Brunei was hit by a mass blackout last night (sans my residential area and some few others). What I want to ask you all—who was affected by this—is: did you even took the chance to go out and look up at the sky? The view of the stars would be nothing short of amazing.
(Also, good job, BT, for releasing a statement during the crisis. Good journalism!)

This makes them freaks in the world of writers, since almost all of the other ink-stained wretches in that world reveal a lot about themselves to readers. We call these revelations, accidental and intentional, elements of style.
Reading this is making me rethink the novel I will be writing for my NaNoWriMo. Agh!

Is my non-royal ass the only one who fails to see the logic?
OF COURSE, GUYS! The populace has shitty morals. How could I ever forget that?
1 month ago • 1 noteThe strange thing about Asian women is their obsession with fair skin. Emphasis: fair skin. Not clean, spotless skin.
It is somewhat a reflection of white supremity. Having fair skin means being white, clearly a subject viewed to many as those in the forefront of civilisation. It is odd how Asian women view masters of beauty are those of their Western counterpart, when it is the difference of skin colour that provides us with individuality, and allow us to achieve unity in a conflicted world with a picturesque United Colors of Benetton oneness. There is nothing wrong with being tanned or a few shades darker. Better than being pale and pasty*.
*That would be me five years ago.
