Currently – Jan 2016

Happy February!  I admit, I slacked off last week in terms of blogging and then what do you know, January was over like that! It’s been an eventful January in more ways than one and not necessarily in a good way.  But I won’t get into it here as it’s not really my drama to share. So, just a quick update on what’s been going around in my world! I have one more holiday recap coming up and then it’s back to expat living in Singers!

Currently January

Watching: Since I got back from New York, I’ve admittedly not had any time to watch TV.  Although I finally watched one episode of “Making a Murderer”…

Listening to: Random hip hop and Mumford and Sons.  I think I’m feeling a little blue, hence the Mumford and Sons. Although, I’m not that blue as I haven’t started listening to Portishead yet. What do you listen to when you’re down?

Reading: I have to say, I’ve put reading You: A Novel by Caroline Kepnes on hold.  I got into it for a bit and then when I carved some time to read, it just didn’t call to me, maybe one day I’ll get around to finishing it.  But I still managed to read! I’ve been catching up on the last two books by Patricia Cornwell, more specifically Flesh and Blood and now I’m on Depraved Heart.  I can’t believe I’ve been reading this series of books for 20 years now. Still really enjoy Kay Scarpetta as a character and I do love me some crime thrillers.

Wishing: For a drama free 2016.  I must admit, this year has started off pretty rocky, lots of unnecessary drama and rifts in friendships.  Luckily it doesn’t involve me directly, but I have gotten sucked in.  The dust is starting to settle on some fronts only for it to be kicked up in other areas.

Excited for: To be honest, I’m not sure.  I need to take a step back and figure out what it is that I want.  I’m confused by a lot of things and am also coming to terms with some realizations.  Sometimes you realize that what you have been fighting for it not actually what you want. Has that happened to you? I know, lots of cryptic mumbo jumbo, but… Work in progress!

Looking forward to: One day at a time. Yeah, kind of weird to be excited for that, but I do fear that 2016 is going to be a difficult year.  I’m not sure I’ll have a job at the end of the year so am also planning for Plan B.  I have something in mind, something I’ve thought of doing for some time, so maybe now is the chance?  But I’m also trying to not get too ahead of myself, so… I do have a couple of weekends away planned, so will be nice to have some change of scenery and I know some beautiful beaches are in my near future, Phuket and Redang, I’m looking at you!

Missing: Honestly? I miss being held. Not a quick hug from a friend, but properly held and cuddled. It’s been a long time! And who knows when I’ll meet someone..?!

Enjoying: The company of my friends. My best friends here, Ana and Bhavesh, have been so great this past month and I’ve also been making new friends.  They’ve made me laugh so, so much until my sides hurt.  It’s good to laugh!

Loving: The explosion of clean eating eateries around my office.  It was just a matter of time before this exploded and now I’m reaping the benefits.  Finally, more choice to healthy eating than just a salad.  And this new Sunday spot, Sunday Funday has just gotten so much better up at Mount Emily.

So how did your January fare?

Always looking for the next adventure; the next thrill. One day she will find home, most likely where she started off. But even then that's a convoluted answer!

Hi, I’m Julie

Hi, I’m Julie

Welcome to Jewels Wandering! I'm a serial expatter. Wait, is that even a word? I have been moving from one country to another since I was born, having most recently moved back to New York City from Singapore. We all have a story to tell and mine has definitely been an unconventional one. Let's be friends!

Peace out, 2021! 

It wasn’t the greatest year, but it also wasn’t the worst. But I’m glad for this year and it was the year I needed to get back into my own skin and rise! 

Tell me what the best part of 2021 was for you! 

Happy New Years! May 2022 bring you all the love, success and good health! 🤍✨🤍✨

It’s Christmas week! What is everyone up to? I’ll be staying put in NYC with some very low key celebrations. In all honesty, I haven’t really gotten into the festive spirit this year. Do you go all out for the holidays?

Happy December from Key West! It’s been a minute but as the darkness envelopes us earlier in the day, it’s easy to feel out of sync. I must admit, it’s thrown me off and I’m ready to sleep come 7pm but it’s dinner time! So if you’re in Key West, I’d tell you to go have dinner at Blue Heaven which is just off Duval Street. You’ll love it! And if you don’t, then next dinner on me 😉

Manatees and turquoise colored houses, oh my! Love the cheerful colored houses in Key West, it’s a stark contrast from the brick and glass that is NYC! Key West was so fun to walk around and get lost in, my head was like on a swivel trying to catch every detail. Take me back! Have you been?

Welcome to my home. Thought I’d give you a sneak peek! Just kidding, it’s an art gallery/home goods store in Key West that I fell in love with! Unfortunately it was closed at that time and it’s appointment only in the summer. Can you see yourself lounging here? If you’re in Key West, go check them out and report back! ☺️ Where’s your favorite store/gallery?
