Lincoln Helped Abolish Slavery Already

But then you came around me,  The walls just disappeared, Nothing to surround me and keep me from my fears. So ever since I came back from the States when I was 7 and lived with my grandma, I was taken cared by a maid . She did my dishes, washed my clothes, cleaned my bed and even cooked for me. I appreciate her and calling her a maid would not be a suitable title for her even though she is paid to be that. She is my caretaker and besides my parents and grandparents, she is a   guardian  to me.  The motif of this post is to remind everyone including myself that the maids that our family hires are humans too and we should actually treat them with respect . This notion sparked in me after witnessing an altercation that happened this morning with my mum's new maid and my step-grandma.  I don't know why but call me crazy, I think that the older generation, you know, the baby boomers , they have the tendency to treat maids like the 13th amendment of the US const...

Rediscovery of Music

Cause I can tell you right now, That you will never find the evidence on me, And that's the truth.  So I remember last year, I read an article that shows studies which strongly suggest that what kind of music you like now is heavily influenced on the music you started listening to during your adolescent years. As a journalism student, I would put a link or put a reference but I seriously do not remember the website. My apologies.  The study is not 100 % percent conclusive but I think it works on me. The article said something about when you're 11 or 12, you start to have a grasp of what kind of music you  really like and that sticks to you till you grow up. Yeah you listen to other genres and experiment with new sounds but your favorite type of music will most probably be the same as when you listened when your hormones were raging.  When I was that age, as mush of Britney and N'SYNC as I listen to when I was young, pop rock...

My Sense of Logic

In too deep, can't think about giving up But I never knew love would feel like a heart attack So I actually like being the voice of logic when I'm around a group of people. I like using logic and common sense in my everyday decisions and everyday situations. But from personal observation, a great deal of listening and a lot of reading, I realize that love and logic do not mix . And that, ladies and gentleman, scares the shit out of me.  I could never make sense of the things some people do for love. I have this vision that when you're in love, logic just goes out the window . Now seeing and being around people who are in love, whether its at university or at home, I could never see the logic of certain love related things. See with me, if I cannot see the logic in it then its hard for me to fully accept or adapt to it. And I always believe that in order to fully understand something, its best to  experience  or feel it for yourself. The whole empathy thing ...

Siesta

So this is where you fell, And I am left to sell, The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell, Right to the top.  You know what I cherish the most after going back to studies for the new semester? The beauty of sleep is something I crave for even during the weirdest of hours. I would go back home between classes just for a quick nap. Forget about lunches or last minute assignment touch ups, I land on my bed and I'm gone into lala land.  It's odd cause its not like I have tons of work to do. Well actually I do have a lot of bis ass assignments that require meticulous research and creative thinking. Some of them are not due for weeks but if I hold it off any longer, squeezing everything during the final week of the deadline would be too tiring and stressful for words.  So a power nap is crucial for me when I get the time. I researched that power naps in the afternoon not only make you more alert and make you feel ...

Confusions of a Single Person

Well I'm so above you, And its plain to see, But I came to love you anyway. So it is never an odd feeling being with a bunch of people who are in relationships and I'm the only one who's single. I can handle that kind of shit without getting depressed or feeling sorry for myself. But sometimes there are certain situations where the single oriented mind find confusing. I was in a place where because of the fact that I'm single, I could not comprehend a certain problem that couples go through. The situation is this- So you and your lover made some plans. One of you fucked up and the plan did not work out. Which mean you guys did not get to see other and execute whatever that you were planning to do. So on the day where the plan was suppose to happen, one of you decided to go out because the plan was canceled and you had nothing to do either way. Then your other half gets pissed because you went out and had fun on the day of your canceled plan. Why is tha...

Amateur Designer

I bought a new pair shoes I got a new attitude when i walk 'Cause I'm so over you And it's all about tonight So due to the overwhelming response of my Raya In Style video, I was inspired to draw some Raya designs. I did not completely follow the current baju kurung trends that I mentioned in the video. I incorporated some elements like the color blocking trend and the unique sleeves. But mostly I put trends that I like and incorporated them in baju kurung form. The first design I drew for a classy girl. The top is lace based and a corset with a peplum detail on the hips. I added a vertical line in the middle that extends down for a touch of that futuristic element. That shock of black kinda gives it some style with the traditional beige and light yellow. The second design is a straight short top baju kurung with a peplum design on the hips as well as the sleeve. I used one solid colour and used a lighter shade of pink for the peplum as a contrast . It...
