Ha Ha Ha

Got woken by a dream this morning, and was trying so so hard not to forget it as it was so special. I dreamt of all of us laughing. Distinctively identifying everyone laughter. Giggling like school girls. Just like the good old days.

The good old days of laughing out loud. The good old days of laughing at simple things. Simple things like something we said, someone on the street, our varied random encounters, experiences & stories, bimbo moments, at ourselves, even with a couple of towels made us laugh! And most important of all... when we were all together.

What happened to us now? When was the last time we laugh till tears come rolling out our eyes? What make us laugh now? What make us even smile now a days?

Are we now too grown up to laugh? Are we all too caught up in this crazy world that we've forgotten how to laugh? Are we so tired of our lives that it's not funny anymore? We're so busy in our lives that laugh was just a dream?

Don't give up. Hang in there. Let's us all have the last laughs in Life.

Men In Skirts

I have to say I am never a big fan of guys dress in skirts. Do nothing for me if you get my drift. But over this weekend, I was invited to attend a ball in Edinburgh. The theme was 60's but you can either show up in your black tie dinner suit or kilts of course!

I've no idea there's this whole particularity and different forms of wearing kilts. Not just from wearing your family tartan, but also choosing of the Prince Charlie Jacket, the Sporrans, Ghillie Brogues, Pins, and even how the shoe laces are supposed to be tied! Was totally ignorant of this whole form of knowledge. And the end result? It was greeat! Not on me of course! I wore my DJ but Daniel did. Nothing feminine at all, in fact on the contrary, very smart, very masculine.

The party was great fun. The company was brilliant and I even had a go at doing the Ceilidh dance. The whole party reminds me of a school prom that I've never been. Very nostalgic music and beautiful ballrooms. Was such a laugh!

And for those of you who are wondering... it is true of what's underneath those kilts ;-)

Drama Queen

For the first time ever I threw my first tantrum in the office.

Was quite funny actually. I am usually very composed and calmed, but I think it's because I've been working in Hamburg over the whole weekend, back in the office today and having to go through loads of incompetent people with silly issues! Spending more time on them and not able to do what I've planned to do today. I just lost it! Tore the documents into pieces, shouted out loud and stormed away from my desk! Everyone kind of just freezed and kept quiet. He he!

There are still loads more to do and I'm again going away for the next two days in Channel Islands, Edinburgh this weekend, Washington next and Amsterdam straight after! There's only 24 hours in a day! I need more time!

But you know what? I'm enjoying it as well... just pray that I'll get enough rest and most importantly not neglect the people around me. Please bear with me.

Cheers

Found myself in a Covent Garden pub last Saturday, just before the all important World Cup Rugby semi final game between England and France.

The place was heaving! With loads of beer drinking, high testosterone charged males waiting for the game to start. We got our drinks and positioned ourselves not far from the plasma screen. I even had a 5 minute crush course on rugby. And by then I was set for my very first full length rugby game and I'm going to try to enjoy this!

Not being in a live match or a stadium watching a sporting event before, this was definitely an eye opener for me. The adrenaline rush, all the ever so funny jeering, the constant flow of alcohol and the cheers! Loud and low I might add. Very manly. Very Butch.

And that is when I realised I have a very different cheer from the rest of the room. To be fair, I'm not saying that I was screaming but let just say cheering on Kylie before she come on stage in Wembley is slightly different from the cheers I was hearing in that pub, least to say acceptable (I'm sure some of you can relate to that!).

I found myself lowering my cheer in order to blend in with the crowd and when the final whistle was blown... England won! And the whole place literally shook! People jumping up and down, hugging each other and more cheering and song singing went on further!

I kind of just looked amazed. Really enjoyed the evening, was good fun though a stiff drink was required after all the excitement! So coming back!

Friends Reunited

Over the time of your life... you meet people... you make new friends. There are some who you'll take forever to know and there are some who'll take a minute to know for a life time.

Some 'friends' go... Some friends stay...

There are 'friends' who'll tell you you're their best 'friends' and there will be friends who will not... There are 'friends' whom you desire gratifications from and there are friends whom you will do anything for... There are 'friends' who you see everyday and there will be friends who you do not see for years...

So good to see you Lorenzo. Let's not wait another 6 long years before we meet again.

Take care of yourself and see you real soon!

Love xx

Deja Vu

Was out last night clubbing with friends. Our usual haunt with the usual routine. The fact that it has been a while since the last time we all went out together, everyone was definitely up for a big night out!

While in the club that few hours, things start to fade slowly and most things becomes a blur. Then one came and another one followed shortly after. A deja vu moment. I was in here before. I know this person before. Last night we chatted and I walked away after.

As the night progresses, my friends were ready to go. Again a deja vu moment. I was in here before in the same situation. But this time round, I'm ready to go too. Nothing in there makes me want to stay any longer. Not anymore. Not even with my state this morning.

Something has changed. I have.

Once

What a beautiful movie...

Amazing creativity and talent oozing out from the screen. True emotions coming from both leads that were just pure and simple. Chemistry, admiration, determination and support for each other that was transmitted not just through words and music, but also from looks and silence. On board of their journey from the beginning till the end. A very simple and extra ordinary story of two person's connections told in the most simple and extra ordinary way, with a touch of the ever endearing witty humour and attitude of Irish charm no doubt.

It touches more than just the heartstrings but also make you long for something that real, true and genuine.
