Another beginning

Never really feel the time breezed out when you're having a break. Since I lost my job in October, it was really amazing that the plan that I was thinking of didn't work out and before you know it... It's January. And I will start with my new job soon. If I would like to summarize those missing 3 months, I would say that aside from my China trip I was (or I thought so) quite diligent in resume sending, attended a few interviews and taking care of my house and my husband. Aside from that, I don't think I did anything else. Which is quite sad. I hardly even stepped outside the house to shop. Imagine that. Yes I shopped for groceries. But it was with Jon (meaning, no time to browse) and it's out of my norm not to look around and window shop all those nice frills along the fashion spreads.

Now I became engrossed on what's the latest book rack at IKEA's catalogue rather than checking out fashion magazine for the latest trends. Well, usually I hardly notice the trends from fashion magazine anyway. I thought most fashion that were drapped there were not suitable to wear. It's just for art sake they were there. All in all, though, I am not that bad as in memorizing the furniture name such as SVAJZ or KALLT or whatever that IKEA conjured up. I know the name or even able to spell it, but I couldn't connect them to the items. It's just stuck on me brain because I've seen it quite a bit.

What's my resolution? I must say... Just to enjoy life as it may come. I would love to be able to sing more. Nothing ambitious. With all that's happening in the world, I became more and more cloistered in this cocoon of self perservation in not knowing. Might as well, God come now and take this creature comfort home. Hehehe. I know that when I checked my bank book, I somewhat amazed that I managed to save quite a bit, although I'm an impulsive shopper. And that God is providing for us through it all.

See... time ran out as I'm blogging this and I have to go out and meeting with my relatives now...
