I was watching the movie Julie & Julia over the weekend, a movie based on the true stories of Julia Child and Julie Powell. It's serendipitous how I can relate to both characters--- Julia Child who learned the art of French cooking as a way of finding productivity while her husband, a diplomat, was posted in Paris. I was instantly brought to our pre-baby Bangkok days when I was actively blogging, reading books, discovering new recipes and exploring new hobbies while waiting for my husband to come home from work. Julie Powell, on the other hand, is a frustrated writer who is not happy with her job, and started a blog to challenge herself into writing about and trying Julia Child's recipes.
I am perfectly happy being a doctor because I find self-fulfillment in what I do but I am also caught up in between my husband's nature of work and my aspirations. In all fairness to him, he never put a limit to what I want to do, hence, the present LDR set-up so I can finish residency training.
Back to the movie, Julie Powell started her blog in 2002, the height of blogging days. It made me realize how I am so left out in this present generation. Blogging is no longer the hype, Vlogging is. People no longer cares about the written stuff as the newer generation is more inclined to everything visual.
Just like Julie Powell, I wonder if anybody reads this blog? Please write down your comment so I'll know. Perhaps, I will be inspired to start my writing project that I had been putting off for so long. :)
P.S.
Oh, thank you for reading this.
