I didn't cry when Little Foot's mother died but I cried when I saw this video. Nobody was looking at number one, but 65,000 people stood up to cheer on Derek Raymond as he limped across the finish line. Never give up. It's not about getting the medal, it's about finishing what you started taking [...]
Category: I Should Be Asleep
Hell Is Empty. And All The Devils Are Here.
I do mean things. I am quite mean. I am occasionally mean. I did something mean once. People are mean. We mess with each other's heads. And then call it a social experiment. We whisper thoughts into innocent minds then sit back in glee and watch nature take it's course. That course will split into [...]
Sumie The Pants Ripper
Funny Story: My brother and I used to play this game where we'd both do stupid things and the first person to laugh forfeits. My secret weapon were these tight-a**-grabbing-low-quality-pasar-malam-'Seven dwarves'-pants. I would walk in front of him, squat, the pants would make a ripping sound and my brother would burst out laughing, forfeiting the [...]
I Can Go The Distance
The longest marathon I successfully completed was 'The Lord of The Rings' trilogy. 9 hours non-stop excluding directors commentary. I was never a runner in school. Not long-distance at least. I can sprint for 100 meters but that's about it. Actually I'm more of the girl who hands out the water bottles to the people running the [...]

As they bowed at the altar, one said, "Lord, I thank You I'm not like these other women, the women who sleep around, the women who drink excessively, the women who cheat on their husbands, the women who are obsessed with material things or the [...]
The Consolation Prize
When someone is in grief, there are many levels of consolation: There are some people who are fantastic consolers. And there are people who are really bad consolers. There's Sheldon Cooper And then there's me. I've never been good at consoling. I just kind of stare at the cry-er as she pours her heart out. [...]
It Is Done! Arise!
I can't believe it! After 6 months! It's finally over! I feel... happy. Not happy it's over, happy it went well. Happy I was supported by so many loving people. It wasn't perfect, but it was the best that it could've been. I was reminded that being in this production was a dream come true, [...]
It’s Called ‘Acting’
There's a dramatic performance art in the Chinese opera sphere called Bian Lian or loosely translated; Face-Changing. It's where a masked man moves in waves of twists and rapidly switches between painted masks in a matter of milliseconds. I got to experience this art first hand at my cousins wedding earlier this year. While my mind [...]
