My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • The days blur together and I rarely know what day or date it is, which is how vacation should be, right? 😉 So, sometime last week, when the weather broke (thankfully!), we went exploring the island a bit. A Thai lady recommended that we see Karon beach and others had mentioned it before. Also, one of R’s former colleagues had raved about it all the time, so we wanted to see what the…

  • I think I’ve sort of forgotten what pics I have posted and which ones I haven’t. So, there may be some repeats. For now, I’ll just put up the pics that aren’t related to anything in particular (mostly food and driving scenes!) to catch up. I’ll cover the ‘themes’ next!

  • I’m a little behind in sharing what we’ve been up to other than our daily studying, swimming and overall enjoying of vacation. So, I’ll try to catch up a bit. Last week, we caught a break in the rainy weather and decided to head over to Phuket Town, which is quite close in terms of distance. It was about 5km away and took just about 20 minutes to get there by scooter. We…

  • Okay, so yesterday I posted about my little annoyance towards ‘self-help’ writing that seems to be the more popular way of getting published quickly. I expressed that I wanted my writing to be about the art of storytelling. This is STILL true; however, I must admit that it is a little bit hypocritical of me to be too harsh on the ‘self-help’ genre when I really do enjoy travel writing. Travel writing by…

  • So, lately I’ve been going between reading, writing for my dissertation, wishing I were doing more travel writing, wondering if I should be writing my life stories, and giving up on all of it by taking a long nap after playing some games on my iPad! 😛 I’d like to say I’m joking about the above sentence, but it’s no joke. Usually when I am on holiday, I do try to re-acquaint myself…

  • One of our discoveries in the JungCeylong mall in Patong is The Wine Connection. When we discovered it, we thought it looked like a chain, but thought the menu looked good especially with their deal of being able to pick a bottle of wine from the shelf and drink it with your meal. When I found a bottle of Cotes-du-Rhone there, we decided to try it out. This happens to be one of…

  • I’m long overdue to post some pics. Sorry… The really good news is that the rain seems to have broken for a bit and we’re back in sunny weather. The past couple of days we’ve been out on the scooter for most of the day exploring the island of Phuket. I’ll post more on that when I get the pics uploaded. For now, it’s time to put my computer into lower temperatures before…

  • _Fat Loss for Beginners_ by Vic Magary Okay, so not really my usual kind of reading material. However, a friend of mine from high school posted it on his FB page promoting it for one of his friends. Plus, it was free on Amazon Kindle, so why not, right? It’s a very short read and a compilation of Vic Magary’s blog posts (a new trend in Kindle books). However, it reads well enough…

  • _The Lost Years_ by Mary Higgins Clark It’s been quite a while since I’ve read a Mary Higgins Clark novel and I can’t recall liking the last one so much, but I continue to give my favorite authors a chance when new novels come out. Since I’m still on vacation mode and can’t work on my dissertation 24/7, I am still going through books like a crazy person. 🙂 So, this story was…

  • Okay, so I’m having a bit of a pity party on my behalf. So, if you’re not in the mood to read my whinging or just don’t feel like reading anything down, this is not the post for you! First, there really is nothing in my life that is so bad. I have a great family. I have a wonderful boyfriend. I have some wonderfully kind and good friends. I have a well-paying…
