Saying the wrong thing

You know when you say something and you immediately regret it? You know that as soon as you step away from the conversation that you're going to be vilified and judged for the things you've chosen to say. And often times, or at-least within my contexts, they're never things that aren't particularly mean or in …

same mistake?

Oh gosh. I've often wondered how people can be stupid enough to make the same mistake twice, yet here I am, about to make the same stupid mistake again. And quite level-headed too I may add (at-least I think I am, maybe you mentally can't be level-headed if you make the same mistake twice). Now …

To be perfectly candid..

To be perfectly Candid... I don't like raw fish I don't like the texture nor the taste. But I do love sushi with cooked fish/meats. I'm hypocritical. I often advise people to do things that I myself can't do. I chastise people for making the same mistakes that I do. I scoff at people not …

I have a love/hate relationship with entertaining

I love entertaining, almost as much as I hate it. First off, it's important to establish that when I say 'Entertain', I mean organising events and gatherings for people rather than performing. When you entertain people, you have the fun of planning it.  I know that some people hate the early stages of entertaining guests, …

decisions, decisions, decisions

I feel like I have quite a few important decisions to make in the not so distant future. Unfortunately, I am a terrible decision maker. Well, it's not that I make bad decisions persay, it's that I can't make a decision in the first place. I'm terribly, inconveniently, indecisive. I have one more year of …

Book Review: The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul

This year, I have a goal to read at-least one book a week. It's something that I love doing, yet over the past couple of years, have noticed myself neglecting. Whether it be because I didn't have enough time, or simply because I chose to spend my time doing other things, I'm excited to get …

Finally!

Finally, 'tis the end of the year! I've heard so many of the same people say "Wow, I can't believe how fast this year has gone!", but they've said it so many years consecutively, that I think they should readjust their perspective of time. If it's gone so quick for so many years, surely it …

appreciation post #3

Currently 1/12/18 but appreciation for Sunday the 31st of December, 2017. Today was the last day of 2018. I picked up a shift at a store I've never worked at before, but I was glad to find that everyone was super kind! Today I'll pay my appreciation to the manager on duty. He was so …

Almost

Almost is so tragic. It's just about there, but not quite yet. It can hold so much optimism, and it can bring so much relief. I acknowledge it can be a word full of hope, a word deserving of a pat on the back because 'Hey! You almost made it!', it's tragic because it sometimes turns …

appreciation post #1

Friday the 29th of December, 2017. Today, I'm going to stop and appreciate my sisters. We went out and had dinner together at our favourite Korean restaurant (ChangGo), in between their day job shifts, and their bartending shift later tonight. Both have just started new jobs working as call centre operators; one for ANZ and …
