Our song started playing while I was clicking on the keyboard. The memories flowed like a river, every moment, every place, every word. I paused for a while and close my eyes to drown myself with the melody, with the memories, with love. Then it all occurred to me. I was so used with you by my side. Each day I felt you. I heard you. I touched you. Then you were gone. There was no you in my life anymore.

All I have is the pain and the misery. I fear about the loneliness, about the difficult battle with longing, with emptiness. I am afraid to remain this way forever. I am afraid to be alone.


You should have taught me how to deal with this before you go. You should have told me things to do. You should have prepared me for this. I am so hurt. I am so lonely.


Do you still remember our day? How could I spend it all by myself? To even think of it makes me feel more miserable. We used to share good moments together on that day. And now I am all alone with myself.



You are the only one who can relieve me of this misery. Please come home. I am waiting. Let us give it another chance.


Please.


Our day is approaching. Let us spend it together.

The Course Starts

Today the course of which I am the superviosr started. I had 15 participants. There was no one from Myanmar, 4 paying participants from Thailand and one from Kenya. This afternoon, I gave them the briefing and it turned out to be wonderful. Though there were those who could not communicate well with English, it should not deter them in fully participating in every session. When I was one of the particpants back in 2004, I felt the difficulty of having them as co-participants. It is as if asking them why were they here in the first place. Now that I am the supervisor, I see it in different perspectives. Language is important but should not be a barrier to communication. I told them if they could not say it, then write down. If they could not put it on papers, then make use of sign language. If still it is not possible, then use facial expressions. The thingi would like to get across at is that we have to find ways and means to express ourselves. In our first session this afternoo, I enc...

Moment

Stupid! That was how my mathematics teacher called me once during my senior year in high school. I was in front of the class, on the board, having answered incorrectly a math problem he said was easy. Stunned and stupefied, I could not remember how long have I stood there. I thought my legs kept me from moving, when so many eyes were upon me, I was enveloped with embarrassment and numbness. After the class, I declined to have my lunch, afraid that my classmates would poke fun at me. And yes they did, behind me (which i would learn later). That was the turning point of my life with mathematics. I really could not blame my teacher. Mathematics was something I detest then, and it was my waterloo. But that unfortunate incident, it dawned upon me that I better put myself together and redeem myself. Not to prove to my teacher that I am what he thinks I am, I embarked on a journey. And this I did with mathematics as company. Years later, I earned my degree in mathematics. When it came to my t...

Discovery

The more I study the more I realize how much I do not know. The more I learn the more I become aware of my ignorance.
