Simple reminders

Everyday, we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed out or sad. You are  giving something outside yourself power over your happiness when you indulge the negative emotions . You can choose to not let little things to upset you. Life is too short to be bitter.

Embrace the struggle

Life is way too short to spend another day at war with yourself. Embrace the struggle. The storm would pass

My name is not Cecil

My name is not Cecil
I do not have the luxury of a name or a fancy hashtag to morn my loss
I am seldom seen but often misunderstood
I am perfected by nature but destroyed by man

My name is not Cecil
But like him, I want nothing to do with you
I do not know you nor you know me
But yet you come to my home and brand me a "monster"
Out of misunderstanding and fear

My name is not Cecil
I am not even someone's trophy
I am murdered for nothing but the ignorant wrath of a man

My name is not Cecil
But like him, I have the right to live

My name is NOT Cecil
I am an old Tiger Shark and this is my planet too

The least honourable form of war on the weak

Only after the last tree tree has been cut down

Only after the last river has been poisoned

Only after the last fish has been caught

Only then you will find that money cannot be eaten

My Way or the highway

Was listening to my ipod during my routine morning exercise and this song was on the shuffle.



To those who have difficult partner, you have to learn to get up from the table when love is no longer served.  Battle is not yours in the first place. Never was. Why be burdened by it? Remove the bully from your heart and burn the memories alongside too.You will be much happier.

Obligation to pay debt

Debt is a burdensome obligation. Prophet (PBUH) had taught us that, even for martyr, his debt would remain as ceaseless liability. “All the wrongs of a martyr are forgiven except his debt” (Muslim – Riyadussaliheen – Book 12, Hadith 1312)

Wide angle UW photography

 

I am getting more comfortable with UW photography. I now venture into the world of wide-angle photography. I still need more practice. With my equipment, I still have a long way to perfecting my shots.
