I just came across a poem called A Singing Voice by Kenneth Rexroth. It's not the first time I've read it, but it's been years, I believe, since I last did so. I recall the very first time I read this poem; I got goosebumps and experienced an extremely strong sense of nostalgia. I may... Continue Reading →
Going to the Zoo Tomorrow

Increment or Not?
This month will be the month I find out if I'll have a salary increment. I told the future missus that if I didn't get one, I'll be looking for another job. I don't know if I will though. I enjoy what I'm doing, and it doesn't take up too much of my time (overtime's... Continue Reading →
