Dear Me, I know how hard it is to keep walking when the path ahead is foggy, when your feet feel heavy with waiting, and your heart aches with quiet wondering. But today, something happened. A dear friend confided in you. He’s been offered a door out. A new job, a better place, maybe even … Continue reading Tiramisu

Mid-week
What have you done for yourself this week? I haven't skipped a single work out day -yes it's still Wednesday- but hey! Midweek is the most crucial time to check on ourselves I installed a money tracker app, waaay cheaper than YNAB, and way more simpler.

Enough Is a Beautiful Place to Be. I am writing tonight mostly to remind myself to celebrate 'just enough'. This being enough is a blessing, and contentment with one life is far from stagnation. Lately, actually for most of my life, I hear many shouts for 'more'! More money, more recognition, more achievement, more power, … Continue reading Enough
Tears
What brings a tear of joy to your eye? Almost everything. You see I'm an ultimate cry baby. I cry when I see a cute puppy, I cry when I see a new born baby, I cry when I read good books, I cry when I watch good movies... Animation, Netflix movie, it doesn't really … Continue reading Tears
