the cure for anything is saltwater...

--- sweat, tears, or the sea. (isak dinesen)

since my default reaction to just about anything unknown and terrifying is to flee, i packed my bags and found myself on my ISLANDintheSUN half-drunk with life and half-cloyed with it. there, i laughed my heart out, walked out of a boy's messy life for good, sunbathed to my heart's content, basked in the innocence of a child's laugh and made a mental checklist of what to do in the coming months. so, the unknown and terrifying, you wonder? a promotion and a possible heartache. i came back to the city a wee bit tanned and psychoanalyzed. much to the delight of my seatmates who i had been bugging for weeks everytime i find myself needing a hug. i CAN be needy at times.

(all i needed: innuendo swimsuit, pink havainas flip flops, M&S Twiggy ecobag, TOPSHOP biker jacket, roxy leopard print bikini bottom alovelygirlnamedKL and a sunny siargao)

i love...

kl - my rainyday sunshine. i will sorely miss you. ditch frozen helvetia, will ya? let's be happy phantoms and chase rainbows and waves and wake up in strawberry fields. iloveyou.

cause the games that you play keep driving me away...
