my 20s
Posted June 28th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsAs much as I love my late twenties, I can’t say the same for my early twenties. I spent most of my early twenties struggling to get a job, losing my friends (everyone left) and trying to revive a dead relationship. It was the most difficult time of my life. I cried almost every day [...]
3 times a bridesmaid, never a bride
Posted June 26th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsI was a flowergirl when I was 12 (long story – I found out I was to be one on the morning itself when the original girl never showed up. So I had to walk down the aisle with a dress a size too big and my LA Gear shoes – they were hip back [...]
Talent vs Hobby
Posted June 25th, 2009 by mayni | 1 CommentI will not lie. I am a jack of all trades, master of none. I will blame it on the gemini in me screaming out of boredom after two weeks into a new hobby.

Staying positive
Posted June 18th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsSometimes, it becomes such a struggle to remain positive no matter how much effort you put into it. In the last few years, I have worked really hard at not letting life get the better of me. Life is, after all, just suffering, isn’t it? I think everyone has endured all the crap that life [...]

Racism (my personal opinion)
Posted June 16th, 2009 by mayni | 1 CommentI know this is a very sensitive issue. But I feel I need to write something about it being a migrant myself to this country. I may not be of the sameĀ ethnic background of the people being targeted at the moment, but I have endured my share of racism since moving here in 2000. [...]
When I grow up…
Posted June 16th, 2009 by mayni | No CommentsWhen I was younger, I always pictured myself in a fancy office with floor to ceiling windows by the time I was 25 (in my defense, back then, 25 was old).
