physical or personality wise. But it’s rare that we actually fall in love and be in love with all of them. Of course there is that certain level of admiration where we could say that we just like them but that’s it. But there are those whom we’re hopelessly riveted to and it seems like they’re the only…

6 Ways You Can Start Making Yourself Happier Today

6 Ways You Can Start Making Yourself Happier Today

With all the drama and chaos in the world, most often if not always, we worry too much about the world. We simply think too much about it and complicate things that are usually too easy to decipher, problems that will always have solutions, dilemmas than can easily be resolved and the list goes on and on. We hold on too much with the past that we often forget that we’re living in the present.…

An open letter from the girl who wore her heart on her sleeve

I knew that when I entered this game, I wouldn’t leave unscathed. I’ll get bruises. I’ll get burned. I’ll be hurt. But I didn’t listen to what my mind had to say. I continued on this path. I even had the bravado that I was the one leading whatever it was that we had. I was so confident that I was not the one falling in love but that person. But I was wrong. I was wrong to think that I’d leave…

The Art of Being Unafraid

I wanted to have an early start on this one, just cause I like the idea of mastering the art of being unafraid, of facing things head on, of looking at things in a broad perspective, of seeing things with an outlook of positivity. To see the silver lining, in Catriona Gray’s words, in every situation we are in. Not my words though (The Art of Being Unafraid) so thank you to that person who…

An open letter to all men who wants to date a strong independent, career-driven woman who has been single for a long time

You need to understand that a woman who has been single for a long time has always been used to doing things by herself. She takes herself to work, may she be commuting or driving her own cars. She can buy her own food. She wouldn’t wait for you to bring her food because she can just order on her phone. She will not pine for you if you don’t have the time to accompany her to do some errands…

How to deal with partners coming from long-term relationships

It is inevitable that we encounter someone who has just got off from a relationship that was built for a long time and with whom we find a connection. It’s even more undeniable when we finally allow ourselves to commit to someone knowing what we’re going into. Love will always find its way to creep into our hearts and our lives, such that we ought to stay guarded.   Few people ask how they…

On ghosting and moving on

They say that closure is not just finally deciding to part ways. Closure is also putting an end to a relationship that is now working, may it be mutual or one-sided. Most people say that not having a closure is already a closure itself and for some time I have always dismissed this idea. I have always believed that moving on and letting go should be a mutual decision. But as you get older you…

Twenty Five Twenty One: A Review

Twenty Five Twenty One: A Review

The more I think about it, the more I realize that 2022 is like Korean drama’s 2016 era. There were a lot of good ones that were released simultaneously. Many people think the same as well. One of which is this drama that revolves on the story of an athlete and the people around her, their success as well as challenges, their downfalls as well as the decisions they made. There’s a lot of…
