Malta, sea, Gozo

Six weeks in Malta…  I’m usually starting my day at 8am with a 10 min walk around Piazza Tigne with my dogs; then I prepare breakfast and re-watching some old-fashioned crime tv shows (right now, it is Midsomer Murders with the Chief Inspector Barnaby). After that, I always go out for a coffeeContinue Reading

what's new picture for a blog post

It’s been a while… primarily because before Christmas, I got sick (for almost two weeks), and then I started packing and preparing to move to Malta. We’ve got a lease for one year with the possibility of terminating it after six months.   It takes a while to settle into a place whereContinue Reading

Hello, December! Here we are… With a brand-new year before us. A fresh unwritten chapter with new possibilities, memories, and potential. I hope you’ll focus on the most important things this year, such as: Developing your vision Living in balance Being positive Trusting your intuition Listening to your heart Evolving and becomingContinue Reading

The system within we live and work is primarily patriarchal, valuing men more than women. This is undoubtedly changing, but change is slow.  Some women are learning to think like men, compete with them, and beat them at their own games.

Day 38 Between the Roads /absurdist comedy/ My father once told me, “When you hit rock bottom, Bullet, there is no place to go but UP.” It’s been a difficult time, but I was determined to continue living to the fullest, despite all the pain and horrors of the past hours. That’sContinue Reading

Why am I here? What is the meaning of my life? What should give my life purpose or value? These are tough questions – ones you’ve likely confronted at one point or the other in the past. But don’t be mistaken; you’re not alone. Nearly every thinking person in history has facedContinue Reading

Day 37 Fear  /absurdist comedy/ There’s an old saying among the men of Rsa: “real home is where your active sex life is.” For years I searched for my home, and I found it only in Gunung Kinabalu: the place of violent but passionate hearts. So, if you’d ask me now, afterContinue Reading

If that wasn’t sad enough, many nations are now plunged into economic recessions, with businesses collapsing in record numbers. The result? There has beenContinue Reading

life is representation, philosophy

Years ago, I watched the late 90s movie “The Truman Show” with great fascination. In that movie, the protagonist thought he was living a normal life, but he didn’t know that he was part of a massive TV/game show shot in a gigantic studio set. There were hidden cameras everywhere recording allContinue Reading
