Spain, Cyprus perhaps. By myself.

Spend some time by myself, you know, do some thinking by myself.

"I want to be a lost poem in a stranger's coat pocket, that conveys the importance of you.

To assure you of my desire, to assure you of dreams. I want all the possibilities of you in writing.

I want to give you your reflection, I want your eyes on me, I want to travel to the lightness with you and stay there, and I want everything before you...

...everything before you to follow us like a trail behind me.

I want never to say goodbye to you, even on the street corner or the phone.

I want, I want so much... I'm breathless.

I want to put my power into a poem to burn a hole in your pocket so I can sew it.

I want my words to scream through you. I want the poem not to mean that much.

And I want to contradict myself by accident, and for you to know what I mean.

I want you to be distant and for me to feel you close, I want endless days when it's day and... nighttime never to end when it's night.

I want all the seasons in one day. I want the sun to set before us and come up in front of us.

I want water up to our waists and to be drenched by the rain, up to our ankles with holes in our shoes.

...with holes in our shoes. I want to think your thoughts because they're mine.

I want only what's urgent with you.

I want to get in the way of the barriers and I want you to be a tough guy when you're supposed to,

like you do already.

...when you're supposed to. And I want you to be tender, like you do already.

And I want us to have met for a reason and I want that reason to be important.

And I want it to be bigger than us, I want it to take over us.

I want to forget. I want to remember us.

And when you say you love me I don't want to think you really mean New York City, and all the fun

we have in it.

And I want your smile always, and your grimaces too.

I want your scar on my lips, and I want your disappointments in my heart.

I want your strength in my soul and I want your soul in my eyes.

I want to believe everything you say, and I do.

And I want you to tell me what's best when I don't know.

And when you're lost I want to find you.

And when you're weary I want to give you steeples and cathedral thoughts and coliseum dreams.

I want to drag you from the darkness and kneel with you exhausted with the blinding light blaring on us... and..."

+/- six hours

I may be on the other side of the world
but that doesn't mean I've gone away.

Just subtract six hours, okay?


Jill, I MISS YOU!

Almost a month

I miss you, MJ!

Like in novels

You give me the kind of feeling people write novels about.

Weather is here

Wanderlust

Desire? Drown me in it anytime.

After all the hell weeks, the sleepless nights devoted to schoolwork, I went shopping and it was fantastic. It feels pretty awesome to know that final exams are cancelled and that schoolwork will be optional. It's my idea of school: all the people sans the tests.

I'm feeling like I'm going through a transition with my style recently. College is making it difficult to care about Fashion Weeks across the globe, and so I'm leaning towards the laid-back, grunge feel. I'm loving crop tops from Topshop and studded vests and blazers. I'm stocking up on statement rings, as I love it in Ateneo when my teachers notice me for them. What can I say? Great conversation starters--plus, you find out which of your professors are gay.

Sembreak is officially in 20 days. Which means, 20 days left to save money and diet. I'm excited to shop 'til I drop and wear all my new purchases but I'm not looking forward to idle time. Someone give me something to do!

The Duchess

I fail to comprehend how far we are fully committed to the concept of freedom.

All my life, I've been fighting my way upstream.

You can't ask me to battle nature in my own heart.

When she arrives, all eyes are upon her. When absent, she is the subject of universal conversation.

Bon Anniversaire, Bon Voyage

I want you to go to the city of lights and shine and meet the Sartorialist,

eat French toast and French fries and omelette du fromage,

drink French wine and French kiss a French guy

And shop 'til you drop and walk the boulevards,

I'm learning how to give directions in French classes,

I'll tell you:

Traversez la pont, tournez a droite, allez tout droit

Find yourself an adventure, get high and come back grounded

Learn great things, experience the strange things,

Have fun, have an epic adventure

Write me letters

Return soon

Find me a Frenchman

Buy me a beret

And never forget, okay?

A very happy birthday to the other half of Secret Skins, MJ!

Picking up the pieces

I think I'm running out of things to say

or rather, I can't properly say 

what I want to say.

Is that weird?

Let's see what tomorrow brings.
