Moving On By Having A New Roommate

 Note: This blog has been deleted unknowingly when I changed the 'style' that I use here (after getting enticed by blogger.com with fresh looking styles and so I decided to switch styles). I wonder what readers have been looking into when they click into the contents of this posting; it's, probably, the title that intrigues them or drives them to check what's behind the posting (and they would find out that it's an empty post). I don't have a draft of that original blog posting in my files; I write directly on this page. But as far as I could recall, I wrote about a new roommate who moved into the room that became vacant because the former roommate passed on. The new roommate knows that the former occupant of his room now passed on; the room has completely been cleaned, with new paint given to its walls, with new carpeting installed, among other things we did to practically overhaul the room. The experience of having a new roommate provided another great opportunity for me to move on. 


I have to add that it was sad that my former roommate had to pass on (he was so sickly) and I'll always remember him as we have some of his ashes (in an unmarked clear bottle) in our living room. We also have his pictures in our house. No, I don't get scared at all by these. We will all move on; we just have to wait patiently for our turn.

I've since then written 3 articles from what I learned by engaging in yoga: Men and Yoga The health benefits of yoga for men A guide on how and where to get yoga instructor certification in New York Read about what got into my mind in one of those times when I showed up at the former HNY's studio in Chelsea below: Last night's nude yoga session ( see Hot Nude Yoga ) led to a brief chat that gave me the opportunity to quench my curiosity over the penis rings that hang on the genital region of one of the participants. The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
