I cannot do so many things like my younger brother. I do not know how he does it, like tying shoes. For me, it looks so difficult. Every time I promise myself I will do the first knot, but when I bend to start, I see the [...]

Today I had time to think. I looked all over the shopping mall. Everyone seemed excited by the displays on the windows. The products looked enticing. I wanted to buy the little dalmatian toy, but my mother said I could not have it. She said I am [...]

Her soft lips – the lips which have been shaping some words and eliciting some captivating sounds into my ears – are really driving me crazy. I really need to taste them – tonight. At the back of my mind, I momentarily play the scenes from a romantic movie “Ghost” acted by Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg, and promise myself that if she decides to test her smile against mine, her kiss against my tenderness, and her warmth against my patience, then this night, tonight, this time, I will transform myself into Patrick Swayze and she will be my Demi Moore.

I have always been of the mindset that all human beings are inherently good. Yes, the tenets of the idealists do hold firm with me, even if only in a utopian world. In Utopia, people love one another for who they are, flaws and all. In Utopia, friendships are made easily, and enmity [...]

It was while waiting for his car to be washed that Dr. Kioko called.
“Give me ten minutes and I will be there?” Felix told the doctor who wanted Felix to be there when the news was being broken.
Felix decided to walk to the Doctor’s plaza. He gave the car wash man shs.500 and [...]
