My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • I didn’t have time yesterday to post…. It was a long day. Work started at 8 and it being the first day of the week, it was hard to get started. Then, we had a meeting late in the day rather than coming home early as we usually do with early starts. The meeting was really great. After getting home, I quickly changed and then went to pottery. We left pottery early to…

  • _The Casual Vacancy_ by J.K. Rowling After the last Harry Potter book came out, it was always a question as to whether or not J.K. Rowling could write another successful novel. With the Harry Potter books I was never convinced that the quality of writing was good, but the storytelling aspect was always effective. Therefore, I had hope that she would be able to publish a good novel. I saw an interview with…

  • First, there are only 11 more days of my BFF’s 37th year…uwahahahah…. 😛 (Love you! hehehe) Second, I need to be making more of a concerted effort to get this literature review chapter done, which means focusing – does writing this blog post count? 😉 I think of my blog posts as warm up to my actual writing. 😀 Seriously, though, where is the time going? It seems that the break of winter…

  • For some time I’ve been playing in my mind about this topic and wondering how I could write about it clearly so that it made sense – even to me. One of the things I dislike the most about living in the UAE is the fact that I am constantly ‘pursued’ by the male gender. The other day a good friend of mine said something her boyfriend had told her when she first…

  • It seems like my mind is always jumping to some new idea, but then I don’t stop long enough to formulate it completely or at least write it down for later to look at it again. Until recently, I’ve just figured that if the idea returns to me repeatedly, then it is something for me to finally follow-through with. Lately, I feel quieter in my mind, but it doesn’t mean I’m more focused.…

  • Yes, it is true…in my attempt to focus more on my dissertation, the more I write on my blog(s). I am on the literature review chapter, which should consist of about 60 pages. Yep, you read that right. So…how much have I written? As I type this…zero, zero, zero. By the time this posts, I am hoping it will be more than this. (Remember, one is more than zero! :P) However, I have…

  • Wow, it has been way too long since I last updated about my little garden this year. It has been a bit of a slow start this year due to the rather irregular weather with sandstorms, fog, rain and whatnot. Usually, the warm weather is starting in full force at this point causing my tomatoes, especially to go wild, but at the moment they are just starting to produce. So, here are some…

  • We have been hanging out quite a bit with some new friends. It’s nice to have couply friends with whom we can enjoy just chilling out. It’s been a while (if ever that we’ve had such kinds of friends). So, with the really wonderful weather lately, we’ve been BBQing! Last night, we had a bit of get together and didn’t cause too much trouble. 😉 Just good times! [shashin type=”album” id=”62″ size=”small” crop=”n”…

  • Some new friends of ours have been talking about this wine pairing event for a few months. It has sounded fun and interesting, plus oh so posh, to do, so when the next one came up, I was totally in! So, a small group of us from the ZOO went together and had a really lovely time. This month’s was pairing Spanish tapas dishes with Chilean wines. The event was held at the…

  • [shashin type=”album” id=”58″ size=”medium” crop=”n” columns=”3″ caption=”y” order=”date” position=”center”] I just realized that I never posted about my trip to Musandum in Oman. It’s a popular location to go diving or to enjoy a boat cruise and watch dolphins. I had been wanting to go for some time, so Paola and I decided to book a tour. Unfortunately, it was some of the worst weather we had had for a long time and…
