Zibin insisted I post a pic of my dinner tonight, so here it is. :| Ha ha…ah well…maybe it’s his way of encouraging me to eat…or to cook proper meals for myself again. These are giant scallops I got from St. Lawrence Market yesterday afternoon. Minimal work required, and they were delicious. Ended up only […]

Travelogue III: Hope
There is an intimate relationship between joy and hope. While optimism makes us live as if someday soon things will go better for us, hope frees us from the need to predict the future and allows us to live in the present, with the deep trust that God will never leave us alone but will […]
Travelogue II: Clouds & Sun
If not for the sun, we would not see the clouds. Yet, when skies are overcast, our vision is limited to the clouds that cover the sky and the gloom and darkness. We forget that the sun is nevertheless shining beyond the clouds, and that indeed, without the sun’s illumination, we would not even be […]
Travelogue
Reflections inspired by Nouwen’s Here and Now. Surprised by Joy Am I open to being surprised by joy? Am I so bogged down by the unalterable past and the unpredictable future that I am blind and deaf to joy in the present? I would miss out on all the beauty that God is trying to […]
To Myself
Dearest Self, You are constantly badgered by the past and anxious about the future. Faith is not faith unless it trusts, and trust can be practiced by learning to live in the Here and Now. Every episode has a purpose, and know that even in the darkest hours, God is with you and loving you. […]

I’d never particularly liked or disliked rain before…although I have some fond memories of super rainy days in secondary school days…such as the time my […]
Peace
I arrived someplace today. And when I did, I found an unexpected gift. Peace. Once again, God showed me that His ways are more wondrous and mysterious than I could ever imagine…and that when He gives, He is truly extravagant! The road goes on, but there is a spring in my step that hadn’t been […]
"It's all YOUR fault"
12:50p.m. My handphone rings. I pick it up. “I can’t sleep. So you must talk to make me sleepy.” I begin to speak, but get interrupted. “And can you don’t be too interesting? For once in your life, can you try to be boring? Cos I want to sleep.” I laugh. “How can you laugh? […]
To Mom, With Love
Mom with her Mother’s Day Gift from all four of us Dearest Mom, There is nothing I could say, or do, or give you that could begin to express the depth of my gratitude. In my infancy, you were my world. In my childhood, you were my guardian angel and my heroine. In my adolescence, […]
