• Is this for real?A man who opens doorsA man who lets/requests that I go first? Is this for real?A man who tells me his thoughtsA man who shares his feelings? Is this for real?A man who is very masculine, butA man who appreciates style, quality and sense? Is he for real? -T~February 16, 2010

  • Loving you Is an easy and natural thing to do. It’s as if you are a part of me And into my soul you see. I remember the day we met, You were intriguing and yet, My thoughts were only on friendship Someone to share the beach with for a dip. Anything more, I didn’t think Was in the cards – until that drink…. My world changed forever. Then, when our ties seemed…

  • There was this person I once knew who used to worry about everything. She used to cry every night to sleep and wonder why it seemed that God really must hate her. When she became a free adult, she felt lost and confused about what she was meant to do in this world and then she found love. In that love, she found an identity that was suitable and what she needed at…

  • On January 9th, I was lucky enough to attend the wedding party of a former colleague and friend in Japan. We started working together in 2006 and I count him amongst my friends whom I miss from the days of KUIS. It was a small gathering, but close and quaint as we caught up with each other and could share in the joy of Scott & Noriko starting their life together. Truly, I…

  • In all my life, I’ve wanted to be as I am with you – Just me. In all my life, I’ve wanted to share as I do with you – Just me. In all my life, I’ve wanted to love as I’m loved by you as just me. -T~February 8, 2010

  • January was our long holiday between semesters, so I was off on the planes again. My family decided to meet in Hawaii this year for our first all-family vacation in years. It was a fantastic week spent together! After I left them, I headed to Malaysia for about a week with a stop in Kuala Lumpur and most of my time spent in Kuching, Sarawak on the Malaysian part of the Borneo island.…

  • Slowly, but surely, the catching up is happening. 😀 Christmas this year was a bit of a mix of emotions. Some personal stuff was going on and I was extremely homesick as it just doesn’t feel like Christmas when the weather is warm and the only Christmas cheer is that of commercialism – everything I hate about what Christmas has become. Being with family and those I love is what this holiday means…

  • A year ago I was starting an adventureA year ago I was buzzing with the unknownA year ago I was longing for what I was leaving behind Then, the year passed in a blurThe year passed with great perplexionThe year passed with the future always unsure Now, somehow the world is spinning a little slowerSomehow life here is a little less annoyingSomehow my reasons for being here are a little clearer To get…

  • Passion and comfort Excitement and stability Spontaneity and consistency Newness and trust Balances to be made and found Bringing my ideals to the ground Of reality Is it too much to want it all? Is it too much to refuse to fall Victim to hope’s demise? Surely there must be a compromise…. -T ~January 20, 2010
