A Homemaker’s Diary

It seems that everyone I know is furthering their studies. Few are doing their doctorate and yet I am still finding for fund to do graduate study, which keep on bugging me what graduate study I should consider myself doing.

I don’t think I would be happy to go through those technical path again. Those years of learning Engineering Maths, the formulas and theory, it is like a nightmare for me. I love using computer but those digital logic circuit and assembly language were too much for me to bear. I sighed in relief when I passed the papers.

I thought if I were to further my studies it should be something related to e-commerce and the kind of business that I am doing at the moment. Checking out this website: http://www.selectitschools.com made me realize that not all IT programs revolve around programming and web designing.

Their E-Business & E-Business Management program sounds cool. But I still have to consider my ability to tackle those programming language – PHP, XML as mentioned in their syllabus. To tell you the truth I can’t even come out with Hello World! using C..sigh! I know for Hubby it will be a simple stuff but I can’t let him do all my assignments again this time..huhu!

NVM, I will look for other option. Worse still, I will consider taking baking as my further study..wink!

I told you I’ll be taking a break so I will be watching TV like there’s nothing else in this world to do..haha! I used to follow Law & Order series until recently when I got hook with so many stuffs to be settled. But other new series like Criminal Minds and Bones are still in my must watch series. Call me TV junkie, I don’t care!..hehe..

For those interested to move up your career ladder but need to have higher education and professional career training, check out this website at http://www.schoolsinstlouis.com. Their campuses are all located in metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri.

Their Criminal Justice Degree Programs look interesting but I am not sure what I can do with such degree here. Anyway if somehow Hubby get new job there and I am free with nothing to do at home in St. Louis, getting another degree with totally different branch of studies will certainly be a challenge for me. I love learning new things, it’s the exam that I hate..sigh!

In another thought, I’m not sure my brain is still not too rusty to be a college student..heh!

I love watching Scrubs. It is hilariously funny and weird especially when they over exaggerate certain scene. But it makes me wonder what could happen if I take medical degree instead of engineering. Will I be a doctor now or I still end up being a homemaker after going through the 7 years journey of medical degree..hehe!

If you are still not sure which path of career you should take, perhaps a look at Health Education Program will give you some ideas. Check out the site at http://www.selectmedicalschools.com. I have a second cousin who pursued her studies in Nursing and now working in UAE medical center earning USD8k per month. Damn, I should have think twice when I submitted my application to further my studies 11 years ago.

Perhaps with the emergence of so many spas and beauty treatment centers in my local town, I should consider taking Massage Therapy Diploma Program. I might not be a doctor or a nurse, but I can still help heal the pain..hehe!

If you feel like traveling to all those distant places that you can only hear and read about (or watch on TV), check out this travel blog. I love the pictures they share and the stories about all the trips they made. How I wish I will have the chance to tour around the world, to see all the exotic places, to immerse in the new culture and meet people of different races and ethnics.

For now I will settle with reading the stories on this travel blog. At least it will feed my curiosity till I have enough money to really take the first step of my adventurous journey..haha! You know, those people from the RealTravel community really have exciting stories. There is one couple who explores Germany and Austria mainly via bicycle. Check out their picture of Salzburg. Such a serene place, huh! No wonder Mozart could come out with great music with a landscape as soothing as this in his birthplace.

If you are an avid traveler and feel like sharing the stories of your world tour, get a free travel blog as well. It will be easy for you to keep track of your road maps, upload unlimited pictures of the trip and share them with your family and friends. Who knows with the existence of the travel blog, you will gain more new friends with similar interesting travel experience or even different perspective of the same place you have been.

And in the mean time, I am reading the stories of people traveling throughout Southeast Asia. Those travel trips to Chiang Mai and Ho Chi Minh City really paint a vivid reality of Asian living and culture. It looks like a rough and raw experience but I’m sure beneath it there is some uncovered gems that will shimmer in your memories forever.

Lately I think I have been experiencing stress and extreme fatigue. I’m sure it must be because of the busy schedule and workload I tend to put on myself but in a way it relates to lack of good nutrition and detox problem as well. Sometimes when I am too engrossed with my work, I tend to neglect eating and drinking. I manage to survive on few pieces of crackers and packed drinks until dinner time, which I know is not a proper meal.

So here I am online looking for more information on how to maintain my natural health. I’ve tried reflexology and body massage last 2 weeks but I think I still need to take some special natural health supplements to provide all the trace minerals that are missing from today’s food.

Especially with the kind of diet that I am having, I’m sure my body is missing what it needs to survive healthily. The only concern is that I kind of lack the discipline to regularly take the natural health products that I bought. Well, this time I will try my best to stick with the plan. I need to stay healthy if I want to manage my business successfully.
