Free Up My Table Space

Posted by spymama on Nov-3-2010

I did a little spring cleaning yesterday. I can’t believe how come I have so much stuff that accumulate in just the past 5 years, since I moved in. I had rid of so much junk from the old home and yet now when I need to clean up, I find so many things at home taking up space everywhere.. One white elephant that I gave up trying to find space is my old tabletop or rather, desktop pc. It is so big that it sits on my large table and I have hardly space left to do any writing or work on this table.. Hubby suggested that I get a rack mount computerso that I have some free space for other things besides that age old bulky pc at home… Perhaps I should just listen to her. Less space means less room to share and I can find table space to write again…

Life and Death, not important anymore?

Posted by spymama on Nov-1-2010

The past two weeks has been associated with too many deaths. In Indonesia alone, the volcano erupted, then a tsunami striked. A fruit seller at the market had just closed her stall for a few days with the passing of her mother. More news also appear on the papers, with the recent of a teen been stabbed at Downtown East… Can you imagine, the precious life of a young fella being taken just because of some staring accidents? What has the world become. Are we all becoming sooo complacent with life that education about life is now merely a job for others to teach, with pain and death?

Have people stopped living already? Chasing papers, education, career, money, status, everything. Then we all forgot to breath and watch our life just pass us by and before you know it, you are on your death bed! We should learn from the deaths of the world. Let us slow down, enjoy human company, be more patient, be less reliant on wants, go for basic needs.. oh well, if you can’t do it forever, at least do it for a week. And you’ll start to see you are finally living, communicating and sharing love.
