• The Beginning - Come Fly Away With Me

I see myself as an introvert who can play as an extrovert. Although I can easily talk to other people, I find it to be exhausting. From time to time, I like to be alone in my room reading a book or listening to music. When I'm alone, I can think about anything, everything, and nothing all at the same time. There's a sense of serenity and security.

Along with serenity and security, when I read a book my room becomes the setting as I watch the book come to life with my own characters. When I listen to different genres of music from various countries, I imagine myself to be in that country. I enjoy the idea of movement. Like running, I know that no one can catch me.

When I was young, I always moved to different places. I never stayed in one school for too long or made any friends in my neighborhood. I used to dread moving, but thinking back it's an integral part of my undying passion for travelling.

Today, I crave for movement or change. I don't know why, but being grounded in one place is too boring. The change that happens is too slow. I'm continually re-visiting the same place. I don't feel secure. However, reading and watching about other countries and their cultures amazed me so much that it somewhat mended my need for movement.

That's where "Ciel Flâneur" comes from. In french, the word "Ciel" means "sky" and "Flâneur" means "stroller, loafer, or saunterer". The idea is that I want to become a "Ciel Flâneur". It sounds a bit crazy, but I'm tired of falling. I want to fly.

So, it's my honor to have my readers come fly away with me.

The quote above definitely describes who I am. A self-proclaimed hopeless romantic. I admit it, I am infatuated with the idea of love. I don't know why. Maybe, it's the fleeting moment when you first talk to a person that you've never met, yet it feels like you've known them for a long time. Or, when you first realize that you do like your best friend. There's something about love that makes us all crazy.
Yes, there's also heartbreak, but isn't it because of heartbreak that we learn to build a wall that can be taken down one day by the perfect person?



There's something about running that I enjoy. I feel free. It's like nothing can catch up to me when I'm running. I become unstoppable. I feel undaunted.
Ever since I was young, I've always moved to a new place to live. I don't really know why, but I had to move to different schools. High School would be the first time that I've stayed and graduated in one place. In doing so, I've felt stuck. I don't know why, but I began to crave for change, for new scenery. Yes, I've made amazing friends, but it couldn't quench my yearning for fresh air.
Then, I learned an undying need to travel. To go to new places and learn about their culture. To see the wonders the World has to offer. I want, no, I need to travel. It's what will give my a peace of mind.



Along with my dream to travel the world, there's a certain spark in learning that attracts me to learn more. While thinking late at night, I've found myself realizing how big the world, or for that matter, the universe. We humans don't have full knowledge about the planet that we live in! I find this very shocking. That's why I like to read. I get to fill my head with knowledge about something new. It forms what I believe in and will stand for.
We're living in a century where everything is evolving at such a fast pace. For us to adept, we need to 'catch-up' with the changing world.
