Untold Journey

Excerpts of a missing sister

Her mobile was unreachable and I was super worried and took a short break to find her missing from her university and her car parked away with the battery unattached. I wasn't paranoid but at least I check up with her on immigration only to find her half-way around the world.

Such an exciting journey during the two weeks of her semester break, I was able to trace her till Bangkok, Thailand only to miss her by a few hours. She's already on her way to London and I decide to head back as I don't have extra time and I have to be in a meeting at Kuala Lumpur the following day.

From London, she boarded transited to Bahamas and finally to the Cayman Islands in which she's to meet a friend from New York, whom she only met online. She's all grown up I know but to be suddenly missing from her university campus is quite worrisome in this troubled world. 

Especially, when I'm supposed to be one who's keeping the siblings together despite being far-away apart from each other.

She returned unscathed and safe but she still owe me an explanation as well as the unclear events which happens during the whole "missing" half-way around the world journey. It is due to the trouble-some nature of my overprotective parents which results in this untold journey.

Glad she returns home safe and with a unique experience.

Time

Time never waits for me or anyone, it passes so fast that, people age without realizing it, moments which seems to last fade away without enough appreciation and in a blink of an eye things changes. Time is uncontrollable despite how people strive to race it to the finish line, time will always be ahead of you.

I've been so busy planning for my project schedules that time doesn't allow me to enjoy my life the way I used to want it to be. I dislike it but these are the consequences of life, where there are times when I have to give what I have to give and take what I can take.

Despite time being so horridly cruel to me, my project schedule is on time and there are a few more matters to be settled regarding a few flaws here and there. I am lucky to be working in a group and there are matters also assigned to my other colleagues.

If you haven't done something which you wish to do during this certain time-frame, I suggest that you do it despite any limitation, may it be monetary, right time, or right location, I believe that at a certain compromise, just do it regardless as the chance may not come again.

Some people say, time does cruel things to people, effecting their emotions and beauty in such a way, but is it really time's fault? That is the question to be answered. So, if any golden opportunities arises, be sure to grab it, even if not perfectly but at least never regretting not doing anything at all.

The sands of time is flowing in the time-glass this very moment.

Trail "O" Lights

Figure 1: Winding greenish light trail.

Trail "O" Lights, Oh Trail "O" Lights,
Guide me through this path of darkness,
Where no one can sees nor speaks,
Winding paths leading to unknowns..

Trail "O" Lights, Oh Trail "O" Lights,
Shine when it is safe and timeless,
For many have lost their saltiness,
Turned pale and tasteless..

Trail "O" Lights, Oh Trail "O" Lights,
When eternal darkness falls,
Unwise ones loses their senses,
Every sign of hope fails,

Figure 2: Winding yellowish light trail.

Just looked out the window of my office when it was already dusk, imagining if suddenly the whole plant suffers a devastating power outage and the local power utility also fails to supply power. Over-imagining the world pitch black without light. Voices offering to guide is everywhere but meaningless as everyone is lost.

Hope seems meaningless if there is no guiding light, even those with burning hearts will slowly fade to dust in the darkness. Faith, in a way, provides a path which really needs perseverance to travel. Just like a Trail "O" Lights.
