random stuff I like

I like people who are humble, those with humanity and those who help me lift at work or anywhere. 

 I don't mind young individuals with ambitions but in the real sense of the word, not rushed, taking their time until one is ripe for the picking.  So many people are in a hurry to be promoted even sometimes they simply are too raw and would want nothing more but just push pens and hide in a corner office. 

The most genuine, helpful people  I know are not the managers at work but the salt of the earth, hardworking, conscientious professionals who are so kind.  There's this one person who has the instinct to set aside his earnings and invest his money in fine endeavours.  He's kind of sometimes exist on noodles, spending  less on food, with such high instinct to save and invest.  I don't want to be as extreme but I have to try to save a little for the future. 

I like those who discuss culture and politics.  Politicians actually decide how we are going to live.  Brexit concerns finance and economics, it's not creating a nirvana for the melanin-challenged souls. The amount of hate and revulsion that exist amongst people is mind-boggling.  Is that from upbringing?  I don't know. 

I believe in diversity.  We enrich our lives by hobnobbing with people from other countries.  Sometimes we're disappointed as we have certain expectations about others.   But other times, in my case, I just observe and get a feel of the situation. There are new things to learn and discover every day. When we learn, it makes us better human beings. 

early September

Going to Kensington Palace on a nice day in early September was a highlight of my month.  That was cool, breezy weather, not too hot nor too cold. I could feel the essence of Hyde Park.  I feel like doing my exercises.  But I made huge strides on my step count, as walking for most days is my only form of exercise. 

Princess Diana, is a cautionary tale of marrying too young.  I read about her affairs. Was she in essence, always heartbroken?  She is just a figment of history for millenials.  A blur in time, remembered as a tragic figure who lent her name to causes as obscure as Land Mines and as controversial as HIV awareness.  Her sons now are kick-ass individuals who fly helicopters and spearhead the Invictus Games. In Prince Harry's case, who fought in wars and saw action in the battlefield, in addition to continuing her legacy in her chosen charities.  My friend Joy brought me to see her dresses in May. I'm so grateful for  that experience. I'm thinking of going to her garden again this Autumn.

Now, the weather is colder, the proper winter is in the reckoning.
