should I stay or should I go?
should i stay or should i go? turns out i am having a cultural clash. a massive one. sometimes things dont go as expected. well, most of the times. this is what life is about, i guess. it’s just that there are moments where you can handle it and others where you can’t go over…

lost in the 3.0 madness
‘omg, S. you are so popular’ – a girl told me when she saw the instagram stories replies popping-up in my mobile. i am not popular. it’s just my friends showing their love. to make sure i know i am always being taken care of. made me think about all this superficial stuff we are…

what got us here, won’t get us there
during xmas break, I went to Paris and Madrid to catch up with all my friends. ‘where is home for you?’ R. asked me once. ‘I don’t know’, I answered. I lived in 8 different cities in 5 different countries. i guess home is wherever you feel loved and where you belong. so i consider…

more than just friends
one of our sitcom idols has gone away. Matthew Perry wanted us to remember him for more than just friends. more than just friends has been as well the subject around me last week. L. called me in her way to pick-up a friend at Charles de Gaulle. he was coming from the US. last…

not Ascot, just asco*
this week was hard. it was a pms one – premenstrual syndrome – which means you struggle MORE than usual. work was disgusting. I couldnt make my way. at some point I could only throw some bombs here and there. eventually everywhere. where there is a will there is a way. and the way was…
