I Learned About Marriage During The Marathon

I was deep in my thoughts at 17th kilometer of the full marathon in Taipei. Runners were crossing the bridge. I was looking at the vastness of the structure.

We had a small chat and then … Continue reading I Learned About Marriage During The Marathon →

You Get To Choose The Person You Want To Be

I visited National University for a job-related meeting. It was a surprise meeting but by the grace of God, the meeting went well.

Nanay Susan And The Man Who Lived Up To His Name

If I slept less than that, my social skill is enough only for probably five conversations, one meeting for an hour, and I am done for the day. I tried to sleep but it eluded me.
