It’s been a while since I last updated my blog with my latest happenings. It took alot of procrastination I confess, that it just reached a point that I totally forgot about a life that I had linked with this vast void. Then today- with just one feeling, I instantly returned to the page I [...]
It rained today in Lakewood Ranch- something that I personally would have wanted to experience at home. But since it took place on a weekday, I was inside the hotel not even mindful that it was already pouring outside by mid-afternoon. It was only until I stepped out of the building and walked across the [...]
Children’s excitement over a particular event that is expected to take place is for me the most genuine expression of all. Once upon a time we were children…and we know what it felt like. The anxiety over waking up on Christmas morning to find a present left by Santa; or the jovialty over a promise [...]
My Christian turned 36 yesterday. It was his first birthday as a married man. And as a wife, I tried to make it extra special…something that he will remember and hopefully get used to for the years to come. It was not like he planned it to be that way, but looking back now I [...]

I met her in a time when the sun’s warmth was just too perfect to be allowed to embrace one’s whole [...]
It was a rather lonely drive back home- especially for Mom. She was still with us twenty minutes ago, covered in a pale brown blanket I wrapped her around my arms as her head tried to manage to stick out to the open window of the car to sniff what could have been her last [...]
In the midst of economic difficulty here in the United States where finding a job that is in-line with your profession is nothing but a test of patience and endurance, my path brought me to a place that I’d never expected… even in my wildest dreams. I am born squeamish. And nobody can alter that. [...]
