The Hubz & I
“The Light of My Life” ~ Never did I know how wide my heart could stretch and how much love I have to give, until you came into my world.
“You Complete Me” ~ You restored me, you made me whole again, and my little boo-boo, I’m so glad you’re here.
We cannot love every animal in the world, but we can always embrace the privilege to love those that come our way.
One of my favourite scenes from the Sex and the City Movie is the one where Carrie and Mr Big were lying in bed; Carrie reading that non-existent book of “Love Letters from Great Men”. It moved me the same way the “It’s Time” scene in Eat Pray Love does – the one where Liz […] Read more…
Includes: Escape, Time-Travel, Embracing the lies, and some Partying. Lucky are the ones who never had their hearts broken before; but happy and complete are those who have.Looking back on my life at 37, I recall every single chapter of it that’s ended with a broken heart — over failed relationships, painful arguments, death of loved ones, […] Read more…
That afternoon, we checked into Siloso Beach Hotel on the southern island of Sentosa in Singapore, for no other reason than that it was closest to the beach where we had built many memories twenty years ago. I had not requested for him to bring anything; myself, I arrived armed with a Project Shop Blood […] Read more…
A chance encounter at Mass yesterday brought me diving to my knees in the pews, confessing my anxiety and fears that within minutes, I’ll come face to face with a friend from the past. The chance encounter is with a mutual acquaintance who informed that my “friend from the past” would be arriving shortly and […] Read more…
You recall the day that’s just gone by, hoping to stumble upon that one important moment that might have snuck by without enough attention paid to it earlier. Only sometimes, no such encounter comes to mind. So you do the next best thing, which is to take a short walk through the day’s occurrences and […] Read more…
“Let’s ask Jesus to help us find Timothy. We ask Jesus to help us look at the right places, and to open our eyes to see clearly where Timothy is,” I prayed with Matthew this morning at Church of Christ the King. With some hesitation, I continued, “If it is Your will, let us find […] Read more…
By 4.30pm, I was wracked with guilt. Today being a Labour Day public holiday that happened to fall on a Sunday meant it’s one of those very rare occasions when Matthew didn’t need to attend his Music Appreciation Class or swimming lesson. The plan for today was simple: We would attend Mass together with […] Read more…
Goodbye 2015! It’s been a terrible, unbearable, unacceptable and despicable year filled with all kinds of obstacles at every turn. I, for one, am pleased and relieved that it’s over. I know there is much to be grateful for but all I’m painfully aware of is how I have only one daily thought: will this […] Read more…
Dear Emma, Happy Blessed 2nd Birthday. And as with all other birthdays that we’ve celebrated for you and your brother – and I suspect for all birthdays from now on – I ask, “Where did the time go?” It’s taken me a while to get to know you, little girl. It’s taken me a long, […] Read more…
“An astronaut.” That was my answer as a little girl and there was nothing else I wanted to do but to go to space, see the stars, meet some friendly galactic neighbours and see the world(s). But that ambition died real quickly the first time I watched Space Odyssey 2001 – also as a young child. […] Read more…
