Oh the sights of my lovely city........

Anniversay of Sorts....

So today marks the day that I received my papers to become an official resident of the UK. I remember being so elated at the news that I would soon be heading off to London, and finally living out that little dream I had tucked away so long ago. A year later I am sitting in my London flat still elated at this amazing opportunity that I have been given. My year in London has been so amazing. It has been filled with ups and downs, but mostly ups. I have met the most amazing people in the world. Have made friendships that will last a life time, and through this all I have become a better person. I have had the opportunity to learn so much here not just at LSHTM, but also through my travels. I have seen the world in my time in London, and I am not sure I would have ever been able to otherwise. I feel very fortunate for this opportunity and look forward to many happy returns to London after I say goodbye, because I do not think London and I will ever say goodbye we will only say farewell and until next time because London to me is my second home, and without this opportunity I do not think I would be the person I am today. This experience is mine and mine alone and I am grateful for that, all the missteps and opportunities were all created by me, and I have loved every second of it. So here is to the celebration of the happiest year of my life, and to many more to come, because this is just the beginning of the journey that I call my wonderful life!

Is it LOVE, or the best friend you ever had...

I often find myself thinking of when I will be able to find true love. I have not been very lucky in love as a matter of fact I am probably extra ordinarily unlucky in love. I do not know why, but perhaps that is just the way it goes. However, this year I have discovered love, a very unconventional form of love, the kind of love that you want to hold close to you. No its not the person that I am going to marry, nor a person I am dating, but an amazing person who has opened my heart to the possibilities of finding that love. This person showed me through small actions everyday, that I was special, that I am worth love, and that I can make someone happy. I guess sometimes we just never know where that true love will be nor in what form that love will come in, but sometimes you find this love, and although it may not be what you were looking for it is just what you needed to be able to find the happiness that you deserve and the happiness to make you see that although things may not be the way you want them to be right now that love is just around the corner in the most mysterious of ways.....Thank you for making me feel again, and for opening my heart to the possibilities of life and love all over again, you will forever hold a special place in my heart!

The Lost of An American Icon....RIP Ted Kennedy

An inspiration to many especially to me! "Ted might have gone early. In 1964 he was dragged, critically injured, from the wreckage of a plane crash. Had he died that day, he too would have remained forever young and dashing. No Chappaquiddick, no divorce, no boozy indiscretions. But also no antiapartheid campaign, no Americans with Disabilities Act, no Family and Medical Leave Act. Ted Kennedy survived to the ripe age of 77 and in the process brought the family saga full circle, back to the vital, urgent, messy clutch of the real. Back to America, a land of common people, not of princelings, where even our marble monuments celebrate lives molded from clay."

and this is how I got on the hogworts express....

Hogworts Express....

Cafe Kick...

Its not often that I take to my blog to make recommendations, but last night I went to one of the best bars in London, with the best homemade sangria. The sangria to my surprise was made to order so I had no expectations about how good it would be until I had a sip, then I was converted. So if you are looking for a place to go relax, play some table football, and enjoy time with friends, then I recommend that you go over to Farringdon, and visit Cafe Kick...i had a great time!
