Goodbye - Hello

He's done it.
My husband submitted he's resignation paper. The first step has been taken, we are definitely moving on.

It's a bit surreal for me, even though in fact I have ample time to process the idea in my head. It still is surprising for me.

I guess I am bound to this place and people that to part from it is like leaving a home.
Oh well, this is what life is all about...constant change.

The greatest advice

I received a book for my birthday. The giver told me that from this gift, I could have everything I ever wanted.

Hard to believe I thought, but as I started to read, understand and apply. I start to believe in the books promise.

It's so easy when you get the hang of it. Start with small things it says, and when you get it its easier to goal for grander things.
What does the book contain you ask?

In a nut shell, when you want something... Ask, believe your going to receive it, never doubt and give thanks to the Lord.
Its that simple.
Now give it a try...

Kids?

Children... perfect picture of innocence and naivety. But lo! what do I see? Are they kids or adult midgets?

That's what we see now, children in adult clothes. You can even see them in T.V. Have you ever opened the tube and not see children wearing sexy clothes with heavy make-up? Even singing songs meant for adults that they don't even comprehend? Dancing provocatively. What is this? No wonder there are many cases of child abuse nowadays.

Are we in a hurry making kids grow-up? I even watch a documentary involving child stars with one successful little girl saying: "I don't want to be a star, I just want to be a normal little girl."
Why wont we let them? Let's not spoil their fun. Let them be kids. Let's not spoil their childhood for they wont be like that again. Let them dream, play and have their chance. We had ours once, isn't it unfair if we sneak them away from that world of wonder?

Think about it..

Coffee Break

Sitting at starbucks sipping my black coffee, all alone.
Enjoying this time for myself.

I have to admit, sometimes being alone is bliss.
It’s the time I let my imagination go wild and I pretend I'm someone else.

A bit schizo. for you?
Nah, I'm still sane. It’s just my way of escaping my reality even for just a few minutes.
How about you? What's your escape?

Travelling by bus

A very busy day, but I can’t hide the smile on my lips.

I'm bound for Dubai. Just the thought of seeing my friends there again after a long time is such a breath of fresh air.

Traveling by bus for an hour and a half is a small price to pay just to talk and hug them. A true family with no blood ties.

The day pass so fast, it seems I just reached here a few minutes ago. The sun started to set beaconing me to go. And so, I'm back in the bus on my way home. And what do you know? My other friends are also there waiting for me. So blessed...

I need coffee

Hah, morning again... Time to start over things I've done yesterday with just a few variations.
Make coffee (my very important day starter), sit in fron of the computer and spy on my friends in the internet. Later on clean-up the place and so on till my husband arrives from work.

Sometimes I dont feel so productive at all. Comparing to when I was still working, earning my own money and having money. Being domestic is a sabatical for me, a total turn around from my life before. Being able to go out anytime I like after work, go with friends without no curfew or time limit. And come home with no one to take care of but yourself. But still have a job the next day and feel important again. Missed those days...

New year of my life

Another year passed, a chapter finished and so it a new one begins...
WOW!
Till now still cant believe how much happend in this year...

Its the first time I ride with company on a plane and he's my husband
I got the chance to go back to UAE with no plans at all
Able to see and be with my friends again
Got the chance to relive part of my Dubai life
Transfered to Abudhabi abruptly
Met new people and made new friends
Then suddenly told after a 3 week vacation that we are going to migrate to another country

So blessed...I cant keep-up, getting old.
