Why Faith?

A little food for thought..

We (Earth’s dwellers, from humans to microorganisms with everything in-between) as well as universes, constellations, suns, stars, planets, atmosphere, dinosaurs, carnivores, omnivores, cannot be merely some random accident!

Why is there life only on earth? Why hasn’t this happened elsewhere in the universe? why hasn’t other species on earth “evolve” as well? Why do we still have monkeys or chimps? Where did the monkeys come from? Why are some babies born physically perfect.. but DEAD… where does that spark that makes us ALIVE come from, and why does it expire? Why do we die? 

A lot of us ‘Humans’ believe in The Creator/God, whom fashioned beauty and ugliness, lightness and darkness, Good and evil, as well as Humans, animals, genies, Angels & Demons.

Humans are (fortunately or unfortunately) the star of the show, we can think for ourselves, we got free will not just instinct… we get to choose to have faith, to believe in something or not, to be good, bad or evil. 

Some of us are poor some are rich some are healthy some are sick, some can have children some cant, some have happiness some don’t.. life is not fair and that is why humans turn to their faith of a higher power, the hope that there is something better a reward for being good, for facing and accepting trials and turbulence, for giving when we have more than others.

If God/The Creator wanted, God/The Creator could’ve made us all the same, made us all believers, but where would the fun be?

 

BBye Qatar Hello Dubai Land

So it seems we finally made it to our final destination, Duabiland is where we wanted to be.. time to settle down and set some roots, its been quite a journey to get here! Yes Sir, it sure has.

Like moth to flames we have come to this city that never sleeps, the shopping that never ends, and to days filled LIFE and Living (which can be utterly exhausting).   

2012 ended with a bang 2013 started with a bang… here’s hoping we can maintain this momentum J

Bye Bye New Zealand .... Helloooooo Qatar

Well I'm in Qatar! new adventures await I hope...

First weekend here in Doha.. alone... not quite sure where to start!
I know... Shopping! I'll go shopping.. I need to explore the city tho, meet some new people..

At least I dont feel this lost at work! I'm sure a social life will happen in no time... it's only been a week!

UP UP and AWAY

After a few dull years, it seems that things are starting to look up... 

I have always been intrigued by the saying "if you do a job you like you never work a day in your life" or something to that effect.. anyway I have been dreaming of being in that position... to wake up wanting to go to work, and to not want to leave work! God does that make me a bit of a workaholic? i am glad to report that this has FINALLY happened to me... well, it really is only just a foot in the door, but nevertheless I feel like I am finally on the right track. 

As always I have many ideas racing through my mind, and grand schemes that I am sure I will be working hard to achieve. 

Over the years one thing has not changed, I LOVE DESIGN, all kinds of it, and one of my big dreams is to one day collaborate with a big name on a design, I feel I have a bit of work to do before I am ready for such a step but I will get there.

But for now here is a list of what I would like to achieve (and by that mean, have the world know that i did this work):

1- shoes... shoes... shoes... 

2-  a light fixture

3- a piece of furniture

4- a piece of clothing 

I am not going to put an 'Interior' as Im currently working on that one and who know soon the world (or at least the world of design) might get to know my work.

its not really a big list at all! no really! I should be able to get that done... with alot of hard work and a bit of luck... because it seems if being in the right place at the right time, is a huge factor in most success stories!

That's my little rambling for today..

The year of the BLOG!

Well this is rather embarrassing!! Two posts in  2011!, well I don't know how 2011 is over this fast! it feels like I haven't done anything last year! even though it has been such an eventful year! I survived a disastrous earthquake, I had a gorgeous baby girl, traveled around the south Island (New Zealand) in a camper van! and before the year ended I started a fabulous design job!

And now its 2012

I have BIG plans for 2012.. and blogging about it is very high up on my list!
I have done one painting last year! yes just one! so that's another thing that I would like to do more of!
I also now own a DSLR so (I have been saying this for a few month now) I will learn to use it on manual... it is not a point and shoot camera!

Well I guess my new year resolution(S) are still in progress!

let the ramblings begin!

So there hasn't been much ramblings that has gone on this blog! nevertheless the ramblings are continuous in my head!

So much so that I cant sleep well at night... well being pregnant might have something to do with it... but racing thoughts do keep me up till the wee hours of the morning too!

I am still not sure if I want to be sharing my thoughts in the big world of cyber space, but a part of me want to put everything out there who know what could come out of it right?


Right now I am in a bit of limbo ... AGAIN... and there isn't much I can do about it. sporting a lovely baby bump has not helped at all in the search for a career beginner!

So right now I am forcing myself to enjoy staying at home... and brainstorming, researching, compiling ideas so when the time comes to launch one of my ideas I could hit the ground running.

I am struggling to keep my mind off what I will wear to a friends wedding next month! not very easy to decide when I dont even know what size I will be!! i will be 7 month pregnant by then!! I will try to pop on here and add a few posts on designs I like maybe sketches of what I would like to wear..

till then

Abandoned! no not forgotten... I'm back!

Well I did not realise that I have not posted here since November!.
This blog seems abandoned!
I suppose it is explainable though, Nov, Dec, Jan I spent on the couch nauseous and exhausted as I battled through the first trimester of this pregnancy! which is exciting and different from my first one.
Februry... Oh February you never disappoint always interesting!
My birthday is in the first week of February, this year the first week saw me move to a fabulous home and starting an internship in an awesome company, the first step to starting a dream career, also the perfect opportunity to get into my high heels and make the most of my wardrobe before I sported my 'bump'. I spent 3 weeks there, there was even talk of a permanent placement. it was bliss I do not think I've been that happy in a very long time.
Then on Tuesday 22 Feb after spending all morning doing a measure up job (My first), I returned to the office with a bounce in my step thinking "I so have this", sat down to have my lunch... and then My world shook and shattered! literally!

A 6.3 magnitude earthquake ripped through the city I watched as the walls around me swayed, twisted, cracked and tilted, glass door shattering all around me, alarm sirens blasted throughout the city center, everyone was shocked at the magnitude of the disaster (now seems small compared to the devastation in Japan).

So now I am back to where I was back in Nov! and I guess that is why this blog might see a little more action.
