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 [...]

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 [...]
Disturb Us, O Lord!
Posted in Prayers on March 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
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 life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to [...]
Being Positive

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

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.

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 much, I [...]
Guardian Angel
Posted in My Poems on March 26, 2007 | 4 Comments »
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 were spoken,
but my tired soul feels an overwhelming [...]
My Quiet Hour
Posted in My Poems on March 26, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
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 make a brand [...]
INVICTUS (by William Ernest Henley)

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. [...]
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,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare [...]
