This blog chronicles my travel in
different parts of the world, my experiences as a teacher in three countries,
and my thoughts on various issues specially politics and social inequalities.
This site also symbolizes death and
rebirth of the different crossroads of my life. When I was told that I had a
cancer and I might die during the surgery, I had no choice but to utter a
complete surrender. However, the road to recovery after that ordeal was mine to
define. I started blogging my journey in 2007 which mostly revolved around
doctor visits and difficult stages of recovery.
Thereafter, my writing continues
sharing my experiences as a teacher, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and
ultimately, as a wife. Writing also followed me when I decided to teach in
Indonesia and travel to different places and that includes the United States
which is currently my home now.
I also write about my musings on different
topics which at times gleaned different inspirations on how to deal varied circumstances
in life. This is my home, the reflection of my life, my faith, my struggles, and
my wanderings.
“Some
people arrive only when we reach a crossroads within ourselves, when decisions
have to be made, when change is inevitable, but we lack the courage to embrace
it. They touch a part of us so deeply that it changes the entire direction of
our life, and that exhilarating feeling of love we feel with them, is enough to
guide us and give us the strength to take the right road, even if it’s on our
own.” –Mimi Novic, Your Light is the Key
*When I started writing, my site was named the 'Dreamer's Haven'. I have always thought of myself as a dreamer but I had no courage to put them in reality. It's only through words that I could express myself freely, thus, the name of my blog. I composed this poem in 2007 to elucidate deeply my thoughts.
DREAMER'S HAVEN
A
dreamer’s den...
Where
quandaries derelict
The
light of hope sprinkled
Perplexing
whiff in the air.
A
dreamer’s haven...
Where
sweetest songs are played
Where
magic dwells
Where
tears are veiled in haze
Where
sea of sorrows laugh
Where
perils lie dormant
The
scenes rain and shine.
This
is my garden of words
The
flower bells of my life
The
soul of my soul
The
spirit of my love
The
inexplicable terrain of my dreams.
Be
enthralled…
Be
enchanted…
Be
spellbound…
…with
the magic of my lexis.
