A Geisha In A Past Life

101 Days of Heartbreak Series--- Book 1: Letters of Heartbreak

PROLOGUE Dear Kamita,             There is a twisted similarity between a dream and a reality—the other one is a lie that you want so desperately to be a truth while the other is a truth that you sometimes want to be a lie.             I do not know what I want.             Embracing a dream often feels soothing and wonderful. It’s an escape. A temporary dimension our minds create so we can forget.             But it always ends.             Accepting reality isn’t a walk in the park either. Reality is often blunt, straight to the point, brutally honest.             And it’s there to stay.          ...

Note: This is to celebrate my one year of being officially unemployed. Read on. October 5, 2013--- my first year anniversary of being a semi-bum. I should be celebrating, getting wasted and singing the night away with the few special people who can put up with my oddity--- but then again, who celebrates one year of being unemployed? Definitely not me. It’s been a year since I left my last job as Corporate Advertising and Communication Specialist/Writer/Internet Marketing Specialist (I still refuse to call myself Marketing Specialist) for a real estate company. Time flew so fast. It seemed like only yesterday when I collected my last paycheck and shed tears as I left the office I considered home for two years and eight months. Was it hard? Yes. Was it practical? No. Was it the right decision? No. It was definitely the WRONG decision. But I never regretted it. Because finally, I felt like I am going the RIGHT direction by making such a WRONG turn. Let’s ...

Warning: This entry contains more questions than answers. What does “vote responsibly” actually mean? Does it mean being a responsible citizen and vote for the sake of voting or being a responsible citizen and vote for the right candidates? That is where my problem lies--- who exactly are the right candidates? I’ve been a registered voter for 8 years now. I will admit that I didn’t have this much predicament in the past--- which names I will write in my ballot. For the previous elections, I have always seen a couple of candidates who were sincere enough and have that desire to serve the nation. They had been enough for me. I wasn’t satisfied, but at least a couple of candidates with good intentions are better than none. At least we have a David to fight a Goliath—a small chance, but a chance nevertheless. The upcoming elections should’ve awakened that tiny hope deep within me--- that we will have another batch of politicians who can truly serve the nation and uplift...

I've been writing fanfiction since I was 14. Except that I didn't know it was called Fanfiction back then.  But I never finish them. My fanfiction.net stories are all on hiatus-- FFn. name: angelchoo This is the first time I've finished one so I just can't help but be proud of it.  Here it is: http://www.wattpad.com/story/1457715-fix-me

DECISIONS DECISIONS: WHICH FANDOM RULES MY WORLD Every time I open any webpage with the word Breaking Dawn on it, there's always a mention of Harry Potter and vice versa. Honestly, I am so tired. Tired of hearing comparisons between the two because they shouldn't be compared. And here comes Hunger Games. Now they’re a trio. Before you read the next paragraphs , I am warning you--- I am a potterhead and always will be. Some of my reasons will appear a bit biased, but I am trying to be objective as I write this.  And oh, I include both movies and books. MY TWILIGHT PHASE: Why and why not Twilight? First of all, before twihards start throwing insults and harsh words towards me, I am saying this--- I don't hate twilight. In fact, I went through a Twilight phase (I mean an Edward phase) and am still going through a Jasper phase. I'm not ashamed of it. Again, I don’t hate Twilight. I like it, though I can say I don't love it as much as I...

I've been keeping these notebooks for more than 20 years. They contain my pre-desktop comp/laptop stories. I used to bring a spiral notebook everyday so I can write wherever I go. Most of the time, the biggest and greatest ideas catch us off guard and come to us during the least expected moments. They used to be 50 +, but they're down to 26. I've thrown the others due to personal reasons. I still read them sometimes and the stories I've written still affect me big time. :) The stories inside these notebooks matter a lot to me, but what matter most are the memories and inspiration attached to these stories. Sometimes, when I read them, I am still astonished that I managed to write them. And then I remember what pushed me to do so and it won't come as a surprise anymore. Indeed,  memories and feelings  matter so much to a writer.
