HANZKY: February 2010

Project 0331

Everyday Life February 28, 2010

We're about to enter the third month of the year tomorrow. Crazy how everything seem to move in fast forward mode. Everyone is getting busier each day and it's getting harder to chill back and enjoy the moment.
In this project, I'm trying to take a few minutes off each day, to absorb everything and pay more attention to my surrounding by capturing a moment or a piece of something out of my daily life.
It would be fun..I need to get more mileage from the lumix and/or the 500D. Ohh I'm excited already :))

Twitting Away

Thoughts n Trinkets February 26, 2010

I'm enjoying my personal Twitter account. It's nice to finally be able to just write any junk that I feel like writing. Didn't want to broadcast personal infos on Fashionese Daily or Mommies Daily account because I figured the followers decided to follow those two accounts to read fashion/beauty news and motherhood/kids development tweets not to read my uninteresting personal life :D

At first I just wanted to keep it to my self, but there were times when I wanted to comment on someone's Tweet, so that's how it went around. But I honestly don't hope to have many followers. That's why I don't even put my real name there although hanzkyy is pretty much my Internet identity. I used @awfullyrandom before but it took quite a few characters out of the already limited character available.

I think it's scary to have many followers, at least that's what I thought. I believe that when you already have thousands of followers then you become a media..and people expect you to write something smart, or witty, or inspiring or whatever image it is that they have framed about you. And then if you care, you would start to be careful about what you tweet, wonder if it's going to insult some people or whether you've used correct grammar or not and some other things that it's going to feel like you're under a watch that makes tweeting feel like work.

I also received quite a few questions regarding my somewhat under the radar account. Don't you want to brand yourself?, ask a friend of mine, in which I replied with a big NO right away.

I'm not on Twitter to do personal branding, or to promote something, let alone to inspire or motivate people. I'm not there for something bigger.

I'm just there to be me.

I know what I do is part of who I am but I don't think that's what define me. It helps explain myself, but I'm still the same person without my job. It's my heart that defines me...

Marley & Me

Books Movies & Gadget February 22, 2010

"A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. It was really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not. As I wrote that farewell column to Marley, I realized it was all right there in front of us, if only we opened our eyes. Sometimes it took a dog with bad breath, worse manners, and pure intentions to help us see."

2010 Resolution

Thoughts n Trinkets February 22, 2010

I didn't specifically jot down what this year resolutions are, but I kinda have it in my mind the things that I need to accomplish more and less.
1. Toward the end of the year, I wasn't too proud with my sholat record. Really!. I know I shouldn't justify this but the super cramped space at work really didn't give me a peace of mind when I prayed. I told my self that by the time we moved to bigger office, there's really no reason for me to miss any of it. And that's what happened..:). Now I even feel really bad if I miss it. Not so much because of I feel like I have to, but more like I need to. In a overwhelming world we live in, it's nice to take a few minutes off, to touch the refreshing cold water, to surrender, to put everything aside, and it's just you and your master.
2. Spend more time at home. Which means I have to get home around four. Sadly I haven't achieved this..hopefully the schedule is friendlier next week. I cannot wait to lounge around at home with Jibran & Jehan.
3. Have control of what goes in into my kids mouth, along with my husband mouth, of course. Due to #2, I still cannot cross this list of..:(.
4. Hit the treadmill. I did...for the first time last Sunday :D. Will make it a regular. The goal is three times a week.
5. Save?. Alright, after the big purchase I'm about to bring home this long weekend!. Deal?
