UAN PICTURE FOR U

I would take some photographs, so I can dream of you. This is a series of photos that tells my story. 1989. I love to wander, take photos, drink coffee and listen to music.

Here's the answer to your question.

I love how time seems not to exist the moment your lips touch mine. I love how your lips and fingers run so lightly on my skin, how your touch lingers like a promise, not rushing. I love the way you do it—slow, curious, and honest.

I don't know, but to me, it's not just pure desire. You asked me to describe how it feels to be touched by you, and all I can think of is that it's euphoric, breathing in the same rhythm. I'm forgetting there's no "you and I" to begin with.

You can love this version of yourself while becoming the person you want to be.

A love letter to your soulmate you have never met.

How are you?

Hi. It’s been a while. How are you coping with everything? All the changes brought about by life? With the seemingly unending effect of pandemic? It is so hard, if you asked me. I cannot remember how many nights I spent crying on my sleep. Wondering when will it be okay? When this will stop? When will I be able to visit home again. When will I see my family again? When will I be able to see my friends and embrace them? Some days are just harder than others, and I try my best to go on, taking it slowly. I hope you go on as well and never let this win over you.

Took this photo 10 years ago, in my college apartment with a very enthusiastic heart of wanting to show the world that “Life is beautiful” despite everything that has been thrown at you.

This is what I do every weekend, if I'm not sulking in my bed. 🧜‍♀️

I just realized

That it has been more than 5 years that I made an original Tumblr post, all of my recent post for the past years are from my Instagram and Twitter account. 

Funny how I don’t seem to realize it earlier that I was still able to remember my log-in credentials after years of not using this account, when I always forgot the password minutes after resetting it.

It feels good to back here.

Sunday. 7th of February, 2021 at exactly 11:59 am in the morning I begin writing this blog. 

I had been sulking in bed for the past several hours when I should be out there following my normal weekend routine—driving away from the city, diving into the blue, and putting my duties in the corner, letting myself sink into oblivion before Monday hits again. That is my routine, and I am happy with it. But yesterday I woke up feeling like there’s something missing—something I want to do.

There’s this irrefutable feeling I’ve been holding onto, and no matter how much I ignore it, it always creeps back in. It’s a feeling I can’t properly describe. I am happy and grateful for my life: I have a decent job that pays enough to sustain the lifestyle I choose. I get to have my own car, live in a comfortable place, pay my bills, eat the food I want, travel, and have a job that allows me to pursue hobbies like scuba diving and freediving—which are definitely not cheap—and I’m happy with that. I couldn’t ask for more. But there’s still this space between all that happiness, something I yearn for…

And I don’t know what it is. That frustrates me even more.

I look back at the things I used to do—writing my thoughts, taking photographs, finding inspiration in the world I’m moving through.

Maybe by starting this again, by going back to something I love, things will slowly fall into place and help me understand what I really want to do with my life—the missing piece that makes me feel incomplete.

For now, I’ll just enjoy the moment and be grateful for what I have.
