  • Old bird

    While doing my laundry, I was surprised by how brave a Eurasian tree sparrow is, eating food scraps at an arm’s length. It also kept peculiarly bobbing its head my way, making me wonder if it’s just the bird checking out on me. Was it afraid I’d sneak out on it? Later, I realized why Read more

    Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve been asked to listen to an emotional state you never intended to be a part of (as of the moment)? It was a tough time for me, especially when I was about to travel to another city. Why now? Why me? But sometimes, people are selfish. Read more

    Why do I take photos of myself, people I cherish, and people I spent memorable moments with, then post them online? Because I want to memorialize the moment I felt special.
