All I want for Christmas...

. . .  is a loving man, who is not unavailable, who is not afraid, who is not playing games.

And more importantly, positive feedback on my KPIs at work and a bigger bonus for next year!

Intergalactic communication and soy sauce

I often find myself talking to a sleeping man; he is not physically present when I talk to him, it is an intergalactic communication.

Isn't it hilarious how you send a message to someone at the other side of the globe knowing that he is asleep at that time, and he is not physically able, or available,  to read the message at that point in time?  I seriously doubt he is reading my emails at 4am in the morning unless he is a vampire of some sort...

Even more hilarious is that, despite the fact,  you go on and send the message, and go on with your life until hours later when he replies as if it was just now that you texted him. You are probably asleep by that time, and HE knows that, too.

Oh what an anti-climax that is, and the sweetest thing ever at the same time.

Time difference or distance doesn't count when you just want to talk to someone and make your presence felt.

And life goes on with the intergalactic communication...

On another note, if you haven't tried broccoli with soy sauce, then this is the time to do it. I ran out of olive oil the other day and tried soy sauce on my freshly-boiled broccoli. It. Was. Awesome.

I think soy sauce just goes with anything and I am easily entertained.

HBFS: harder, better, faster, stronger

My doctor the other day was trying to pierce through a cyst I have in my eyelid and he said in surprise "Gosh, are you not in pain? You're so strong, how can you not feel this?"

I smiled, thinking that this is not my idea of pain. I have experienced loads more pain than that in my life. I am pretty tolerant to physical pain. But yes, the doctor was right, I realize now, I am stronger than I thought, stronger than the average you... 

Whenever something hurts me,  I spend time on my own to resume normal activity. I already feel better, faster, stronger. You bloody man, you thought I would go down so easily? Pfff, no way.

I am alive and I am here for long. 

Constant incompleteness, part two

I am not being arrogant nor ignorant. But the truth is I still feel incomplete. And yet my life is so full of little moments of action, adrenaline, happiness, supposedly completeness. A checklist of things I did in the past month. Still not enough to please me.

Completed the 42 km of the Athens Classic Marathon route.

Spent countless hours stuck in traffic trying to make my way home/to work.

Stayed at a magnificent hotel for 3 days on a business trip to England.

Completed a 10km race in Athens followed by brunch by the beach on a rainy day.

Spent a night at the Hilton hotel in Athens...

Spent loads of money shopping, shopping, shopping!
