Here's to movement.

Three years later, another move.

Of the uprooting recently encountered, I have...

1. Fought the urge to just quit and run back home.
2. Struggled with homesickness, daily and by the second.
3. Found myself saying that the difficult can sometimes just be really difficult.

But no one forced me to move, yes? And so by hanging on, I am relearning that

- One can live with the contradiction. One must. You can embrace it, even.
- The world is big and there are new people to meet, make friends with, and new places to go.
- Expansion is waiting around the corner and with every step, with each hustle, you make your way there.

Hai, from Malaysia

Around the campus: research building, the UM logo, one of the Rapid KL buses doing its rounds,
and the fish pond outside the Chancellor's building

A "yes" in Japanese is a friendly "hi" in Bahasa. Hai, Kuala Lumpur.

Sensible then silly, or both

"When in doubt, dance." *a series of hipthrusts* - Michael David

Was out in Cubao last night with Ina for some sisterhood tambay & catching up. As usual, there were so many conversations- from the funny to the tragic to the giddy to the simply sobering. Mike David and Carljoe, who were there for the Sputnik closing, joined us, adding their are-you-serious-but-oh-hey-that-makes-sense boy voices. That above remark should tell you the "wisdom" gleaned from those weird but welcome things spoken about. What an apt way to graduate from March and move on to April.
