Last Day in 2008

So...it's almost over.

People keep talking of "New Year's Resollution", and it's great! But it really makes me ponder; so, you need to make a list in order to keep your life in some kind of order? Do I need one? Who are those that need one anyway? Am I that bad to make one, to make my life better?

And so on...

I ended up with one thing actually, and it's to get a new diary to jot down 2009 month by month. Since I'm in the writing domain, then documenting my new year in a different country, would definitely be worthwhile :)

Have you made one?

To me it's usually the same. Though I never made a full length list- a mental list, that is- they're only a couple each year, and I'm glad to have achieved them, if not respectively, but they came with time.

One of which is to do well in my career as a university teacher, and to stand my ground and prove that I'm worthy of respect.

And I'm glad...

Me...Myself...and...

When you’re young, you never get to realise how foolish you are only till you grow up and mature. Such is not the case with everyone, of course, for some have had an ideal childhood, all respectable and flawless...so to speak.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I had an appalling past or anything, no. The idea I’m trying to correspond here, is the fact that there is a proportion of people who have a difficulty in expressing their true emotions, their hidden anxieties established thereon.

In terms of having fun, as a child, I’ve had loads of it. I was born, raised, and lived outside of Libya, for many years. I knew a lot about Libya, owing to our (my family and I) annual summer visits. I remember truly well, how overwhelmed my sisters and I were whenever we were there. The sand, the palm trees, the heat, the running around barefoot! lol.

Those were the old days. The overwhelming continued to a point in time. As I grew older, my eyes getting wider (figuratively) taking in the world around me, the whole thing changed. Relatives whom you loved so much and cherished sorta transfer into insufferable nuisances; not all of them, however.

Some used to call us abroad and nag when are we to come back and settle down in our homeland. That really made us long to it, and we finally decided to come back...

And here I am, years through living here. Quite remarkable, I say. It’s been a series of squishing and squashing, that, looking back at it all, a smile surprisingly quirks my lips. The first year was extremely exciting; being new and fresh in a place is kinda fun. But then, as times washes by, you see the true coloring of life around you. You suddenly feel the importance of time, which was once the leading aspect in our lives (come on! Switzerland! You can set your time on the people around you!)

Sometimes, going into details could be painful and stressful, so, I’ll be mentioning stuff from here and there, occasionally.


Till Next Time...

Hello... Represent... Me

Hello, and welcome to my Blog. I've been inspired by a friend to start a blog so here I am. I agreed upon this 'cause I so got a lot to share and talk about.

I won't take long, all I would like to say for starters is that I'm very much into writing, as you'd find out in my profile, therefore, I'd find it very pleasing to vent out here, all the stuff that I should've voiced...but remained unvoiced, due to personal characteristics and experiences in life.

So... Till next time?

I love having a concluding phrase to stick to, sort of a trade mark (lol)

See you around ;)
