Resigned from nursing position. Found my significant other. Started new gig. Spent 6 weeks in Melbourne, Florida and 2.5 weeks in Wellington, New Zealand. Got lucky and was …
I freaking aced it. Salary after tax is good enough to live comfortably on. 28 days of annual leave, plus 11 days of public holidays. Bring it on.
In between leveling a priest to 80, reading Malcolm Gladwell's 'Outliers', spending time with the significant other and getting in some runs once in a while, there isn't much time left over to do anything else, really. *** Almost everyone has an internal shadow, that side of oneself that not many see but which is there anyway. It can be about the dark thoughts you think, …
I want to believe. But these are the people who voted for George Bush. Twice. I need to believe. Because sometimes, hope is all that we have. The world awaits.
Got upgraded to a junior suite on my last change of hotel. Happiness! Apparently, Snoop Dog was staying here a day before I checked in. Dang it!
I've been in Windy Wellies - as I like to call it - for eight days now, and the cold, strong winds + rain is rather refreshing. And this is supposed to be Spring. More evidence of global warming, surely. Did some traipsing all over the city on my first weekend last week, and also went on a LOTR day tour despite me not being a big fan. The city area is not really big, …

Day 5 in Wellington, New Zealand, and I've changed hotels twice. There's one more to come! Will definitely blog more about Wellington, probably during this coming weekend.
Bags packed. All ready to leave for New Zealand. Problem is, the city I'm heading to sits on a major fault line.I'm betting 10 cents that New Zealand will have a major quake while I'm there.Any takers?
Space (and by default, space exploration) has always fascinated me, and since I've been to the Disney theme parks in Orlando, Florida, I decided to visit the Kennedy Space Center while I was in the vicinity 2+ months ago.I took the NASA Up Close guided tour (US$61.28), and it gave me access to all the rides, IMAX movies and a 2.5 hour guided bus tour of the Space Shuttle …
Paying peanuts get you monkeys, eh? The people behind this financial mess were paid tens of millions, and look at where it has gotten us. If you are greedy at heart, getting more money just makes you greedier for more. Something to think about.
During sex, the average man lasts 5 minutes before ejaculating.And because I know facts like these I've been called childish. Whatever.You either accept me for who I am and come along for the ride, or you are free to get off at any stop and walk home alone.
If you force your employees to contribute a certain sum for a charity drive, that's not called a donation.It's called a mandatory deduction, and that's just not charitable.
