Wish I Had A Windfall
It amazes me how winners of super lotteries end up in financial ruin after a few years. The odds of winning the jackpot is surely a million to one - why waste the chance of lifetime and lose it all eventually? That being said, I'm getting myself ready for a windfall. I've listed all the things I would do if I win a million dirhams (or dollars/euro/pounds/whatever) so I won't be caught by surprise and buy the whole stock of Tiffany & Co. at the Mall of the Emirates.
my precioussss...
(how delicious it looks and all for $800! mere loose change)

I Think I Will Go To Cyprus
A few weeks after Hanoi, I became restless. Wanderlust has descended upon me again. But please get me out of Asia. I want to go to Europe or Africa. Not USA because I'm still holding a bitter grudge because they didn't give me a visa. Get over yourself Uncle Sam!!! (As you can see, the issue is still sensitive).
I played with random geographical coordinates in random.org and clicked the random button on wikitravel.com and eventually decided on Cyprus. I hope everything goes well, visa-wise. It's going to be difficult if I begin hating another country.

If I Got Pregnant on the Day I Last Blogged....
Yes it has been nine months since my last entry.
Not that nothing exciting happened in my life. On the contrary! In the past nine months:
- I managed to hold on to my job
- Got myself my own apartment (a tiny studio, but still!)
- Joined a nearby Christian church, improved my church attendance and recommitted myself to God
- Traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam
However, I am extremely lazy when it comes to blogging, even my physical journal has suffered from word hunger.
So here I am again, attempting to blog more often.
(by the way, no child was formed during this self imposed "sabbatical". I might adopt another cat though)

Hiatus
Two reasons for my hiatus:
- intermittent internet access
- laziness
Now I have internet 24/7 so I am left with no excuses.
Posting will begin again on the 1st of April, 2009. Some will be flashbacks since I took some photos after December 16 but didn't get around to blog about it.

The Last Sentence Sums It Up Nicely

Kent Keith - People Are Often Unreasonable
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

While Real Troublemakers Are Running Free....
John Coleman has been given a 6 month suspension which led to his quitting as Drum Major of Cleveland Memorial Pipes and Drums for waving at President Obama during the inauguration.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
