Highway 101

A road trip that took us from Las Vegas and Grand Canyon, drove through Death Valley, Yosemite National Park, Napa Valley and finally San Francisco. Over 10 days and driven 800 miles from Nevada to California.

Having a laugh at the expense of true poor American taste and trying out our luck at the Roulette table in Vegas. Taking in all the amazing sights of Grand Canyon, Death Valley and Yosemite. Passing through Bishop, an old American town that reminds me of 'Northern Exposure'. Tasting and experiencing the great vineyards in Napa. Enjoying the ever so bohemian lifestyle and the beautiful setting of San Francisco. And throughout, fantastic food in brilliant restaurants.

Great adventures, great company, and the fondest memories. Can only wish for more to come.

Do You Believe In Miracles?

If there are really miracles in this world... I've found one. One word... Suqqu.

Suqqu Clear Veil Powder. Tested this out while I was away on holiday and what can I say?! Pure magic!

This silicone based powder is clear and transparent, so it won't leave a chalky residue on the skin. It comes in a sleek black case, and has a fluffy brush in the compartment underneath.

The texture is smooth, and you really can't trace it on the skin. It mattify any oily bits, take away the shine on my forehead, leaving a satiny-matte look. And apparently stretches and smooth the skin and even out fine lines as well.

If this is not miracle, I do not know what is!

Sleepless In London

It's about 3am now and it's the second night in the row. I'm wide awake and couldn't go back to sleep. That's what 10 days in States does to you!

D is still in San Francisco for work and I'm here tossing and turning in bed thinking of unfinished work in the office.

Looks like it's going to be a long day ahead.

What's On The Menu?

Hmm... :-) Came across this in Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

Secret Rendezvous

Anything spontaneous is always exciting, bad and fun, especially when it's like a naughty afternoon with D.

Managed to move my meetings and finished early today and when walked into the flat, D was home too! Both had enough of the long week and came home for refuge.

Before you know it, we were cuddled up on the sofa and falling asleep. Both needed it though and felt so much better after.

I supposed work life will never be perfect and easy, but if along the way one can have a bit of fun and do something unusual and share the enjoyment with someone, I can only hope the journey will be a bit more bearable.

Sian!

It's happening again! That same old feeling... that same old frustration... that same old boredom...

Day in day out... answering emails, phone calls, meetings, reports, projects, targets to meet, pay in, pay out, working with waste of space people, working with ungrateful and never satisfied clients...

Is it just about how much money you make each month? Is it just about the lifestyle you can lead? It is just about what property you can buy? Is it just about how much money you can send home?

Surely there are more meaningful things to do in Life. Surely there are more rewarding things to do in Life. Surely there are more fulfilling things to do in Life. Surely there should be a balance in Life.

I would love to pour my heart and soul, work long hours and truly enjoy what I do but I am not.

This is not a good sign. It's stronger than ever.
