About Me


I am your typical twenty-something stumbling, fumbling and cursing as I grope my way into the real world. Learning universal truths that have resonated throughout the ages... putting together pieces from the grand puzzle of childhood... seeing reality in a myriad of conflicting colors... blinded by idealism... and taught well by the abrasiveness that society unwittingly discards.
I believe we could all do with a little distraction on some occasions. Ones that that teach us lessons to equip us better in understanding ourselves and the people around us. I have found myself oftentimes side tracked from the primary goal but have relished too many good outcomes from unforeseen events to more than make up for it. Who likes the short cut anyway? Not much to see there.. Hence, less to savor.
I dance in the rain, I walk against the crowd, I put my foot in between doors left ajar. Thats the way it is. I am politically incorrect, a subversive in hiding, battling with a few ghosts, confronting some demons, clueless most of the time (dont ask me anything, I cant be bothered with a retort. Hehehe! NOT!), yet always running after optimism and catching glitters of hope. I am ALL woman.. complex, competent yet vulnerable.
