Do you know someone with a truly hearty, resonant, infectious laugh? The kind that makes you want to laugh just by hearing it? I have such a friend. And his name is Kenneth Li. And it’s not just his laughter. Even his voice ‘smiles’, and I swear, you can hear it even when you talk […]

The Way He Loves Me
One night 10 years ago, I was unable to fall asleep. After tossing and turning a while, I started thinking of the different portraits I’ve seen of Jesus. Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Jesus knocking on the door with no knob. Jesus praying at Gethsemene. Then, quite conversationally, I silently thought, “Lord, do you know […]
It was lost, but now is found
Photo of my ‘newly-found’ passport…upon Mel’s request :P Yes, I found my ‘houdini’ passport! This morning. In the rental car I drove to Cornell. Yesterday, the guy at Budget had helped me look but said he didn’t see it. I thought I’d give it one last shot in person this morning (hoping that the car […]
C'est la vie
Has there been a spate of bad luck running around? I think I may have the (mis)fortune of encountering it, cos I think I may have lost my passport. The timing couldn’t have been better, cos I am supposed to go to L.A. to see my Grandma next Monday. Now we’ll have to wait and […]
Back in the City
Back in T.O. Border crossing was smooth this time (doesn’t anybody want to come to Canada? :P), but traffic into Toronto was horrendous due to CNE and the Air Show. *sigh* Still more driving later as I am going to airport with Melissa to fetch Li Ning & Jing Jing. Meanwhile, I think a nap […]
Learning to Receive
During today’s homily, Father said something that stirred me. “If you think that your prayer is the way to connect to God, you will not experience Him. If you think that your goodness is a matter of will-power, self-discipline and effort, you will not experience Him.” This stirred me because I had received this same […]
Downpour, Shopping, & Stolen Cows
What a day it was to be driving yesterday! Traffic was backed up at the Canada/U.S. border such that we waited nearly 2 hours in line. Then, drizzle became downpour as we were on the I-90. Visibility was poor, but fortunately we all arrived safely and happily in Ithaca by 2:45p.m. A cheerful Zibin brought […]
Road Trip!
The house has been buzzing about it all week! The House of OPL1204C a.k.a. “The Sorority” (*pained look at Edmund*) is going to Ithaca this weekend! Oh, our ‘honorary member’, Mr Poon, is also joining us so it just won’t be three girls and a “monkey” (very cute one) in Ithaca. Will try to update […]
Fighting to Love
Out of the blue, yesterday afternoon around 4p.m., I suddenly thought of John. More specifically, I thought of the way he’d call me when he’s excited about something. That eager note in his voice. That impatient gleam in his eye. And the affectionate way he’d drag me by the shoulders to wherever it was he […]
Happy Teachers' Day!
Shi Qi reminded me that it was Teachers’ Day today. :) And I just thought I’d wish all my teachers a Happy Teachers’ Day. My teachers come from all walks of life and are of many different ages. Seriously. I even suspect that some of them don’t realize that I’ve been learning from them *grin*. […]
