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 […]
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 […]

To My Sweetheart on Valentine's Day
No need for roses. Nor candle-lit dinner. Nor wine. Nor music. Nor card. Nor gift. In hundreds of ways it’s loud and clear: You love me. And the little ways in which you announce your love everyday are infinitely more real than anything money can buy. I already have all I ever need or want […]
Happy Birthday, Mom!
For so long we’ve walked the path of life together You held me in your arms and protected me from all of life’s pain You held my little hand as I learned to walk and encouraged me to pick myself up when I fell Then I liked walking on my own… but you were always […]
