Oh look! Its May! 2013!

And the years pass. So fast, you wonder where it all goes sometimes.

Sitting here with a glass of Riesling, in the middle of the night.

Yes, its always in the middle of the night, isn't it?

That's the only time my thoughts are my own, where its free to flit from matter to matter, back and forth, back and forth.

I've moved jobs twice in a year last year, that's why filing my taxes is such a pain. I dreamt I was pitching to a client last night. I kind of think I got thrown under the bus in the office a few times this week. I invited my oldest and closest friends, including the males, to a hen's night in the Island of the Gods. I already own two guidebooks on Seoul, but I still haven't booked my ticket. I had to frantically press the mute button on the conference call facility when I heard a senior banker at Director level stop someone in the midst of explaining "if we have recourse, we can lower the interest more.." and butt in with a "Stop. Whats 'recourse'?"

I ended the week fully appreciating what a very influential, and inspiring woman in my old workplace once told me, "Keep dreaming - make your own road ahead. Keep the good people, good moments and good times with you, these are what will get you through."

She got let go from our old workplace, but I respect her all the more. I look forward to those emails from her, when she said she would keep in touch with me and write me about the things that inspire her. These people, people like her, I'm grateful to have known. To know.

I hope I never lose what she says I have. Its my little secret, what she says I have.

:)

Good night, world. I wouldn't have traded you for anything else.
