As different as day and night. The hot and the cold. Yin and Yang. That’s Bugsey and me. She is the excitable, fiery one while I am the (normally) cool and unflappable one. Bugsey came into my life through Multiply, and my bloglife has never been the same. In my early Pre-Bugsey bloglife, I wasn’t [...]

The Beginning of My Beautiful Bloglife
Posted in Life Teaches Me on March 29, 2007 | 14 Comments »
Not too long ago, I discovered the joys of blogging. It started quite simply enough–I needed an easier way to share photos with family and friends. My sister, Evelyn, took tons of photos when she went to the Canada and the USA for a vacation in 2006. She was to meet our cousin Ying for [...]
Disturb Us, O Lord!

Disturb us, Lord, when We are too well pleased with ourselves, When our dreams have come true Because we have dreamed too little, When we arrived safely Because we sailed too close to the shore. Disturb us, Lord, when With the abundance of things we possess We have lost our thirst For the waters of [...]
Being Positive

Negativity is like a vortex that sucks everything into itself. I choose to stay positive, the way I normally am. –sally lo–
Seeing the Good

I find that I am too positive not to see the good in the bad, too happy to stay angry for long, and too blessed not to appreciate the little things in life that others take for granted. –sally lo–

Crossposted from my Multiply blog, November 3, 2006 I have to remind myself not to gripe too much about work, whether too little or too much. I had already downloaded the voice files that I have to transcribe for the day as early as 5:30 a.m.(I am a home-based medical transcriptionist) , and since it wasn’t too [...]
Guardian Angel

In my dreams you came, cloaked in radiant hues of shimmering light. Down from heaven to my humble abode that bears witness to my daily toils. Celestial being of unspeakable beauty, What tidings, my heart wonders, do you bring tonight? You smiled warmly, my Angel, gazing at me with eyes of the brightest blue. No words [...]
My Quiet Hour

Night falls on the eastern hill, the day’s warm wind turns to cool everning breeze Moonlight kisses the windowsill of my own quiet place where my mind lays at ease. Here I sit in my little room. Same time each night with a quiet, hopeful heart, surrendering despair and gloom, knowing that tomorrow I’ll [...]

OUT of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and [...]
DESIDERATA (by Max Ehrmann)

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, [...]
