My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • After the couple of days of “work” in London, I flew off to Copenhägen, Denmark to meet my friend, J, for our Scandinavia adventure. We had booked a 12-day ‘tour’ to see the region and I couldn’t wait! We started with Copenhägen for two nights and fell in love with the sights, people (aka tall men!) and food. Everyone was very friendly to us – perfect strangers – and helped us with ideas for…

  • Oh it seems ages ago that I was leaving for the UK to do some work training as the start of my summer holidays…. It will be nice to reminisce as I update here on my last eight weeks! 😛 I may or may not have written before that I am trained as an Apple Education Trainer (AET) formally known as an Apple Professional Developer (APD). While this does not mean that I work for…

  • So…is the suspense killing you???? 😛 The results at the beginning of June revealed that…HS is NOT my biological family!!! 😮 Yep…after all that assumption that if I were to search I would find them, it seems that I am actually even less able to find my biological parents than those who were given zero information. To be honest, I have to say that I felt relief when I found out. It was weighing on me…

  • The end of May arrived and about once a week I would check the website for an update on the DNA results, though I knew they would also send an email. Since both samples were under my account, I could switch back and forth on what was being revealed. My mind was swinging back and forth on how I might feel about the results. The idea of possibly having a biological family that was…

  • To continue…. So, two years later, I received an email from HS inquiring as to how I was and apologizing for not writing sooner, but that she needed time to process. She asked me to connect with her on Kakao Talk, which is the Korean version of WhatsApp. So, I did. We exchanged a few messages and pictures. She updated me on life and asked me to call her “Auntie” in Korean. Hm…this…

  • I know that I promised some updates on my travels this summer, but as I have finally processed a bit about the results of my birth family search, I thought perhaps I would write on that today. As I was just going back over this blog, I realized that my last posting on this topic was over three years ago!!! Eeks, a lot has happened since then. So, let me pick up where…

  • Well, six weeks flew by and I saw 9 countries that were all wonderful. I will be updating as I can with pics and thoughts on my visits. In the meantime, we got back last night and were up early this morning on a new regime. Since we both got a bit pudgy over the holidays, M and I are on a regular workout routine along with a clean Paleo diet for the…

  • I hadn’t realized it has been so long since I last posted. Guess I have been busy and taking some space to enjoy life whilst processing next steps. This space will, as I am constantly saying, become more active soon. My plan is to return to more regular scheduled programming upon my return to the desert and have a chance to re-establish routine to my life. 😀 It will most likely happen this…

  • In every heart there is a dream In every eye there is a hope In every mind there is a way for it all to come true.  In every child there is an innocence In every woman there is an intuition In every man there is an instinct  for it all to come true  We dare to dream We hold to hope We work to a way  for innocence, intuition and instinct  to…

  • For a while now I have been considering getting a new car because my lovely Materia has spent the last six years getting bullied on the UAE roads. In general I have a thing against buying used cars in this country since people tend to abuse their cars and then lie about the usage. Also, not to be too racist, but there are certain groups of people here whom cannot be trusted. Still,…
