Updated on January 21: i have always kept the really personal stuff in my life away from this blog, and i shall continue to do the same. but it’s suffice to say that something terrible happened recently. i have been a pretty strong person all my life, but this time things got so bad, it was almost enough to push me over the edge. i felt i was being sucked into quicksand, and a struggle would be futile.
but, a miracle happened. and i think it happened because of your prayers. it happened the following night after i asked for them. i almost couldn’t believe it. and i wouldn’t want to doubt it.
many of you have left comments and wrote email expressing your concern. i am touched and i sincerely thank you. your words moved me to tears at several points. i apologise if i can’t reply every one of you. but each and every single comment and email is now in a special folder of my mailbox, as a reminder to myself that there is still good in a world as hard to live in as this one.
dear readers,
it’s been a long time since i last blogged. that was at christmas.
a lot has happened. i have not been well in several aspects.
i am looking forward to posting my next update, i really am. but if i’m not back by the end of this month, i may never be. it means i have not been able to pick myself up.
if you are a web design client of mine, i would probably not be able to complete the existing projects on hand. rest assured i would pass these on to a capable designer whom i trust would do a much better job than i ever did.
meanwhile, i hope you would keep me and my family in your prayers.
much love,
veron

Girl, there are ups n downs in life and sometime there are things that you think it is too much to let go….. Please B STRONG… If u get trapped with the negative thoughts, u will lose more of what u currently have…. If u can brace up and goes on, u will continue to achieve more of what there is meant for you…… Life is precious, treasure it. View all comments by KW TOH

“Even places that have been shrouded in darkness for billions of years can be illuminated. Even a stone from the bottom of a river can be used to produce fire. Our present sufferings, no matter how dark, have certainly not continued for billions of years-nor will they linger forever. The sun will definitely rise. In fact, its ascent has already begun.” - Daisaku Ikeda View all comments by Jasmine

Hey Veron,
I am sorry to hear about the difficulties that you or your family are facing. I will definitely be praying for you.
You are talented, a strong wordsmith, have a great sense of aesthetics, and are definitely cared for and loved by many. Your blog is one of the better blogs I have visited, and there is a reason why people keep returning time and again. There is a lot going for you at this tender young age and calling it quits is not an option that you should consider.
Buzz, email or IM if you need a listening ear anytime. View all comments by Walter

Any time I felt that life was too dull or hard to bear, I found after a while that my views on the world and myself had inevitably changed, and with them my feelings. We can never enjoy an immutable happiness in life as much as we will never have to bear an endless melancholy. We all have to learn to cope with such a continuous change in our feelings and in our views on reality.
Hold tight onto life and you’ll see that daylight always comes after darkness.
A big hug,
Attilio View all comments by Attilio

Veron, allow me to join the rest of your fans and friends to wish you well, and that you’ll pick yourself up and be back to where you are meant to me. When you didn’t update your blog for so long, I was kinda worried… but I wasn’t close enough to you to do something about it.
If you need a stranger to help out, please let me know. View all comments by Razlan
although i do not know what is currently happening in your life, i’ve been told that sometimes taking a deep breath and step away for a minute (be it physical or spiritual) from the situation helps both mind and body.
hope all will be okay. View all comments by ames

hey Veron
Though I do not know you, I have been reading your blog.
Sorry to hear that you are going thru something that is affecting u (and your family) so much.
Many readers, friends, fans, are here for you as u can see from all the comments. If u can, hopefully u are already sharing your burdens with someone and that u are getting some comfort.
If not, hopefully u can employ your previously used tactics to cheer yourself up. Draw strength from previous experiences and I hope all the negative stuff affecting u now will pass away soon.
My prayers are with you
PS: I understand u enjoy a good beer…i’d recommend Kronenburg 1664 from Superfamous or Novus @National Museum View all comments by Jzin

Hi Veron,
I am glad to know that you are feeling better now.
Just remember that God loves you and He will never forsake you. Even as you are going through such tough times, He is holding your hand and is carrying you through.
Be encouraged, dear friend. View all comments by Angie
