Almost Grasped, But Not Quite

I forgot how to write.

I’m thinking of getting off the Net for a while, Net at home that is. Ever since we had DSL at the flat, I am always, as in always, online and it’s not making me productive. That means I haven’t been doing much lately. Just surfing the net, ym-ing, and… basically that’s it. Ugh. I’m sooo slow reading my books. And I hate it because I have this habit of finishing the book I read first even though I want to read the one which I bought next. I have three books in waiting while I force myself to finish Almost Moon. Don’t get me wrong, Alice Sebold’s book is great but I don’t know which is dragging which, the plot or my days. I have my art supplies waiting in vain too. I bought and received them for Christmas but until now, I haven’t started a sketch, not even a dot. Grrr. So yeah, I better take a break from being online too much.

Right after I get home, I’ll be eating a light snack while reading and then taking a nap instead of going online. Then on to dinner and some tv time (because yeah, I haven’t watched Wowowee since er, I couldn’t remember the last time! And even if I’m not really missing the show, I miss lounging in the sofa with the people at home and being able to share what I watched with the people at work). I will try to sleep earlier too. I started last night by sleeping at 9 o’clock. It worked fine until I woke up past midnight and couldn’t sleep again til 2am! Hmn, it takes a lot of getting used to but it will work. Been there, done that.

I’m feeling sad
lately. I don’t know. Maybe it’s an effect of staying at home for two days without going out… on a weekend. Bummer! Yep, I am suffering from “cabin fever.” The moment I walked out in the sun today, I squint and I realize, hey, there’s life outside! Alleluia! Gawd, I’m pathetic.

I hate not having someone to talk to. I’m madaldal and I can talk about anything under the sun, except physics and math. But this is the moment when I want a coffee night. I need it. Really, really, need it. I want to see and talk with my friends and I want my iced white chocolate mocha, thank you. I want to get drunk in the euphoria of a Friday night when everyone is going out of their work to meet up and have some fun because it’s a weekend after. I want to travel somewhere. I’ll go for an impromptu one. Zambales? Baguio? Tagaytay? Anywhere but here! Now!

Yeah I know, this is an effect of boredom. Gawd, I’m bored!

I am praying that this will pass.

Saudi Arabia is known as the world’s largest oil-producer. It’s the seat of Islam. It’s known for its vast deserts and crazy hot weather.  It’s known as the strictest and most conservative country in the world. It’s known for Osama Bin Laden, human rights violations and OFW abuses…

But did you know that you do not know anything about Saudi Arabia unless you’ve landed and lived here? Aside from the news about some of our kabayans’ sad and lonely plight in the Middle East, there is actually a life in Riyadh that doesn’t include harsh treatments every single day . Don’t be fooled by the rumors and misconception about this country. But if you have lots, then this blog is just the thing for you:

It’s a look on the lighter side of life in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as told by four girl friends who are currently living and working in the Kingdom.

It’s time we all have insights about the other side of the coin, yes?
