Career thoughts

When you are working in our industry, business card printing sure is handy. Nothing like whipping out your business card to prospective clients to assist them in remembering you of what you can offer for their organisation.

But then again, it really is not my job description to do all that marketing stuff. Sure, I can handle enquiries about the services we offer, but I am not paid to go out on a limb to draw all these potential clients in. Not my cup of tea, as they say. I am pretty new in this field of specialisation, so I am still getting used to all the client contact and the management of their cases. One thing I am sure though is that I cannot see myself doing this type of work for a long time.

More on shopping

Did I mention shopping?

I am pretty much your basic kind of girl, going for the types of clothes that are safe and classic. And that goes for lingerie as well, although I may have my splurges on the really lovely ones. But that is only when they have been hugely discounted, because they do tend to be quite expensive if you bought them at the original retail price.

Anyway, enough of this nonstop blogging. It is Monday today, so I must get off my tired bum and get some sort of work done.

Fussy Buyer

The shopping never ends. Yes, for some time now, I reckon I am turning into a shopaholic! LOL. Well, I try not to. Besides, they are basic stuff that I do need, and it is just a matter of finding the right one, and making sure they're the best buy out there. One of the few things left on my list is good handbag, a nice watch and maybe a few more tops which I can wear for work. Not much left and sounds easy to purchase, hey? NOT! I can be quite fussy and undecisive, which is why it is still taking me ages to buy these things. They have been on my list for a at least a year now. So I may be a shopaholic, but I am not an impulsive one at that! :)

Zit Zap

I have had my fair share of yucky zits in my lifetime. Ever notice how they pop up out of the blue, just in time when you're attending this very important meeting or going out on a special date? Yeah, terribly inconsiderate! I haven't found a really good adult acne cure in crises like these. So far, I've tried toothpaste and other facial creams that promise you the world and, of course, clearer skin... NOT! For now, I will believe it when I do see it.

Less talk

Whatever it is that I am doing, well, it surely is working. It is like diet pills that work, only there are no pills involved, which is a plus! I do reckon it is the stress from work, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And maybe I am not eating well too. LOL. And yet, amidst all this weight loss (I checked yesterday, and I have lost about 6-8 lbs!), I am still not fit. I really should thinking about more seriously. I am just not sure where I could fit it into my oh-so-busy schedule. Not even there yet, and here I am with the excuses! LOL. Right. Less talk, more work please!

Weight buster

Yes, I have undoubtedly lost a significant amount of weight. As to how much, I really have not checked to get a specific figure. All I know is that I can easily fit into one of my pre-birth dresses, which I have already accepted not to be able to fit into ever since I gave birth to my little girl. It is a size 8.

A real eye-opener was when I went into one of the shops in the city to try on a pair of jeans, and discovered that a size 8 was just too big for me now. I used to be a size 10 or 11, but it seems now that I may be down to a 6 for pants! True, I have managed to reduce belly fat to a significant smaller size, but I hope it is not indicative of any serious health issue. Just to be on the safe side, I am seeing our GP in a couple of weeks so, until then, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is just stress that's behind it, and nothing more.

You Should Live in a Green House



You are a peaceful person who always seeks out quiet and solitude. You love nothing better than a long walk, and you probably prefer to live near nature. You are a good listener, but you always need down time to recharge after being around others. You usually fit in anywhere. You blend well, and you're happy to sit back and observe.

What Color House Should You Live In?

I would have agreed 100% except that I don't like green! I am quite a classic person, and would prefer neutral colours, especially when it comes to things like houses and clothes. Boring I know, but I would not have it any other way. :P

Oh, and speaking of houses, no motorhomes for me as well. I am not one to be lugging my home everywhere I go, and having to worry about motorhome towing as I travel. To each his own, I guess.

Big Day

Yep, big day tomorrow, for me at least. I have my citizenship appointment scheduled tomorrow and I am hoping to pass the examination with flying colours. LOL! If I am successful enough, worrying about visas will be a thing of the past, and me and my family will all be travelling with blue passports.

I just need to make sure I've loaded up our prepaid visa, in case there are any other fees that need to be paid tomorrow. It certainly can be expensive, but I suppose it is all worth it. After all, it is a life changing moment, and the world could be whole lot different with all the privileges I may be entitled to. Wish me luck!
