Life has been so bitter lately. Tests, challenges, and trials have always been bombarding me since I gained my reasons. I stumbled millions of times and fumbled a number of opportunities. There came instances that I brooded; “Am I really a magnet of bad luck?”. There were moments that I thought of giving up, I thought of resting for eternity. Then the time has passed and I am still here (in this world), writing and reflecting. Afterwards, I realized that I was strong enough to get through those hard times. So, I wrote this note as a piece to grip ... Read more

Ms S, a mother, often made a squabble with his elder teenage sons.

And then I got a chance to talk with the teary mother… Ms S: Ian, Did I do something wrong? Didn’t they realize that I was ... Read more

We are humans. As humans, we feel. When we are happy, we smile, we laugh. When we are sad, we cry. When we hurt, we bleed. And when I bleed, I put a band aid on wherever the wound is. I don’t like seeing the wound, I don’t like seeing the blood. I don’t want to see a reminder of the hurt. So yes, I’m an advocate of putting a band aid on it. No matter how small a wound is, no matter how obstructed from sight it is, put a band aid on it. Doesn’t matter if the wound ... Read more

Follow your pain is the contrast of the famous line follow your bliss. Most of our pains in life ought to tell us something or rather to teach us something.

But perhaps, following your pain will lead you into something. The journey may not be as light as following your bliss but surely there is something significant that you may discover as you go along or as you arrive at the ... Read more

Feeling too much sometimes make us afraid of what may come next. To feel too much especially for someone makes us vulnerable since it threatens our own protective instinct for our own existence. It makes us aware that one strange person in this entire world manage to matter in our life. It makes us crave for something that wasn’t part of our being, that wasn’t there in the first place, but that something made everything in us insignificant. The shift from our own possessiveness in our lives to that of someone else weakens our individuality.  At some point, we manage ... Read more

Watching the trailer excites me. I know in the first place that these machines will really make out big once it starts rolling. I was so lucky to be one of those early birds to watch the movie in advance. Near midnight of June 28 (GMT+8:00) when I took my first glimpse of Micheal Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 3D, in which I guess add up to my pile of excitements. Revealed was, Neil Armstrong’s trip to moon was not merely to study the moon and its physical and chemical characteristics but also too look for an unidentified ... Read more

Just done watching the screening of DC’s latest offerring at the CS in MOA alone. I love this quote so I wont let this pass even though I already posted this on FB. Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) was chosen by the ring to be part of the the Green Lantern Corps, making him the only human in the row.
