Who am I?
I’m an ordinary Jane who’s trying to get by with my day-to-day life. I have fallen several times in the past but I am trying to bring myself up. In this podcast, you will hear and understand that an ordinary person who you may have walked right past, or had a coffee at some point may have single-handedly fought her own battles but still tried to keep her balance.

EP1. The Gemini Effect - Pilot Episode
Started out as colleagues, Mia and Erick share almost the same likes, dislikes, opinions, music, whatever. They share the same birth month and even graduated from the same course in college though they studied in different schools. Hence, they call themselves "Kambal" (Twins).
EPISODE 40, The Finale : December 18, 2009 - Farewell, Mahal!
MEKHAELA wrote a letter a day before MILES' birthday. Maybe it was HER way to finally close HER doors and bid farewell to HIM, and also to reconcile the whole “hoping for him to come back to me”.
"...I have loved you. That’s all that matters."
Voiced by MIA
EPISODE 39: December 16, 2009 - Miles Is Over Me
A common friend had told MEKHAELA that Miles had dropped the towel and moved on. It was painful news to bear… how did SHE cope with it?
"...I remembered he said to me (and I still keep that SMS he sent) that he was being honest and all. So, was all of that a lie? Was it just a joke all along? "

EPISODE 38: December 7, 2009 - The Final Letter Drafted Under the Sorrows
MEKHAELA has been so clueless on what’s the true purpose of HER existence. Is SHE just here to pay the bills? To be happy? To suffer?
"For years I have been wondering what’s the purpose of my being here. I had no clue before. All I know is that I need to live and die like the rest of the lot."

EPISODE 37: November 29, 2009 - “Who’s That Lost Soul?”
MEKHAELA wrote yet another entry referring to HERSELF as a third person. Under a microscope, what does SHE mean by that? Whois SHE? What has become of HER? Let’s find out in this entry from 12 years ago.
“…and so another round of hangover begins!”, exclaimed Mekhaela as she continues to sip her Russian Vodka with a lemon twist.

EPISODE 36: November 28, 2009 - The Struggles
Dreams, do they make everything so real or do they make you confused the very next day? This entry speaks about how MILES had been in MEKHAELA'S dreams repeatedly and that’s quite concerning because let’s face it, SHE was in the middle of moving on.
"Recurring nightmares of him? How the hell? What the hell? Why the hell?"

EPISODE 35: November 25, 2009 - Mekhaela Declares: We Can Never Be Friends Again
What’s the use of becoming friends with an ex who has hurt you a lot? Was MEKHAELA bitter? Was SHE still hurting? Was it still a good idea to open HER doors if he would like to extend a hand for friendship?
"He’s dead. He made me think he’s dead. "

EPISODE 34: November 18, 2009 - On Public Eye
Dreaming about someone that hurt you makes it a lot harder to just shrug the feelings off. But what had MEKHAELA done to move past it?
"After all the crap he’s been saying to me, I finally see what others have tried to warn me about. "

EPISODE 33: November 16, 2009 - Little Miss Houdini

EPISODE 32: November 15, 2009 - On Drinking Binge
The date? November 15th of 2009. MEKHAELA couldn’t remember the time. But SHE just realized SHE spiraled back to HER weakness. How did it happen? This entry would surely explain, or probably not. It’s up to you to decide.
"The only good thing about me getting drunk is I stop talking the minute alcohol reaches to my brain. I don’t flirt, I don’t talk, I just sit there and stare at the people around me as if I’m plotting a massacre in two hours."

EPISODE 30: November 9, 2009 - Saved Messages: Bitten By The Ugly Truth
MEKHAELA kept Miles’ messages maybe because SHE wanted to prove to HERSELF that SHE wasn’t crazy and he really existed, or probably SHE was just being creepy. Yeah, it was funny though. Or Maybe because those messages were the only thing that’s left of him.
"I used to think of him as someone who would never hurt me. But he just did, and it scared the crap out of me."

Episode 29: November 8, 2009 - On Fighting Temptation
MEKHAELA wasn’t good at dealing with HER emotions and SHE tends to hurt HERSELF. Maybe because when SHE gets herself wounded up, hurting HERSELF conceals the emotional pain SHE'S going through. Little did SHE know that this isn’t healthy.
"Why do I have the urge to hurt myself yet again?"

EPISODE 28: November 7, 2009 - Alarmed: On Changing Routes
When the universe conspires, it does and MEKHAELA thought it was one of those instances that SHE felt the universe hated HER. SHE had to change everything. What happened to HER with Miles had affected everything. But how did it distress MEKHAELA as a whole?
"Do I need to change my route as well? "

EPISODE 27: November 4, 2009 - Confession Blues: Lesson Learned
The next entry speaks about the last two entries ago about MEKHAELA meeting this guy named ZIGGY. She's being asked what’s her ideal guy? A question that was asked more often every SINGLE time. Did MEKHAELA had one back then, or not? This guy's question that got MEKHAELA frozen for a bit.
"Why can’t just a guy be man enough to say to a woman’s face that it’s really over?"

EPISODE 26: October 24, 2009 – IN TROUBLE: The Suicide Attempt
What the hell was MEKHAELA thinking? Was suicide the only solution to everything? Or was SHE being slapped by the reality and pulled HERSELF together?
"It was a very stupid idea, I know. But have you ever gotten the feeling that problems have become so overwhelming and yet there’s no one to hear you out but yourself..."

EPISODE 24: October 7, 2009 - ON LAYING LOW
Laying low after all of those things that happened to MEKHAELA was a good decision, or so SHE thought. Maybe it gave HER time to think and to pull HERSELF together.
"Some will be retained but there are some that are going to be forgotten forever. .But have they sympathized with me at the lowest point of my life?"

EPISODE 23: October 6, 2009 - On the “Loser’s Routine” and “Lip Service”
MEKHAELA decided to simply withdraw from the people who wouldn’t understand HER. SHE thought it was all for the best. The less SHE sees them, the little they will see HER vulnerability. Was it a good decision or did it take turn for the worse?

EPISODE 21: August 29, 2009 - CONDEMN
As August came to an end, MEKHAELA wrote an entry as though SHE was just speaking to MILES. As if he was just in front of HER, but he wasn’t. SHE was just talking to a wall, pretending it was him.

EPISODE 20: August 16, 2009 - A Ghost Haunts Again
MEKHAELA never thought that August in the year 2009 plays a significant role in HER life. A ghost was haunting HER and SHE will not fully recover until MILES leaves HER in peace. Torture or what?

EPISODE 19: August 9, 2009 – MY LOST BOTTLE
It was a cold and rainy August of 2009 and all MEKHAELA can talk about is HER one precious bottle. This bottle that gave HER life and happiness. But why is it so important?
“I know it’s going to be impossible that my bottle will be returned to me, however, I’m still clinging on to the hope of finding it soon. Nothing can replace it. That’s how I love that container.

EPISODE 14: July 22, 2009 - RANTING (Just for Today)
MEKHAELA started to think that there’s no hope for happiness left of her anymore. Was it because SHE's too frustrated that SHE didn’t get what SHE wanted or was SHE just too weak to fight off the pessimism that’s been burning in HER heart?
...It’s a shame that people have the guts to hurt a person like me who does nothing but give them love and emotional support all along.Voice: MIA

Episode 13: July 21, 2009 - ON BEING IN LOVE AND BEING HURT AT THE SAME TIME
The only mistake MEKHAELA did was that SHE clung to the memories and hoping that MILES will come back. SHE had never forgiven herself for being too hard on herself. MEKHAELA still saved all the memories MILES left.
"Submissive is the word of the day. That’s me. I allow myself to be eaten by my feelings unknown to the fact that I’m slowly being killed by them in the middle of the chapter."

EPISODE 12: July 16, 2009 - DO YOU EVER? (A Poem)
July 2009 has been a rough month for Mekhaela. But despite it all, she was able to channel her inner poet and turn her sadness into poetry. Cheesy? Quite.

Kiss you on the lips and play with your ear
Whispering words you always long to hear,
And hear me make a giggling noise when you say you love me?"

EPISODE 7: JULY 6 2009 - UNSENT- MEKHAELA TO MILES
What was Mekhaela even fighting for? For him to come back even if she knew he won't? Was she just making a fool of herself for thinking he's for real?
