About Me

Since the chances of having Fid Guiama as my real name runs from slim to none, I'll gladly go with Idah.No one really gets my name right for the first time. So I thank this barista from a certain coffee shop for spelling it correctly on our introductory encounter and for remembering it ever since.My passion meter for music strikes a magnitude slightly lower than the danger zone. My ipod is an indespensable acquaintance. Aside from a few friends, helpless family members and my voice teacher from about 10 years ago, no one really heard me sing. But I will sing for you if you just ask nicely. haha.A wanderlust. As much as our home is no less than a perfect portrait of love and amusement, driving away from it-still remains a favorable option. The longer the drive, the better.I want to become a travel writer someday. Yes. Someday.Now I let my strings play me and not the other way around.

My Interests

umakyat sa talampas. roti canai. ukay ukay. mythbusters. hongkong milk tea. Emily Dickinson. blog sites. blog whores. green anything. marie biscuits. the simpsons. phonetic alphabet. music. dibidi dibidi.

For every story shared and hidden from my conspicuous ears, I consider facing my life's own mishaps and realize how I end up complicating things while meaning to end all things complicated. I do not u...

I have someone in mind and he was the cake that I had mistaken as a cheap sayote pie at some famous fastfood store some time ago. I will be seeing him tomorrow night and I suddenly feel the renaissanc...

The risk now is pointed towards a vast array of madness seen from a point blank view. Such is expensive. But it is near and clear enough to burn some skin. Get the first flight out and suffer from reg...

the girl with a chinese sounding name

She is my current pet peeve. Gawd she talks too much, and tactlessly. Her mouth speaks of nothing but blah. She ought to have some substance by now I  mean considering her age and probably some e...

The motions, the places are different but the idea is pretty much the same. It is like a blast off to four years ago when what could have beens were in its bountiful days. I find my release every time...

Took out some fine garbage last night. It was hanging around for quite some time now but even so the stench was not at all violent. It is nice to clear up messy relationships. He and I talked things ...
