Why The Quiet?

It’s not that I have been completely mute. There have been times when I have seen the vow of silence as a positive thing. Essentially, though, I have not been mute in that time. What I have done is gathered a new found love for headphones. I don’t love headphones because they block out others. On the […]

Takes The Broken

When it comes to writing a blog post I don’t always know what to write. As you might have noticed I have been kinda on the quiet side particularly over the month of September. I would like to tell you that the break was due to a need for rest and recuperation. It would be […]

Accommodate, Acclimatise, Assimilate

Accommodate – give space for, allow room for someone or something. Acclimatise – process of getting used to new conditions. Assimilate – take on the aspects, behaviours and values of the new environment often resulting in resembling the environment. Those are the thoughts that go on in my head when I consider these three terms. […]

Aiming Arrows Accurately

Have I told you how much I love the TV show Arrow? I don’t watch a lot of TV at all, but I was very much taken with the plot and characters in this story. I particularly like the development of the lead character Oliver Queen from a young playboy relying on his parents’ big […]

And … Action

There’s a stereotypical presentation of a movie set that I recall. Rehearsals will involve the key characters and the set would be constructed with the appropriate props in place. Through this whole process the cast and crew are guided to how the scene should be delivered by the leading of the director. Once she is satisfied […]

Admitting Anxiety

Why is she like that? It really annoys me when he behaves like that. How will these bills get paid and I am able to do this that I want to do as well? What if we don’t meet the targets this month, will that mean that our job is threatened? I am told to […]

Arrangements

Things appeared to be done for me. That’s understandable when I was a child. That was the expected thing. Who supplied my clothes? My parents. Who sorted out the food? My parents. Who dealt with the housing? My parents. Who fixed the transport? My parents. Sorted. That evidently began to change when there were small […]

Application

I enjoy my smartphone I recognise that I use it for quite a lot of things as it’s really useful for the apps. A friend remarked to me recently how dependent we in the privileged West have become on those apps. There must be an app for it somehow. App for shopping, app for banking, […]
