III.III.III ROCK BOTTOM I know I won’t particularly enjoy writing this. Mostly because I have to mention a lot of my failures in excruciating detail. Also because it’s probably gonna sound like I’m giving a lecture or something. I want to reiterate that I am no psychiatrist nor a motivational speaker; I’m writing solely from personal experience. That, and the […]

I.II.IV.I – Hopkins: Day One
HOPKINS I.II.IV.I – DAY ONE 22/09/22 The following morning, with a heaviness in my heart, I bid Becca and Oliver farewell. Then tears started flowing as it was Roy’s turn. I could not even begin to comprehend how I had fallen for him so bad in such little time! We promised we’d see each other again. He’d accompany me to […]

III.III.II – Hedonia
III.III.II HEDONIA On the same exchange program were about twenty other students from all over the world. I wasn’t too keen on making new friends at the beginning. My time in Hungary was supposed to be my me time. Little did I assume that by that very first night, they’d already be family. I still remember us sitting down on […]

I.II.III.IV – Caye Caulker (Again): Day Four
CAYE CAULKER (AGAIN) I.II.III.IV – DAY FOUR 21/09/22 Fully rested and recovered, I wiped the crust off my eyes as I remembered this would be my last day in Caye Caulker. Sullenly, I got off my bed and headed downstairs. Right in front of Roy’s resort was a rum paunch stand where we’d be hanging out during the morning festivities. […]

I.II.III.III – Caye Caulker (Again): Day Three
CAYE CAULKER (AGAIN) I.II.III.III – DAY THREE 20/09/22 My time in Caye Caulker was running short. Judy, having given her blessing to Roy about taking my hand in marriage (?!?!), had also bid us adieu. Next up, would be me. It was so sad that none of us wanted to think about it. In wanting to change the subject as […]

I.II.III.II – Caye Caulker (Again): Day Two
CAYE CAULKER (AGAIN) I.II.III.II – DAY TWO 19/09/22 By that time, most of the stuff I wanted to see and do had already been checked off. Being the over-planner that I am, my itinerary always has an ‘extras’ section which contains a list of activities or places to visit if time and money allow. Being here for a few additional […]

I.II.III.I – Caye Caulker (Again): Day One
CAYE CAULKER (AGAIN) I.II.III.I – DAY ONE 18/09/22 Going back to Caye Caulker felt a lot like going back home. The week I had spent there was amongst the best of my life and I couldn’t have enough of it. Truly heaven on Earth! Almost a week and a half into my fling with Roy and things seemed to be […]

I.II.II.II – San Pedro: Day Two
SAN PEDRO I.II.II.II – DAY TWO 17/09/22 The next day, when the Bloodclaat Gang arrived in San Pedro, I was fully refreshed and actually rejoiced at the sight of them. We had just one day left here and so, we had to make it count. After the traditional fry jacks for breakfast, we rented a golfcart and made way to the […]

I.II.II.I – San Pedro: Day One
SAN PEDRO I.II.II.I – DAY ONE 16/09/22 Another day, another ferry. It’d be my second time stepping foot in San Pedro, though this time round it was intentional. After dropping my stuff at the hotel which was on the opposite side of the island, a mere five minutes away from the ferry pier, I headed out to explore the town […]

I.II.I.VI – Caye Caulker: Day Six & Seven
CAYE CAULKER I.II.I.VI – DAY SIX TO SEVEN 14/09/22 & 15/09/22 Apart from diving, there was also something else going on… My fling? I honestly don’t know what to call it, but yeah, let’s go with that. Over the following days, my fling with Roy seemed to be blossoming. The more time we spent together, the closer we got, which […]
