Are you living your dream?

Just for today, let’s pretend everything's ok. More than ok, just for today, let’s pretend everything’s perfect. Just for today, let’s pretend there’s nothing else but this. Just for today…

Just for today let’s focus on the bright side. Let me remind myself that I’m actually where I wanted and worked hard to be, just for today. Just for today, I’ll put all my worries aside and will smile.  Will smile for things may, actually, not be perfect, but I’m on the right path, just for today. Just for today, I’ll have it in mind. What about you, are you living your dream ?

Remember the days...

...the warm sunny days, followed by cold nights around the fireplace...

Last week was just crazy busy at work. Now it's just busy...
There's a lot going on in every single aspect of my life and I just don't feel I have the time to deal with it all... 

in a Lennon mood.

Sorry, you will have to put up with a few more images of my amazing break!

One way or another...

"I love everything that has been

Everything that no longer is

The pain that does not hurt me anymore

The old and mistaken faith 

The yesterday that the pain left

What joy left

Just because it was, and flew

And today is already another day."

(Fernando Pessoa)

step by step...

Time is flying and the year is almost over...
I miss snow...
I do like the sun... A LOT! but it's waaaaaaay too hot... and, as I've said before, I hate floods!!! (and Tina, water takes quite awhile to drain, because of all the trash people throw in the streets). But I'm starting to remember that I actually like summer storms...
They's refreshing and liberating... And the smell... oh! I love the smell of summer rain... and the rainbow! ;o)

Let me confess something to you... something that I'm trying not to think about...
The thing is, I'm afraid the end will end... I'm quite scared of it...
I'm scared of having to REALLY start over... of not being able to look at 2011's time line and see myself in Paris... I'm afraid of turning the page and that people will also turn theirs...
but I know new beginnings are always welcome and there's nothing like a fresh start, right?
But if things could just slow down... juts a bit...
For now, I'll just catch my breath for those next couple of weeks will be quite speed as a matter of fact.
Have you all a great one!

Oh! Inga posted this video on her blog and I can't stop listening to this song... :o) what do you think?

29, some gatherings and a lot, lot, looooooot of work...

Wow! Now that I got to look at the date of my last post I was pretty impressed...
it's been more than 10 days since I've been here... well, actually, I've been reading you from my tablet, but with really NO TIME to post any comments... sorry... :o/
Well, let me see...
When the year comes to its end everyone gets busy, but I think I was not quite used to it any more... I mean, the end of the year being actually the end of the year... summer vacation, christmas, traffic, hot, summer thunder storms (and my city that floods almost everyday)...
I turned 29 last Monday... and it actually didn't feel like my birthday, almost at all. For 6 years I've waited to spend my birthday at home, and now that it happened, it felt weird...
But we had some fun... We've barbecued Saturday and had mom's dinner on Monday... oh! and grandma's cake, of course! ;o)
Well, just wanted to say hi... tomorrow I'll try and catch up with comments and reading you all.
Hope you've had a week less busy than mine, but also as nice as the one I had (although pretty tiring...)
Let the week end begin!

what goes up must go down...

Sometimes I really miss Paris and its ups and downs... when I thought things sometimes would get so hard we would never be able to get out of it...
But then again, we always did... 
A LOT is going on right now... here we say that's 'cause of inferno astral (which would literally mean the hell your life turns into a month before your birthday).
for 6 years I wanted to be "home" for the end of the year (my b-day, christmas and everything) and now, that I'm here, I'm not handling all that well.
Maybe I just need to get used to the new problems and craziness...


"Drop your problems by the riverside 
Ride a painted pony and let the spinning wheel fly"

from Monday to Saturday

Busy busy week that ended only Saturday... quite boring to say the same old busy story every time... 
So, let me just say that it had its plus sides...
a movies night...
an evening with BFF...
great night out with the girls on Friday night (even with us having to wake up at £6 o'clock to go to work)
I actually learned a few things at the Saturday workshop... (by the way, I don't remember if I actually mentioned it, but, I work with moving. International moving. I am a PR at a quite large moving company)
we had a killer lunch with our bosses after the workshop...
received a phone call from a dear dear friend and spent an hour talking to him...
my cousin "chouchou" is in the city...
my aunt and uncle brought me the new lenses I bought in the USA for my nikon (it's an holga lenses for Nikon DSLR) and I can't wait to try it!
and next week we have a holiday on Wednesday...
a nice week after all....

viajo porque preciso...

I don't stay in the office until late at night, but the fact of driving about 700km a week can be pretty stressful and tiring... (and this is coming from someone who just LOVES to drive and is madly in love with her new car)
The good thing is that complaining, sometimes, work! This week I got the permission to try and hire someone to work with me (a second PR to help me drive a little less)
I'm really trying to look at the bright side here... hope to find my colleague ASAP!!!


For now I'll leave you with some music... and some shots of my going everywhere week.

it had to be on a Wednesday!

I've been out of the office for 3 days now (since the beginning of the week)... I still work there though is just that I actually work more outside of the office than inside...
But there's SO MUCH going on down there right now... I feel almost left out not being there... sometimes being left out of chaos can be a good thing, but in this particular case: I WANT IN!!
Can't wait for Friday!
(if you understand French you'll see that the images fit perfectly the situation...)
