Before going to Lamu Town in Kenya, we were strongly advised to be careful with our cameras as not to take pictures of people. With Lamu is one of the targets of terrorism being very close to Somalia, it was not a pleasant sight to see armed soldiers everywhere. The town is very old, ruined and poor. Not safe I might say. Our host knows the locals and it was easy to move around and going places tourists would not get a chance to go to. I asked these soldiers if I could take a picture with them. They smiled and allowed me. Great smiles. The best picture if I might say in a dangerous environment. — at Lamu Island, Kenya.

'You'll meet someone soon. No one knows what's round the corner.' How many corners, because I feel like I've turned them all. I meet people all the time. It never works out. I don't know why. Anyway, who would care? No one I guess. No one. I'm just a nobody. I'm neither a choice nor an option. I just want u to want me. Thats all. :)

If you’re in love then there is no short, tall, fat, or thin only i love you and you love me.

If you have love nothing can get in the way. If roses weren’t red and violets weren’t blue i’m pretty sure i would still love you.

Guest disillusioned

I came out to my family 8 years ago and it wasn't a pretty scene. Subsequently we quarrelled about my homosexuality from time to time, but nothing much was said over the past 2 years or so. I thought perhaps they had come to terms with it or at least learnt to live with that fact. That I'm gay.

So today while I was flipping channels over dinner, and I happened to pause for a moment at the Ellen Degeneres show. My mum then commented: "You know, I used to kind of like watching her, until I found that she's lesbian, and is married to a woman." Then she got up and went into the kitchen.

I carried on eating my dinner as if I didn't hear anything, but on the inside I was just.. sigh.

I feel for you and your mother... But bear with it, time will heal your and her wounds.. As long as you are a faithful son who will do good things, your family will come to realize you are still their son and perhaps they will think being gay is not that bad. Jia you!

안녕하세요.

When things are meant to be patched up, why not. Clear the air, get together and pour ur feelings out to each other. It won't be easy but be true to urself. What matter most is that u still care and love each other which kept the flame of relationship alive. People around u will always be there to help u. Anyway, its gonna be a long day for me with my FYP. Have a great day BW-ers. Take care. Ganbatte. :)

That's a nice thought but that rarely happens with asian parents. It's so typical of traditional asian parents to see all that you didn't do well rather than focus on what you did good. Still, it's nice to hope that happens but I would be realistic about it. Saddest thing would be that they only realize that when it's too late.

Or they don't, at all.
