Rockstar for a night The advent of these Android phones and the like has brought me so much closer to my favorite rockstars. It's as if time during the night should be spent on rocking instead of resting, sleeping. I can't stop myself from singing and the Shakira things and Michael Jackson's things were just so awesome to leave like that. I had to sing and emote with those people. And many more rockers I could jam with asynchronously. And it made this blog alive even just…

Through reflection Through our reflection in the mirror, we see what we look like, we know what to improve and know what to fix. When our hair is messy, we comb it. When our face is dirty, we wash it. When our collar is not set, we set it. All these we see when we look at ourselves in the mirror. Reflections are not only seen though through physical mirrors. We could also realize out mistakes and shortcomings when we get to observe how others are doing. Sometimes, our peers…

Reservations Do you know what a reservation is? It is the act of reserving some slot for something so you will be able to have a predetermined schedule either on a restaurant or anywhere else. It is also, according to dictionaries, an act of keeping back, withholding, or setting apart. And for this blog I am referring to the second definition. I have a lot of reservations. And before, I do not know the reason why I have a lot to set aside just for myself. But over the years,…

Discipline myself to discipline my children It has dawned on me that discipline I try to instill to my son is different from my own discipline which he follows more than what I tell him to do. I have heard of popular adages. If I want my children to be wide readers, I must be a wide reader myself. If I want them to be free of foul languages, I must be free from such as well. If I want them to be honest, I have to be honest as well. And that makes things challenging for the…

In whatever season, I am in love with mornings Waking up early in the morning... Feeling the breeze through my skin... Smelling the morning air... It's just... Mmmm... Mama says, daddy says, wake up! Wake up! In the very early morn. But those were decades ago. Now I am thankful, I am able, was able, to enjoy the early morning fragrance. Had they not done their best to raise me well before, I wouldn't have known the importance of waking up early and the bonus of feeling all…

Jealousy is not for me now I'm a dropout. I stopped attending classes midway during the past semester and I have not enrolled ever since. My mind was made up. I cannot be convinced otherwise as one of my colleagues tried his best to get me back to the university. What were my thoughts? I believe that I really felt like I have had enough time in the academe. Time for rest and should I wish to study, it will be in an informal way. Before, when I see graduation posts in post…

Why am I even writing I used to get failing marks for essays. As soon as I receive my essay paper, I was met with red marks all over. It significantly impacted my confidence on that aspect. I hated writing. I hated essays. I hated the red marks all over. And the worst, no one encouraged me during those times to keep trying. I only recently found a way to write without ever needing to be an expert. Our heart is enough that we can give out in an article. And it is best to not…

Devices talking back at me I was totally in love with my first ever netbook. Or should I say the only netbook I ever owned? It was a small version of the regular laptop. It was a convenient device I could carry any place I go. I loved it! Soooo much! The above is the picture of the device. It is now dirty and full of dirt since I just retrieved it and opened it for picturing. I was totally into it. And I would let any visitor to our house not leave without first trying out…

A ridiculous threat So someone's using someone else's photo and name to create a social media account. Preposterous! I think there are just a lot of good things that should be taught to the human race. It escapes my understanding to understand such fraudulent people! I guess we need to be taught to be proud of who and what we are and not use other people's identity for our malicious intents. If you forget what your mother or your teacher or any elder has taught you, you'd…

A not so early morning... Again. I think I'm going more offbeat these days. I wake up at not so early morning in the morning. I see the time and it's almost always 7 in the morning already. I have no qualms, really, since it's a non class week. Except that I don't feel right waking up late. And what about the coming weeks? I am always in love with the scene of sipping coffee in the early morning light or even as early as dawn or earlier at 4:30. It is therefore imperative…

Son lets me play Sudoku, and I extremely enjoyed the extreme level Despite my obvious effort to tolerate my son's ramblings, which he should have noticed, he still went on offering his suggestions, new learnings, and games. He asked if I wanted to play sudoku on his phone. At first I was reluctant to get his phone and play. But since Sudoku is way more interesting to me than Chess, I thought this will be fun. He will see how I answer and observe my enthusiasm for the game.…

A poem a day to keep misery away I ain't a lovely poet but am a poet anyway. So aim I could as long as I want to. Aim to write a poem a day, to keep the misery away. Just short ones would do. This isn't traditional poem but DIY, if you get what I mean. When life gets harder to express, we resort to poem and we tell ourselves it is poem, we won't be understood but we want to be understood yet we do not want to be directly chastised for it is poem. I think, that is one beauty…

I just want to My nonsensical blog. I just want to blog. I just want to express. There is no way I could express more than this. Yes, quite right, I am hopelessly in love. It may also be right to say I am a hopeless romantic but nah, I am not romantic at all. I get sick from too much sweets. I get annoyed by too many sugar. So I am just but a hopelessly in love girl with no one knows who. Seems no one reads what. Unless perhaps it will be promoted via social media, to…

Refreshed! Today, I will give myself a break and stop lamenting about getting up late. You know why? Because I slept well and I just woke up feeling wonderful and refreshed! I keep saying that I am in love with mornings but then it's okay not to wake up that very early at 4 or 5. And we are in this situation. We are sometimes not forced to wake up that early. The other day, I started drinking beer just so I could get rid of insomnia. And I do not know if it really did…

Retracing steps back to the past Sometimes, we just needed some reminding that we were once dreamers. Aspiring for this and that. Having dreams that could take as far into the moon. Wanting to go as near as the star Losing interest in things I once loved was somewhat debilitating. Why? I ask myself. Have I really lost it? I then think back about the past. When I was in elementary, in high school, in tertiary. In elementary I believe I have dreamed of becoming someone. In…

Did you want to know? When I wanted so bad to see you. When I wanted so bad to touch you. When I wanted so bad to hold you. Did you want to know? After all these years it's you I am thinking of. Did you want to know? I miss you even if I see you. Use When I long to see... When I long to hold... When I long to touch... When I long to hear you speak... I hear myself sigh, just because of you. I listen to my thoughts and I desperately want you. But you are supposed to not know.…
