    Whimsical Wednesday shows my fancy in a myriad of beautiful things.

    To the Single-Hearted this Valentine’s Day

    ByMae Olandesca February 5, 2013August 23, 2016

    “…..grieving and mourning over the past for a long period of time won’t get you far.” – Hannah Joy Lim Exactly two years ago, I had lost a love for a plethora of reasons.  Since then, I’ve been nursing a broken heart.  Well, it’s just me.  It’s just my weakness to easily accept, let go,…

    Gah!  I already have my own quotation/saying/proverb!  In my third year of teaching higher Chemistry subjects, I had concluded that one!  I’m so proud of myself (weeeehhhh)!  So, hurrah for a lifetime achievement!
