I miss Melai

Just opened my blog a couple of minutes before going off to another high-calorie date and was greeted with a pleasant surprise. Melai the uglysullengirl found me! Hahaha! And of course, memories of fringed edged pants, scruffy sneakers, little school concerts and nights of cramming our Marketing paper came into mind. I really miss this chick and I really love reading her blog for 2 reasons: 1) because she's a fantastic writer with words you'd like to devour off the page and 2) she writes so romantically about New York, giving me the chance to breathe in all the culture while being miles away. I feel a bit envious of her actually. She's like the glorified bunny who literally has all the time to smell the flowers (hahaha and I mean a nice fresh bunch of spring blossoms and not the odorless, wilted santan that is Aurora boulevard). I wish I could swim in a similar kind of melting pot of intellectuality, entertainment and all other pleasures and not think about how things are so deplorable and chaotic in this side of the world. But for now maybe I could just content myself with what I read and dream a little harder until it comes true. And maybe soon, I'd be laughing with Melai under a little cafe umbrella, sipping 5 kinds of lattes to my heart's content.
