About


Howdy! It's your resident girl-next-door here reporting for duty. The name's Sasha Bear and no, I'm not the evil purple plushie who's the bad guy of the Toy Story films! At this time of writing, I'm in my late twenties and counting; kind of late to take up blogging again, but in 2016 I decided to start keeping an online journal as a way of recording down precious memories - of people I've met and things I've done in the year. Hopefully twenty years down the road, I'd be able to look back upon this little island in the vastness of cyberspace and reminisce the years bygone.

Speak to me in Kisses is a collection of monthly or bi-monthly round-ups (what I've been up to in the month), annual travelouges, snippets, lifestyle bits or even reviews. It's mostly a diary for posterity's sake and also for friends to take a peek into what's going on in my life - sort of a way to keep in touch, if you may!

You can find me at the following other spaces:
http://heartoftheocean-depthsofthesea.tumblr.com - Moodboard, digital scrapbook, sounding board for my writing pieces. Circa 2009.
http://sasha-bae.tumblr.com - a collection of my writing, formalized. It's password protected to let me know if you would like to read.

Hola at you readers! It's me, Sasha Bear here - and today we're FINALLY going to post about my trip to the Balkans circa Octo...

Quote I Love

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
