Just Another Sunny Day
I look outside from my 6th floor office window. Out there I can see a sunny blue sky, blocky office buildings and grey-white jetliners landing at the nearby airport. I can almost feel the warmth outside. I remember the warmth, that I felt while sitting with coworkers outside all of us enjoying a delicious, spicy…

Bruised and Sore
Uff! I’m bruised and tired from yesterday’s taekwondo session. The warmup consisted of a lot of running, jumping jacks, pushups, sit ups, and leg raisers. At the end I wanted to pass out from panting exhaustion on the floor. A great workout, followed by practice on kicking and hand motions. There is so much for…

Coping with Disappointment
Disappointments turn up everyday. Sometimes it can be personal like a lost love, a deathly sick relative, a bad business decision or any kind of personal loss. If you run out personal worries, the newspaper will happily provide more: war, crime, job losses, a bad economy, overzealous governments, et cetera ad nauseum. At times it…

Good Friday
Today is Good Friday. So while a statuary holiday in Canada, I’m not on holiday today. Rather I have much to do, so I’ll keep this post short. I wish everyone a great Good Friday and a happy Easter. A reminder that God loved you so much He sent His only Son to die (in…

Drained
I just read Marika’s blog on hunger. And I felt compelled to blog something in return. But today I draw a blank. Yesterday drained the life and will out of me. Not complaining, since it was all my invention and doing. Still the fact remains, I feel drained and without will. And life feels greyer…

Shifting Sands and Schedules
I’m blogging this entry fairly late in the day today. I will enjoy sleeping longer and missing being in the office before the sunrises. At least I will enjoy these guilty pleasures for the next couple of weeks. Hence my blogging schedule will be thrown out of whack. But I don’t mind the extra sleep. …

It is On My Desk
No, I’m not mocking Marika’s blog name. Rather this morning I am tired and uncreative. At this point, the creative artist starts stealing ideas from more inspired artists. Over the course of my university career, I learned the elegant art of organization. The results from just a little effort and some smart thinking goes a…

Grey Clouds, Sunny Outlook
I get into the office really early in the morning. These past fews I normally got greeted with a dark sky and street lights. Each day the sunrise earlier. But each day the sun would rise, brilliant lines of yellow, orange, red and pink would form across the skyline. In the distance the CN tower,…

An Encore
I didn’t update my blog yesterday. Life turned out busier than I could imagine. I am still catching up on things. I took on so many tasks. I have a trip to plan. Writing and reading just piles up around me. I’m not sure in which direction I should concentrate my efforts. My efforts to…

Sleepless in Toronto
It is too early to blog this morning. I’m sitting in at work in an empty office space. Alone, just a few lights and mostly in the dark. Still dark outside with some street lights, the slow moving lights of communter’s car and random distant lights of various colours. The sun still has an hour…
