No explanation necessary

My blog, gonegaga in the city, like my other blogs, will be on indefinite leave effective, uh, today. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable

gonegaga is STILL in the city

I thought that in the next couple of months, I would have to create a new blog with the address gonegagainanothercity.wordpress.com. So when I finally got the much-awaited news last Saturday, my heart should have fallen. It should have been broken from the fall. None of this happened at all, and it’

Productively Yours

Statistics say that the average person spends 45-62 minutes of each day waiting for something. That’s about 4.2% of the average lifespan.

Shoes, love, and neurosis, too

So I found The One Pair. The funny thing is that I found it at the same mall, same store… The sales attendant told me that they had it on display forever… How come I didn’t see it then? “Probably, someone else was fitting it when you came by.” Hmmm… I guess that timing is really … Continue reading →
