Happy Father’s Day, everyone!!!

June 17, 2007 in Celebrations & Festivals, Family Matters, Memoirs of a Wanderer, Personal Reflections

I thank God everyday that I had a father for 23 years of my life and that he had moulded me into the person that I am today. My heart goes out to all the children whose father left them while they were still young, yearning for a strong, trustworthy father figure in their life. How will [...]

Today’s my Dad’s 1st Deathday

January 22, 2007 in Family Matters, Memoirs of a Wanderer

I’m calling it a Deathday because that’s exactly what it is. If there’s birthday, there’s got to be a deathday, wouldn’t you think so? I don’t like the sound of the “anniversary of death” - anniversary is suppose to connote something that is momentous and memorable. I don’t find the death of a loved one [...]

A Moment of Reflection - On Writing

September 8, 2006 in Memoirs of a Wanderer, Personal Reflections

Been meaning to write, but work and classes has taken a toll on me - the past couple of days was really taxing. Hence, my short-term hiatus. Been doing that quite frequently…not posting on my blog, I mean. I felt extremely guilty.
Well, I’m back posting something. I don’t know what this post will be ‘cos I don’t [...]

When I was a young, reckless teacher…

July 30, 2006 in Blogathon 2006, Education Matters, Memoirs of a Wanderer, Personal Reflections

In between January 2004 and May 2005, I led the life of teacher-educator-administration staff for a local international school. While I enjoyed myself very much teaching the students and gaining firm friends from among my students, I had a rather tumultous time with the other teachers and staff of the school, in particular the deputy principal (who [...]

The Bachelor Life

July 30, 2006 in Blogathon 2006, Family Matters, Memoirs of a Wanderer

My youngest uncle is a bachelor. He’s already approaching his 50s and he is still happily single. He’s quite loaded, that I know, since he is a branch manager of one of the local banks and he commands quite a high salary. He gets to travel abroad frequently, so much so that I really admired his [...]

Haiku on Children’s Innocence

July 30, 2006 in Blogathon 2006, Memoirs of a Wanderer, Personal Reflections, Poetry, Haiku, & Other Creative Works, Youth & Children's Issues

showers of joy comes
little children dance in delight
how sweet is innocence!
I wrote this haiku not very long ago as I was reminiscing about the time when I was about 5 or 6 years-old playing in the rain with a couple of neighbourhood friends. In those times, life was still simple and one can afford a little [...]

It’s Father’s Day

June 18, 2006 in Family Matters, Memoirs of a Wanderer, Personal Reflections

Dad, where ever you are right now…what am I saying… I know you're in Heaven now, watching out for us each and every day. Never a day goes by without each of us here on Earth remembering some of the good times we spent together. 23 years of my life spent with you is just too short [...]
