Don’t play the victim card. Your results are your own. Find a way to make it happen.


Now more than ever, I need to call upon everything in me. The tenacity, the grit, the audacity and the sticktoitiveness to succeed.
A couple of challenges lie ahead of me.

At work, I am trying to launch a new campaign that would use some amazing marketing tools to reach both existing and new customers, using robust technology. This way I would continue to have fun in my job.

In my personal life, I will be placing my hopes on the team of IVF specialists and in God's hands. The next couple of months to tell if we will become parents. Yesterday is the first step into the journey with laparoscopy, next will be my partner's examination and then we will be on our way for hormonal treatments. The IVF treatment carries a 40% success rate which is great compared to natural methods of 25% in any given month.

At the same time yesterday, we received really good news from the Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre informing us the application is almost complete. We just need to depart from Australia for at least 10 working days so the full evidencing process will be completed at the Australian High Commission. So in the midst of extreme work schedules and IVF treatment, I have to leave the country.

In the meantime, we are finalising our building plans for our first home in Australia. We are in the midst of making minor changes to the plan and hopefully be able to compare quotes from 2 different builders. Cant wait to have my own painting & sewing room, walk in robe and a bathtub for my tired limbs.

So lots are happening, my destiny is my own to craft. I will take the bull by his horns and I will prod on to victory. I promise that myself!


For this post, I am drawing my inspiration from this lovely princess.

I first saw this fine art at The Customs House in Sydney. The exhibition is called The Regal Twelve, 12 princesses have been featured by artist Alexia Sinclair. But this princess Christina of Sweden captured my interest. Christina also known as Christina Alexandra ascended to the throne at the age of 7. She was brought like a prince, is a model student, mature for her age, has a bright intelligence and is the first royal to adopt Catholism (Swedish royal were Protestants). Often people in the court says "she is at all not like a female". She often discuss ideas with the philosopher Rene Decartes. She's known as the androgynous queen and is often used as a icon for lesbianism.
