You find yourself in a strange place. You blinked and the moment you opened your eyes, you found a firefly resting on the bridge of your nose and flinched. As the firefly flies away, you see this bizarre world as you follow its tail. In front of you is a yellow bridge over a pond to what you suspect to be a shrine of some sort with a man…

“in Tartarus, i alone am the fallen, the false light in waking dreams, and the one bathed in oblivion, the harbinger of chaos, in a proud kingdom the pinnacle of hate, or the tempest in the loneliest clouds, the unruly prince” once upon a time, there was a prince in a little kingdom a kingdom, hidden in a forest of fine birch he lived behind, cobbled walls walls, from…

Stuff I wrote, but never finished or still working on them idontwanttohidefromyouanymorein the creases of my lies,do you see the truth?in the pages of scribbles,do you see what i’m trying to write?in the walls behind where my will stays firm,do you see the storm i can’t stand against?in the sparks of embers of the wildfire you light,do you see the new beginnings i want to plant?in the melody you…

earlier today, i was observing moths on a streetlight. it’s strange seeing these things ramming themselves to something they cannot touch should they even be able to think. apparently, it confuses their navigation systems, so most insects are drawn to light. that beats the point of survival, though. wouldn’t it draw far more attention to them? that being said, it shouldn’t be an unfamiliar concept to anyone. after all,…

Meet Louise, the strangest person I’d ever met. In a crowd, you’d neither spot her out nor would you be able to ever think of her face twice should you only see it once. If she ever comes up to you, you’d probably find it to be just another daily occurrence. Destiny would not be a word you’d familiarize with her, for she simply seemed out of the world…

(For anyone that’s concerned, this is my CommonApp essay.) I love eating toothpaste! Minty and crisp, with just about the right creamy texture topped by bits of chocolate, a touch of pure decadence. Whether it’s Ben & Jerry’s or Breyers, there is a wonderful contradiction in every scoop: a mélange of discipline and indulgence. While enjoying a cone of this refreshing treat, I see a mirrorball made out of…

All of these write-ups / free-verse poetry are random drafts I wrote on my notes. Most of them have no structure to it as I simply kept them as placeholders for ideas to expand upon later. Tread with caution into the world of my bizarre ideas haha! last timei remember seeing your face for the last time,in my life.no more math shenanigans,no more making you laugh.i don’t know anything…

MUN is a term that often feels alien to me these days. quite ironic considering MUNs have been a staple of the past 4 years of my life. from eighth grade till now, the very last minute before college applications. i understand that whatever i have done till now is a feat, if not extraordinary. a quick reflection on the past tells me i did not quite get where…

my my my, i still cannot fathom that this album was released. summer began with “part of the band”, and since then i have been patiently awaiting for their 5th studio album, being funny in a foreign language. Interestingly enough, three of the songs were released at crucial moments (“happiness” was literally released at the happiest days of this summer) for me thus i have a very personal attachment…
