    • About Me

      ELLO to all my monkeys & other critters! Things are so bright & so lively when you are happy, especially when surrounded by my fave colours like Indigo, Orange, and Red.............. * Here's my life mantra, no matter how life throws things at me, no matter how bad those things can be or get, this will never change: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

    • Interests

      Relationships, are what they are: "Don't let someone become a priority in your life. When you are just an option in their life. Relationship best work when they are balanced"......... So glad I know this now - balance, timing and fate are everything! Always be "you", keep believing in your dreams and never lose hope, you never know what is just around the corner or in front of your eyes all this time... All you need to know is to be able to truly see with your heart and listen to your soul, only then you can really see with your eyes...

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      Joined DS on May 24th '07: She said a few weeks earlier she no longer want to stay married; little I know then that was the kindest gesture she has ever do for me, during those last 7 years :). I am a proud Daddy to a sweet 5-years-old boy and to an adorable 1-year-old baby girl. They are my world. I'm scared of the future but I also know to be strong and be the best person I can be for my family. Things will work out for the best, they always do! I will get there... :)

      Music has been my personal therapy since I started this journey... the road is long but always seems shorter when you have music to listen to... :)
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Enjoy life, count your blessings, sing, shout, or anything that makes you happy really - in the end it's your life after all and no one else. Say 'hi' and smiles lots to everyone you meet, take into considerations all the daily input you get so you can learn and receive strengths from friends & family but the day is only as good as you and only you can make it out to be. :)
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking to my good friends here helps tons but others, especially my immediate family members are of no help. They are too judgmental to begin with, even with our marriage so I can't possibly think they can be of help now, if not making me feel even worse about my situation.

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I never knew my mom, she passed away when I was only a week old; heart complications due to birth delivery. Have been living with my grandparents till I was 8 then came to Canada to be with my Dad and step mom. I can tell you that I didn't have a happy childhood here. Was physically and emotionally abused by my Dad. Even though my step mom didn't do any of that, there was hatred toward me and that didn't help the situation. The physical abuse stopped when I went to College and University.

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      I never knew my mom; she passed away when I was only a week old, due to a weak heart condition and birth delivery complications • The only few pictures I have of my mom I posted them on here. • My dad is the only person who can really tell me more and what kind of person my mom was, but now he doesn't speak to me so there's that. My Dad disowned me because he didn't approve of my marriage. • All I know is that my Mom is the sweetest person you can meet ever meet. And that makes me smiles. :)

    • Open Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Primary Progressive MS

      My mother-in-law passed away on November 2001 from a primary progressive form multiple sclerosis. It was hard for all of us, as we all saw her decline over the years of both activity level and health. It's sad as she was full of life and creativity, always tend to laugh and be kind to everyone. We dearly miss her.

    • Open Parenting Big Kids (5-8)

      Wow, I can't believe that my son just turned the big FIVE!! Gosh even he's saying himself that he is all grown up now that's he's 5. I am proud of him but I'm also scare, scare of the demands and whether I can provide the family health & stability he needs to be all he can be. Trying to think positive and do all I can, be the best father I can be for my children - if not what else? :)

      I'm adding this group for a very good friend of mine on here. Pls send good wishes, prayers, good thoughts, love or anything to help out my dear friend Girlpoet & her family in these times of need... Her Dad is battling PANCREATIC cancer and in more time than other, needs everything he can get to go through this so he can spend happy time with his daughter and all his family. He's an amazing person; it pains me so to see such a beautiful family to have to go through this...
