I promised myself I wouldn't do this. But here I am. I've had a Love/Hate relationship with the HIMYM series and after the finalé I'm with the other fans screaming I want the last 9 years of my life back. I'm ashamed to admit the ending left a bitter taste in my mouth for the [...]
Category: I should be doing something else
Where to, Ahmad?
You have no drive. Although that may be the case, I have chosen to just be faithful to what I'm currently committed to. Just because you don't see results now, you don't know where to go, how to take your next steps, don't know exactly where you'll be in 5 years, and clarity hides it's [...]
Happily Transmitted Disease
When I went through really hard times in my life, the word 'Joy' or 'Happiness' was not a word I could speak. I would desperately turn to the pages in the Bible pouring over ANY sort of encouragement to lift my spirits. It's amazing, then, to know that the most positive book in the Bible [...]
My Heart’s Keeper: I Will, I Do
To My Heart's Keeper, When darkness shadows my door, And panic threatens my entire being, The One who stands strong for me holds me close and says 'Shh, I'm here, you don't need to be afraid anymore' The ugliest nails imprint Your loving palms, It's in these hole-y hands, I have found that I am [...]
Doing Oak-Kay
Hell fears a fighter! And if God is in the picture, He'll never let you give up. He will surely see you through to victory. It is this endurance that makes the enemy tired. Remember, a mushroom can spring up in a day, an oak takes more than fifty years to mature. Mushrooms don't last, [...]
No Touchy!
Fun Sumie Fact: Between the ages 11-18, I hated people touching me. This in fact got my mother genuinely worried as to the question of me procreating to give her grandchildren. In International Marketing III, I learned about this concept called The Circle of Proxemics. It basically tells you how everyone reacts differently to physical [...]
Lost+Confused=Stagnant
When I was in primary school, I had a longing to prove myself. If someone said, 'It couldn't be done', you can be sure I'd be the first on the monkey bars swinging backwards. I'd be the one on the swings trying to hit the horizontal limit. If someone said, "No one would dare go [...]
Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Room
No matter how filthy something gets, you can always clean it right up. God. Bruce Almighty. Studies show that creative people have a tendency to be messy. Guess I'm really creative then. Cleaning the house thoroughly and regularly is a healthy regiment. I don't know if I'm any different now but Between puberty and graduating from [...]
No, wait! I’m not ready yet!
Pistanthrophobia. I don't fear falling. I fear no one being there to catch me before I hit the ground. In 2003, I was learning to do a handstand. I mastered doing it against a wall very quickly but for obvious reasons I didn't have the guts to do it without wall support. As everyone knows, [...]
The Vow. Day 4.
The funniest thing about not having the voice to speak is people sometimes talk back to you in whispers or start using sign language back in conversation and I'm all like, Difficulty arises when all you know is 'Thank you' in sign language. Actually I wasn't even sure if I was doing it right. For [...]
