indeed tis been a while since i did a proper update. i apologise to those who actually read my blog posts faithfully. thank you for your support and those telling me ‘i secretly read your blog.’ not a secret anymore now.

so i’ve had quite a whirlwind of a few weeks. life is slowly picking itself up as i wait patiently on the high diving board; ready to jump into the next phase of my life. with of course, precision and grace (not a belly flop). i must say that i have been quite blessed to be where i am in life right now. though i wait, i wait patiently sorting things out before i have no time at all. my bedroom has turned into a jungle of paper. my filing case is starting to look like it’s got a thousand tongues of paper ready to spew forth the truth of my non-frugal spending. sometimes i have to resist the urge of turning them all into paper hats, planes, boats, cranes and hanging them off my ceiling. not to mention i’ve bought way too many books. enough to fuel my reading for a year.

the spirit of bougeotte seems to have possessed me. i miss my long-distance friends terribly. especially my dear dear turkish brother who is heading to england to study further. also ma hbiba who is heading off to paris for grad school. i’m so proud of her! if i could i would jump on a plane right now and go on an adventure through LA, new york, miami, mexico, london, paris, berlin, and rome. better say casablanca and marrakesh too in case i get a kick. that of course is in the not-so-near future for me. one can dream though. having goals are good right?

i’ve started up my own twitter (as you can see to the right) and tumblr. just for randomness sake, keeping in touch with my overseas friends, and the tumblr for quick posts (photos quotes, and whatnot).

the more i type the more i’m squinting my eyes. i am tres fatigue. i leave you with my listening list for the night. bonne nuit.

1. we are going to be friends – the white stripes
2. home – edward sharpe & the magnetic zeros
3. new york baby – leonna naess
4. on my mind – leonna naess
5. i adore you – melpo mene

the line “it’ll never happen to me” came to my mind this evening. i wondered how many times i’ve said it to myself and others as a kid, a teen and a young adult. what ever i’ve said would never happen to me has happened. so never assume something will never happen to you. just be on your guard and be ready for what ever comes your way.

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” Dr. Seuss
