my dad.

I love my dad.

Today was the first time I've told my dad I loved him weeks, maybe even months. He claimed it was his early xmas present, but I felt he deserved this a long long time ago. My family has gone travelling, so it is just me and my dad currently..and during our temporary isolation from the rest of the family, I've noticed that I wish I could grow up to be half the man my father has become. His wisdom, patience and kindness has guided me through every storm and I wish I had listened to his guidance everytime it was offered. His existence in my life has made many dreams and goals, a reality..I know you'll never read this, but if you ever do, I just want to let you know that I love you Dad, and I have loved you every second for the past 23 years..

You are a pillar in my life...

simple joys in life

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the simplest things in life?

Its nice to watch the sunrise or sunset, or gaze at stars all night..but one thing I must admit is so simple but gets me everytime. A hug. It could be from anyone and it could be from someone dear to me..but it just seems to catch me off-guard everytime. It could change my day from a day I wish to forget, to a day that I will never forget. It lights my inner candles and I just glow....

I like walking outside when there is a gentle autumn breeze..seeing the trees sway seem to eleviate all stress and pressures in my daily life. Another simple joy...

I'm too easily amused..

family.love.

Family is the reason why we are together. WIthout my family, I could not stand on my own, fend for myself and probably would not understand the true meaning of love. They have stood beside me through all my rights and wrongs and would stand right beside me if I had to do it all again...They would sacrifice time, effort and above all, emotion for me, a simple human living among billions...
What have I done to deserve all of this? .....I will forever be in their debt and will give up whatever necessary in hopes they will understand I am part of this family as well...I am here to give.

soundtrack of my life..

I have a nice habit of associating songs with particular situations in my life, whether it'd be a crisis or moment of joy..Does it happen to you?

I remember the first time I discovered that I had feelings for my current gf, I was walking down the York Lanes toward the ttc and Elevator Love Letter (Stars) was on repeat in my mind..Everytime I hear that song, I'd glow from the memory of walking outside on a sunny afternoon, knowing that I just fell for this girl I met...

I think music plays a significant role in everyone's life all over the world. It's the universal language that brings millions and hopefully billions together..In the end, the memory binded with that song is yours and of course you can share it with others, but no one can take it from you..

I've decided to make a soundtrack of my life..

my first

Firsts...

Everyone has a first. First love, first heartbreak, first accident, first job...the list goes on. But what firsts do you keep in your memory?
My first passion in life appeared in middle school. I have realized that my passion in life is to make a difference. I helped a child who had reading disabilities, complete her first book. "I've finished my first book, I couldn't do it without you..when are we going to finish another one?" This overwhelming reward made me cry, inside and out, because I have never made a difference in someone's life, until now. Many years have passed and I met that child I once tutored again...she is starting her first year at the University of Toronto for linguistics. I am so proud of her achievements and I am honoured she was the kindling for my first passion in life.

What firsts do you keep locked away in your memory?
