twinge.

somewhere in the u district, seattle.
it hasn’t been the best week and at times like these i wish things could go back to how they were.

big breakfast.

the first meal of the day is a luxury for most of us, myself included, but if i’d the chance i would whip up something substantial (apart from the fact that i LOVE bacon). beats having to walk around with a half-empty tummy. p.s. the hot chocolate was positively divine and i had plenty of [...]

cause for blahness.

circular quay, sydney
only 2 days into the school week and it’s been punctuated by a barrage of readings and writing assignments i am trying to keep up with on top of a lack of sleep:(

pink, raw and juicy.

back home from down under.

an alternative perspective of sydney’s iconic attractions: the harbour bridge as seen from the opera house.
i’m back and wilting in the heat as usual. i think i’m more cut out for places with the seasons. the last week has been glorious, in spite of how much sydney has changed. flushed with foreigners and rife with [...]
