In the Life Log - Day 1 in My Musings
Day 1 is always the hardest, they say, and it couldn’t be further from the truth in my case. I’ve been feeling so out of it after the past Sunday’s happenings (it’s already Tuesday, 12:55 a.m. as...
Wish (A Poem) in My Musings
I didn’t realize almost a year had passed since my last entry. I’ll make it a point to post in here again, with the goal of being consistent. (1) It’s quite sunny out there Yet all I do is stare...
A Good Month in My Musings
Despite the mood of yesterday’s entry, March was still a good month overall. I was able to gain further insight towards how others perceive me, and what necessary attitude adjustments I need to m...
Of Work and Attachment in My Musings
While majority of my day was pretty decent, something in my mind snapped again. I’m not sure what the trigger is - could be my new colleagues, the slow pace / development, or a mixture of these a...
Dreaming in My Musings
I have been dreaming everyday for the past few weeks or so; some of which make sense, while some don’t. What I find intriguing is this has never happened to me (at least to the extent my memory s...
A Quiet Day in My Musings

The Ideal Life in My Musings
I dream of a life that is rich, in all aspects of the word. Where the best healthcare is at an arm’s length, and getting sick is not a cause of worry. It wouldn’t cost an arm, a leg, or even both...

To myself and Jen Today I shall be kind To others and my mind I shall not get annoyed Anger I shall avoid When things won’t go my way Positive words, I’d say To turn my frustrations Into affirmat...
Sentimental Attachment - Part Deux in My Musings

Winning: In Life and Many Others in My Musings
What constitutes success? As I ponder on today’s writing cue, I cannot help contemplating yet again. It is multi-faceted, yes, but that makes it even the more complicated. So to answer the questi...
Greatest fear in My Musings
I am afraid that I will be forgotten. Time does not spare anyone, after all; in due course, everything that once was will merely fade and just be a distant memory, if lucky. If I was not fearful,...
Gut Feel in My Musings
Intuition is an irony. It is spontaneous and has very little logic, yet we let it take part in our decision making. As I reflect on today’s writing cue, I do not have the faintest of idea when an...
Peaks and Valleys in My Musings
I was browsing Reddit yesterday when I came across the post “What screams that someone peaked in High School?”. I’m not sure if grateful is the correct word to use, given that I did not fall unde...
Sentimental Attachment in My Musings
We have this tendency to hold on even if there’s no longer an actual purpose to do so - whether it may be a person, relationship, belief, or material object. We try to salvage whatever we can, th...
Healing and Moving On in My Musings
What does it take to be healed? To move on and be free from the chains that bind? I finished Khaled Hosseini’s “The Kite Runner” this past weekend. While there were a number of heavy / uncomforta...
Walls and Gates in My Musings
Today’s cue is about what makes me guarded, and what do I need to trust again? I think of myself as being naturally guarded. One has to, especially when not everyone looks out for your (or my) se...
A Feeling of Safety in My Musings
I’ve been to a number of places - all of them with breathtakingly beautiful sceneries. There’s only one place I can consider my go-to, however, and that would be the gym. There’s a certain solace...
Self-Love in Hardship in My Musings
Today is Ash Wednesday, which marks the official start of Lent. I’d like to share some of the priest’s points in the homily which really resonated with me, and how these relate to the topic at ha...
Self-Forgiveness and Letting Go in My Musings
Today’s entry will be shorter than usual as there’s not much to write. See, while I have fumbled a lot in the past, these are but events long gone. At this point, I have already made peace with h...
Of Being Disconnected in My Musings
I remember a few weeks ago when I was speaking to Jen (hello if you’re reading this 😆) about this particular feeling of unease. It’s not new to me, as I had similar encounters in the past. That t...

Improving Self-Love in My Musings

Of Being Loved - Others and the Self in My Musings
This writing cue is timely, especially given yesterday’s occasion. I think despite our fascination towards the material, we all have that innermost longing to love and be loved. Isn’t it neat whe...
Blockages in My Musings
My cue for today is “where do I feel most blocked, and what small thing can I do today to release that?”. I’m not exactly sure what the context of “block” here is, so I’d say people that are har...
