[former] “chronic perfectionist” thinks about god
As a [present-moment update: former] “chronic perfectionist” I’m very much aware of how meaningless the pursuit of perfection is. One, it’s almost always impossible. There will always be aspects of something that the human mind will not be able to sense or think of and that something will always seem lacking. The gap between 99…
out the headspace, and all in
I thought I should write, right now, without putting much thought into the act itself. I’ve felt that I’ve been slowly getting back into the flow and that as an exercise, I should share something here that isn’t premeditated. Some days, that’s so easy it almost feels like cheating when I create something I wholly…

Wú wéi, an almost-unbelievably-pretty sunset clip, and Gyuri not knowing what to do at the moment
Certainty is beyond thought (but a chicken sandwich isn’t)
Certainty lies beyond thought; it is impossible to think one’s way to sureness (but this is a good thing). You take all the options and weigh them, study all the the differing paths and compare, apply all the theories and wait for The Best Possible Answer to come up. Except it doesn’t it, it wouldn’t…
at home going full circle (featuring the wfh anthem)
Presently at café gyü: MOTM (music of the moment) The legend is back like they never even left. Super Junior celebrates their 15th anniversary with a 10th album, The Renaissance, with this funky title track that anyone living in these times should listen to. Yes, this is a campaign (and also yes, full disclosure that…
time, cappuccino, grilled cheese sandwich
It was that last line: like thunder in an otherwise quiet night. There was a good paragraph between that last line and the last one I had read but when I turned the page my eyes landed right where the word time was printed just as thoughts of kronos were entering my mind. Maybe it…

in defence of ‘not-trying’, by an overachiever
*A ‘former’, overachiever, if you will . . . I have been getting into a good flow of things recently, so subsequently, I have been able to get out of my shell more. That is, to talk to people, to share each other’s progress on things we’re working on and then dreams, plans for the…
The Day My Old Canon 1100D Saved Me
I wished to dance… In a split second, I died and came back to life, back to the reality where I had been and not a single moment had passed in my death. Everything was the same in that now everything was different.
Subic in Luisita, or How Time Goes Inside a Pick-up Truck
Time these days feel more compressed than ‘single-existent’. Rather than there being just a single point—the present—in time at a time, it feels as if there are several (sometimes, countless too many) different points intersecting, forming one amalgamated circle at any given moment. This moment where it feels as though one place is of more…
