..and she calls it YOGA!!!!

Early evening yesterday, feeling refreshed from our 2 hour SWIM/WATER SPA, David and I walked over with Liya by the river so we can witness her different YOGA stances, photographed them, and hopefully learn something... well, we did not learn anything really and to date, am still awaiting from LIYA the names of her different stances... don't think she would appreciate the names I would give these poses (spread eagle stance, rear entry stance, etc... So Liya, Better get back with me with those names ASAP!!))
On the walk back -- we happen upon this tractor that's always fascinated me,,, and it so happened that it was abandoned right in the middle of the park... No one around... so what am I to do?? I jumped at my chance right away, of course, and tried it on for size...and a light in me flashed!!!

YOWZA!!! I found another job possibility, if ever I want a real career change.... just IMAGINE, no need to dress up... am out and about, soaking up the sun and smelling the fresh air... and I get to HANDLE BIIIIG MACHINES... MANLY?? Yes!!! and just the way I like it!!!

..am FLYING AWAY!!!!

Well, it is that time of the month again when I FLY OUT to see my MOM..... check up on her and this time I even get to visit my DAD's Grave as I will be in Manila for All Souls Day... These monthly trips are soooo tiring, not to mention costly... but such is life so there is not much more I can do 'cept to go with the flow of things... haaays, if only I can actually just fly the broom and back - that would surely save me $$$ and TIME.... oh well, DREAM ON!!!

It is soooo AMAZING how so much can happen and change in just a few days.... Wish it could be delightful and positive things but instead new frustrations and hurdles to overcome have risen... AM SOOOOOO FRUSTRATED and SOURED by one of the setbacks -- I feel, I cannot even think straight.... at this point right now, I just FEEL LIKE it would be easier to simply give up on HOPING... on EVERYTHING........ so I GUESS, it is good am going to MANILA and get some KIND of ALONE time -- time to think things through -- to see and re-asses my options...

Am just hoping & praying there will be NO NEW FAMILY DRAMAs, too -- to add to everything else.... Oh Life!!!

Career Change???

Okay, i know am not alone on this one... being frustrated with our JOBs.... the demands... the frustrations... the work load... the hours.... the traveling.... they all get to us now and again... So it got me thinking -- if ever I do decide to leave this job behind... can I take something simple, easy, a NO - BRAINER type of a job....

Well, over the weekend in Kaohsiung, I was watching Todd, a member of the WU family whom I have known since moving here in Taiwan.... we were waiting for him to get off work at PIZZA HUT - he works there while he attending college... I found it fascinating... the whole order taking.... putting together the pizza and baking.... and the easiest part of all, delivering....

So I got to thinking : "WOW!!! I could totally do this JOB!!!!" and even tried getting on their scooter for added measure....
(The "flaming" logo on the RED SCOOTER used for delivering is just wicked cool!!!!
(NOTE: will only do this JOB in Taiwan as I hate the PIZZA HUTS in the US... and even more so, the one at MEGA MALL in Manila... instead I would totally do YELLOW CAB Pizza there... KUDOS to the bright YELLOW SCOOTERS....
gotta try those fro measure next time am in Manila...)
