Learning to Adapt to Major Changes in Life

I recently heard a piece of unexpected news and we went ballistic! I couldn't share here..yet..but all I can say is that people change. Things happen and then you question yourself about life and how you want to live it especially when it concerns about your future. At one point, you may have strong opinions about something and then you start to re-think about the whole situation and figure out, yes perhaps this is what I want and I'm ready to embrace it. Of course, stepping into a whole new territory is a different story. Nobody knows what the future has in store for us. At one point, we are leading the perfect life and then the next moment, we are fighting a crisis. I've written about this before because this is how life goes. I can't always expect things to remain the same all the time, for this year and the upcoming years. Naturally, if we're so much into the routine, it takes awhile to adjust. New or broken relationships, job postings, different set of work ...

End of First Week of the Year, Hurtful Comments & Having A Family

So we have officially gone into the first week of the new year, yay! I hope it's been alright for you. I didn't do much on New Year's Day itself but I did earn $40 from a customer which of course, I was so happy about because it was my first earnings. It sorta kickstarted my humble online business on the right foot. Also, even though initially I didn't get any orders yet for the year but slowly it trickled in and then I am going to be busy again, in a good way.  While we are rejoicing in what the year has in store for us, unfortunately, not all have a pleasant kickstart into the new year. A family of four passed away this early week from a horrific accident which occurred in Malaysia when a truck hit their car when it was stationary when the truck driver lost control of its vehicle coming down the slope. The couple left behind two other older children and I can't imagine the anguish they have to go through losing their family members. May God bless their souls a...

Ringing in 2018 in the Rain

We rang in 2018 with umbrellas in hand and the rain getting heavier as the midnight was fast approaching. For about two hours we were watching, we were engrossed in watching the free movie screening of Wonder Woman. Yes, in the rain as well. At first it was pretty bearable and there were people sitting at the lawn with makeshift picnic mats but the rain soon turned to a downpour and they were forced to leave. Well except these two girls who were sitting on leg less chairs propped up on a mat and sheltering themselves with umbrellas. Behind us was the fountain and they were still people sitting on the ledge in the rain. We were sitting on the small steps, not wanting to move despite the heavy rain as we thought we got the perfect spot to watch the fireworks later without the crowds.  I think everybody wanted to know how the movie ended, lol.  Before that we were watching a group of people exercising to Kickboxing in front of the National Gallery. It was fun looking at t...

Summer Romance

He laid down in the glistening sun Eyes shut and lips slightly open The slight breeze blowing his wispy fringe Suddenly I see him as the most beautiful thing ever sculpted to perfection Every ridges and curves How I longed to run my fingers through those hair and along the  streamline of his body As I ran my finger from the top of his head Gently caressing the smoothness of his baby face His keen senses came alive As he became acutely aware of my touch He got up to receive me with his kiss Which I promptly responded in the same manner Carefully & delicately How I longed to let the kiss linger on and on But I gently pushed him away As I did not wish to disappoint him that this wasn't forever Sooner I had to let him go For this was just a summer romance And the summer was coming to an end so soon He did not take it well nor did I  But I had to, my love I had to. We soon grew apart But the longing grew significantly harder to bear Some nights I cou...
