i wish for….

Posted October 20th, 2009 by mayni | No Comments

Sometimes, I wish I was free from all my responsibilities and the burden I seem to shoulder day in and out. My life is not that different from a million others out there. But yet, why do I feel like all the problems are mine alone to understand? These days, more often than not, I [...]

generation x…or y…

Posted October 16th, 2009 by mayni | 3 Comments

So I was having lunch the other day with two older colleagues, one in her 40s, the other in his 50s when they started talking about the problem with the younger generations these days (both looking and nodding their head at me). Apparently, generation ys are quick to blame other people, lack a sense of [...]

photography

Posted October 15th, 2009 by mayni | No Comments

A few of my friends have picked up photography in recent years and have actually done very well for themselves. As a matter of fact, one of my friends gave up his job and now work as a freelance photographer. It makes me wonder though – if it looks so easy, wouldn’t that mean that [...]

recycling

Posted October 15th, 2009 by mayni | 2 Comments

Recycling is becoming a big thing here. You can see changes everywhere – shopping centres charging for plastic bags, more recycling bins, even my work place no longer has rubbish bins at each desk – instead we have recycling boxes with a few bins strategically (or at least they think so) placed at certain areas [...]

One of the perks of my job is I get to meet people from all over the world. Ok, not so much all over the world but other parts of Asia…and, ok, sometimes, it’s more of a torture than a perk. Anyway, most of the people whom I do meet have a less than ideal [...]

I have been having alot of headache trying to figure out what the best way is to leave Indy whenever I go away on my travels. Do I leave him home alone or do I leave him at a friend’s place? There is alot of pros and cons to each one. Personally, I think he [...]

big personalities

Posted October 9th, 2009 by mayni | No Comments

First of all, I am not referring to my multiple personalities. I am, in fact, referring to the many people whom I have met over the many years of my life. I’d say that when I meet someone for the first time, my mind goes through this: Yes, I click with you – let’s talk [...]

being absent minded

Posted October 8th, 2009 by mayni | 2 Comments

I am getting old. I accept it as part and parcel of life (mainly because it is inevitable and there is nothing I can do about it). Almost hitting the big 3-0 has been a concern for me – I am pretty certain I have mentioned it a couple of times previously in my blog. [...]

the ideal relationship

Posted October 7th, 2009 by mayni | 1 Comment

Lately, I have been pondering on this subject. What is an ideal relationship? I read somewhere a long time ago that there are three types of relationships – compensating, compatible or familiar. Or in other words, along the lines of needy, compatible and paternal/maternal relationships. Obviously, I have never been in a compatible one but [...]

I have been rather sick lately *read: the reason why I haven’t been blogging*. I just spent the last five days resting in bed, fully aware that my blog needed to be updated – soon. In fact, it presented itself as such a top priority in my moment of sickness that each time as I [...]
