where is this sun you speak of?

There could be more than a dozen of things that needed to be written here as I have been missing in action for at least a year but let me write about yesterday's event. My sister has been talking about feeding stray cats in a park in Abu Dhabi. She has seen a couple of expats around the area who spend time in the park and feed stray cats! And she thought maybe we could do the same thing. Of course I am all for it. I was once a cat person and I still am. If you ever ask me to choose between cat or dog, I would not probably give an answer but I would recall the time when I used to have a lot of kittens and cats when I was a kid. Dogs were also there but the kittens were easily accessible for me.  This happened yesterday: I can say that around a third of the cats we have fed came to us and rubbed their body against our legs! I guess it is there way of saying thank you! We started around 5 in the afternoon and spent time around the park and walked along Cor...

To be honest, I find it difficult to write in this space these past few months (years, maybe?). It's saddening that I prefer to write business e-mails than writing for my personal blog. It's good that I am focused at work but I know my boss would want me to have a life. I remember her telling me to not stop writing when she asked about my blog a year ago. Here I am again, on vacation, trying to populate this blog with one more entry. Trying to keep the ball rolling and hoping my thirst for writing more comes back! It's a shame. I don't remember how much writing made me feel sane. Isn't it scary to not feel anything you used to love once? I think I need to write more but I also need time for it. These past few months, I always ask myself how did I ever write so much content in my blog? How did I write poems, stories, whatnots? How did I manage to create things and even collaborated with different people around the world through digital media and endless e-mails? H...

 Dear FutureMe, How's it going? I hope things are better now. By that I do not really mean any specifics actually but I hope you are happy wherever you are. You're probably in the same city and working for the same company. A gentle reminder though, work contract will end next year. So what's the plan? Do you still want to stay in the same place or go somewhere new -- this time -- by yourself. Europe, maybe? Speaking of Europe, I hope your Georgia trip happened a month ago and that it was a good one. Finally, after years of talking to a stranger who became the onewholistensyouyourblabberingspatientlyonline friend. I hope nothing weird has happened. Or something unlikable. What's the next step from here? I hope you have a plan. As you always do in everything. But I hope you do have a solid plan. Currently, if this is still interesting to you, I am listening to Smashing Pumpkins' The Mellon Collie demos on YouTube. There's something beautiful with demos. I think i...

 Dear FutureMe, You have turned 27 years old. How does it feel being that age? You never saw it coming, have you? Or maybe you were already aware that you are getting older but you are not really sure about how being 27, specifically, feels like? Sure, it would feel like there really is nothing happening. Nothing will happen when the clock strikes 12 midnight. Nothing. But sooner or later, everything will change. And I hope you won't feel the same. I mean, we all want to progress, right? We do not want to be stuck in the same hole for a year. I hope you will take a leap towards another journey. The journey that neither you nor everyone else would know. But you know something that you need change. Change of environment, career, even routines. I hope you will change for the better. I know you will. Hold on tight! More things are coming in! I hope are you are reading this, you will always remember to be kind and forgive. Sure, you act like a bitch sometimes but you have your own reaso...
