My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Just kidding – I mean it’s not that awful that I missed a day of writing. It just looks like a big black hole on my calendar, is all. 😉 Yesterday was a busy day with running some last-minute errands before the week ends and I am off on holidays. Plus, then I have to finish some paperwork (which I am avoiding by posting right now) and we went to the first Emirati…

  •   _Someone Knows My Name_ by Lawrence Hill A while back when I wasn’t sure what book to read next, my BFF suggested this title to me. So, I downloaded it and though I took a bit of time (for me anyway) to get through it, it was not from a lack of interest. 🙂 This story is written in a memoir-like style, though it is fiction, and follows the life of Aminata…

  • Although I still have quite a bit left to catch up on here, I thought today would be a bit shorter as I have errands to run and things to go about doing. It has been since November, 2009 that I last saw my best friend, her husband and son (my godson). So, finally after months of just catching up on phone calls and emails, we are finally going to be able to…

  • As I continue finding areas of my blog that need more posts, I also see that I will have to start keeping up with my craft projects as well. Over the years I have done a number of projects and tried to take pics, but somewhere along the line I stopped posting them…. That is about to change! 😛 My friend, S in AD had a birthday in April. Since she had passed…

  • It just came to my realization that I have not made a single posting about my pottery hobby on this blog. It seems hardly possible considering how much of my life is spent on pottery and what it means to me to be able to do it regularly here in Abu Dhabi. I first started pottery back in Japan when I lived in Kyoto. I needed to find something creative to do with…

  • Back in the days of C, I was introduced to this old improv British comedy show – “Whose Line Is It Anyway?“. Though not generally a big fan of comedy and it has taken a number of years to appreciate British humour, I have slowly come around to certain aspects of it and most especially I do enjoy improv shows of any kind as this is where I believe talent comes into play.…

  • There is so much that I want to write about that I hardly know where to begin. I will have to make a list of posting topics that go with pictures of things that I have done. Even though I haven’t been posting regularly and been fairly anti-social, I have still surprisingly been doing things. For today, this is it because I don’t have my list at the moment. However, I want to…

  • It has been a long journey the past six to eight months. In some ways I wonder where the time went and who that person was living my life during this time. Now that I am on the way back to being me, but a renewed me, I realize just how much I needed to go through this phase and am grateful that it wasn’t a longer episode. Lemme ‘splain…. Sometime late last…

  • I try to understand I try to empathize I try to rationalize Yet, my words get twisted Yet, my voice gets lost Yet, my heart gets pain How can it be – This change? This stranger? This feeling of loss? The more I try, the less I sleep The more I think, the less I understand The more I rationalize, the less it makes sense My love is the same My passion is…

  • _Love In the Time of Cholera_ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez This book has been talked about and put on the top of ‘must-read’ lists since it came out. Marquez has been touted as a beautiful and amazing writer. Due to all this fuss, I have generally avoided reading his works. (Yes, I have some issues….) However, when I was in the library at work, I saw it and thought since it was free…
