Many people are afraid of getting involved again after
the collapse of a relationship. Some people would call
them embittered, but beneath bitterness is fear. We have been hurt. We are
afraid of being hurt again so we stop trusting men, or women.
I don't want to be one of those persons. This is
not to say that I don't have my own fears. I do. Sometimes my fears are so huge
they feel as if they will engulf me. But I'm willing to sit quietly in the
center of those fears until they become some... Continue reading ...
Let It Be

Poem
Some days the right person comes along at the right time
and reaches inside
the churning maw of chaos and doubt
we have
slipped within
opens a hand
we take hold
and choose to walk
out
It's funny how a
few well-placed words can offer clarity
and the world
tilts
slides open
a sigh escapes our
weary hearts
and
we realize we've been holding our breath
for years
And quite suddenly
we know the singular joy
of sitting deeply
in the stillness of our own truth
our power, our plenary selves ... Continue reading ...
Living My Life

Poem
Through sheer insanity, I jump off the ring of fire that kept me in prison, consuming all my strength. Then freed0m on the apex of it is finally on my reach, disregarding all the pessimisms, resentments and sarcasms.. I become whole again.. Which I've wanted years ago.. Mustering only a will power and an ounce of courage... And a colossal amount of appreciation of life.

The Day I Die

Poem
Cry over my grave when I die, That I could swim in the sea of your sorrow. But please, never come in black, I might get lost in the dark. Keep the candle burning, Never let the wind blow. For as long as the flame is dancing, I can find my way home. To eternal bliss that can give me peace, In your heart and mind, I shall rest.
When the sun bids you goodbye and take refuge for the night, I shall rise from my coffin to give you warmth. And when at night the moon refuse to glow, worry not my love for the stars w... Continue reading ...
Under The Moonlight

Love
When the world is resting, and the night is still. When the moon is the only source of light, Can't help but think of you my love.
As the cold breeze passes by, It brings shivers down deep in my spine. Missing once more, the warmth of your love, Oh, I just can't live when you're not around.
I close my eyes, I see you in the dark, And feel your presence like a teardrops. I open my eyes to tremble at your sight, Holding me close, surrendering your life.
The feel of your body against mine, Stir a sensation s... Continue reading ...
On Loving... Part 3

Love
Those who do not like it call it responsibility. They play with it, calling it a game. They are not living with it, calling it a dream. Those who love each other, call it destiny. If we lose love, then there must be a reason behind it. The reason is sometimes difficult to understand, but we still have to believe When He took something, He will be ready to give us much better. We just have to wait patiently. Why wait? Because even if we wanted to make a decision, we need not want to rush. Because e... Continue reading ...

we join him and fall into a similar oddity

There are things

People who do not

Happiness is for

Are You Being Too Hard on Yourself?

Most of us are
subject to guilt feelings. We may be spending so much time feeling guilty
everyday. Guilt for the most part is very constructive. It's an important
civilizing influence that keeps people from hurting, distressing or
disappointing others. However, the system that works for good can also
malfunction.
If your guilt
feelings don't lessen after you've tried to make amends, or if you are feeling
guilty for things you can't control, you're probably suffering from false
guilt, whic... Continue reading ...
How could someone with so little be so happy?

"Thank you, Sir.
Praise the Lord!" the old beggar exclaimed in clear English as I shove a
five-peso coin into his hand. I was on my way to meet a friend at a restaurant
near Raja Solaiman Park one rainy October day when I chance upon the kindly old
man, charming passers-by for alms with his tooth-less smile and sunny
disposition.
Minutes later, as I sat
comfortably in the restaurant with my friend, the memory of the old man
lingered in my mind. After our meal, we go to the spot where I left... Continue reading ...
A Tell Tale Story

"True!–nervous–very, very dreadfully nervous I had
been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease
had sharpened my senses–not destroyed–not dulled them. Above all was the sense
of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heavens and in the earth. I heard
many things in hell. How, then, am I mad?"
"…Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know
nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how
wisely I proceeded–with what caution–with what fores... Continue reading ...
In My Humble Opinion

In My Opininon
About the only thing I don't have a strong opinion on is why there is even a small percentage of people out there who always respond to surveys with "no opinion." Yet there they are, in every poll, the no-opinion people. A question could be as simple as "Is Michael Jackson dead?" or "Is durian truly edible?" and this people will have nothing to say, either way. Most of us are just brimming with beliefs, attitudes, judgement calls and crank theories. We freely give our wisdom in bars, on radio... Continue reading ...
