• Life in the world of Janet :)

  Sooo much to catch you up on. OMG. Firstly – Alun got Covid, bless him. We were just about to pack the car for our few days away down south “Glamping” (the tents looked gorgeous – I’ll upload some pics of the ‘Glamping tent’ later from my phone) and Alun had a sore throat and […]

• Choosing the path less travelled

  That’s something about myself that I genuinely like…I don’t give up easily. I am a resilient f**ker, me. I will keep moving forward even when it hurts like a bastard. So, I’m going to work every single day and I’m doing my best on invoices that read like Japanese to me. I don’t understand Japanese. […]

• Conversations with Dad

  

  I don’t remember meeting my Dad, you know. He came into my world when I was 3 years old. Suddenly in our tiny, dirty, shabby Filipino village was a tall white man with a twinkle in his eye and a friendly grin. I don’t remember how we got to be Dad and Daughter…we just were…and […]

• Pretty pink imposter

  #scammed #identitytheft #betrayed #used #conned #prettypinkimposter #howcouldyou #shameonyou #why It’s 12:20am and Alun (praise God) is fast asleep, resting tonight (this morning?) before he starts his 12 hour shift tomorrow from 11am – 11pm. He’s hurting a lot and is very unhappy – he’s going through a lot of really hard things so I’m glad […]

• A cause I’m passionate about and why

  #bloganuary #bloganuary2022 #bloganuarychallenge I’ve been homeless, hungry, dirty and without hope…so every month, I donate to the Homeless Shelter here in Perth WA. Therefore, the cause I’m passionate about – Homelessness. Particularly how to get homeless people a SAFE place to sleep at night. I have written a prototype for a project I’ve named “A […]

• The State that I’m in

  Firstly, the blessing is that I’m loved. I have SO MANY amazing, caring, sweet, incredible friends, an extraordinary husband and a Mom who loves me so very much. She drives me nuts, but she’s my Mom. I’m so thankful for at least ONE parent in my life. I will forever miss my Dad being around. […]

• If you could, what year would you time-travel to and why?

  #bloganuary #bloganuary2022 #BloganuaryChallenge #BloganuaryPrompt21 The answer for me is easy – 2009. The BEST and worst year of my entire life. The worst – Because I decided my marriage was breaking me down so I asked for a divorce. I singlehandedly moved from the house with my then-husband in UK back to Australia and I […]

• I’m cured! JKS. I’m still very unwell

  The thing with being discharged from a PSYCHIATRIC WARD is that people without mental illness think it means you’re “all better” again when in reality, you’re FAR from it. I feel like I’ve been yeeted back into a dark, roaring ocean and I’m back to fighting for my life. Kicking hard with my legs to […]

• Learning and growing

  It’s been 2 weeks since I was first admitted to the Psychiatric Ward here at Hollywood Clinic. I can’t believe it’s been so long, it only feels like a few days. I’ve learnt a lot in group therapy about calming myself down when I feel distressed, about “radical acceptance” of things I can’t change and […]
