Two days ago, my daughter Nikkei received an email she wrote to herself 5 years ago using an app where you set the time when to receive every letter you wrote. In it were her thoughts about her life then as a student, her outlook into the future and many useless products of her 18-year old imagination. She started with a greeting, "Annyeong!" That was the year she started with her Korean transformation. Ain’t that cool?

Actually, this is one of the reasons why I write daily reflections. This’ll serve as the chronicle of my life that I can look back on 5 or 55 years from now. Memories that one twisted-minded like me would normally do not remember. Stuff that my grandchildren’s grandchildren may read about if the English we write and speak now would still exist by then. They will have stories to tell their kindergarten classmates about their not so great great-great grandfather’s recorded mistakes and how he managed to rise and fall again from them. And wrote and laughed about them, too.

I’ve also kept a copy of most of the letters I wrote when I was still working in Saudi. Some hilarious, others hilarious. I might write about some of them in this platform. If I don’t forget.

Cheers! #MyCafeNotes
