Yesterday I had this crazy busy day driving around the island, running errands and doing chores. As per usual I had the radio on full blast when alone in the car and Bad Guy by Billie Eilish came by. I’ve always loved the vibe of this song! Feels like getting ready for battle music. I never really listened to what it was about, so I decided to look up the lyrics today, along with the lyrics for Blur by MØ. (That last song is too dark for the title of this short post.)
I kinda gave up trying to make up for the last almost year of not blogging…I have been writing in my head all the time, but never took the time to put fingers to keyboard, I am just too busy playing outside.
To sum it up, I have been back on Curacao for 4 months and have been working for 2 now. I am working as a terrestrial researcher and consultant at the Carmabi Research Institute, one of the 3 companies I was aiming for. The work for now is mostly physically challenging, with long days in the thorny bush as I am part of the research party that is mapping the vegetation of the Christoffel National Park.

In the meantime, I am making new friends, re-acquainting myself with old ones and had many, many visitors the last few weeks! Also making not friends, as I discovered today...Some people's minds take funny turns, but I am cool with not being liked. I like me.

I celebrated another birthday, in style this time, with a lovely mix of old and new friends on Klein Curacao.
I got back on Facebook, still HATE IT, so if you want to reach me, cindymneman on Insta is the best way, I will not post anything and most definitely not look up anyone on Facebook. It sadly still is the best way to hear about events on the island. And even so I miss most of it, because, as I said, I am too busy playing outside…
Back to Billie…these lyrics, man…gotta love music, how it so often can find you at the exact moment you need it. Today was a good day. And yes, I feel ready for battle. Give me your best shot, new week! Bon siman!
