Just scribble

Letters make up words and words make up thoughts.
I write down these thoughts on paper or in electronic format.
Sometimes, I hid them away in a memory folder then forget about it.
Others, I relate verbally with peers or friends.

The mind wonders endlessly as it sees through its eyes.
The sights, the sounds, the taste, and the feelings create picture puzzles.
Sorting them neatly, with heart wide open, let’s you think straight.
Learning is the mystery of the mind.

Don’t Care

I switched on the TV this morning and saw a depressing scene in Sudan. There were women sweeping the ground of rice and grains mixed with the dirt and dust. There was not enough food to feed the people. They were crying and children were malnourished to be left alone and stand on their own feet.

As I left home for work, I saw a 13 year old boy going to school and between his left fingers was a cigar. It was sad to note that at an early age he was already wasting his allowance. Then without a thought, he threw the cigar bud on the street. What kind of future do we see for this child?

When I came to school, litters were all over the stairs. Candy wrappers, biscuit wrappers, papers, etc.. I wanted to sweep and clean them off. Imagine cleaning the stairs from the ground to the third floor.. People don’t care anymore. For people who do care, what can we do to make a difference in all this?

Something Nice

I had a rare conversation with a friend yesterday. We talked about good and nice stuff. Of dreams, of love and of realities. It may sound serious but we were laughing all throughout. It’s seldom this way with someone you don’t see that much. I am always glad to have true friends.

Big Ten Years

Wow, big 10 passed. Many moments happened in those years. Perfect moments that lead me to where I am now. No regrets, for those were the times that nurtured my strength, in thoughts and in Spirit. I couldn’t ask for more.

Today, I begin another decade with anticipation and excitement. Although you cannot see what is at stake but something is there to be hopeful. Like how Max Ehrmann puts it, “With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.”

It’s good to travel this world and feel every moment. Cherish and carry the good things you encounter for these are the treasures you need, to go back home to our Paradise.
