A Reaction to Obscurophobia

Originally Posted on October 31, 2007 I just had an epiphany earlier this week. More and more people suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder these days. It's as if people are suddenly desperately craving for attention that they would do the silliest things just to make people notice them, just to get people to look their way. I personally know a few people who behave like this. They seem forever restless. It's like they're deathly afraid to pass even a second of having the attention of nobody. They crave so much for it that they fall short of actually accosting you physically just to get you to notice them. I'm painting rather pitiful pictures of these beings, am I not? But I'm serious. I really do know people like these. I'm quite curious. Do they fear the possibility of experiencing obscurity for a few measly minutes or hours? Why is that? What is so scary about experiencing seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks of being unnoticed? I perso...

What Closet?!

Originally posted on October 9, 2007 “I am not attracted to girls!” I have been reiterating that statement time and time again that I think the impact of it has gone stale. Yes, I don’t have a boyfriend. And yes, I have never had any before in the whole of my almost twenty-seven years here on Earth. So what?! That doesn’t  mean I am not attracted to the opposite sex nor does it mean that I am now entertaining the idea of going after “Eve” instead of “Adam”. I mean, come on! I don’t deny that I can appreciate beauty in women. I appreciate beauty in any form. I gush over sunsets and sunrises. I “oohh” and “aahh” over cute babies and even those not so cute ones. I get thrilled when I find a book with a particularly nice front cover. I almost hop, skip, and cartwheel (if I could) for joy when I’m about to see a movie with a cutie in it, even if the cutie will just put in a ridiculously brief cameo. Seriously! That’s how I am when it comes to beautiful creatures or things, regardl...

Missing Merlion City

Just found some awesome photos I took when I visited this lovely--and incredibly clean--city. The amazing lights show at Marina Bay Sands Apartment buildings in Punggol Man, I miss being a stranger in a new city! I miss travelling! T_T Hopefully, I can travel next year. *crossing fingers*

The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick

If you're one of my cyber friends, you'd think I barely read these days because of the lack of book posts I've done lately. But actually, I'm still at it... at a much slower pace, albeit. But I'm still at it. I'm just so overwhelmed with other stuff that I barely have time to write for fun, which I think is quite sad. Downright depressing sometimes, I tell you! Anyways, the last book I've finished--that I could still remember--is The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick. I've had this book for years. You see, I collect books I think I want to read and just dump them in boxes whenever my bed becomes too crowded and start to smell like an old library. So I have tons of books I've had for years but never really read. Lately though, I've been rummaging inside the aforementioned boxes because people have been asking to borrow some of my books. And the nerd in me gets excited when I get to convince people to read... so rummaged the boxes, I did. And in ...
