Saturday Run

It feels so good to have a great morning jog after a working week of stress and fatigue. I’m much energized after swearing it all out. Feels like any excess fats and burdens on my body were shed instantly.

And it’s great to see many people at the park where I jog and the cafe where I packed some breakfast after the run, starting a brand new day early. Renews a sense of hope in me, I guess.

I hope I didn’t stink in Starbucks just now. Oops.

Have a great weekend.

Family photos at a workplaces

I came to realize why some people put family photos on their desk at work. It all started when there were two photos, one with myself and my daddy, the other with myself and my brother. Taken when I was about 8 years old.

I never wanted to put them away ever since they were on my desk.

It’s all because seeing these photos keeps me remembering about my family in the midst of a busy day at work. Especially my daddy, it reminds that he’s always in my heart even though he is no longer around.

Never fails to bring a smile to me. :)

Departures

A cliche but every single day that we live is indeed a blessing. For every day the people in our lives, be it our families, friends, co-workers, clients, who live - Let’s be grateful for that occurrence. Life isn’t easy to come by.

Maybe we will never know the meaning losing until we have lost it. While I was partying away on Christmas Eve, a friend of mine had already departed from this world. Never have I ever imagined of receiving such a shocking and upsetting piece of news on Christmas Day.

Engulfed in shock, devastation and confusion, I stood where I was, dialing numbers of my other friends impatiently. When I finally got through, I found it so hard to break the news. Each time I had to affirm that the news was true, my heart ached. How I wish I wasn’t speaking the truth.

Suddenly I’m so afraid of losing people in my life. Suddenly I miss my friends very greatly.

I wish I could have done something. I will give in my best because I know it’s all possible. I will go all out to protect my friends if I knew that they were in danger. Problems can be solved, we just need to think it right and then work them out.

Then it occurred to me that there are so many things that aren’t within our control and expectations. When things like that happen, it seems like we can only accept and move on.

Every relationship with anyone who matter ought to be taken seriously- With care, trust and authenticity. Let’s not take all the relationships we have for granted. There must be something that attracts people to become families and friends, and that’s what I call the affinity. Time to be thankful for this affinity.
