My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • The week is just about finished, thank goodness! I really need a good, long sleep! It’s been pretty good overall, just busy with couchsurfing, entertaining and work. I have another brief I’m working on and will force myself to plow through tonight and tomorrow, so that Saturday will be a complete day of rest, especially as I’m getting new couchsurfers. There’s a lot happening between work and life that I am actually finding…

  • A short post for today.  This first week of the term has been as usual – tiring and busy. Hopefully, I will have some time to rest this weekend! -T 😀

  • This was a phrase I heard a lot yesterday at work. We got some news that the bills are not being paid for some reason and so we might lose maintenance (thus use) of our xerox machines – which break down daily – and our main learning management system (Blackboard) may shut down! It’s so interesting how on the outside everything can seem to be a well-oiled functioning machine, but then…the truth sets…

  • Is it possible? Although I am letting go of my anger (see yesterday’s post), I am still angry. Every now and then I recall words, phrases or attitudes and I am shocked at how I did not respond initially to them. How could I have not said something then? <sigh> Everything is always clearer upon reflection. Anyway, I am trying to just work on stopping all thoughts of him. However, it’s hard when…

  • Most of the time I try my best to avoid being angry. It’s true that I can then have a tendency to explode because I hold in my emotions, including anger. All throughout my years with various therapists, they have tried to tell me that anger is good for me and it’s okay to let it out. Sometimes I agreed and other times I did not. However, I believe that now at 38-years-old…

  • One of the things we do in coaching is to make sure we are complete with people. We encourage people to be complete with others. I had a session with Karen the other night because I want to try to stick to it at least once a month so that I do not fall out of practice. After having the coaching workshop, it was pretty interesting to see how her techniques followed the…

  • So…my plan all along had been to consider getting some kitties to keep me company once I had settled in. However, I was not in a particular rush and thought about first helping out a local volunteer organization, Feline Friends. Last week, they posted an urgent need for help fostering cats and so I responded. I figured I could foster for a while and then maybe once I got used to things I…

  • Blogs, blogs and more blogs! As if I don’t have enough to do with myself and all my free time. 😀 Well, when I was doing my life coaching with Karen, I decided to start a new blog. Originally, I wanted to focus on travel writing and sharing my experiences as a non-Asian Asian traveling around and coping with issues of identity. Plus, some of my travel stories are unique because of my…

  • I knew that I was going to need some serious down time for just me after the move and everything. So, I booked a two-night stay at Anantara’s Qasr Al Sarab out in the South-Western region of Abu Dhabi. As described, it is truly a desert resort. I loved it! On the first night I booked a hammam treatment at their Anantara’s Spa. It was so nice and great to have fresh skin…

  • _The Goldfinch_ by Donna Tartt The third brief I was given to do nearly was the end of me as well as my work freelancing. First, it took me over three weeks to complete. Although I had a week with the holiday included in that time frame, it just did not go as smoothly as the previous two had. It was about an 800-page book to begin with. Then, unlike the previous book,…
