strength and spirit of the soul

the other day i was cleaning the house.
cleaning turns into shifting the furniture all around.
it took hours, but totally satisfying.

that is me.
i used to sleep at real late hours,
at times, i'll be shifting the furnishing and decor in my bedroom at 3 am.
i used to have just the bedroom to play with,
now i have the whole house.

at times, when i really want to do something,
really really want to, even if it's something not important at all,
i have the strength and the determination to complete it.
the day when i was to go on the hike with the cadets,
i was not feeling too well, but knowing that i have the cadets to take care of, somehow i'd managed to walk that whole distance.
i was surprised that i could do it then too.

lately my cadets have been training both for competition and the Speech Day.
i feel upset that i couldn't help them much,
in marching and knowing that they are tired, they still have to go on.
i feel for them.
from the staff room, i can hear the parade rehearsal going on,
and nothing much i can do to ease their tiredness.
all i had was teddy biscuits for them.

march is ending,
april is coming.
my favourite month.
film festival film festival!!!
it has been 12 years since i watched my first film festival,
had never skip a year except for the year when i was in UK.

frantically going through the synopsis of the films,
marking down the ones i want to watch,
checking the dates,
cancel anything else just for the movies.
used to go down and queue at the ticketing office before i have credit card to book online.
then for two whole weeks, feast my eyes with all the international stories.
i love the times when i was able to volunteer to help out,
as that means free movies and any movies.
now i can't find time.

April is also the month where birthdays of some of my favourite people falls on.
that includes me.
i love myself ok!


April.

It's good to know that T. S. Elliot got it wrong when he says that "April is the cruellest month". Have a good April!
