V-day

I was sharing the table with **** this morning. Well I do not know how it happened exactly, but after some good minutes of discussing about discipline problems at school, we found ourselves engaged in this conversation about the Valentine's Day. He seemed to be holding a pretty conservative stance. Though I appeared to be nodding my head in agreement, I was, in fact, quite supportive of the idea of celebrating the Valentine's Day. I have to admit that I like the Valentine's Day, partly because it is my birthday, yeah, but there is much more to it than that. Believe it or not, I could feel love when I happen to see people strolling around with happy expression on their faces. I could feel love, really, in the air.

On that day every year, with every corner I turn to, I see people holding flowers or gifts symbolic of their love. I am not quite interested in those flowers and gifts, though. What I have always been mesmerized by is, nonetheless, the emotions of love that seem to magically spring into life. If there is something as magical, this should be it! And I think I am one of the luckiest! Most people spend their time with only their boyfriend or girlfriend, but as for me, I am warmed at heart by the presence of my family, friends and relatives. :-D

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa...

Compassion

This is something—not about me, of course, but about my elder bro. For your information, I am not being involved in the defamation process or anything. It’s basically about his good deed which is really moving, or at least I think it is to me. It was just one of his typical days. Woke up. Washed up. Got dressed. Headed for work. But what marked that day different was what greeted his eyes on his way home and made his heart sore. He witnessed a very old Grandma about 80 in her dirt-covered rags, with a walking stick, trudging with heavy footsteps. Honestly I really have no idea what kind of heart is beating there under his ribs! He must be one of the rare, soft-hearted gentlemen! To my disbelief—and to yours too, he swiveled the car around to the other side of the street, stopped the car and then approached the Grandma. Guess what he did after that? Believe it or not, my bro treated her to a meal in one of the eating places nearby and chatted with her for quite some time. Just imagine h...
