To You

 :grandmas


/1/

Little did I know grandma

that today the sun was burning my skin till red

And just this morning I saw her enjoying the meal in peace. 

I joined her 

I pulled the chair with impatience

but it would never distract her from the joy

 

This sunny day made the flowers bloom in her eyes

She was reborn from a restful night and I envy her

The motionless ocean danced on her skin,

Stories in odor unfolded: 

The top notes whispered, "It was jasmin with its tiny petals

dancing equinoctially in her bedroom."

Her magical smile turned into cloves

From her teacup, she slowly sipped the sweetness 

and embraced her eighty-first luck 


Then she wondered,

"Do you know how to mend a heart?"


She had to let her soul, my mother's father, go

She did not complain

From her voice, wisdom shared 

With a hint of betel leaf, life offered her respect.

Yesterday was rainy and bathed me wet

What about tomorrow, will it be cloudy

and mute all the colors like the TV shows in the '50s

Or windy and brush my tangled hair

before I could wash my hair which grows greasy?

Writing As A Love Language

:Vin Elk, Ars Magna, & Lady Loved* Lately, I have enjoyed writing a lot. Writing worked on me the way Dumbledore did while he was in Penseive, so he could experience his memories through other perspectives. He uses it to siphon the excess thoughts from his mind, pour them into the basin, and examine them at leisure. Writing has helped me to untangle my mind, examine what to deliver, communicate the messages verbally and non-verbally, and reflect on how this writing will evoke certain emotions or moods. Writing becomes the mirror that provides insight into who I am, what I desire, what I experience, what I value, and what I am not into. Writing becomes the language that deliberates my inner peace. On another level, writing could answer the quest that dwells in my mind.  I am glad to share what is significant for me right now. Being loved by the right person and people is heaven, and so is being respected, prioritized, supported, desired, and understood. The right person and peop...

The Essence of Learning New Things Every Day

Everyone basically has opportunities to learn something new every day. They learn to get a new skill or to let go of what doesn't belong to them. The cycle comes and goes. Learning something new is not only a shortcut to improve one's life, but also to make one's meaningful, and their presence could make the simplest form of change.  I was once asked about the skills I have other than teaching. I confidently responded to them that I have enough skills in writing, photography, and cooking. While doing my responsibilities in the class, I value the three areas will be beneficial for me in professionalism. I have unlimited resources to access them if one day, I could only choose one area to support me for a living.  As an individual who has to make a move every day, I see learning as a potential way that brings us to become more selfless. We can learn new things every day as long as we have the courage and willingness to be a beginner. A beginner carries honesty since they have...

A One Year-Old Bonding

I was having a brief and light conversation with my boyfriend about how to create more memorable stories, create sparks in our relationship, and make better plans for our future. What I deeply appreciate about him is that he never ceases making plans for us as if he knows exactly where we're going, the potential issues we are going to face, how to cope with hard conversations, and many more. Reassurance, emotional support, and acts of service speak louder than just words. In lieu of the conversation, we had opposite points of view on how we would build healthy relationships and bondings in marriage while each of us is trying our best to achieve our goals. In addition, I am aware of his endeavors to listen more, to be more transparent in making decisions, to welcome discussions, to work collaboratively, and to articulate what we feel and what we think about assertively. We want to find the best route that could accommodate our needs in particular. There was a funny moment when I sud...
