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)
