offbeat, opinionated, snarky & not for the faint of heart...





Sometimes, I cannot not write when the compulsion to pen the words gets too overwhelming, usually when there's an upheaval in my life.

Otherwise, the unexpressed words would hound and haunt me. There were times I had to shushed them into silence when I don't feel like writing.

Updates were sporadic with some period the entries were posted daily while at others you would hardly hear a peep from me.

As life is a roller-coaster ride of emotions, it's expected that I would sound like a raving lunatic in some posts and sound sober and at peace with myself in some others.

The internal conflicts are sometimes real and sometimes just a figment of my imagination.

There are also a few posts of me singing the blues punctuated with some entries of hilarious moments.

Whatever it is, just know that I mostly write from the heart and whatever I write is meant to touch the reader's heart in one way or another.

So, the hundreds of posts on No! Don't Speak blog that used to be such a mess and a headache to keep track of are now sorted into different pages according to the different themes.

When struck by the poetic mood, words are penned down ala poetic verses dealing a huge poetic injustice (regardless of the actual meaning) to the proper convention of poem writing, methinks.

Narrative accounts of incidents within or without the household whether real, imagined, or in-between.

Life's a constant emotional roller coaster ride, no? When on my highs, I may wax lyrical about things & sometimes, on my lows, I tend to vent like a raving lunatic. Here's where I sound off my voice of reason, or not. Be forewarned: read with caution.

Taking time out when sober and in a reflective mood.
