Love, Loss, Liberation

I’m grieving the loss of Mila, the pup. That’s what Tanya named her—Mila. She now rests at the PFA Pet Cemetery. It was truly heartbreaking. We gave it everything we had, especially Tanya, who stayed up tirelessly nursing her. I hoped for Mila’s recovery and did my part without expecting a specific outcome. I chose to support Tanya and Mila because, something had to be done to save the pup! The outcome, however, was left entirely to a higher power. The memory of Mila’s first look still lingers in my mind. I can’t seem to let it go. Despite all our efforts, we couldn’t save her. This loss has led me to reflect deeply on human relationships. We often pour our energy, time, and love into the people we care about, only to feel hurt when they use us and move on once their needs are fulfilled. But maybe that’s a blessing in disguise. Who wants fake friends and family anyway?  Everyone has their own battles, and if we feel disappointed, it’s often because we expect something in return. Ma...

RIP Dawg

I woke up to bad news at 4:00 am, a message from Tanya. The dog we rescued had passed away. I called her, and she was in tears. Yesterday, Tanya had taken the dog to the vet for her second round of drips, and she seemed to get active a little bit. We were all so happy, seeing those positive changes. But later, the dog refused to eat or even drink water and passed away last night. I believe we did our best, especially Tanya. But it was simply her time to go. It’s heartbreaking.

Dawg!

Denzil is going back to the Netherlands tonight! So he called me (last night), to accompany him to IDC for breakfast! He wanted to satisfy his Masala Dosa and podi Idli cravings!  So we set out early, at  6:30ish as planned  7:45 to IDC. Andy joined us. We drank coffee, ate some amazing breakfast.  After we stepped out, our eyes fell upon this dawg! The pup was shivering.. and had this “I need help” “I’m cuter than them bitches” eyes. We really didn’t know what to do. People walking around at the park told us, it was abandoned and had difficulty to walk. Some people even asked us to “please do something, it needs help” Someone had abandoned the pup at the park maybe in hopes that someone will rescue her. “Compassionately heartless” quipped Denzil  I reached out to everyone I knew who had some experience with rescuing dogs! Tanya, who was pretending to sleep, ignored our calls, but we called her mom to “wake” her up. I spoke to her while Denzil sent a picture of ...

The juggler!

When life gave me a lemon, I made juice from it. I added some sugar and a pinch of salt. It was good while it lasted. Then life gave me an orange. I just ate it, it was sweet! It needed no add-ons. It nourished my soul. Now, life gives me all the citrus fruits. I don’t consume them anymore. I just toss them into the air and catch them. I’m the juggler!

Line 6 POD GO

Earlier last year, a student accidentally dropped her bottle of water on my guitar processor and it crashed. I couldn’t fix it. I missed the ease of plug and play. After much research I settled for the Line 6 POD GO!  I’m already mind blown about how quiet it is. All the patches sounded great! So after classes today, I played on it quite a bit. I plan to explore the pedal. Maybe I’ll find some inspiration to write some music!

Lost

What if the stars live in your eyes? I look into them, You blush and stare back at me. Your hands start to fidget, You accuse me for making you uncomfortable. I can’t hear your words, I’m floating, lost in this feeling.

Forged by fire

Misfortune is the "fire" that forges toughness and growth, much like how metal is heated to make it stronger. Challenges push us beyond our comfort zones, forcing us to adapt, learn, and evolve in ways that comfort cannot. Can we grow without facing hardship? I do not think so. All the misfortunes that we faced are lessons from life, to make us grow in strength.
