A sad day at church
Hi, blog. How are you? Missed me?So random, right? Nah! I just need to let something out, as it is too heavy today. The church announcement feels so heavy. My tears fell before our pastor finished reading his letter. It’s so much that my heart feels so sad knowing that another person is leaving. And I’m wondering, why am I crying? We’re not that close; a few simple hellos and how are you at church on Sundays are normal. But, why do I shed tears like this? I looked around, and sadness was so evident on people’s faces. So our pastor for 16+ years announced his resignation at church after…

April Fools’ Day
The first of April will no longer be an April Fools’ Day, for us, at least. I think there are no other blog titles that can suffice for what I will share this time; so be it. I am also not sure if my readers (if any) have already found this blog. The previous domain has expired, and I haven’t announced in my socials that I have a new domain. I guess it’s safe to write our story here. Yes, it was 7 months later. Am I okay? Have we moved on? No, we’re not okay. No, we haven’t moved on. I’m not even sure if I can finish this,…

Small talk and awkwardness
Small talk, casual conversations. The… ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ ‘I’m good. You?’ ‘Yeah, feeling great too!’ or ‘Not that great…’ And then, awkward silence. Have you been in the same boat? The awkwardness. Think a hundred times before you utter a single word or a nonsensical question to break the silence. You sometimes wait for the other party to talk or keep silent until one leaves the area. Haha I thought I was weird. That it was just me who was like this. But I’m not. I saw a lot of people like this, too! Yey. haha I remember being branded as a snob because I didn’t say ‘Hi!’…

Countertop Blog (aka blog update 2023)
Hey, there! Just a quick blog update. If you’ve been following my old blog or my social media accounts (homebound mom), you must have been wondering. “Is Homebound Mom hacked?” “Why is her domain name different?” “Is this the same person?” “We need an explanation!”As if someone cares. haha Not sure if there are still people visiting my old domain name, ‘homebnd.com’, which now houses press releases and random stuff. No. I am not hacked. New domain, rebrand? Simply because the name, Homebound Mom, doesn’t resonate with me anymore. A lot has happened in the past few months, yes, I will spill some tea here. Maybe tomorrow, next week, or…

Dejection
You came unexpectedly, I felt nothing but average. Teased each other, you erased my ennui. How fast time has been, I felt something, denial came in. Told myself you are a mediocre and I’m just enjoying. But see, you are diligent, entrusted your past to me Promised you’ll wait and we’ll live happily. Immersed myself with your phrases but it turned out as eddy. At work you failed, I understand. How come it is me you dumped? You said we’re not meant to be. Well it seemed that you used me! Then I recognized, bitter, I was hurt and cried. Hope you will realize that someone fell…
