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…

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…
