Bored of my first few days at work, I downloaded an e-book “The Art of War“. T’was surely more than an ennui-buster. Though physically, t’was a painful read (the texts could be hardly seen as they were intentionally blurred), urging readers to buy the original copy, perhaps.

Living on fear is advanced death. Thriving on doubts is rottening raw. Relishing fright is decaying alive. Murmuring dread is cursing life. What scares you? What makes your heart leap as kangaroos?

A mentor from Beirut was coming to give a crash training in Dubai and I was tasked to book her in a hotel and secure her entry to UAE. She’s a Spanish national so I knew she’d be granted visa upon arrival at Dubai Airport (free of charge). I inquired at UAE’s Spanish Embassy and they…

Issa is overwhelmed. It’s something I never expected (this soon) to wake up to. I was even mad at you, Neil, for being too incomprehensible. So this is the mystery behind the short replies. I’m reborn. So much thanks. I am Issa. My friends back in primary, high school and college might call me differently,…

issa www.iamissa.com is the continuation of our failed attempt with www.teacherissa.com. I’m neil, www.kartonista.com, and this will be my first and last post on this website. As of this writing, Issa doesn’t have any idea that I’m setting this up. It’s both a gift and a new task for her. The website will…
