Back to crawling ...

Now that I'm figuring out how this whole blogging world goes I feel that I'm back to crawling ... like a baby inching herself towards something fascinating ...

Amidst the challenges of getting acquainted with all the codes and processes that comes with maintaining a blog site, I find myself enjoying the experience. I feel like I've managed to reinvent myself in becoming a tech apprentice. Hopefully like my baby Bianca, who's unstoppable in running, I'd soon surprise myself running the site like a pro (with fingers crossed!)

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

i've always considered myself a know-how person when it comes to computer together with all its attachments (emails, web search, internet ... whatnots). Yes, i am not a tech-freak but i'm confident to say that i can log in and send message to my friends without my mom holding my hand! and yet now i feel frustrated!

Frustrated since i dont know how to get started in linking people to my site! Frustrated that i dont know how to go about putting a shoutbox in my site! aaaaahhhhhhhh!

inhale ... exhale ... whew! needed to get that steam off me and just put my thoughts down ... coz after all the venting ... i know i would want to read this entry in the future and say to myself that i've survived and conquered all my frustrations in the world of blogging technology ...

i just hope i get to read this SOON!!! ... hehehehhe

Complex yet Simple

I am now writing my very first mind-fart ... with this i can now say that I'm officially launched in the blogging community. I say officially since i have been a ghost visitor to some of the sites here.

Like my friend Duke, Ms. 'Confessions of an Expat's Wife", I am also married to an expatriate. Our recent posting here in India gave me an incomparable realization about the complexities of life. After going through the bitter sweet adjustment of physically relocating home, there's this enormous mental challenge that i had to conquer. I had to search comfort out of my comfort zone ...

The first time I heard from my husband that we were moving to India I freaked out! Not because I didnt have any clue what goes on in India but i was fearful of not being able to see the familiar faces and not being able to do the things that quite fit in my routine. My mind went through a web of numerous uncertainties ... from the most sane concern (what kind of health service do they have in India?!) to the most trivial (who will i go with to the spa?!) . For a time i was torn between the chance of reinventing myself in a new country vis-a-vis sticking with the things that i'm used to doing.

Still the inevitable came ... after 4 months of being in india ... with all boxes unpacked ... with Bianca enrolled in a nice playschool ... everything seems to be in place. Of course the process of adjusting did not come as swiftly as night is to day but at least i can say that i'm getting there. I'm still challenged by how different the culture is here and will continue to ponder on the illogicals that seem logical here. In all the complexities i'm faced with in this uniquely diversified country, it all boils down to how i manage things. Now i've learned that the key in making life sane is to do with what you have and celebrate the things that He has given. And that's how i find comfort out of my comfort zone.
