vignette (not quite)
it is so strangely warm today. we have, once again, those blue skies that stretch for miles and miles with not a single cloud in sight. you don’t get to see that a lot back home. it makes me think of texas, for some reason, and i have never even been there in my entire [...]

i like listening to 90’s hits on streaming radio through itunes. the 90’s were good. my teen years. angsty, stressful, awkward, wonderful years. why do things always seem good in hindsight? in ten years, i will be reminiscing this time in japan – this awful year of The Aches – the heart, the stomach, the [...]

postcard from tokyo
the depression that is tokyo on a rainy day.
the southern island of kyushu has been going through a week of floods and landslides in some of the heaviest rainfalls ever experienced for this period of the year. and we haven’t even had any typhoons yet.
i was so exhausted from the two-day singing marathon that i [...]

making time for music
it was supposed to pour for most of today, but the skies have chosen to remain gray, without shedding as much as a drop, leaving us with just that stifling humidity in the air that comes when it fails to rain.
i finally got down to tackling the stack of scores for this weekend, hitting my [...]

summer lovin’
had a late night but woke up bright and early to the sound of cicadas – the first of the season. you need no surer sign that summer has arrived. i learnt about cicadas in japan, where before, they used to exist only in storybooks, city girl that i am. did you know that a [...]

komm, süßer tod
woke up to howling winds and cloudy skies today, no doubt harbinger of more rain to come. yet no typhoons have come our way so far, despite it being almost halfway into july. i do not quite know what to make of this – the summer that isn’t.
i finished the last of my battles for [...]

mutiny
the rain came down in sheets just as i stepped out of my room to get a cup of hot chocolate (or cocoa au lait, as it is elegantly labeled) from the vending machine at the lobby. i wish it would thunder as well, just to match my somewhat mutinous feelings right now.
the pain and [...]

pee-na-tsu ku-ree-mu
i woke up just before 11 this morning, and marvelled at my renewed ability to sleep. and sleep. and sleep. i have never slept like i did this past week, yet hardly have the energy to sit through those long class days. i am still barely eating, so it may be that my body is attempting to [...]

heartburn
woke up past one with some strange feelings in my chest and could not quite figure out what was wrong. it was only when i sat up and started burping that i realised it must have been heartburn. the pain migrated to a more familiar place once i got out of bed and became gastric pains; that [...]

it is very strange (and also amazing and awe-inspiring, i suppose) that the most appropriate music pops into your mind and stays there to serve as a movie theme for whatever emotion you are going through at that point in time.
i have been pondering the analysis of some data the entire day, attempting to sketch out [...]
