It seems that this year I skipped the tradition of writing a list of things about me at the beginning of the year, the way I did it on 2010 NYE and 2011 NYE (well, almost). But at times I reach a point when I stop, look back and see the road that lead me [...]

Changes
This year there will be changes. I can feel it. Some changes will be necessary. And I will take the steps in the right direction to make them. I will stand up for myself. I will express my opinions. And if people don’t like, it’s their problem, not mine. I will make decisions and live [...]

When dreams clash with reality
I feel (no, I KNOW) that my dream is to travel as much as possible, for as long as it’s humanly possible. True, there are some factors that determine me not to follow up on that dream (just now) – plans for an unknown future, tying up loose ends (need to finish my residency), saving [...]

Why do I love to travel?
This is a tough question for me, and I think that each and every person who is traveling or dreaming of it has come across this particular enigma. The reasons are multiple – see the world, enjoy the food, meet new people, go home and brag about seeing the world, eating crazy yet delicious food [...]

The Dream
I was sliding down a sandy spiral, slowly and steadily. The sand was scratching my skin, got under my clothes, invaded every inch of the spiral. I knew that as soon as the spiral ended I would be falling for all eternity, with no chances of stopping, just like in the legendary Tartarus. I remembered [...]

The ‘No Hug’ rule
I love hugs. I love to feel connected to people and I like to think that people feel the same way. The only type of hug I don’t like is the one after which I am left without my wallet, but so far I’ve been lucky not to be parted with it As a young [...]

The Secret of traveling
As you pretty much know, I’m obsessed with traveling. No, I don’t dream about it (my dreams have a different recurring obsessive theme) just pretty much obsess about it – if traveling was the victim, I would be the masked dude carrying the chainsaw But no matter how many destinations I came up with, I [...]

The perfect job
What would be the perfect job? Enjoy what you do, go to work with a smile on your face AND get paid for it. Cool, huh? The perfect job for me would be travel writing, as it combines 2 of my passions – traveling and writing. Well, it’s easier said than done. It is extremely [...]

Reflections or more random things about me
Following the tradition of last year, I’m posting more 100 things about me. Hope I will find so many. 1. A New Year’s resolution of mine is to take up swimming much more seriously than this year. 2. My health, both physical and mental will be on top of my list. 3. Next year I [...]

Random and true things about me
I AM – funny, annoying, loyal, loud-mouth, shy, crazy; a dancer, reader, listener, teacher, student, tourist, doctor, patient, son, grandson, cousin, nephew, stranger, acquaintance, friend. I HAVE – a strong thirst for knowledge, a desire to see the world…and I have to lose a couple pounds…I just HAVE TO!!! I WISH – I had a [...]

What makes us tick
Last night I saw a movie that impressed me a great deal. “Bucket list”. It’s about 2 people who find out they are losing the battle with cancer, having 6 months “borrowed time”, so they decide to create a list of things to do before they die. There is one scene that caught my attention, [...]

On life
What is life? I certainly don’t think it’s an entity that laughs its behind off whenever things don’t go our way (remember the phrase “my life is unfair” amongst other things). No, life is simply a series of events where the focus is on me, or you…each and every one of us is the main [...]

100 things about me
I thought what better way to start the year than with a “100 things about me”. I know it’s not an original idea but hey, nobody’s perfect. So, here goes! 1. I believe distance should not get in the way of friendship. 2. My favorite movies are: any Harry Potter, The sweetest thing, Sister act, [...]

Escape
Have you ever felt like you wanted to escape? I mean REALLY escape. Lately I’ve been experiencing this feeling. It’s like my body and my mind are prepared at any moment to flee. A lot of things happened that “helped” me reach that point of “that’s it…no more”. This feeling is hard to describe, make [...]

Freedom
Today I ran. After the bus, that’s true, but still I ran. You’re going to ask, so what’s the big deal? The deal is, I ran after 5 months of non-running. And there’s a reason for it – my surgery. The end of June found me in the hospital, to have surgery for a little [...]

How to have a bad day in 5 easy steps
Today I had a really bad day. Being Tuesday, and this day always brings me the worst there is, I felt not so annoyed, up till one point. It started this morning, when I had to wake up earlier than usual to wait for my dad, who promised to bring the car to my place. [...]

Tastes and slaps
Tastes and slaps have one thing in common, you’ll never find two exactly the same. You won’t have two different persons telling you they like the EXACT same things. The tastes vary according to music, movies, people and the categories could go on and on and on. For instance, a very good friend of mine [...]

My favorite month
As of today it’s my favorite month – December. I truly love this month. Back in the day when I was young, it signaled the end of school and the start of the winter holidays. It meant snow, letters to Santa, putting them on the windowsill, getting all excited if those letters disappeared, overjoyed when [...]

Things that make me happy
Once again it was time for self-reflection. What things make me happy? Do THINGS make me happy? what kind of things? material things? does that make me materialistic? This is pretty much the train of my thought. I know, if you knew me you’d think I’m a nut case. And you would be right. Last [...]

A tribute to my friends
Throughout my twenty-something years (please notice I have age issues – must be getting old) I have met a lot of people. I kept in touch with some, forgot others, needed to forget others and some of them managed to cross that barrier of trust, becoming what I consider to be friends. I have very [...]
