This year, I decided to keep my birthday pretty low key. In the past, I had a party at a bar, but I found that I just didn’t get to spend quality time with my friends. So instead of having 2 birthday parties this year, I decided to have brunch with a few of my [...]

Happy Halloween everyone. Unfortunately, I’m also temporarily offline and unavailable. I really should not have gone to work yesterday. And feeling absolutely dreadful. I woke up in the middle in the night in a panic, and called a friend of mine. Who in turn yelled at me for going to work. [...]

This morning I stopped by Duane Reade to buy Advil Cold & Sinus for my cold.  Only to find out that I need to bring a card to the pharmicist.  If this is an OTC med, why do I have to sign a log to get simple cold medicine.  I didn’t have to do this [...]

This has by far been the best birthday.   And definitely full of surprises.  There are no words that can really describe how I feel.  Frankly, I’m at lost at how to articulate the whole experience.  Everything was so memorable.  Including the delicious strawberry cake my friend Rob brought to my annual shin dig.  But the [...]

I find that when I’m on the train, my mind tends to wander.  Especially in the past 2 weeks.  It’s been about 9 years since my father passed and since I’ve been out of school.  Remember on your first job interview, your interviewer would ask you where you saw yourself in 10 years. It really [...]

I’m one year older today. I suppose I’m a bit wiser. But now I’m one step closer to 40. In 30 minutes it will be T-365 days till my next birthday. I’ve been up since 5 am and have been pretty much running on caffeine. No, I do not have any [...]

It’s been a week since I’ve been back from my trip.  And I just want to go back on holiday, right now.  But I will have settle for my comfy bed.  I’m totally detoxed and a bit under the weather.  I have bronchospasm. What the hell is that.  Apparently, it’s bronchitis with asthma.  And it [...]

Can I say how much I hate being sick.  It always starts with the darn sore throat.   I haven’t left my apartment since I got home on Friday.  I’ve taken both my eastern and western medication.  I’m not taking any chance.  I like to have my bases covered.  My plans for this weekend got totally [...]

There is one thing I hate about rain when it hot and humid.  The mosquitoes start coming out of the woodwork.  I woke up last night to find 3 mosquito bites on my arm.  Then I discovered the little rascal even bite my toe. Bah!  It’s itchy.  Well more numb.  Feels like I have frostbite.  [...]

How can I just zone out. And unaware of the occurences around me.  Thoughtfulness is meaningless.   It means nothing to people.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  The good thing does not exist.  If it did, then it would be worth something.  The emptiness just looms.
