And it was on the 31st July 1998 that I landed in London!!
I can't believe how fast time has gone. And 9 years later here I am!
Initially i was going to be here only for 2 years, but I guess I liked it too much and with one excuse or another stayed well passed the 2 year mark.
9 years in summary:
- I have lived in 7 houses
- Met people from all continents
- Travelled to many countries I have never been to before
- Visited far too many bars/ pubs
- Drunk lots of beer (well not so much beer), wine, whiskey, tequila...... house cocktails from all those parties
- Worked for over 7 years at IBM ....... how i managed that i will never know!!!
- Made fantastic friendships that I hope last many years
- Found and lost love
- Cried a little and laughed a lot
It has been an amazing journey and what I take with me most of all is the fact that I got to know me...... to know who I am and what I stand for, what makes me happy and what drives me to move forward. I have learnt how precious the little moments are with the people that you care about and how I thrive for live and love. I have learnt to treasure happy memories that always come handy when times are difficult.
Most of all I have learnt the value of friendship.... and how friends, specially when you live far from home, are more than friends...... And even though some come and some go, because that is the nature of relationships, the main ones stay for very long time. And even though I'm crap at staying in touch with everybody, all live in my thoughts!
Happy 9th Anniversary Me!!!!!!
