From Where I Stand

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Dear sugarplum fairy,

From where i stand, the wind no longer whistles,
it howls and it tests me.
Races my mind, challenges my sanity.

The skies witness as i vow,
vow never to look at what awaits me below.
Still, i took a peek and shivered.
Shivered like a drugged rat, poisoned with fear.
I am at the edge. At cliff’s end.

O goodness, have i come this far?
Behind me, all of past.
It is bleak from where i stand,
the darkness burning bright.
Turn back and the cold will warm you,
on your journey home.. to emptiness, nothing-ness.

God forbid! I will not return!

But where will i go from here?
What will i do?

Leapt, Maria!
And watch where this fall will take you.
The oceans below welcoming,
it has much room to shelter poor you, your hollow self.
There there, fear will leave you out here, nowhere.
Come now,
These waves are banging, calling your chances of redemption.

God have mercy on me.
God have mercy on me..
God have mercy on me…

Breathe… -JUMP!

Dear sugarplum fairy,

Why weep, when your heart is lost in dreams?

The two-week combo

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Dear sugarplum fairy,

Last couple of weeks, no wait, rephrase. For the past two weeks i’ve been really happy. I haven’t been so carefree in months but its beginning to close in on me again. Pfft! Spent all week last week committing my time and oh god, all my energy into summer school and the graduating performance that weekend which i sorta screwed up under no particular circumstance.

We had to do a PARAGUAYAN National piece that performance night and rehearsals were intense. Must be the ’something-feels-new’ anxiety attack. Never thought i’d do anything like it but hey, that dance was to celebrate a harvest and i was dressed to look like a Paraguayan, whose probably had a fair share of witchcraft and definitely: a virgin, how kinky! Met heaps of respected Australian teachers and made plenty of friends. Exhausted.

This week calls for a break. Recovering from summer school and work. This week has been ALL about me. Finally. I’ve resigned from what was ’supposed’ to be a vacation/summer job but actually lasted an entire year up until this summer. Thought i didn’t really need it and its time i make some serious cash and take myself more seriously. Afterall, i’ve turned 19? Heh. Maybe i’m over-reacting.

Great Singapore Sale has transformed town into a mad-house, overnight. Shopping has been tasteful nonetheless.

This week’s all about PS2, time with my bf, shopping with girlfriends, pizzas, cravings, horror movies, an entire season of Laguna Beach and alot of god-knows-what. Meaning, its inexplainable. More like lying down and staring into space, feeling miserable about chipped and disgusting nails yet too lazy to take action, procrastinating an interview for a really good job offer, didn’t shower all day on thursday and, yea well that pretty much sums it. Good week hey?

Think i should get a detox now. Puffy eyes and lethargy, oh i’m paying for the week alright. Conclusively, i’m heading back to the gym, more plain water, more sleep, go for that interview and then more dance classes. Speaking of typical!

On a different note altogether. I’ve been accepted by the uni. Yay! I’ll be sitting for their english degree under the University of London and i’m so hyped about it. Don’t ask me why i made the cross-over.
