For now, my wish is for me to fit into my jeans!

I  went shopping. Something I shouldn’t have done. Why? Well, for every 10 pair of pants, I could fit in neither. Do you know how frustrating that can be? Very. But there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. However, tops are fine though. I can fit into a fairly reasonable top.

That is my wishlist. For the year. At least.

Gnat’s wishlist however is expectedly different from mine. He’d rather have the xbox 360. Influenced by his nephew. Can you believe it, that a 9 year old can so much influence a 30-something grown man? Well, better believe it. It’s real. And it’s happening in our household…

You know, I realise that there are so many…and I mean, really many many people out there making or attempting to make a living out of photography. The numbers are simply alarming. Some are good but unfortunately and with due respect to those “out there”, some are just too ordinary. So ordinary that I wonder how these people call themselves photographers and make a living out of it. Anyway, I suppose, what they say about one man’s meat is another man’s poison (You would think that if that’s the case, won’t you want to give your horse horse supplements?)

Ok, so what just did happen? Did I rant? LOL…Been a while. It must’ve been that dreaded pnd I’m suffering from.

I had a busy day today. Must be the reason. Gnat and I, we were out again discussing and meeting up with our partners. I reckon this will probably go on for quite a while. Now I wish that I am the one on that flight heading to Switzerland instead hehehhe….Oh well, “no pain, no gain”…

The project we are involved in is still in progress. A little un-nerving but we continue to press on. Never realised the tremendous amount of work involved and no to mention the agony of waiting and more waiting. The uncertainty…the unknown.

Besides with a newborn it’s difficult getting away even for 5 minutes. I mean, we have to take turns going grocery shopping, getting our hair-cut and even visiting a Plano Dentist. So, to sneak in some time is really challenging. I want to look at the positive of things but sometimes, it is simply too difficult.

One good thing is that Ash and I won’t be traveling with Gnat. Yes, that was the “other” exciting news in July. We were supposed to travel to Switzerland with Gnat for 2 weeks. Sure I was excited. I bet if Ash was older and more aware, she’d be excited too. However, with the current swine going on and the traveling period being far too long a stretch, I just thought it best not to get Ash through the process. It might tire her instead of her relaxing; which was supposed to be the case anyway.

Oh well, we’ll just have to do it some other time. Am I disappointed? Well, a little but I am more at peace knowing that it’s the best conclusion for the kids.

If you don’t know already, I am also a tennis fan. The last month, I had the privilege to watch the French Open almost on a daily basis since I was on confinement and had help with the babe. But coming into Wimbledon, I’m not so sure about my daily couching regime. I’ll probably catch the news or something.

Speaking about news, I am not exactly surprised, more of disappointment at a piece of news I read this morning - Nadal has withdrawn from Wimbledon. I am happy and sad at the same time. Happy because my favourite tennis player will have one less obstacle to face in this tournament. Sad because well, it’s not fun not watching Nadal play. Though I will not want to admit it but it’s at times fun to watch Nadal. Although, it’s not that much of a fun when he’s trashing Federer.

The reason for Nadal’s withdrawal is due to his knee injury; something he’s been having for quite a while already and something that even nutritional health supplements can’t help. If that is true, then, I’d have to give it to the guy for enduring much pain while he played. It’s not easy I can tell you that: having to manage the pain and I know all about managing pain. I had to do that at least twice in my lifetime!

Anyway, he’ll bounce back for sure. Besides, time is on his side; he’s only 24. Wow, I remember those days when I was 24. Ok, I’m digressing here. In the meantime, Federer better grab this chance of a lifetime even though, I know, deep down he’d want to beat Nadal at his own game. But, the heavens have never been so kind.

Alright, I fear, this is turning into a tennis post and it’s not my intention really. Just wanted to get it out of my system.

Busy with what?

Well, plenty and unfortunately, I can’t put my darn finger to it.

I did mention previously that life is a little chaotic at the moment. And probably will be for the next couple of months. Trying to adjust to many new happenings in our lives currently. You know, how things happen when you least expect it? Actually, not that it happened involuntarily, just that opportunities chose to come all at once and we’d be a fool not to take the chance.

Well, at least I know, with my current obsession with losing my baby fat and all, I won’t have another chore of reading up phenphedrine reviews; I’d lose them in no time (fingers crossed!).

Anyway, whether fools or not, we will only know it much later. As of now, it’s work work and more work…
