dear life,
we have all heard of the saying "home is where happiness lives", but guess we never truly feel it until we experience the opposite. home is really where happiness lives; no matter how big the house, no matter how good the facilities, as long as we have a roof over our head and love for life and the world in our hearts, we can just lay back, close our eyes, and enjoy taking in each and every breath. thank you life for giving me the chance to understand this. it came with a high price, but the good news is i took the message. thanks.

dear life,
today is September 11 anniversary, how many days have passed since those shocking moments, i am not sure. but one thing i am sure of: the world is no more the place it once was. even before those buildings were leveled to the ground, we faced challenges and clashes every now and then, but since then, we are living in a constant war, a war entitled against terror, a war in reality of beliefs, of ideologies, a war between the good guys and the bad. but really, who is the bad guy? who is the good guy? do politicians let us see what is really going on?!! today i just want to pray in silence for the guy whose deadly fall out of the building was made eternal in pictures, for the ones who were taken amidst the fire escapes, for those who burnt into ashes, for the firemen who lost their lives, for those in the hijacked airplanes, for .... if only the world was a more peaceful place!!!
