My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • So, yesterday, I called (wrote) in ‘sick’. Strangely, when I said that I had a migraine, I thought I felt one coming on and was worried that I actually was going to spend the day with a headache. However, thankfully it passed. It’s been quite a while since I took a day off that didn’t involve me being stuck in bed or the couch. I realized I should do it more often as…

  • My Mexican friend, P often invites me to the Latin community’s events, but this is the first time I agreed to go. While I had expected a bit more craziness and partying, it was more conservative. Perhaps the location and country kept things tame. 🙂 So, we had a good time. The music was nice and the food tasty. We danced and we laughed even without drinking too much!

  • Just posting some pics from our weekend shenanigans…. It was a nice couple of days away from AD. I should really try to make it to Dubai more often…. [shashin type=”album” id=”66″ size=”medium” crop=”n” columns=”max” caption=”y” order=”date” position=”center”]

  • So, I came up with a new URL name and will mull it over before checking to see if it is taken or not. It may become my new blog site title for when I finish my doctorate and have more time to write on topics I really want to cover… Adoptee Philosophy…still giving it some consideration… Anyway, last night was a lot of fun. I attended the conference for a while, but…

  • The final frontier…these are the voyages of…a crazy Korean adoptee living in foreign lands in search of her sanity…. Random? Yes, indeed. I’m away at a conference in Dubai. I left early so that I could leave early. Somehow I stayed longer than I would have liked, but mostly due to catching up with friends and talking to colleagues whom I don’t normally associate with much at work. Plus, I am going to…

  • Whenever I hear Lady Gaga’s song, “The Edge of Glory” I somehow feel like it’s talking about my life mantra. I am always looking for the next best thing because I am somehow dissatisfied with my current state. It is probably my own state of mind that I should be looking to improve, but in any case that’s a long process. So, the other day, I went to see Dr I and expressed…

  • Now, I’m not really the kind of girl that requires a man to bring her flowers. That’s not to say I don’t love it when it happens, but as R is not the romantic type, bringing me flowers is not on his list of things to do. Luckily, I don’t mind buying my own flowers when I want to add a little bit of life to the apartment. The other day I saw…

  • Not everyone is lucky enough to meet someone with a kindred spirit, but I definitely am. It is hard to believe that we met nearly 18 years ago and have been the bestest of friends ever since. We have truly been through just about every major event in someone’s life – marriage, births and deaths…. Although we do not live near each other now, I know that we will always be together in…

  • For some reason I took a bit of a break from working out regularly – or at least cardio workouts. I somehow got tired of the treadmill and convinced myself that I could make do without it. Instead, I joined Pilates and Yoga classes that are offered in my building. However, they don’t do enough to burn the calories since I continue to eat more than I should. No matter how much I…

  • Another Vine Mixer was not to be missed! This time the theme was Old World food – France, Spain, Italy and Wales – versus New Zealand wines. The food was definitely much more to my liking, though the wines did not quite live up to their fame. I’ve had a lot more pleasant wines from New Zealand, but they chose a different area than I usually buy from. All that aside, we had…
