It’s 1:30 a.m. I can’t count how many times or how long has it been since I would wake up around midnight or a little later and toss and turn trying my best to fall back to sleep. Every time when this happens, I would – most of the times – just lay still and…

Something in the Rain
It’s a rainy (gloomy in a way) Friday. More often than not, rainy days always make me feel gloomy. It’s weather for staying home. And I am at work, so… But today, I find the rain to be a relief. I find it calming and beautiful. And the sound of it is like music to…
Hear Me Out
Are you the type of person who says what you have to say? The type who would just say – blurt out what you want to say? I’m not, most of the time. I am very cautious with my words so it takes time for me to really say something. I usually play it in…
What’s Your Truth?
Even WordPress was excited about my three day posting streak! Who wouldn’t after many months of silence? I’m hoping that this will just be the start of many. Now let’s get real. Does the truth hurt your feelings or ego? I think accepting the truth is the hardest pill to swallow. If you saw something…
What’s Your {Soul}utions

Most nights, especially work nights, I’d be asleep by 8:00pm and already starting work at 6:00am. Last night while laying down, I got to thinking about what my daughter said, regarding one of her friends going through my blog and re-reading my old posts (and how they got to talking about my book). And I…
Flying Through Fog
Oxford dictionary defines brave as ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage. But is that really all there is to being brave? If I am to define brave, I don’t think I can in just one sentence. I think bravery is more than just what Oxford dictionary is saying. Bravery is a…
Born to Be You
Do you know anything about nests or nest building? Surely I don’t. Where does this came from, you may ask? On my way back to the building I work at, there’s a beautifully crafted nest that caught my eyes. I’m guessing it fell off the tree and someone picked it up and put it down…
{Out of Character}
“Being unmotivated means you need deep rest from the character you’ve been playing in the world…” I read this somewhere but there was no credit to who actually said it. Have you felt unmotivated lately? Unmotivated to write, maybe take photographs. Unmotivated to let yourself love freely, forgive easily or to just simply be. What…
