Enter the Grumbles
Marika likes to ramble. And I like to grumble. Not because I’m a negative or enjoy complaining. But I find a guilty pleasure of grumbling my annoyances. In fact I know I shouldn’t. But I feel like it nonetheless. Also I really am at a loss of what to write about… but grumbling… that comes…

Sleepless Update Part 2
Not sleeping slows your reactions considerably. But still I am ready for tomorrow’s work. Needless to say I will need large amounts of coffee to get through the day. Then again this isn’t something I haven’t done in the past. All that remains is a considerable amount of writing I need to finish before I…

Sleepless Night
I really ought to go to sleep now. My bosses will hate me for dragging myself into work zombie style. But I can’t help it. I plan on getting a few things done before I get up… or rather before I go to sleep. Or even more accurate before the time I want to get…

Echo: Good Little Girl Syndrome
In response to Marika’s post: Hmm… ok my opinion might not be the most popular but since you asked. Women are women. Men are men. They are built differently, so why shouldn’t they act, interact and work differently? I’m not endorsing sexist division of any form here. I firmly believe that every individual should be…

An Empty Day
I’ve been waiting for one of these days for a long time. This is the kind of day, where you ask. “So what should I do?” And the world answers, “Whatever you’d like.” I plan on calling such days “empty days”. An empty day is not really empty. Rather these days act just like the…

Coping with Disappointment
Disappointments turn up everyday. Sometimes it can be personal like a lost love, a deathly sick relative, a bad business decision or any kind of personal loss. If you run out personal worries, the newspaper will happily provide more: war, crime, job losses, a bad economy, overzealous governments, et cetera ad nauseum. At times it…

Things That Work, Things That Don’t
As usual I like to experiment on various hacks to improve myself and enrich my life. Actually recently I have been actively trying to distract my mind from other issues. Along the way I like to record what worked and what didn’t. Blogging on a touchscreen cellphone works as a compromise of convenience. Writing on…

Good Friday
Today is Good Friday. So while a statuary holiday in Canada, I’m not on holiday today. Rather I have much to do, so I’ll keep this post short. I wish everyone a great Good Friday and a happy Easter. A reminder that God loved you so much He sent His only Son to die (in…

Patience and the Art of the Tortoise
Observing nature teaches us many things. This week I look towards the stone tortoise for inspiration. On my last trip to Poland, one of my mother’s university friends gave me a farewell gift. She gave me a tiny red stone tortoise statue, to keep on my desk and to inspire me. She said it should…

Just Another Sigh
I was going to blog something cool but today I’m drawing a blank. I could review my new nifty toy: a Nokia 5800 cellphone. But other people did so already, and got paid for it. I don’t feel like writing a review for free today. It works well as both a cellphone and portable media…
