I like to think I am a very down to earth kinda person. My idea of luxury seems to be very different to most people’s. I am an incurable romantic. I am incredibly touched by little things. Things that most overlook. A warm hug, a gorgeous sunset, a caring gesture. Our world nowadays is soContinue reading “it’s the little things”

mitigating distance
The Pandemic kept us all away from our dear ones for far too long. I mean, it’s bad enough going through that living in the same country, let along when all your extended family members and friends are in different countries. But this is a new experience for me. I am meeting my best friendContinue reading “mitigating distance”
Ethiquette
You must have noticed by now, I do love a bit of neologism, making new words up whenever it fits. Today I’m gonna touch on the forsaken and underrated ethics topic. People don’t value it enough to blog about it anymore. I feel ethics still deserves its place in the world, now more than ever.Continue reading “Ethiquette”
on holiday mode
We’re still at the airport security queues. Just joking! We eventually got to the beach. After all unpacking ( I realized I actually brought so much clothes that I don’t expect to wear any twice for the two weeks), and much needed commute recharge, we head to the beach as priority. My beach days haveContinue reading “on holiday mode”
Travel faffing
I love watching people at airports. There’s something fascinating about guessing where people come from, where are they going, what’s their travelling purpose. People are rushing like dizzy roaches to get through security, to go the toilet, to quickly find a good bargain in a shop, to check the boarding gates. When everyone is faffingContinue reading “Travel faffing”
clustomer intimacy
For someone with the little recognized writing experience as I have, it is hard to find the right topic to write about. “Write about what you know well, write about what you enjoy” people and peers tell me. That’s easier said than done. I do read people really well, and I deal with many differentContinue reading “clustomer intimacy”
normality.com
I question if the concept of normality is the same today as it was two years ago. We can talk about a new normality perhaps, because we will never go back to the same normality we had prior to Covid. Work: even some though some of us are gradually returning to the office, the vastContinue reading “normality.com”
calendars, scheduling and time
Today I decided to have a full review of my calendar. Not in the sense that I am over booked or even fully booked but I need to know where I’m using my time on and which time slots I can remove, replace or move around to make sure my time is being spent effectively.Continue reading “calendars, scheduling and time”
no more smileys please!
#rantalert (Just in case the heading was not clear enough). Nothing puts me off more in reading emails than the ones that have smileys on the subject. It’s just… No. They are fun and colourful in the body text. Don’t add them to your subject. It strikes me as a terribly desperate call for attention.Continue reading “no more smileys please!”
7 low cost holidays
why Portugal? Why not? It’s a country with a tremendously rich culture. It’s a shame that most people are not aware of its history. It’s a warm country. The people are welcoming. The food is absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The nightlife (as you would expect from a warm country) is inviting and fun. During the Summer, BCContinue reading “7 low cost holidays”
