Nobody likes dealing with complaints. They’re like a hot potatoe everyone avoids and pushes away, for someone else to deal. It’s also not something that anybody can deal. It requires a psychological thought process, the ability to empathize while distancing, an a hell lot of diplomacy. You will find that most of the dealings withContinue reading “moans and groans”

Greek memories
Coming from different countries to meet, we landed at different times. Sonia arrived in Greece 4 hours before me, which meant that she had to find something to occupy her time until I arrived. I told her to check in at the hotel, rather than lying around on her own. Being in a different countryContinue reading “Greek memories”
it’s the little things
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”
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”
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!”
pastel de nata
If you have been to Portugal (and no, Portugal is not part of Spain), you know that the main reference baked good is this infamous custard tart. It’s a real unique treat. The fact that it comes in such a small size tricks us into believing it is not a so sinful one. I guessContinue reading “pastel de nata”
Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Travelling?
Got a bit distracted with courses and all-things writing but the lockdown has not taken the best off of me yet. The days have noticeably become bigger. Bigger and sunnier. It’s still a bit chilly but it’s starting to look a lot like Spring. Finally we see the light! We can say we know toContinue reading “Shhhh… Listen! Do You Hear The Sound Of Travelling?”
