Bonds are a funny thing- it transcends time, space all of the other good stuff. Kinda like how when we find a new old friend on facebook- its a mildly surreal feeling, in particular when said person is from a life past.
This girl saw this on TV the other day, the story of Christian the [...]

A friend recovering from cancer led this girl to re-read this charge in 1 Peter 3:1-7 on wives and husbands:
1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they [...]

This girl is on a two week (thereabout) Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince countdown! Yay! She cannot wait!

One supposes that this girl is at the age where her friends are mostly getting engaged, married or having kids. The engagements and weddings are mainly happy, frantic affairs; busy and anxious but rarely overly dramatic. Where kids are concerned, it has been nothing short of heart stopping, breath taking and dramatic; and she’s had [...]
hell hath no fury, Pt II

This girl and The Boy spent the day at home battling insipid contractors and entertained themselves at the myriad reports following the AWARE EGM that they attended. And here are a few moments and reports that stood out:
1. The “Shut up and Sit down” moment
(Video here) Near the start of the meeting as the crowd [...]

This girl (and The Boy) spent last Saturday attending the extraordinary AWARE meeting with some two thousand other women and men. As most from the island nation will know, the saga has been brewing for over a month (you can read about it here) and things finally came to a head in a requisitioned EGM [...]

This girl has resolved that she’d do her best to be more tech savvy this year. She’s got herself a new ipod touch, a new lappy (ok, last year’s buy) and the new mac Mobile Me which gives her a virtual desktop anywhere she goes. She’s got online calendars which help her stop double booking [...]

The new year has come so suddenly. Its like before this girl could take a deep breath and brace for the onslaught of the new year, its already a week in and the new year seems to have a way of sneaking up on her. Even when she thinks she’s ready for it- though its [...]

This girl has been battling herself over what she would like to do workwise. She’s got a few options sitting pretty on her plate waiting for her to either: start on it (these are new business projects), or agree to take it up (these are mainly consulting work). Each has their own merits, their own [...]
a little all over the place
Posted in adventure, life learnings, the sock shop on October 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Its rare that this girl finds herself misfooted. She’s usually rock solid and in control. She usually knows what she’s doing, what she wants and how to get there. She’s rather unflappable and well sorted out mentally and emotionally. She’s good at maps and planning and she works great under pressure and in crisis situations. [...]

This girl is nursing what must be her worst bout of jet lag. She’s achey, she doesn’t sleep for long and her eating cycles are all out of whack. Her skin is dry and sensitive, she gets tiny but annoying bouts of headaches and she is emotionally out of sorts. And of course, for the [...]
the mad rush

After what seems to be forever, this girl has arrived on the West Side of the States. She’s writing from oh-so-windy-grey’s-anatomy-rainswept Seattle after almost not making it here.
As is the case with domestic States flights, her flight to San Franciso, where she was en route to Seattle, was severely delayed and she got routed to [...]

This girl spent the day at a business conference, a global summit held by a leading NY fashion house. It was elegantly done and, much to this girl’s surprise, the day passed quickly and enjoyably with much to talk and discuss with the fellow participants and members of the host.
It was all very che che [...]
struggling with limbo, drowning in busy
Posted in Life in the Town House, adventure, the boy, the sock shop, travel on September 10, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This girl and The Boy are finally moving into the Town House this coming weekend and its been a mad flurry of packing and decluttering and getting the place ready. The poor part-time maid cleans alot and will be facing loads and loads of washing and ironing in the weeks to come since this girl’s [...]
a little downtime would be nice
Posted in adventure, new things, the boy, the sock shop on August 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The funny thing about this girl being so busy these days is that when it is all systems go, she’s got the boundless store of energy that she was so accustomed to when she started working. Energies are up, engines are fired and she blitz. Meetings stack upon meetings, projects open into more projects, good [...]
