I am now aged 30+3 days. Congratulations to myself for being really grown-up. Nothing seems changed, i am still others' daughter, other's wife, others' college lowb friend......people say 30 is the beginning of the 2nd half of life. well, i am more than satisfied if i can live up to 60, i don't want to be any older. i hate being a 80 & 90 forever-living creature...
the old blogs mentioned my 'dreams' & things to do. thanks to my friend who reminded me on b-day as i have almost forgotten what i wrote
let's see how much i have achieved --
- Visiting the middle east: still long way to go but good start with visiting iran. finally i got the chance to sit next to all the blackly covered ladies in a metro!. strong feeling inside but can't describe by words.... they were once so far away from me but suddenly becoming so close.. wow! wishing to interview the local women organization but it turned out to be a charity place, still nice but indeed i don't care about the poors in iran, what i want to know is the inequality & status improvement of women in ME. still thanked our travel agent for being so professional but i will not give up any chances making contacts with these organizations, if there is any.... next target: i wouldn't tell anyone (people will think i am crazy) but i wish to join the reporters' tour organized once awhile. iraq is not attractive at all for me.... i should not use the word 'attractive' but the dreamplace is Afghanistan...Taliban, 'terrorists', afghan kids, afghan mothers and sisters.... "DOWN on USA" - Is it really something we, as a human on earth, should voice out at?
- Sketching: too slow progress made.... really can't help as it all depends on 'mood' & 'emotion'...but truly i enjoyed the drawing process, with dirty black fingers putting on white paper, i feel like getting closer to the character and knowing them more by sketching the eyes out gradually.
- Books: don't know since when my handbag becomes quite heavy. i kept looking for unnecessary things that contribute to the weight but i could not get rid of anything... there are unused plastic bags, cosmetics, wallet and a book. yes, i have promised myself to get advancement daily by reading few pages which i do and it now becomes a habit.... an unexciting habit. i don't see surprises in the content anymore ... interests are still there but i just don't get the correct energy. i really need a EASY book, a book easy to read, a language easy to understand.
currently reading: "Reading Loita in Tehran", literature digest with political critics.
- Career: being transferred to another division finally... good or bad? cannot tell for the moment.... i do not earn more (as far as i understand it) and colleagues keep worrying about the new workloads, office politics...etc... i hope i am not too confident but i definitely like this change! yes, i am clear on this, i like it.
