"Somebody help me tame this animal I have become" - Three Days Grace With all that's happening recently, I've observed that I'm significantly being shown more of what I don't have, resulting in a bevy of ugly attitudes and reactions from me. I mean, it's happening at work, at home, and everywhere else. I used... Continue Reading →

Walk the Line
(Finish Line, Part III) My mom and I had one rare moment; A clash of personalities, or a struggle determining whose pride was more unyielding. We had a verbal spat, and I just thank God that it's over with me having more respect for my parents. Whenever someone comes to me lamenting ('complaining', more like)... Continue Reading →
Finish Line?
(Victory Line, Part II)It's happening again. I'm here at work, with close to nothing to do, and with an empty slate - rather, a wide expanse of Notepad that should have words in it. I keep saying that if so much thoughts are going through your head it is quite difficult to stay with one... Continue Reading →

All this time I've been transitioning between thinking freely and setting things straight by way of prioritizing. It looks like I haven't been doing a good job either, because I've...

Matter over Mind
The body is willing but the spirit is weak. My mind is probably still on vacation. I see the blinding lights which simulate daylight. I hear countless voices, with the words 'Ma'am', 'Sir', and 'Internet' heard constantly in the resultant cacophony, like an endless techno track that only a few would listen to, much less...

Storing Grace
There have been many times that I walk out of church with a one-liner that just sticks to my head until it is digested by my being. One of these adages that I remember would be, "You can never outgive God." This means that the bigger the blessings you give people, the bigger the blessings... Continue Reading →
INeXceSs
Sometimes having a lingering and unexpressed thought in your head takes a good deal of your attention to keep it lingering till the time it is expressed. Sometimes these thoughts just have to linger until the appropriate time comes. If a thought makes such an impact on you, it would be a whole lot better... Continue Reading →
