February 18th, 2010 8 Comments

Life is simple.  Most of the time, you are waiting for something to happen.  And you spend a good portion of your life doing cut and paste activities.  Or pure repetitive, routine type of work.  Even the pleasure that we seek comes mostly in a variation of cookie cutter recipes.  Or the same old thing that pleasures [...]

November 3rd, 2009 4 Comments

The working title of this drawing is “Body and Blood of Christ”, inspired by All Saints’ Day.  Explanation of the composition is at the end of this post.  Last Sunday morning, Cynthia asked while we finally settled down inside the Church, “Why this eagerness?”  Nothing escapes her observation, on me.  That’s scary.  True, of all [...]

Snippet Of My Life Episode 22 – My Hairdresser and I, and the Random Observations near My Workplace

September 1st, 2009 7 Comments

What triggered the longer than usual conversation between my hairdresser and I, covering topics that we have not ventured into, even after more than 10 years of my regular visit, I do not know.  Maybe it was the closing hours.  An empty salon with me wanting a haircut, her working with the shaver and scissors [...]

July 29th, 2009 15 Comments

I often wonder: What is your morning ritual at work like?  I once followed the blog sites of a paramedic and a restaurant server and what excitingly interesting lives they have!  Office life doesn’t make great movie story.  If I have to think of one, I think of “Being John Malkovich”.  I really can’t think [...]

Extreme Idol
So Adam Lambert didn’t win the title.  On the next day, I briefly joined the countless of fans reading through hundreds of comments easily found in the Internet.  It was as though we all need a global support group, to hear that common voice.  Majority of the younger audience these days probably won’t appreciate [...]

It is as though our tiny little island has been engulfed by a thick blanket of sleepiness, most I talk to are feeling kind of tired, myself included.  Maybe recession has taken a toll on our energy level, maybe Good Friday is so close yet so far.
“I’m paid as a writer,” all of a sudden [...]

Snippet Of My Life Episode 17- Duality of the Little Things I Observe

April 6th, 2009 16 Comments

This morning, I entered the lift, a limping man was in front of me; I was wondering if that is permanent.  This morning, I sat down at my work desk, greeted by a leave request that was pending for my approval.  My colleague in his late fifties came by, told me that his brother-in-law passed [...]

I jumped out of my bed in the middle of the night, thought I saw lava flowing out from my attached bathroom, with the door left ajar.  My logical mind kicked into action.  The first thing I did was to save my phone that was lying on the floor connected to a charger near to [...]

September 17th, 2008 10 Comments

I am literally the last man standing in my Spanish class.  All the girls proceed to the next level.  The guys have other plans.  It appears that the girls are doing much better in languages.  I wonder why.  Must be in our DNA.
Following AIG episode, I texted my Prudential insurance agent this morning.  Do I [...]
