Telebabad

Friday, November 10th, 2006

Alwin has a new hobby - telebabad. The other afternoon, he was in my room with the telephone and his school annual and he started calling up all his friends listed in the annual. It was so funny, he was asking where his friends were, he got phone numbers to places where they […]

One day at a time

Friday, October 27th, 2006

What does one do when one is too low? Perhaps the first most empowering thing to do is recognize where we are in the tide of emotions, and once known, take the appropriate action not to be swept away. The numbness of depression renders everything to a full stop - the future is just too […]

Where did the day go again?

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

I must have been really exhausted by the meeting - I’ve slept nearly 14 hours today, a sleep full of so many dreams. It was nearly 6PM when I woke up, and I was so hungry because I haven’t had breakfast and lunch. So I ate some rice and pakbet which was really good.

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

This afternoon, Alwin was so inspired because I kept his drawings and so he made a new one! Below is his drawing of the car dashboard, and he especially pointed out that it was right-hand drive automobile. He knew that there were such things when he went to Malaysia (we have […]

Two of Alwin’s drawings

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

These are some of Alwin’s drawings that I saved from being thrown into the trash. I found them in the bathroom! I don’t know what others think but I really love these drawings. These are his own visualizations - this means he didn’t copy anything but drew these based on what he’s learned about how […]
