Picking up speed….
It’s only week 2 of the semester and everything is starting to speed up…. I am going to have to be careful not to overdo myself as I can definitely tell a major crash could occur…. Everything is good at the moment, thankfully! Although I wasn’t totally enthused to be back in the classroom, I…

Summer 2015: Scandinavia – Belastrand, Norway
One of the main reasons to head to the west coast of Norway is to see the fjords. It was beautiful just to wake up to the view of the lake and we got to watch a bit more of the parasailing competition before we hopped on the three-car local train from Voss to make…

Where did the week go?
All my best intentions to stay on a writing schedule have been waylaid by the realities of returning to work. I definitely need to reset my scheduling priorities – but will try to get through the first week of classes and see how the dust settles before cementing a flexible routine. The other day, I…

Summer 2015: Scandinavia – Voss, Norway
After our fairly short visit in Oslo, we took the train from Oslo to Voss. Voss seems to be the European destination for sports, camping and general ‘outback’ family holiday. It is a beautiful town located on a lake and my hotel room looked out on the mountain caps and lake. [shashin type=”photo” id=”10201″ size=”small”…

Summer 2015: Scandinavia – Oslo, Norway
Our next stop on our Scandinavia adventure was Oslo. So, we took the train on a rather wet morning through the countryside and found ourselves in the small capital of Norway. While people in the touristy areas were friendly enough, no one was overly friendly. We still did a lot of walking and found ourselves…

Summer 2015: Scandinavia – Copenhägen, Denmark
After the couple of days of “work” in London, I flew off to Copenhägen, Denmark to meet my friend, J, for our Scandinavia adventure. We had booked a 12-day ‘tour’ to see the region and I couldn’t wait! We started with Copenhägen for two nights and fell in love with the sights, people (aka tall men!)…

Summer 2015: London, UK [Apple Training]
Oh it seems ages ago that I was leaving for the UK to do some work training as the start of my summer holidays…. It will be nice to reminisce as I update here on my last eight weeks! 😛 I may or may not have written before that I am trained as an Apple Education Trainer…

My Adoption Journey – 5D: Birth Family Update
So…is the suspense killing you???? 😛 The results at the beginning of June revealed that…HS is NOT my biological family!!! 😮 Yep…after all that assumption that if I were to search I would find them, it seems that I am actually even less able to find my biological parents than those who were given zero information. To be…

My Adoption Journey – 5C: Birth Family Update
The end of May arrived and about once a week I would check the website for an update on the DNA results, though I knew they would also send an email. Since both samples were under my account, I could switch back and forth on what was being revealed. My mind was swinging back and forth…

My Adoption Journey – 5B: Birth Family Update
To continue…. So, two years later, I received an email from HS inquiring as to how I was and apologizing for not writing sooner, but that she needed time to process. She asked me to connect with her on Kakao Talk, which is the Korean version of WhatsApp. So, I did. We exchanged a few…
