A psychic (that I met in a mall) once told me that I would travel a lot. I nodded when she said it, but I had no idea I’d be living in the sky haha Though the travel gets hectic and tiring, I can say that it has given me a different perspective. I see the – Read More –

I guzzled Sprite and mint Mentos and tried to watch a movie. Gravity started making me dizzy so I changed to Cloudy With Chance of Meatballs 2. (15 hours is a – Read More –
