How would you feel if someone told you things that are not that easy to forget? Words that linger in our memories and leave a deep scar in our hearts and being. Maybe I am not the kindest person or not the most loving (to some), but I am not cruel and hateful. Maybe I…

Muted Love
There are people who love loudly (what does loving loudly even mean to you?) and there are those who show love through their muted sacrifice. In my quest for finding out if there is a Japanese word for muted love, I came to find out that there are a few words on how to express…
Unmei Ai
Unmei ai is a Japanese word which translates to “love of fate.” For someone who has never been anywhere in Japan other than the airport and a short ride by bus for airport transfer, my love of Japanese words and its deeper meaning is quite unexplainable. To be precise, I discovered this word, thanks to…
Soul Keeping
If you are to look for the definition of soul, I am sure you will see quite a few different interpretations, well, according to what you are referring to. For this post, I’d like to think that soul is seen as the core of a person’s being, including their thoughts, feelings, and moral nature. Do…
There But Not Here
Have you been around people that are here but are actually there? I’m pretty sure you do. “There but not here” generally describes a situation where something or someone is physically present, but not engaged in the current moment or place.

Jesus emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, both from others and from ourselves. He teaches that just as God forgives us, we must also forgive others, even if they have wronged us repeatedly. Forgiveness is linked to…

God is good all the time! All the time, God is good! I’m sure you’ve heard or seen that a dozen times. And I’m pretty sure we all look at this differently at different stages in our lives. It could be the answered prayers we’ve been waiting for. A dream job, financial blessings, a promotion,…
Knowing My Bible
I received this Bible as a requested birthday gift from my daughter. And I couldn’t be any happier. When I was in my late teens-early twenties, I tried to read the Bible. And it was a failure. I remember being told by the elders that you will be sent all kinds of distractions from reading…
One Way Street
We all know what a one-way street is, right? A road or street where traffic is permitted to move in only one direction, typically indicated by signs or markings. But have you heard of one-way relationships or one-way managing? I am talking about all kinds of relationships and managing here. Unlike a one-way street which…
A Love Like Spring
I’ve always believe that my parents love for each other was one in a million. I never doubt that. “To me, your mom means the world.” – Yang Gwan Sik If I am fascinated with Japanese words, I am as much fascinated with Korean Dramas. Somehow they have a way of letting the audience immerse…
