My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • 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,…

  • _The Gods of Guilt (Lincoln Lawyer)_ by Michael Connelly This is the second book in brief that I did for my freelance work. Remember that movie, “The Lincoln Lawyer” with Matthew McConaughey? Well, this is another story with the same character. To be honest, I was pretty appalled at the quality of this book, but it was an easy read and made me some money. 😉 The Gods of Guilt are considered to be…

  • So, it was a tentative plan to spend about a week or two completely away from R in order to reposition him in my heart and life. However, it’s VERY difficult to do this. I almost made it all day yesterday even though I was not overly happy about it. The only reason it did not happen is because I could not get my Apple TV working and my plan to enjoy TV…

  • It’s never easy moving and even harder when it’s after a ‘break up’. However, the sense of my own space and living in my own way again is very freeing and relaxing. This morning I finished putting away the last few things and now just have some decorating matters to sort out, but there’s no real rush on that. So, here’s the place according to Tara: Master bedroom – [shashin type=”photo” id=”8099″ size=”medium”…

  • Moving has almost finished. However, now it’s all about cleaning and getting everything settled so that it really feels like home. So, I am almost there…. Today I’ve got the windows cleaned and the house will be thoroughly cleaned later. I’ll get some groceries and then hopefully have some time to decorate a bit. After that, I will take pictures and show y’all my ‘new’ home. 😀 -T

  • I’m still moving…. There’s a lot of little things that I have collected over the years and it takes time to get it all sorted. I’m hoping to get the bulk of it at least packed up today and then move the last bits of furniture tomorrow night. Wish me luck!!! 😀 -T

  • Something amazing I learned this weekend is the power of connections. Those that we make between people, but also those we become aware of in our lives. For example, I was thinking this morning how while I am moving out and away from R, which feels like the end of something; it is actually the beginning of something new. This action is connected to a better future – with or without being in…

  •   Doing life coaching sessions with Karen really turned me on to the idea that it is something I could actually do as well. People have told me that I’m a good listener and that I often have wise/good advice to give when asked. So, when a friend of mine said he was taking coaching classes in Dubai, I became curious! After looking at the CTI site for Dubai and thinking for a…
