Our Haven: Re-opened
Just realised that the last time I wrote was last year. While my wife has been using this platform to grumble about school and confinement (with some of her students actually leaving comments and messages), so many things have happened meanwhile that weren't chronicled, which really made the past year seemed transient.
Honestly, I still haven't entirely gotten over the bizarre episode of celebrating birth and mourning death within a month, but the close support that ensued had certainly helped our family to move on.
We've decided to re-open our haven and it all boils down to 1 motivating factor - we realised our lives could be so transparent before our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, our close friends and relatives and we didn't like that.
We didn't really like that notion of being superficial beings that don't have deep connections with anyone. We wish to share our thoughts, our joys, our frustrations and our disappointments to anyone who cares and wants to know more about us.
I recall vividly in the early days of this blog someone actually commented that we used this platform to exhibit our vocabulary and langauge skills. That was indeed laughable - how could anyone that knows us thinks of us this way? While we couldn't shape people's perceptions, we wish to reiterate that we didn't want to be pretentious at all.
So, do stay tuned to this humble e-abode of ours. We would love to look back on our days, and convinced ourselves that we had led fulfilling lives with no regrets. We hope you would too.
