Re-start

It's been....more than a year since I last posted on this Azuki blog. One reason was that I got really busy with work and social life here, after finally having a social networking in NY in which to have a life for. Another reason was that things got kind of sidetracked in my life, and I sort of lost focus for awhile. Wait, did I say my life was sidetracked? Let me re-engineer that thought. My life was derailed like a freakin transformer machine had just bitch-slapped a speeding train, causing massive internal injuries for all on board. In between there was a lot of pain, distance, and for some inexplicable reasons, some bed bugs involved. And then a lot of money spent moving as a result of the bed bugs. I will actually coin bb as THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO A HUMAN BEING beyond violent crimes, torture, lost of a loved one, natural disaster, kidnappings...wait, okay a lot of bad things come before bed bugs but they are pretty freakin bad!

But I digress...

I won't go into the details of what actually happened, because well, this is a public blog which my mother reads and i really don't need to upset her more than I already have. Except my mother knows what happened. So I'll just summarize as SHIT HAPPENS. AND THEN WE DIE. THE END. Woa, who knew writing it all out can be so therapeutic!?!

In any case, this blog will now take somewhat of a dark sharp turn, and go from the ironic but uplifting chronicling the adventures of a young wife with a new puppy in a foreign city, to the cynical and ambivalent life of a newly separated single woman squarely in her 30s, barely able to pay her rent in the big apple. Life with Azuki, the crazy puppy, is still crazy because of the puppy. The puppy does not change. But now I am a single mom with a crazy grown dog in a insane city called New York.

And no, the life of single woman in NY is NOT like Sex in the City. You need money, time, and well, sex, to have that. Dude, I'm just living in the city, doing my own thing!


p.s. Azuki is doing great. She continues to get more attention than she deserves (although she doesn't think so), more love and resources than children in many countries will ever see. she is still the pain in the ass, and and the joy of my life!
