It’s hard to write about my day job, because like many, it’s just not my business or my story to tell. I’d rather talk about things closer to me, things that match my goals. Tomorrow I leave the same place after two years, what have been the highlights and the lowlights? Well, me […]

Am I Scared of Jewellery?
Am I scared of jewellery? The thought popped into my head the other day, seemingly out of nowhere. Though I was reading a lot of blogs at the time, so someone probably mentioned it. I don’t wear jewellery. I never really liked it. I have some, the usual kind, gifts from being a […]
Balance
I’ve been working hard in the past week on maintaining a balance. It has been hard. Work, applying for jobs, interviews, hot days with high humidity…last week was very long. I’m happy with the balance I found. But what I was a bit shocked at was the effort it took to maintain the balance. […]
Blogging for Uni
Education is not something I blog about often but it is something that is important to me. I’m not a great fan of traditional systems but learning in general. It doesn’t matter what you learn, it matters that you learn. Some people go on to do awesome, world-changing things it’s their studies, some become corporate […]
How To Store Decks of Cards
We live a particularly wild life these days. As we were playing SNAP! I realised we had no other way of keeping the cards together than by the usual rubber band & hope it all stays together. So I dug in the cupboard and dragged out a spare Sistema “KLIP IT”. A […]
Back To Study
As soon as I finished my undergraduate degree, I started thinking about postgraduate studies. That could just be because in Anthropology you’re encouraged to do honours, then a PhD. Or it could be because I’m a glutton for study punishment. For whatever reason, I am always searching for the perfect postgrad course to do. […]
A Confession
With the announcement yesterday of the details of ProBlogger Event 2014, I have a little confession to make. I still haven’t listened to the sessions I didn’t attend last year. I downloaded them all, they’ve all been downloaded on my iPhone pretty much since the conference. So I have no excuse, in reality. I’ve […]
Beach Date
After hiding out at home in the air conditioning from a very hot day today, I started to go a little stir crazy. I needed to get out. So we decided to go get some dinner and eat it at the beach. We called up our favourite local Thai restaurant and ordered a large […]
Meditation
Meditating isn’t something that comes easily to me. And I still hear the word and think it’s a bit wankery. But that touches on other issues that are too complicated to go into here. We had to meditate in a class at school a few times. I think the first time was a once off, in […]
Give Yourself Permission
There are many obligations and commitments in life. And that’s fine, to a degree. Sometimes these obligations and commitments help us get things done. Other times, it’s just all too much. Like right now, I have blogging, searching for a new day job, an irritatingly persistent head cold…let alone any other parts of life like […]
