My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Time is flying by ever so quickly and quite sadly…. The good news is that I submitted the first chapter of my dissertation a day ahead of schedule. It was probably the longest academic piece of writing I have ever done and to think that it’s only part of the entire project at 47 pages in totality. I’m not saying it’s up to scratch for quality, but at least it’s the first milestone…

  • Well, I’m on 21 pages out of the goal of 35 and just another 7 days left to go. If I maintain my 2 pages a day pattern, it should be no problem. Although I should probably do a bit more each day so that I can have some more flexibility, but we’ll see. For now, I’m just happy when the two pages come out! Anyway…we’ve been enjoying our days still and still…

  • OMG! 20 days left…?????  😀 I know I’m spoiled…It’s not like I’ve already been off for 20+ days, but still we’re almost down to the teens and that makes me sad…. As I start to contemplate a teeeeeennnny tiiiiiny bit about work, I have to really create some clear goals about my focus this next year. *Do NOT let others stress me out! *Focus on my classes and do the minimal amount of…

  • A bit of a summary of his novel, which I read a week or so ago. Still interesting!

  • I’ve been a bit busy with data analysis work rather than pleasure writing the past couple of days. We have been getting out to the beach for a swim in the waves. Aside from today, the weather has been beautiful; therefore, so has the water! The good news is that the bandages I have are waterproof for the most part. Today, I went without and it was okay, but it seems that my…

  • We’re back in Phuket and relieved after our trip to Hong Kong. It’s been a long time since we’ve been around fast-paced and pushy people. Plus, we happened to stay in Little India/Pakistan land, which just reminded us of what we don’t like in Abu Dhabi, so that was rather unfortunate. Therefore, we’re more than happy to be back where things are a bit more relaxed. Also, our new digs are more spacious…

  • After our fun in Macau, we realized that the weather probably wasn’t going to get much better for us and my leg wasn’t going to miraculously be great for wandering the city on our own. So, we decided to book the Big Bus Tour – Premium – since they were offering discounted prices and it gave us two days as we had until late-ish on Thursday to spend before needing to be at…

  • Leg update:  It’s healing and I’m walking almost normally, but it will still be a bit longer before it’s totally back to normal…. After spending the majority of two days in the hotel room, and realizing that we are going to have to get out despite Typhoon Vicente plowing through and my leg being what it is. So, we organized to go on an afternoon tour of Macau. The plan was to catch…

  • _Born To Run:  A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen_ by Christopher McDougall Apparently, the author of this book was on The Daily Show a while back, but I didn’t remember that until R mentioned it. In any case, I came across this title when someone on Facebook had mentioned that he had just read it and become inspired. Since I have been reading books as if my…

  • Well… I’d like to post some pics, but I literally haven’t left the hotel room since we arrived – over 24 hours now, I think. I’m beyond cabin fever stage and into the acceptance that I could probably survive in a jail cell if I had to and didn’t have to worry about surviving the craziness of other jailers. Happy thoughts, right? 😉 Mostly, I’ve been convalescing my leg. It was pretty sore…
