My Instagram Posts

Today, in celebration of my main blog’s third anniversary, I picked three of my favorite written posts (all of them were published in 2025). My definition of heaven on earth? Seeing the @FooFighters rock the Padang Stage at the Singapore Grand Prix last year. I will miss this holiday season. At the same, I’m thankful for it. This 2026, I will do the best I can to update my social media accounts, most especially my Instagram. As you can see, I’m starting all over again here. Please watch this space in the coming weeks. To quote the iconic Robert Downey Jr., “New mask, same task.”

Smile IV

Smile IV

Sometimes, being brave is worth it
Miles of distance, it doesn’t matter
In forms of art and flowers
Love, if confessed gently, quietly
Embraces any person warmly
