Studying Sucks…
Okay, so I’ve been pretty good lately working on my dissertation. I was making some pretty good progress, but now I’m back to having to find articles, read and write, which bores me to tears. I am starting to feel like maybe I can just make do without the whole PhD thing. I mean, loads…

Luxurious Lounging – Monte Carlo Beach Club Abu Dhabi
For some time I have been wanting to spend a day at this beautiful looking beach club. However, it’s a bit on the expensive side to get a sun lounger or a cabana for the day. Since I decided not to go anywhere during this holiday and had set aside just a bit of money…

Blank…
Something that I have been pondering lately is my lack of ability to respond quickly to the questions – “What do you think?” or “How do you feel about x?” When I respond with “I don’t know”, it honestly means I do not know; not “I just don’t want to say what I know”, which…

Fascinating Inspiration
I have liked Malcolm Gladwell since his early books, but not when he was writing columns. He’s a fascinating writer and in this Ted talk, he’s a fascinating speaker. In fact, he may have become one of my heroes. 🙂 He’s left-handed. He’s super smart. He’s a bit weird. He’s a writer. What’s not to…

zzz…Sleep…zzz
Three hours of quality sleep is definitely not enough for me. It has thrown my whole day off and now it’s time for bed again! 🙂

Another Hairstyle
I know…it’s like a monthly thing for me lately to change my hairstyle…. So I get bored easily, what can I say? 😀 Although I enjoyed having the perm, I basically got tired of doing it every day and putting in mousse then walking around hair that looked crunchy – or at least to me.…

Life Coaching vs Therapy
Ooops meant to write this last night…oh well, better late than never, right? 🙂 As I wrote over a week ago, I have been thinking about therapy again. For some reason, I couldn’t quite decide what was best of my options and so I kind of mulled longer than I had planned. However, I decided…
