Ever since I watched Steve Martin’s Father of the Bride and saw Annie wear sneakers underneath her wedding gown, I had wanted to do the same. Yes, I know it’s not stylish or elegant, but hey, it’s comfortable! And besides, as long as the gown covers my feet, who cares what I’m wearing on my […]

Johnny
John called me earlier, just as I was getting into a studying groove. He’s always had perfect timing :P And of course I chose to speak with him… it’s been quite a while since our last chat. 1 hour and 10 minutes of wonderful conversation and laughter… talking about soccer, common friends, family, and reminiscing […]
Too cute to eat?
Yep, I like monkeys! I think they’re intelligent and mischievous and cute. Most zai monkey of all time – Sun Wukong! Cutest monkey – Monkey Boo. And now I think I’ve found a tasty one! Ha ha ha… and it’s waiting for another Monkey to come to Toronto and eat it!
Meditation
Meditation is a path. It’s a discipline. It isn’t a technique. A technique is something that we practise with the ego in order to achieve a desired result, and to be in control of the whole process.

A Beautiful Prayer
Dear Lord, Help me to spread your fragrance wherever I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of yours. Shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may […]

Meant for Me
Luke 6, 36-38 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put […]
Wholesome Food for the Soul
Something from Zibin’s blog that I loved: Anthony DeMello, a Jesuit spiritual writer from India, recounts a dialogue between a disciple and a master: D: “What can I do to make myself enlightened?” T: “As little as you can do to make the sun rise in the morning.” D: “Then of what use are the […]
Frosted & Melting
Snowflake clusters melting on my window As I was walking home from Yoga today it started snowing… and then it really began to come down. And it’s been snowing heavily for over 3 hours now which makes me very happy. But temperatures are supposed to rise above 0 overnight and the snow is supposed to […]
