My Father's Conversion Story

Upon reading all the contents of the 2005 planner that my father gave me about two years ago - I, again, remember those happy moments when he was still with us...though it continue to cease ever since this year started. This happened one day, about May, 2008. I forgot the exact date. But that was the time that I was so much engrossed in my preparation for my mission so that I would be able to pass my mission papers as soon as possible. I asked my father about his conversion story. He asked me "Why?". I told him I just wanted to know all about it. We didn't know then that he would die the month after.

Dead Talent

I've lost it - the talent that I used to have. I am out of words, my mind is not working quite well. All I can do now is watch and observe... and appreciate everything I see.

My mind is lost...this bore me. and what makes it worst is this baloney of talk all around me. I cannot relate. It makes me go back to my own little world...the world that only I could understand. I have with me this barrier that separates me from all the other primates. It is always with me. I cannot write well...I cannot communicate well...so what I do is just stay quiet and create my own world. I do this by organizing all the tiniest detail that I see...or re-organizing them in my mind...everything. ...and with this...I am contented.
