Alcohol And I – A Story Of Our 2 Years Of Separation, Thus Far

January 25th, 2010 13 Comments

Last weekend, I have quietly celebrated the 2-year anniversary of not having a single drop of alcohol in my blood stream.  I even faked drinking that glass of champagne on stage, during my friend’s wedding when I was the emcee and my sister’s wedding in Hong Kong and in Singapore.  Of the many questions I have received over [...]

Is Liking What We Get A Resignation To Life Or The Key To Contentment?

January 17th, 2010 16 Comments

My favorite writer Doris Lessing once wrote: We learn to like what we get.  Seven simple words so accurately describe our current state of affair, in so many different dimensions.  But yet when I shared this revelation with a friend, her immediate response was: That’s called resignation to life.  Such is the beauty of literature.

New Theme This Year: Be Committed And Do It NOW

January 3rd, 2010 9 Comments

Happy 2010!  How did you celebrate the New Year Eve?  Initially, Cynthia and I wanted to celebrate the countdown in a Spanish way: to eat twelve grapes, one on each chime of the clock.  Alas!  At the checkout counter of a grocery store, a few days before the New Year Eve, Cynthia asked if we [...]

A Recollection – How Years Have Vanished!

October 4th, 2009 11 Comments

Yep.  That little kid you see in the photo is me.  I have got the confirmation this morning and I will get to that in just a moment.  Like many entries I write, this one started with a concept, a consolidation of ideas for the past few days.  I have got my thoughts linked and [...]

A Spiritual Reflection – What Karen Armstrong’s Case For God Really Means To Me?

September 29th, 2009 12 Comments

This post is irregular in two ways.  One, I am often – if not always – happy with what I publish here.  Technically speaking, there is nothing wrong with the book summary I wrote on a Sunday morning, 7am to be exact.  But the more I read that post, the more disconnected I feel.  I [...]

32 Weeks Have Passed And I Now Have My To-do List

August 13th, 2009 9 Comments

Recently, I read an entry from one of my friend’s private blog.  It is kind of private because I promise her long time ago that I wouldn’t make a link into her site.  She said, six months have passed and she still doesn’t know what she wants to do.  And she has another six months to [...]

Into the Valley of Selegie

May 5th, 2009 2 Comments

A few good friends of mine commented that I have come to a full circle when I told them that (1) I’ve moved to a “new” office that isn’t new and (2) year 2000 I worked at the same building for the same employer.  The difference is: I was a consultant to them back then and am [...]

A New Theme for the New Year – Follow It Through!

January 12th, 2009 16 Comments

Following my annual tradition in determining a new theme for a new year – pretty much like how a Pope is chosen – a few ideas have been going round my head for days and I have been waiting for an answer [from above].  As though I saw fumata bianca raising up from my ears, [...]

In Search for Styles – Of Photography, Oil Painting, Music Creation, and Writing

January 9th, 2009 5 Comments

What’s wrong with this picture?  I will tell you in a moment. 
Recently, I have become serious on photography.  As I put a pause on the sound of the shutter (too many photos to be processed), I reflect upon my different channels in expressing art.  Amazed by the similarities and differences, I have been working on [...]

What a Fruitful Year that Ends with a Bang: My Sister’s Wedding

December 31st, 2008 24 Comments

Out of over 7,000 photos taken with my barely 2 months old camera, if I could pick one picture as my Nikon moment, this is it.  Friends of mine perhaps rarely see this look of mine that is ecstatically happy.  And indeed I was and more, overwhelmed with emotion.  I passed my camera to my [...]
