Missing Mom

Nor posted an article on - Aug 12, 2011, 3:52 pm
I’ve never spoken much about Mom in public since she passed away last May this year. For one, I believe that I was still at the stage of denial. Maybe. Well, that was what I thought. Now? Again, maybe I haven’t moved on yet. I haven’t found my closure. Although Mom lived life the fullest, how...

My Second Dip into the Freelancing World

Nor posted an article on - Jan 24, 2011, 7:37 pm
As I have mentioned in a previous post, I went back to my corporate life. I thought I missed it, but it was actually more of a necessity than a want. No regrets.One of the major wake-up calls was the office politics, yeah; I must admit that while I know my way around, I get lost more often. I lose m...

2011 – Moving Forward

Nor posted an article on - Jan 3, 2011, 1:52 pm
I went back to corporate ‘rigging’ in 2009 till 2010 –nothing has changed. That is in so far as my expectations and how the way things are in that work environment. I changed though, in many ways. For one, I learned that while you cannot please everybody, there are those who will value you fo...

When Quitting is the Only Choice

Nor posted an article on - Oct 22, 2010, 3:07 am
“When things go wrong as they sometimes (or aptly, more often) will…rest if you must, but don’t you quit!”The phrase kept reverberating in my head. Nagging.I’m no quitter, although on a few occasions I did. Serious reasons, of course. Whilst it never occurred to me that I’ll pass that ro...

When there is nothing to blog about –Take 2

Nor posted an article on - Apr 5, 2010, 11:44 pm
I went back. I told myself that I am done with corporate life, kissing corporate ass, and kicking corporate AH’s (my apologies). Here I am. Now, blogging is taking again another back seat. So, when there is nothing to blog about, you blubber. Nah. You say something –“SOMETHING.” Yeah, “s...

I broke my own rule, I broke my promise

Nor posted an article on - Apr 3, 2010, 12:31 am
It’s been almost 5 years. It’s not a great feat worth celebrating, I must say. But I have been indeed sober for almost 5 years until last Thursday. 10 years of struggle with alcoholism, 2 years in therapy, and I threw it all in one night. No justification here, only remorse. This is day 3, and y...

So, even if I don’t understand most of the terms used in the stock market, I read updates anyway.In my mind, there are at least two fundamental shakers in the market, the price of gold and the price ...

The Pursuit of a Stress-Free Life

Nor posted an article on - Dec 2, 2009, 11:09 am
Stress-free life is as elusive as any other ideals. Ironically, it is also stressful to pursue it. In fact if you have considered living alone like a hermit, you will realize that it is more stressful than having people you hate around you. If you have watched Tom Hanks in his movie flick, "CASTAWAY...

Delays and Waiting – What can we learn from them?

Nor posted an article on - Dec 1, 2009, 11:45 am
“Lord, give me patience. I need it NOW!”Have you prayed the same? I bet you did. Probably not in the same token or we have not actually verbalized it. We hate waiting. We hate delays. We hate being late. Yet, we go through life with all of these in tow. Unknowingly, these things take a piggyback...

Ramblings: On Politics, Culture, and Religion

I must admit, the first page I turn to whenever I read a broad sheet (yeah, I still read the morning paper) is the editorial cartoon. I appreciate how these artists capture the important or big events of the day in simple caricature –indeed; a picture speaks a thousand words. More often, I care m...

What was the first cognitive skill you taught your kids? Most likely, it’s counting, ayt? However, how many of us have realized later how our kids hate mathematics, algebra or anything that has to do with math problems? You need not blame yourself.
