The Quiet Notes
To Remember Me
The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital; busily occupied with the living and the dying. At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and...
Echoes of Our Hearts Revisited
I am not a sweet talker and I don't believe much in PDA's . Call me a prude, but I believe that certain PDA's that maybe normal to some is more appropriate done in private.But I can be mushy, yes, don't be surprised, but only during hormonal changes. And tonight,...
Angels Of My Life: The One I Didn’t Had the Chance to Meet
I know I shouldn’t be doing anything but to relax, lest one person who literally “paid” me to relax and take the week off read about this. But this isn’t work, but a passion, so here I am blogging. Taking the opportunity to post much. Do you believe in angels?...
To Dream New Dreams
It's always been a habit of mine to regularly assess my life and compare it with the kind of life I had years ago. In short, daydreaming. 🙂 I would always try to check which of my heart's desires have been fulfilled and which I still need to exert more effort to be...
Beautiful In My Eyes
What is real beauty? How can you gauge someone’s beauty? Is there a sort of like an instrument that would give you a reading on how beautiful you are, much like how you measure Body Mass Index (BMI). Correct me if I’m wrong, but no such thing has ever been invented...
Keeping the Faith Under Pressure
Earlier, I was thinking of not going through posting this but again reading about the latest news, and the flood of comments from other people who are so judgemental, I knew I just have to make this post. Plus, I have this strong urge to write and a need to convey my...
Breaking Chains and Running Free
Tonight, I am supposed to write something funny, but I ended up sad and wishing some things never happened. I was looking for pictures that I can use for my posts when I stumbled into a picture that I haven't seen before.Maybe it was God's way of putting an end to...
Cupid, Hit Me One More Time
Photo source: mobileapples.com I'm no Aileen Santos, I'm no relationship expert, and I don't claim to be one. I admit that, after two failed relationships, I really don't know how to start going out and seeing men again, on a different level. The kind of level that...
Lost in Translation : Трудности перевода
Finally, the election hullabaloo is done and over. We can get on with our lives now. It's been a while since I last posted but I really got so very busy. It just never crossed my mind that I could actually do so much. God indeed is so great! Just when I was starting...
Stressed Out!
I feel so guilty of being mad today and I feel sorry for my kids that they have to see me in this condition. They've done nothing wrong, but just be kids. I can't really help it. I am trying my best to relax, but somehow anxiety is getting the best of me. I know in my...
Reflections: A Blast from the Past and How I Continue To Fight in the Battlefields of My Mind
A note before you start — this piece talks about suicide and a period when I was in a very bad way. If that's not something you can hold today, please skip it; there'll be another post. If you're struggling right now, the NCMH Crisis Hotline is 1553 (free, any...
On Falling in Love Again
Photo: youthvector.com I think I'm in love again! (ooh,how I wish!) Is it alright to say that I think I am falling in love again? Or does the word still exist in the vocabulary of women like me? I am 30+ years old, separated from a partner of four years for just a...
