About...

What.cha.ma.call.it seemed like the perfect word to sum up my thoughts toward launching my very first blog. According to the Oxford Dictionary, the fifteen letter word can be used to refer to a thing whose name one does not know. The word was something like a blessing as it relieved me of my blog naming stress and blog name generator quest. I happily settled with it because I believe the definition of the word can be used to describe creative works and the way in which they may be “unrecalled”, “unknown”, or “unexposed”. It came as a bit of a shock to me to find out that “whatchamacallit” was not just a colloquial word used in our everyday conversations but a legit dictionary term.

I am a person with many thoughts, perhaps even too many thoughts sometimes. This blog can hopefully be a platform for me to span my wings of creativity and fly. Poems, pictures, inspirational quotes, personal philosophies only begin to describe the diverse material I will post in my blog. There will be a ton of “whatchamacallit moments” so don’t say I didn’t warn you! Enjoy to your own discretion.

Anatidaephobia ( A monologue)

Every time I go to Granville Island, I can't help but feel uneasy because I have this problem... and this confession is very hard to make... so please understand. I have anatidaephobia. It's not something I want to have. You see, Granville Island is an island and is home to a ton of animals, birds namely. I am worried they will attack me. I never know what they are thinking. What if they poop on me? There are always flocks of birds swooping down and ransacking through our half-eaten fish and chips or licking the remnants of our fresh vanilla ice-cream. I cannot make eye-contact with birds because I never know what they are thinking. Yes, I have anatidaephobia.
