Sunday, October 18th, 2009Like any other normal girl, one of the ways to turn a crappy day around is to go for a little shopping therapy. What can I say? There’s something about spending money to get something I want that makes the worries go away, even for a while.
Normally, I would buy myself a pair of shoes [...]
The Path of Someone Seeking Love
Monday, July 20th, 2009LOVE.
Though it is true that I don’t think of it often, the hope is still there, dancing around my heart and mind. I reckon if I have the time and energy to think about heartaches and heartbreaks, why can’t I spend the same amount (or more even) of time and energy to hope for love?
Is [...]
A Father’s Love
Saturday, June 13th, 2009You might be wondering why a photo of bananas accompanies this post, it’s all due to a poignant encounter yesterday afternoon, which tugged at my heart as I was reminded that it’s Father’s Day weekend.
I had wished I had my camera with me when I saw a two-year old boy trying to push his father’s [...]
The Year After
Monday, May 18th, 2009The smell of freshly cut grass fill my nostrils. Sunlight dancing across the pages of my journal. A pen in hand, splashing ink on it.
“Sitting on the grass one quiet morning, sans the angry humming of the grass cutter and the sound of the broom wrestling with the fallen leaves littered around the grassy knoll, [...]
Until I Wake Up - Dishwalla: Rodanthe, Sandition, and Alexander The Great
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Travel back in time and imagine horse-drawn carriages and muddy roads. Get a glimpse of a miracle unfold in an otherwise ordinary life. Experience the magical encounter with someone great. Spend your nights in Rodanthe. Traipse around Sandition. Immerse yourself in the life of Alexander The Great.
There are days when I don’t feel like reading [...]
House-sitting and the Twilight Saga
Thursday, April 9th, 2009There are times when I’m the one packed, headed off to some distant land but there are also times when I need to stay put. And stay put, I did. I’m currently house-sitting a house that’s as old as I am.
As much as I don’t mind being alone, since I can think of many [...]
Mind Over Matter
Monday, February 16th, 2009A 5-Year Old Philosopher
“Mind over matter,” my nephew would say, esp on occasions — whilst spending time on the beach — when he found the water a tad bit cold but would still want to stay in simply because he wanted to continue playing in the sea. It was something that his dad would tell [...]
There’s Treasure Everywhere
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009“I’M SIGNIFICANT! … Screamed the dust speck.” — Calvin
Life can be utterly and taxing-ly overwhelming. I’m barely halfway through the entire length of it yet I’m already tired, aren’t you? It’s all the falling, the detours, and the countless disheartening wrong turns. Lost and just about ready to throw in the towel. Yes, quit — [...]
What have you been up to lately?
Saturday, February 7th, 2009Ideas, Goals, etc
It’s fascinating when you find yourself in a state wherein ideas come in great waves that you have to try and rein it in a bit so that you can really digest everything and map out how they could all possible work and be executed.
“Um. Er. Uh.” One would stammer when asked. Dear [...]
Oz Welcome and Celebrating 31 Years
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008The Oz Welcome
Pushing a trolley laden with a set of luggage amounting to 60kgs (or somewhere close) became less taxing when I saw a beautiful family holding up a home-made placard saying “Welcome Lola & Tita!” walking through the airport doors. Now, that’s what I call a warm and love-filled welcome! I’ve always wanted to [...]
