Knitted In Time

Love…love…love… Pervasive and ubiquitous. Albeit it’s an impeccably wonderful topic to discuss, I always find myself having second thoughts about it. Not because I am sarcastic or vindictive, it’s just that love is a very lofty word. Past and present writers of nobility haven’t even managed to explain its true worth. So how am I supposed to give justice in scrutinizing such noble word? I am frightened that I may desecrate it and that my effort will be put in vain. But, I decided that I should try my best to write about it so that I could allow my heart to breathe again. Because I am now drowning with a magnificent emotion and I need to release it now or else I would embark in this life like a bomb. Any moment I could explode in midair and pieces of my body will plummet directly to hell’s pit. And that would be the end of all. Love. Some people restrain it. Others celebrate it. Few deny it. But the question is how do you know it? Affirmative, it is always present. From God’s ult...

“But no matter what you do that seed will grow into a peach. You may wish for an apple or an orange but you will get a peach.” This adage came from the movie, “Kungfu Panda” and it hit me directly to the face. As a human being equipped with the capacity to think and act, we have created an illusion of control. We believe that the newly washed black t-shirt dried because we put it directly to the sun’s warm rays. We think that the rose bloomed because we planted it. We acknowledge that the fish we cooked tasted perfectly because we marinated it overnight. We are happy because the person we chose to love loves us back. We have deceived ourselves that anything that happened to us, everything that manifested in our daily lives and all the things that existed are the mere result of what we want and have been under our constant manipulation. We have become the master manipulator of life. Thus, we have believed that everything beyond our control are accidents. On the contrary, THERE ARE N...

THE WAR IN HEAVEN HAS JUST BEGUN!!! One of the plays that was advertised by The PumpHouse Theatre was entitled, "Morningstar." When I saw it, I said to myself that it is a unique play that I have not heard of. This is the first time that this play was acted upon in a theatre. So, the curiousness heightened and I forced Ronald to watch it with me in June 2018. The story centres around the angels in heaven and their building issues with one another while their father was away. The timeline of the story started after earth was created and the Father has left heaven and nowhere to be found. The main setting of the play is Heaven and Eden.  Caveat: Spoilers Alert!!! If you have not watch this play... Please do not read this blog. I found this play unique and controversial in a sense that Lucifer was not portrayed as the devil. Although there is already a TV series that show that he could be good, there has not been any play that revolves around that stor...

Car Attack by Ryan Kelly ©World Press Photo 2018 Auckland Currently, I am involved in a lot of Nature Photography. I enjoy taking creative shots and getting the perfect photo that will make my soul jump for joy. I spent time appreciating the earth's beauty through looking at different photos in Instagram and Facebook. I admire photographers who are artistic and who can capture the best photo there is. I always visit museums and art galleries to get inspired from the works of other artists. Being so optimistic and ideal, this hobby of mine makes me happy and contented. It provides me a sense of belongingness with others' passion for arts and beauty. Luckily, I was able to win a double pass from Auckland Zoo to go and visit the World Press Photo Exhibition in Smith & Caughey's at Queen Street after I gave a comment in their Social Media Account. (Thank you very much Auckland Zoo. I did not expect I would win.) The experience I had was life-chang...

When Ticket Master announced Niall Horan is coming to Auckland, I was intrigued. I know that he is part of One Direction before but I was more of a Backstreet Boy Fan...age-related. But when his ticket was put on special I said I better buy it since Ronald and I like his song, "Slow Hands." 🎫 Weeks before his much awaited concert, I asked my co-worker to swap our shift so I can see his concert. Good thing enough, she said yes 🤠🤠🤠 Another preparation I did was to listen to his album, "Flicker." Due to his sound, I fell in love with all of his songs. He is actually really good. His music is soothing and upbeat. It decreases my stress level and it becomes my lullaby and my walkathon theme song. The anticipation to watch his concert grew and grew... The day arrived. After my morning shift, Ron and I went to Spark Arena. It is our first time to watch in that stadium. Ron got a bit weird because most of the people watching are ...
