How Happy Your Grandma Was

How Happy Your Grandma Was

I have decided to start penning down the things that I enjoy doing. This will be the list I will revisit frequently.

They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them.

Friends are essentially different from acquaintances. Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Love is Kind

So I went jogging and insisted on continuing even when the heavens gave me clue that it'll pour anytime soon. It rained and I was drenched. Since it was getting late, I had to walked on by to get home. While I was at the traffic junction, a contruction worker sheltered me with his umbrella for a short distance.
