Walking into that reunion, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Twenty-five years had passed since I last sat in that classroom, surrounded by friends who spoke a language I barely understood yet welcomed me anyway. Would they remember me? Had I left a mark? Why had I come at all? And yet, the moment I … Continue reading Reunion.2

Welcome to my life. I hope this small business … Continue reading Imagine

Almost a decade ago, I need to pay a hell of money to the cunning and greedy lawyer just to settle my divorce. I have to pay a lot of staycation when … Continue reading Expensive
Running notes
Several notes about my running today: Forgot to lace my shoes correctly, the shoes are supposed to be snug, not too tight and not too loose. A reminder: I do not need new running shoes! -sigh!- 😅 My smart watch started to mess up, I ran 5 km and it recorded 8 km; I ran … Continue reading Running notes
