An opportunity was handed to me today and I was so excited I could hardly work. It's amazing how God is so good to me. Change is scary and can be uncomfortable - but this change I'm about to take...it just feels right.

Maybe an Aquarius

Someone once mistook me for an Aquarius. According to him these traits described me:

Optimistic and honest.
Sweet personality.
Very independent.
Inventive and intelligent.
Friendly and loyal.
Can seem unemotional.
Can be a bit rebellious.
Very stubborn, but original and unique.
Attractive on the inside and out.
Eccentric personality.

Hmmm.... almost 98% accurate. However, I was wasn't born an Aquarius. This reinforces my disinterest and unbelief in the zodiac. But it sure is nice though to be thought of as an Aquarian.

This is my sister's rocking chair which she bought in Ikea for Dhs 375. Aggie included a similar one (or the same one I suspect) in her wedding registry but it costs Php11,850 (which makes it nearly three times the cost of my sister's) in Manila. It must be the taxes or the seller's horrendous markup.

I went to Abu Dhabi and visited my sister, Pam, on her birthday. We watched a movie, shopped and had dinner at Noodle House. We definitely don't look alike.

The perils of having OC tendencies: I can't sleep when I want to because I am driven to do all the little rituals I feel I have to accomplish before signing off for the night. But I do "cheat" a little and catch a power nap before I resume my eccentricities.

I am currently watching "Thirteen Conversations About One Thing". I realized that I've seen this movie before and I'm watching it again because stories about ordinary people piques my interest. I don't remember how this movie ends - I'd like to find out again.

Tonight I am making pasta with zucchini and mushrooms. Nothing fancy - I just plan to toss it with garlic and olive oil. Anything with garlic and olive oil usually tastes good.
