Reflections
It is a new year once again. A time once again to reflect on one's life for the past year. I had alot of changes in my life in 2008. The biggest being changing jobs. I spend around 75% of time overseas now due to work related reasons. In the past 7 months I have been to places I have never thought I will go to like Hungary and Montreal. I suppose I can say that I am an experienced traveler now.
Personally, I hate traveling. I wish everyone can get to places via magical means like in Harry Potter. Unfortunately, we cannot and the fastest way is via airplanes. To me these days, air travel means running from one terminal to another to catch my connecting flights, trying to re-route when flights get delayed/canceled and figuring the most cost efficient flights and routes. Its a BIG BIG pain. However, I did learn through all the pain that I am able to deal with unpredictability and changes and so far, Thank God, I have always managed to find my way home safely.
I have also learned that I hate snow. When it snows, traffic slows to a crawl and the chances that my flights get delayed or canceled skyrocket. I hate having to put on numerous layers of clothes every time to just to step out somewhere and freezing in the cold because I am wearing too few layers. I really do not understand the fascination with snow. I much prefer living in tropical country, thank you very much.
Those are some of the little things I have discovered about myself in 2008. What have you discovered about yourself?
