Enthu-what?

I used to be the most enthusiastic person in the world. I swear. Always up for an adventure, doing something new, cannot-sit-at-one-place type. But off late, I've been so.. bleagh. Its been a gradual, slow change, and apparently I never noticed it until, well, after it happened. So many things that were me, don't even bring up a teeny bubble of excitement anymore.
Pictures: I was the 200-pics-on-a-night-out type of girl. Then my camera kinda got lost in the busyness of life, and now, I have a whole phase of 2009-2010 that I have no memories of.
Travelling: I was the person who'd pack my bags one weekend before I had to travel, you know, just to make sure I could always throw in last-minute things, in case I had forgotten them off my neatly categorised packing list. Now, when I leave home for a 5 week trip to a cold place, I pack the night before, and forget things like socks.
Entertainment: I never loved movies, or tv, but I had my list of  reality shows that I followed like there was no tomorrow. I knew which model wore what, who got what contract, who dated who, who got eliminated, who was most likely to get eliminated next week. Now, apart from the occasional cricket match, I haven't sat in front of the tv, or my laptop apart from work.
People!: I couldn't be alone at home one night without driving myself up the wall. I enjoy having people around me, talking, laughing, drinking, socialising, chatting, bonding until it was time to go to work the next day. Now, all I want to do after work is come home & crash out. [There's only one thing in the world that still keeps me being me, and thank god for that!]

So whiny I've become, no? Does everyone have this "phase"? Is this what becoming older means?
If it is, then #*(% that shit. I miss being me, and its about time I get me some of that!!

Life

Wherever life might take you, no matter what the weather, always remember to bring your own sunshine.

Happy-go-Lucky

I used to think i was a happy-go-lucky person...but the more I think about it, that concept doesn;t make to much sense...Sometimes I wish I was one of those determined, hard workers, who had this Life Plan. You know, the post grad by 26, MBA by 28, swanky apartment by 29 etc etc.
Little old me just lives life by the hour/day/week, call it whatever you may. If an "opportunity" comes up, like in my face, I take it, or leave it if I don't feel up to it, etc etc.. and this is how it goes. Is that Happy-go-lucky? Or is that just lazy? That can't be happy-go-lucky, thats just leaving things to take their own course.. the F word. Fate. Or Destiny.. which seems like a bunch of faff in my opinion. I think a lot of people use "destiny" as an excuse for messing up. "its destiny... it wasn't meant to happen.. maybe something else'll work out". Balls.
Okay, now I'm digressing.
So, the thing about happy-go-lucky, I read somewhere it meant that the happier you are, the luckier you get. May be, but I also read this quote that stuck with me - "The harder I work, the luckier I get".
But what the hell, I'll stick with Happy-go-lucky for now. Life-Planing seems as futile as saying I'll be 5kgs lighter by the end of the year. Sigh.

TwentyEleven

2007: The year of the new life! New city, new job, new friends. Time to parrtayy babayyy!
2008: The year of kicking a.s.s - at work, at everywhere. The year of Travel - America, Ireland, Singapore & Malaysia.
2009: The year calm after the storm of 2008. Same life, same job, same city.
2010: Best. Year. Yet. New phases, new life. Home sweet home, new job, new friends, new home, new life all over again.
2011: show me whatcha got!

New year, new plan.

This year I've decided to start blogging.. I have so much to say, and I talk a lot.. I'm thinking this is better than having one person (mostly the husband!) having to hear my babble all the time!
