“When it comes to that part of the world, one must believe in miracles” — David Mancuso referring to the situation in the Middle East.

That pretty much summarizes the conclusion I have come to. I speak with many people from the Middle East on a daily basis and I cannot help but agree with David.

Looking very, very objectively at the situation, there’s no party that’s in the wrong or in the right. It’s just the situation. Human survival instincts in full effect.

The only way out in my opinion is for all of us to get on our knees and pray for God’s intervention because as humans, we just have to admit that we cannot solve this one and just let the One who created us all handle it.

Me thinks so… temperatures are above zero, the streets are busier, nightclubs are packed and I did not wear my hat and gloves today.

Update March 15th: forget what I wrote… the cold is back even if it’s -10 only…

Sometimes it sucks being a self-employed person. Not only does it require having some sort of discipline (that’s the one thing that I regret not acquiring at university) but it also requires reminding your family members, friends and acquaintances that just because you are not slave to the 9-5 routine, you are as free as you wish.

The following rant comes as a result of me noticing that a great deal of my day is spent running errands. I hate paperwork and tedious tasks that’s why most my bills are electronic and tend to have everything digitized. And if I really hate doing some things such as accounting and hectic cleaning up, I just get a professional to do it.

But I still do run errands! What’s the big deal, I hear you ask? Well, I would dare say that 70% of the errands I run are not mine! For the last two weeks, I have kept track of my schedule and noticed that most of the freezing is on behalf of other people.

I am nice but I have a limit. That’s why from this week, most favours are just going to stop. Basically, if people are not family or close friends or I am not sleeping with you (hope my parents don’t read this), bugger off. I am through with being people’s slave. After this post, I will get on the phone and assuming that I am in a better mood, will let people know that from now on, they’ll have to depend on someone else.

That’s enough whining for a day. I better go outside for some fresh air… On second thoughts, I will just have a Kit Kat, it’s too cold out there!

Apparently, that’s the day for people who find themselves without a date or any valentine on the 14th of February.

I will not lie. I guess that I am one of the concerned. I have never seen so few people on MSN that day!

That most stuff I talk about is weather related… But you have to live in this city to understand! Right now, it’s so freezing that I am boycotting the outside world.

OK, this is a stupid post, I admit it. I am trying out a new software….

As you can see, I have moved my old blog to Word Press which is better than my previous host. The previous host actually started off well, got bought by a big company and I think that they neglected it because it’s still stuck in prehistoric times.

Anyways, I am here now so let the journey continue!!!

2006 is off on a big roll. The first month is gone and the time cannot be redeemed. I have been so busy it’s unbelievable. I suspect big changes in my life as I am working on some major change of direction that will probably (or not) surprise a few of you close friends.

Incidentally, my social life is taking a knock. Some of friends are complaining that I have disappeared. To that, I apologize as time has become a precious asset and I am racing against it.

This winter has surprisingly been mild. Let me not speak too fast as February is right here but if it can just be as nice as Jan, I will be a happy camper!

This morning on my way to church, the freezing winter wind nearly killed me. On Friday when I stepped out it was 8 degrees, the warmest day since November I think. This morning it was – 26 (wind factor included).

So when I went out and took a ten minute walk, I really thought it was the end of me. I was well dressed it’s just that my face had no protection whatsoever. So it just got eaten by the cold wind.

I now have a burned sensation and I am so shy of getting out. WInter has just gotten nasty in my books and so far, it has kicked me up in the butt big time.
