I’m part of an online group that works through Julia Cameron’s book The Artist’s Way together. The Artist’s Way (TAW for short) is a 12 week program to (re-) discover the creativity that everybody has within themselves. I’ve attempted to complete this course several times on my own in the past four years, but I [...]
Feelings

The day isn’t over yet and I’ve felt tired, sweaty, angry, hungry, happy and grateful already. I found the website wefeelfine today and the creators are fascinated by all the emotions people all over the world feel. They’ve developed a program that searches the web for the words “I feel” and “I’m feeling” from thousands [...]
Lilly Rose tagged me for a meme in which I have to reveal 6 secrets about myself. Well ok, you asked for it!
I sing so badly that it even hurts my own ears
I don’t like showing my knees, because I was such a tomcat as a kid they have quite a few scars
I’ve stopped watching [...]
Tattoes
Posted on November 09, 2008 at 8:45pm in NaBloPoMo, Reflection
I’ve never liked tattoes. Or piercings. Although piercings are not as bad as tattoes, because if you get tired of them, you can just remove them and they’ll just leave a small whole, whereas tattoes are for life. Of course you can get them removed, but that would cost quite a lot of money. Whenever [...]
Settling In

Yay, I moved into my new apartment this morning! I took some pictures, just to give you an idea. Now I need to unpack, add some personal touches and make the place my own. I brought my wooden Buddha statue and my wish jar from Ireland to make me feel at home. I had to [...]
I signed the contract for my new apartment today and I’ll be moving in tomorrow. While I was looking for a place to live, two members of my staff were too. One of them sent me a link of an apartment that they would love to rent, but it was too expensive for them. The [...]
Moving and Settling
Posted on November 06, 2008 at 10:30pm in Living in Manila, NaBloPoMo
The owner of the apartment I wrote about on Monday did not agree with my offer, so I had to continue my search for a place to live. I was a bit disappointed, but not too surprised. I’d like to think that when something doesn’t work out, something better will come along. I met with [...]
Festive Season
Posted on November 05, 2008 at 10:35pm in Living in Manila, NaBloPoMo
Arriving in Manila Airport on 1 November, one of the first things I saw was staff decorating a Christmas tree near the gates. The past few days I was amazed to notice that the Philippines are wholeheartedly preparing for Christmas already, even though it’s only the first week of November. Christmas trees, fairy lights, snowmen [...]
Hong Kong Highlights

After leaving Dublin last week we first spent a few days in Hong Kong. Wow! What a city! I’m posting a few pictures here, so you can see what I mean, as I don’t think I can put it into words…
Somewhere between Dublin and Hong Kong
Yes, we’re really there!
The stunning view from Victoria Peak
Being a [...]
Today was the first day in the Manila office. When we arrived, people looked surprised and a bit panicky. It turned out that not only hadn’t they expected us until next week, they had also expected just one person instead of three. Talking about miscommunication… Basically there was no room for us in our current [...]
