The first day

Today was the first day that I took my daughter to the daycare and left her there. Leaving the major piece of your heart and the consequent sadness on her side is without the doubt the hardest part. It is a major milestone in her life now that she starts her social life ON HER OWN and starts to interact with other people. At the same time, she starts to learn a new language (among others) - another step in her evolution.

Man how time flies!

If only I could freeze the time to this moment...

She is growing up by minutes and I am getting older...and that is kind of sad but unfortunately, (and I hate to sound so typical) that's life.

5 years again!

Five years past the day that I finished at CTH -that day!- and yet I find myself at CTH again by pure coincidence. Good thing that little by little, not only I don't have some of those nostalgic feelings but also I feel quite happy to have moved on or rather moved 'out'.

One should always look forward, looking back, however useful every once in a while, only reduces the pace but it is not constructive.

Such a strange feeling

Almost ten years ago, I was living in an otherwise empty student room with one window facing the hotel that I am staying in now. Since I did not have a computer at home, I used to come all the way to this hotel to use the Yahoo! messenger on the PC in the lobby of the hotel to chat with one special one for hours past midnight.

Ahh...those days...those early days that surprisingly do not seem so far away now...if I only knew what I know now...

1. According to Donnie Brasco (played by Johnny Depp): "Foreget about it" is like, if you agree with some one, you know, like "Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass, forget about it." But then, if you disagree, like "A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it!" you know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like minga those peppers, "forget about it." But it's also like saying "Go to hell!" too. Like you know, "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker!" and Pauile says "Forget about it!" And then, sometimes it just means forget about it.
