Sent with all his love, and the chocolate stains on his teeth.

It’s been a while since I’ve last seen a..uh, piece of a totem pole of sorts while walking on the street.

What is it???

I mean, COME ON! Why leave trash where it dejectedly sits and greets every passer by a looming trashy, after-party-ish morning?

Placing garbage where they should be is so simple and easy and supposedly habitual already amidst all the effed up complexities of the world O_O Or is it precisely that, that it’s so simple that some can’t even afford as much as a muscle twitch to throw it out in fear of losing energy for their next big intellectual battle?

We appeared on mainstream TV today. (No big deal, we were just re-enacting a scene out).

This might sound stupid, but that’s one of my gazillion life goals crossed out. Hehehe!

..just a fleeting concept meant to be defeated by strong contenders of a difficult mental fight, enunciated by the despised pairing of these two words: Solo+thesis.

Hooray for friends we can hang out with under the scorching noon sun any day to talk unwanted angst away! 

Just for a few hours in a day, this flowering plant whose name escapes the current Ate caretaker of the garden, explodes in fiery nature goodness!

And before you know, it it retires and dies a fugly brown prune..

I found it difficult to consciously study for exams–that’s why in college I shifted to a course where I never had to, har har har.

But that experience can transform into one that’s bearable and even enjoyable.. Just get a friend to stay steady by your side :)

Accept your failures–never erase. Because in life, you can never erase your mistakes.

Learn to draw over your mistakes. Shape them, make them work for life.

What’s “routine” and “exercise” to Poochi here (or your pet dog) may actually be a serendipitous moment of connection for strangers and create an afternoon they’ll remember for life!
