When the wrong one loves you right
Often times, I am too focused on what I want and don’t want in a man — he has to be tall, handsome, intelligent, financially sound, romantic, funny, non-smoker, non-drinker, health-conscious — and what have you, everything tangible, materialistic and physical about him. Oh, believe me, the list runs longer than The Great Wall of [...]

Who will he choose? For the longest time, Uthman Huzir, or Uth, a bookstore associate finds it difficult to make his choice when it comes to the love of his life. Should he choose The Love or The Other Girl or The Old Flame? This dilemma suffocates him and is turning his life around totally 360°. [...]

Kepada Mu Kekasih
The thunderstorm has died. The rain has stopped. The howling wind has lost its voice. There is no wrath or fury anymore. I’m feeling so peaceful and serene inside of me. There’s a certain kind of love, joy and happiness that I’m feeling that I cannot describe. I’m just so happy…
As I totally surrender my heart and [...]
Coming to My Senses
In all my messed up state of emotion, I forget there is such thing as “rebound”. Yup, what happened in my life for the last four weeks was a devastating result of this “I hate it but it’s true” thingy called “rebound”.
After analyzing the whole situation and turning it upside down, and looking at [...]
It’s a small world afterall
I began to see how much common ground Orang Bulan and I have.
Even our birthdays are just one day apart. Mine is on November 6, and his is on November 5.
We’re connected in a way, as his best friend is my sister in law’s best friend’s brother, and Orang Bulan’s family lives in the [...]
I’m not babysitting
God was playing tricks on me again.
I asked God for love, and God sent me Orang Bulan, who’s 12 years younger than me. I found out about his age today.
I was gnashing my teeth, angry at God. I want a mature man because I don’t want to be babysitting immature boys.
Besides, logically, what [...]
Confessions of a Latte Activist
I confess. I am a Latte Activist. That means, I care enough to want to make a difference, but I am not willing to take an effective action that would create results.
I would rather have someone else take the lead and drive the change. Then I would support from afar and pray that things [...]
Right vs. Wrong
I confess. I like to be right. Sometimes, my desire to be right brings me a lot pain. This is especially so when it comes to men, and my man nonetheless.
I have an ideal of the man who’s right for me. He has the right look, height, level of intellect, personality, academic and social [...]
Working like a dog?
Just thinking aloud, when people say they are “working like a dog” what do they really mean?
Really, I have never seen a hardworking dog in my entire life! Have you?
If you mean hardworking, perhaps working like a cow is more like it?
In any case, I’d rather work like a dog, because dogs [...]
Truth, like surgery, may hurt
As prominent writer on modern Chinese and Asian subjects, Han Suyin, who is author of the novels, “A Many-Splendoured Thing” (which was made into the 1955 movie “Love Is a Many Splendored Thing”), “Till Morning Comes”, “The Enchantress”, “Four Faces”, and “The Mountain is Young”, puts it, “Truth, like surgery, may hurt, but it cures.”
The [...]
Only man can know the pain
I couldn’t sleep last night after waking up from a very bad dream – a nightmare about The Ex-Hubby. In the nightmare, The Ex-Hubby was a ogre that was going to ravage me, and then an angel came in the nick of time to rescue me from his monstrosity.
When everything didn’t work to make me [...]

Sudden Flash Back. I think I’m getting my memory back…
The Ex-Hubby is aerophobic. Besides being hydrophobic and agrophobic.
There was one time we were flying from San Jose to Los Angeles. Must be in September 1993, before we got married. While flying over the waters of Santa Ana, we hit an air pocket, it dropped almost [...]
I remembered him
At the other end of the room, I saw him. I saw his face. Nothing has changed. I remembered him.
I remembered walking hand in hand with him in the park by that lake. I remembered the love that grew in our hearts. I remembered that voice which made sweet promises of happy ever after. I [...]
It’s never over till the fat lady sings
Ever heard that popular adage, “it’s never over till the fat lady sings”? Coined by a sportswriter and broadcaster Dan Cook, it was a form of self-assurance (or in denial) in the face of long odd, often muttered when things look grim.
That reminds me of that day two years ago when everything looked a little [...]
