A pause in time

September 30, 2019September 30, 2019 Anne J.6 Comments

Perhaps, the mundanities of daily life are killing my dreams, erasing the vision in my head. Every day, this world, where I don’t belong, sucks me in. My passion wears away. I am a rock, eroding. My fire is extinguished and my spirit dies a little each time. >>> It’s exhausting! Am I weakening? Am…… Continue reading A pause in time

Fate and self-doubt

September 7, 2017March 18, 2018 Anne J.3 Comments

Of the subjects, let me first tackle self-doubt. Mine! Fate shall follow. Or, maybe they are intertwined. Who knows? Not me. Self-doubt I don’t think I know much.

Originally posted on Jay Colby:
How many people have told you, “Follow your passion,” “Find your passion,”  “Pursue your passion” or “Find a job that you would do for free”. Yet in many cases “passion” is often a concept that is difficult to explain, hard to find and impossible to measure. It’s something that’s unique…

Living Passionately, graceful or not

October 1, 2016October 1, 2016 Anne J.4 Comments

I have not written or posted any blog according to the daily prompt but today seems to fit perfectly with what I had wanted to post, being living passionately. It prompted me to ask if grace correlates to passion. Am I graceful as I live my life of passion? Perhaps, not. More often, passion goes…… Continue reading Living Passionately, graceful or not

Time, Passion, Priorities

July 13, 2016July 13, 2016 Anne J.10 Comments

Passing time Spending time Killing time Time speeding by… Two weeks have passed since my last post and it feels like I have been deprived of the great stuff life is made of especially when it happened immediately after connecting with some really wonderful people here. I have missed the interaction with all of you,…… Continue reading Time, Passion, Priorities

A bit about me

Anne J.

Anne J.

I'm a Philippine island girl in Africa, a Filipino-South African. A mad banana woman that I am, I live "la vida loca". The banana part isn’t only because I'm Anna (Banana) but because an old boyfriend had observed that although Asian (yellow on the outside) I'm very much Caucasian in my way of thinking (white in the inside) and my actions, too. It's a rather accurate observation. I am that liberal-thinking and modern-acting Filipino... I remain my tragic-comedic self with a day job in slightly more serious field of Finance, Business Operations and Corporate Affairs.
