Video: Who Am I?

Never let the way people think what you should be like stop you from living the only life you are given. This boy has been waiting to write an apology the a self he previously thought he hated. It must be hard to live with the person that you are born to be like and struggle to be a person you want to be. Have a pleasant day. It's Thursday. Almost weekend. Can you smell it already?

I Need A New Baby

Today, finally dragged my (and my son's) butt to the National Registration Department to get my younger son's IC done.

For some of us who are exposed to the Internet every single day, looking at reality and pictures that tells us about these people, continues to be shocking. Some parts of the world are untouched by mankind and...that...is amazing. Apart from learning about this particular tribe through the article, I also formed another opinion, which is the fact that when you are a mother, you are a mother forever. Just like how the son finally trekked his way into the Amazon jungle to find his mom, he just knew he had found her just by looking at her right in the eyes. You will just know. Anyway, my legs are absolutely aching right now because I have been standing at my table (my manually converted standing table) for
