Pondering Home, Pondering You
Past 10pm and I am staring blankly at the roof of my side of the bunk bed. This is when I just thought of how beautiful it is to know one day that someone prayed and asked for you. One day when you are openly sharing stories with someone you just tell people about (way…

This is where I bid goodbye
I find my mind often drawing a blank lately; and I decided to use this space to document this and look back that I had moments like this. I refer to these moments when I want to tell a lot of things but my mind is just too tired to put those stories into just…

Cosmos
Not sure what this is, but I was reminded that in the drought, in the dryness, something beautiful and healthy could still grow. Just like cosmos flowers that might show its full bloom during fall (yes, fall), it takes “fall” season for some to come to full bloom too. You might also be that cosmos…

When love needs to step back
At this age, I can finally understand how this feels. I finally understand that there are times that love needs to step back. To allow the other person healing, as much as she needs space and time. Love is respectful and considers the other person more than your own. Love is patient and kind. Love…

Slow down, anxious heart
Halfway through quarantine and it has been so hard. I think we feel pretty much the same. I mean, have you ever thought that you would experience a pandemic like this in your lifetime? Neither do I. So I want to let this out right here. You are not alone — in the fear, in…

Why don’t you ask?
Two weeks ago I was in a coffee shop in a province that is not my hometown. Naturally, I know nothing about the place since I won’t rather visit if not for work. And so I don’t know whether that small cafe have their own comfort room. Little did I know that this once instance…
