just my luck (yay!)

Never did I think that when I took this job out of college that it would help me fulfill some of my travel dreams so soon. Yes, when you join they say "there is a possibility of travel" but you dont get your hopes up because after all driving to Chicago every couple of months is nice but wears on you but boy oh boy! Last summer it was UK, Ireland and France at no real cost to me (other than personal expenses)... now its London, China and Japan. I will blog about it in the coming days.

a good laugh at work

Random body statistics (these are unverified). But could be good to include in a presentation such as "What do you mean you don't think you can handle it? Did you know a human hair can support 6 pounds? You've got a full head of hair, imagine how much you can handle."

- It takes your food seven seconds to get from your mouth to your stomach...
- One human hair can support 3 kg (6 lb).
- Human thighbones are stronger than concrete.
- A woman's heart beats faster than a man's.
- There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet.
- Women blink twice as often as men.
- The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain.
- Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.
- If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it.

the more things change the more they stay the same

Another year is over... wow! So much happened in 2008. My family has relocated itself to a different continent, I feel that I am much 'older' than I was before, I have a wonderful person who I am now sharing my life with, I am no longer the most junior person at work, I am not as freaked out about the cold weather, I have some new friends I am really happy with...

But I look back at where I was last year, and I feel that not that much has changed in me. Just like last year I want to focus on life changes, habit changes, being healthy, being balanced, having just enough happiness and just enough sadness... I feel Ive made progress forward, not as much as I wanted but definitely progress.


But another year begins... a year that I hope will be even better than the one that just passed.

Anyways... off to catch some sun.

Will write later about:
- Recap of the holidays
- Top 10 memories from 2008
- Travels for the year

tata for now...

PS: The only new plans are that I hope this year I will save more money too.
