Drugs for Writers

What are you up to this weekend?
I have done a few miles jog with may lab Marilyn and now enjoying my breakfast and coffee. Workers are now doing some project on the backyard wall and later in the afternoon, I am planning to go hunt for some vintage furniture. Just hunt, not buying them just yet*wink.

Great news; I got a promotion! Cannot even tell you how thankful I am and also nervous at the same time because this means bigger projects and responsibilities are waiting for me. Yesterday, as I started to work at my -what can be called as- satellite office, my mojo seems to overflowing. I always knew that I am a better person alone, but apparently at work, I perfom better in a quite environment too. Haha!

Well, here's a funny illustration I recently found. Makes me laugh hard!
Have a great weekend beautiful people.

Waltzing Matilda

I am going to this city and this too next week! Both are for work so I will be busy with meetings and presentations and one gala dinner. But I can not help to handle this excitement! Also, I have a few friends in Sydney that I have not seen for years. So, I will make time to see them, especially because a good Penfolds awaits *wink.

Have you been to the land down under? Was it during winter or summer? How was it?

By the way, traveling to Australia is number #43 on my bucket list:)

Human Communication

This visual history of human communication by the inimitable Wendy MacNaughton is so funny!

(yet, I am still bringing home the bacon by working in communications division:))

Work is not a job

Secret Project On the Go!

Pssst... I am working on a project. Pulling a dream out of its comfort hideaway and carving it into reality.

Do not worry, it is not anything illegal. It will not cause any harm. A part of my heart says It's kinda late for me to be start doing this- but a bigger part says; It is now or never. Wish me all the luck in the world and strongest willed heart anyone could ever have. Though the project is taking a baby steps now, I know -with God's grace- this really is happening. Fingers crossed.

And yes, I will keep you posted on the progress.

Not so pained sighs

Just sharing a smile on a Monday afternoon. My Monday is speeding up like a bullet and I am half way there to the finish line. How far are you?

Desk it dear :)

I found post it helpful, and I am one regular consumer; ) But if I can found this desk-it, I think using them will be more environment friendly for me, since my little post its keep losing its way between stack of papers. I can always go back to my check my outlook though but during a long busy day; scribbling ideas, reminders and what not, is like my one constant need.

Desk-it is a post-it note for your desk. You can write down your to-dos for the day or week, and then stick it on your wall or your computer to remind yourself. Once you're done, just tear it off and enjoy your sense of accomplishment.

My Pure Saturday

How do you like your Saturday? I like mine starts early. I embrace my Saturday with a cup of long black coffee, a misty window and broken clouds. Yes, I am a morning person, so even on my days off, I always wake up early just to feel this pleasure knowing that I have a free time to do things out of work. I can do chores, breakfast, put on some music just to go back for a nap later but I must and love... to wake up early.

So this morning, I woke up at 7 (a bit late), and do a bit of reading before walking for 20 minutes to my hotel to have a breakfast meeting with the Managing Editor of this sophisticated lifestyle magazine; Dreams .

I met him  last night for a dinner but the interview with the Chef has to be done in the morning. So I went. 

Call me crazy, but I love breakfast meetings. It feels like it triggers an endorphin burst in me, knowing that on such early hours, I have done something worth accomplishing.

Especially because my work (my passion) always rotates me into meeting people with fascinating ideas and experiences. Trust me I am not a typical " must work long hours"  kinda woman. I don't do that. But I don't know how to call this "contentment of getting one thing done on a Saturday morning" which makes me feel like I deserve a laid back day to the fullest. I am weird like that I guess.  

Have  nice Saturday everyone. 

Update: I later have nice long hours at the beach, do my nails, bakso dinner, shop for bread and fruits (hmm durian and mangosteen) with my friend Ria. I loooouuuve my Saturday!
