A new mandate :)

9. October 2008 | Category Thoughts | 2 Comments »

Nobody has noticed I’m sure….

But I have written less in the past few months. It’s because I have had issues with blogs in general. I don’t want to be narcissistic and I feel blogs are. So I stopped.

However, maybe 2 people in this world read this thing (thx Anh and Michelle) and I wanted to keep it up sorta…as long as it isn’t about me much. I mean, I have connected w/some Gary Barlow fans and have received 2 job offers through the blog so I figure why not continue rite?

So I am changing direction. I won’t be posting too much personal stuff on this cuz it’s just freakin’ weird to have out in the open like that. Also, if you are HR and you’re looking on this blog, I don’t want to be ashamed of anything I’ve written. I am not fearful of what you find here so it’s fine but it’s still strange to think that ppl who don’t know me mite read this stuff….

To continue writing, I have to change my style. So the blog will now be about YOU, not me. I will raconter mes histoires mais avec le but de t’aider. What I’m saying is that I will bring out useful lessons if I have any. This blog will not be for gloating purposes anymore. I WANT TO BE HUMBLE. The goal is to help and if I don’t, then I will quit!

So here’s to a better blog that is interesting and useful. Like my blogmaster’s, he’s sooooooooooo awesome! NOT ABOUT ME BUT TO HELP AND BE A POSITIVE PIECE OF BLOG ONLINE.

OK, I wonder if anyone cares….I think I almost prefer if you don’t :)

Love,
Cathy

I’m back (ish) HOME, HOME, HOME!

9. October 2008 | Category NTrang/homelife VN, Saigon | 0 Comments »

True that I’m back….

– In HCMC/Saigon/home in Vietnam, working at EMW etc.
– At my apartment with the best landlady in HCMC
– In true lazy Cathy form, not knowing where my keys, bank card, rent money, shoes etc. are!
– Eating and having to cook for myself (1st insect attack just occurred last nite which isn’t bad since it’s been 3 days….)
– On the phone, Skype, FB, etc. with all my friends outside of HCMC….miss u tons!

BUT I’M NOT BACK on my motorbike b/c I want to pretend that I’m a tourist here…if anyone has a car that they want to lend me (with chauffeur), I’m down :) HCMC is dirty and I am just not up to driving in this dusty, rainy, exhaust-pipe mania yet…..

TRAVELING: not overrated but less exciting when one has been on 26 trips in one year!
In the past 6 weeks, I’ve been to SFran/Oakland, USA; Vancouver and surroundings, British Columbia (my province), Canada; Hong Kong for a dim sum delight; and back to Vietnam. I won’t go anywhere for the next 1.5 months I think and then it’s off to the races w/a trip to grams in Nha Trang; work stuff in Danang, Tokyo for sushi, pocky, and friends; and oh CANADA for Christmas! I am blessed with flexibility in my job and so I am totally thankful…I AM NOT UNGRATEFUL.

CIAO for now and mucho smoochos! Pics to come peut-etre!
