"I will never be one of those women, who stay silent and pretty on the arm of her husband. Or remote and alone in the kitchen doing the washing up for that matter. One’s life must matter, Denis, beyond all the cooking and the cleaning and the children. One’s life must mean more than that. I cannot die washing up a teacup."
-The Iron Lady
I was moved by the movie Iron Lady and there are many quotes which made me tear inside and outside. How tremendous it must be to live a life where people either admire or hold you in contempt. But such is the life of a leader and especially when you are a lady.
Some might find the above quote too feminist. After all, what greater role is there but a mother? But I don't buy it. I'm not saying a mother is not important, but in today's day and age, a father is equally important. So is a politician, an engineer, a teacher, a friend etc etc. I just don't buy into all these hallmark crap.
No matter what you do, your life must matter. And I pray before I die (of old age preferably) that what I do matter. And as far as ambition goes, I have very little to speak of. As long as I enjoy my work, am healthy, have decent friends with no arch enemy to speak of, I would be pleased.
And I do enjoy my work. It's easy going and even though there are hectic moments but not anything I can't handle. I have time to spare for myself, my interests, friends and family. Life is good and God has blessed me so much despite myself.
I'm taking up painting and it's so much fun. I hope to learn more on sketching soon in the near future. Yup, being an adult with spending power is a good place to be. Especially when you are not a parent with small mouths to feed. Just sayin'.

Feeling Good
You know everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
-Will Rogers
I am starting to get the hang of my new office, new colleagues and awesome work environment. I love my ex-colleagues but it's good to get out of the place and be in a conducive work environment. HUZZAH!
I know it's already march but it still feels like I haven't done much in 2012. I am planning to get active and get more involved in things that I always wanted to but never found the time to do. Granted, money is a factor sometimes, but I shall try to just get out there and enjoy single life. That's the beauty of it, that I have all the time in the world and having no responsibilities, this is the best time of my life. The downside is that married friends aren't so flexible with their time but it's a good thing I'm such a hermit. ^^
Hey, doing stuff on my own is way better than being stood up and missing out on the fun just because you want to co-ordinate each other's schedule. PAAAIIINNNN~
Looking forward to catching The Iron Lady (finally!) with P after work. I just know Meryl is gonna knock my socks off!
