We have been friends for quite a long time now. The day we met was still playing vividly in my memory. We were introduced as newbies in the college. We were both new instructors. And having started at the same time, we held on to each other for support.

Guess, none of us have thought that it would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. We have not even thought we would become friends (hehehe). What with a world of differences between us! You like literature (and you teach English) and I like math. What a pair!

Yet, our world collided with our differences. Somehow those differences were bridged by the meaning of their commonalities.

We often have lengthy discussion over issues. We would take on different sides. Yet, we respect each other for that. Between us would be an ocean of brainwashing, brainstorming and even intellectual bashing. Still, at the end, friendship would prevail. The product are wealth of ideas and understanding for the two of us.

As being the older one, you always tend to tolerate my childishness, my temperament, my angst. And I appreciate you for that. No one knows my volatile side other than you are. You hold the key to the deepest recesses of my soul. You know how I feel, and you relate well with how I feel. You keep me company when I need someone to be there. In my ups and downs, you were there to share my joy in victory and comfort me in my defeat.

Life has meaning with friends. And my life has meaning with you. There may be things you are and there are things I am, but friendship compliments our differences.

You are now embarking on a greater challenge in your life. You deserve whatever reward or recognition that comes along your way. You have worked amazingly hard for those and recognition seems long overdue.


I would always be with you in all your endeavors.
If life seems to take on an unexpected path, I will take it with you.
If the world seems harsh and heavy, I will carry it with you.
If after everything, life still seems to ignore you,
just look around you
and be comforted knowing
that you have someone beside you.


Happy Birthday, friend!

There are so many things about life that we need to know. So many things to take notice of, so many things to explore and discover. Ahh, there is just so much around. All we need is to take a look and be part of it. Life is amazing. There may be moments of dread, of misery, of difficulties. Yet, undeniably, there are moments to be happy about, to be grateful, to treasure. I am a product of that balance. And with it I look at my life as something unbelievably amazing. These pages will tell you why. Enter my world. And the world is a place where we can discover what life really is. Welcome.

Panic

Today I felt so nervous. Only a week left and the regular course is on. Since assuming the post of course supervisor, I know I have been doing my best. But how good is my best? After preparing the course outline and successfully presented it to consultants and colleagues, I embarked on gathering the details of how the course will proceed. I kept constantly busy surfing the net for new ideas. Actually I fished a lot. There were so many things going on around the world. I would be very glad to share them with the participants. My notes, I think I have prepared my best notes. In fact, as I told Mr. Deva, the head of the training programme, that I intend to publish my materials in the future. So, how can I safeguard my lectures? Well, simply claim that it is copyrighted. That so! It took so much time writing a piece of the lecture. That's why, when I was looking at them after printing, I would tell myself that it is like writing an article for publication. I really did so much for a le...
