The student leaders of Queenstown Secondary are funny. It’s my last day with them tomorrow. It’s pretty stressful having to speak not infront of the students but instead, my two directors who are experienced. I have so much more to learn, to brush up. There is such a marked difference between a speaker and a [...]

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle

 
Here are the photos from work. Adorable right ? But you don’t know how much energy they drained from me. Shawn called me this morning for work on Wed, Thurs, Fri from 8 to 5 and briefing is tomorrow afternoon in town. I’m [...]

Sigh Im gonna have major withdrawal symptoms from JC LIFE. I felt kinda nostalgic packing my notes and developing the photos the other day. I do miss the crazy things the my notorious class does. From setting fire in class to giving ourselves a school day off on a normal school day. From PW with [...]

I am extremely tired/ shag/ flustered/ zombified/ blur/ stone/ rock/pebble.
And I’m starting to draw away from people, friends, good friends. Stop asking me if I’m okay when everything is falling apart and friendships are sinking beyond salvation.

If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn’t change a thing
This made me all on who I am inside
And if I could thank god
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine

The summers gone, the years have passed,
My friends [...]

It’s really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
I want to go to timbre, the loof, chijmes, or daybed to chill this weekend. I need to drink good cocktails, eat good finger food, walk good talks, laugh like never [...]

13,000 + Lives in China’s earthquake already lost.
30,000 + Lives in Myanmar’s cyclone already lost.
7 bombs killed at least 45 in Jaipur, India.
 
I have been reading Asia news quite closely these days. It’s just heart-breaking to know that the majority of lives being taken away are youths/students. Especially China’s earthquake that claimed 900 [...]

Shermaine. Candice. Daniel. Kaiteck. Raphael. Julius. Josaiah. Jamie. Aaron. Ash. Jolene. Jean. Winona. Shervon. Geraldine.
Pray. Pray. Pray. Get down on our knees and PRAY. Because there is something moving in the spiritual realm. PRAY.
The voice was so clear, for the first time in my life actually.
“PRAY”

Then, one fine morning, she turns on a New York station
She doesn’t believe what she hears at all
She started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock ‘n roll

Despite all the computations
You know, you could just dance to the rock ‘n roll station.
 

Since it was Mother’s Day, I felt guilty [...]
