My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • That’s how I have felt the last few days. Everything has been really excellent in my life lately. Even with the decrease in meds, I am staying focused for now and it seems as if positive opportunities are opening before me. I am trying hard to attract more of this positive energy in my life. Of course, the universe must then challenge me in some area and it would be through my heart.…

  • Yes, it is a bit delayed, I apologize. We happened to go down to the beach on the second day of National Day celebrations around here. It was a lovely day out and we were treated to a short air show as they prepared for the evening fireworks. We did not stay for that (we are not that crazy!). Below the pics are a couple of videos: [shashin type=”photo” id=”8018,8019,8020,8022″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] [shashin…

  • I think I mentioned that I decided to go off the Cipralex since winter holidays are coming up soon and I can kind of see how I react without the stress of work added. Last week I was on 15mg instead of 20mg. I think I felt a slight change, mostly in my sleeping, but in general I still feel quite good. So, now I am switching to 10mg this week and shall…

  • One of the things I like to do with some friends is go out and eat Korean food. Sadly, R is not a fan, so I go with others. The best part is drinking soju and getting very happy. Over the years, I have met very few non-Koreans who can handle soju. Even many Koreans cannot handle their own national drink. Here’s an article that proves that (thanks to R). Still, I have…

  • Here is another beautiful adoption and birth family reunion story. It’s amazing. Closure

  • It dawned on me the other day that I cannot remember the last time that I felt so good physically and even mentally. I think I am probably in better shape now than I was in my 20s and I really feel good. The Paleo diet has made a huge difference in my physical appearance and energy level. Although I am not drastically thin like I was back in NYC, I have lost…

  • It is hard to believe this is a country that was not a country only 42 years ago. It is a teenage country trying to act like an adult, but is so spoiled with riches that it is hard to mature properly. I call this place random. Everything seems without order or purpose and yet it manages to function. The one thing that is not random is the amount of celebration that goes…

  • The other night R and I had a very lovely chat, which cleared up a lot of questions or concerns that had been going on in my head. When communication works like that I often wonder why we don’t talk more like that? What is it that keeps people in general from actually having calm and mature conversations? I realized that a lot of it is our own fault. When we hear someone…

  • This year we were too busy to think about having a big Thanksgiving bash at home. So, when Time Out Abu Dhabi decided to issue 2-for-1 coupons for a nice buffet lunch, we decided to celebrate there with friends. We had gone before earlier in the month and loved it, so it was pretty exciting to go again. 😀 It was a really lovely time and nice to feel like our international family…

  • A few days ago I posted this link about Internet porn addiction on Facebook. A colleague at work made a comment and I responded saying how my ex was/is an addict. This morning, a former colleague and FB friend whom I only ever talk to at a conference once a year, but used to be our mutual friend sent me a message chastising me (in few words) about ‘outing’ my ex for his…
