Neglecting

I have been neglecting you again.
I promised myself to have a posting up at least once a week.
Three weeks later this is the posting. Lame I know.

As a wise friend once told me there is a new beginning in a Monday, a new month, a new year, etc...
Well June is coming soon so there's the new beginning.

So I will renew my promise.
More posting to come... I hope.

It takes so little...

Manners. It's sexy.

I met someone the other day where the simple act of stepping aside to let the lady walk through the door elevated him from a nice guy to an attractive man. I'm not saying just the act made the difference because there are plenty of guys who do that. Thank God. What was really attractive was that this guy did it very naturally like breathing. We must have walked through a lot of doors. We were taking a tour. Each and every door he would let me pass first even if I was last one to approach the door. He waited. He did it with such ease, very graceful. You could tell he did it not to impress but because that was the way he was raised.

It was nice to be treated like a lady. Receiving special attention and feeling safe and protected. A brave knight nearby.

Very attractive.

May

Can you believe it? It's already May. May 7th actually.
Wow, it's been over a month since my last entry.
I apologize for neglecting you, my friends. I know you are constantly coming to my blog for updates but finding nothing. I am sorry.

Well my excuse is the new job, it's spring, we working on the apartment, etc... You can pick whichever one that allows you to forgive me. =)

So what's going on with me?
Nothing much but I swear I've been really busy. Don't ask me with what. I don't remember anything. Every day is a blur. And it's not just you I've been neglecting. I've been neglecting everyone and everything. Oh, I was sick for a good two weeks. Sinusitus. This year's allergy season has been fierce. If you been watching the news you know I'm not making this one up. Well I'm one of the victim. It's so bad that I'm seeing an allergy specialist this Friday. Hopefully she'll give me some workable solution then buying Claritin every week. It's not only expensive but difficult to find. The shelves in Duane Reade and CVS are empty.

Work. Been working for 6 weeks now. It's good. The first few weeks I was a bit stressed out. Not knowing exactly what my responsibilities are and having to wait until I get training to do anything really substantial got my nerves on edge. As I've been saying to some people it's like knowing there will be a tsunami coming once I get those trainings. I didn't know what I was doing and it worried me. Also the culture of corporate world is very new to me. I've never been in it and it's quite foreign. Training? What's that? I've never got any proper/formal training in my life. Always learned on the job, on my feet. Lots of committees and meetings before starting anything. Again very foreign. I usually had an idea, proposed it to my one boss, get approval and then did it. Now I have to pitch my idea, check with various people, wait for approval, try it, get feedback and maybe continue or start the process again. But after two weeks and learning a little how to maneuver through the culture and starting on some of the projects, I started feeling better, a little more comfortable in my role.
More later...

Apartment. As you may or may not know, my sister Christina has bought an coop in Brooklyn. Since I'm living with her, I will be moving to Brooklyn as well. I want to move actually. I look forward to having a larger space. A living room AND a dining room. =) The apartment is charming. Eastern Parkway is a beautiful street. We're near the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and the art museum. The renovation started. We're doing the bathroom, kitchen and the floors. Currently we're in the demolition stage. Weekends have been taken by shopping for tiles, cabinets, fixtures and lighting. Hopefully we'll be done by June or July. When it's ready I'm going to throw my first of many dinner parties.

I'm gonna try and update this blog regularly.
Thanks for letting me know you're checking it and want more.
I'll try and not disappoint.
