Back to the grind…
Took a bit of a computer break yesterday and am back to work today. The new campus is pretty impressive and I love that I have my own office. Tomorrow I will take pics… today I am wiped! I’m out of practice for a full day’s worth of this working thing… 😉

Greener grass…
As the day to return to work draws nearer, I find myself feeling a little depressed. It’s not that I oppose working, or even that the job itself is bad. I mean, really, how can I complain about having the holidays that I have?? So, I have been trying to sort out why I seem…

What?! It’s September?
Hard to believe another month is about to start. Just another couple more days of vacation freedom, but I suppose it will be good to get back into the swing of things at work. I know that it will start off with a sprint, so I am working hard to just enjoy the last bit…

Getting back into it…
I joke that I don’t do anything that makes me sweat…; it’s mostly true, but getting older means that I should try to be conscientious about my health. So, I try to eat a little less (still love food, tho!) and exercise. When I moved to Abu Dhabi I got into swimming regularly despite my…

New documentary on young adoptees
Thanks again to 8Asians, this trailer for a documentary on young adopted girls – Somewhere Between – looks interesting. It is nice to see/hear the voices of young adoptees and those from other countries. What is striking is that the issues and thoughts are the same as those I am familiar with – a sign…

Header Make-over
If you actually read my blog and actually visit the actual URL site, then you can see I have changed the header of my page. The old one felt dark and with the black background made everything feel somber. It was probably how I felt at the time of starting the site, but it seemed…

My Adoption Journey – 1
I have decided to start a new series of posts related directly to my adoption experience. This is mostly because I have started to delve more and more into the world of adoptees who are starting to express themselves about this whole being adopted thing – especially Korean-American adoptees. I know that some are reading,…

Monolids
This is a bit random, but this article on 8Asians (again) reminded me about struggling with issues of make-up. I have long since given up on the idea of eye make-up and wear a minimal amount in general despite being told by a few older Asian ladies that I am beyond the age of needing…

Thoughts on Koreans
A while back I read this post on 8Asians and thought about how Koreans love emotional drama – more so than many of the other countries I have visited. Koreans and Japanese are often compared, but I always find Japanese people too stoic and though their tv dramas attempted to be dramatically emotional, it was…

New Abode
Before the summer holidays began we moved apartments from our downtown Al Serkal Towers building to uptown Guardian Towers. Sometime in March, R and I decided that we would move in together since we were always together anyway and spending the nights at one or the other apartment all the time. Since I have had…
