Weekly little adventures (W19): Taking initiative to keep in touch

She means the world to me, yet I never made an effort to keep in touch, to care or think about her...because she was always there. Work is important, but as important as it is, it's replaceable. She, however, is part of my most cherished memories. It really makes no sense that she always has to be the one to call me and making sure I have everything I need. This week, I decided to take some initiative. She sounded so happy. This will not be once in a blue moon kind of event anymore. I want to make this into a tradition from now on.

Weekly little adventures (W18): My first part-time employee

This week, I hired my first part-time employee. I feel so happy, even though it isn't anything that significant. Having a business is like having a baby, you're happy and excited for every little things and nothings.

Weekly little adventures (W17): Opening up

"What do you do after work?"

"I have so much work even after work, if not I just relax at home or go climbing...what do you do?"

"I always go have a quick drink at the bar, sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend...to meet people, give people a chance to meet me...when I first met you, you had that huge wall around you, that's why I made it a challenge, and I decided to come say hi to you every morning...and one day, you finally came to say hi first. You should try to open up more, go out, meet people and have fun with it."

Weekly little adventures (W16): Being an adult

My dad used to take care of pretty much everything. When I got my car several years ago, he's the one who went to the dealer and did all the talking and negotiating. He's the one who had to call all the insurance companies to get quotes. He's the one who changes my tires every time. When there is something that needs to be fixed, I tell him to take my car to the garage...I was pretty spoiled. This week, I feel like a big girl and I negotiated a good deal for my new car and ate the car sales alive. I never thought I was so good at it until I tried.

Weekly little adventures (W15): Drawing

This is my first time drawing in 20 years.

I used to draw during classes all the time. I used to be artistic and creative...but I wasn't like those kids that perused arts as a career choice. At some point, I chose to spend my time and focus my energy elsewhere. Things have changed....my drawing skills are pretty bad, and I made no progress at all since elementary school. I also really don't think I enjoy it anymore. Nonetheless, drawing brought back so many memories of who I used to be...
