Start of a Brand New Day!
It is the start of a brand new day. I have been fascinated with blogging ever since but never really found time to do it (or was I too lazy?). So here I am, trying to psyche myself into blogging, finding time and putting effort to it. I've always liked writing so hopefully I'll find my way back to my roots (hey, I spent 2 years in college with Journalism as my Major). This also reminds me of our 3rd year highschool "diary" but way back then, you only had to use a pen and paper to start. Now everything is being touted as "digital" and "online". Anyway, I'm a Senior Web Designer for a company in Bahrain. My family and I moved here just 2 months ago after 5 years of work in Saudi Arabia. Resigning from my previous company was tough decision to make as it provided stable work and a very good income but sometimes, money doesn't weigh as much when it comes to family concerns. Although a single bridge separates Saudi and Bahrain, we knew life here would be different. Not to say that living in Saudi is bad (you eventually get used to it) but Bahrain is an "open" country: women can drive, cinemas abound, nightlife is blooming, and people are happier. Thus, the decision to move here was basically about living a more normal life. Although it didn't hurt that I also liked the idea of joining a Media company and knowing that my career with this company would eventually lead to my other goals. After spending 2 months here, I could say that every risk we took paid off. We are alive and well in the land of Bahrain!
