I’m tired and sleepy, but this story has been whirling around my head all day and it’s one I’d like to share . Like many mornings the past eight years, I woke up and got myself to the gym for a run before work. Over the years I’ve come to know a few ladies through…

Life is strange. So many uncertainties yet one definite truth about life is that it all ends at one point in time. How it ends, how it stops, how we spend our last breath is one we do not know. When reading the many articles and literature on happiness (humans seem to be obsessed with…

They say that when you look back on life, it is the little things that you’ll remember and cherish. I agree for it is indeed the little things about Grandma that put a smile on my face and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. To me, Grandma embodied warmth, kindness, and happiness. I remember…

It has been awhile since I’ve last written. It’s been a long while. I don’t even remember the date or the last time I sat at my laptop typing away. It’s been that long. I’ve missed it. Life as it is, has decided that this year would be the year to teach us about life…

The past weekend has been one full of tragedies. All over the world, there were nothing but news of deaths and sadness. In Thailand, a third helicopter crashed while on a mission to remove the bodies from two previously fallen helicopter missions. The first fell due to bad weather. It is presumed that the second…

Tonight I am a little contemplative. I think it’s perhaps because of what I first saw when I got out of the house this morning coupled with the scandals making headline news. Usually in my usual rush to work, the focus is about getting there on time, getting things done and ignoring all what else…

The other day I had a chance to go to a temple unlike others in that the monk does not simply chant the buddhist prayers during the funeral, but instead he’ll spend roughly half an hour teaching us some of the philosophies in plain language for all to understand. I think it’s great and I…
