I was walking back from lunch today, and I thought about love at first sight. I realized that once upon a time I believed in it. I wanted it. I fantasized about the possibility of it. But now I just smile it off. Think of it as an old wives tale. I don't mean this in a morbid sad way - but I justify it  in a realistic ' I'm all grown up' way. 

Then I watched this video by my dear friends Keshia&Karlos. Love at first sound. Love at first sight. I thought back to your wedding. You guys brought me back to that dreamer dean. You made me believe in soul mates and destiny again. One of my favorite Etta James covers and you guys made me love it even more. So heres to you guys, to love, to music, and laughter. Miss you. Please keep spreading the love with your music x

Can I wade (wait?) in your water, can I wade in your water, can I wade in your waterrr, till I catch a waaave!!  Been listening to this song so much....Calms me down!

I can feel summer coming along, and I wont be here :( Best part of NZ! Oh well...I feel good things coming this way! Enjoy some Kiwi coolness x

So Saturday the 10th of November I attended the best concert ever! Coldplay in Mt Smart stadium. Such amazing performers. I wish I was on the field though....we were seated. Oh well...still breath taking. I went with my childhood friend Nour and my good friend Areego - Nour had had a rough day. We used to sit on my window sill and watch the stars as we listned to 'parachutes' and 'a rush of blood to the head' ..... there were lots of tears. Lots of staring into the sky. Lots of love. Lots of gratitude.

This was my favourite. Well these two x

I've been a sick for the past week. I have a chest infection, but it is not too serious, and i'll be better tomorrow (fingers crossed). Anyway, in light of the elections yesterday, and having Obama for another 4 years (no comment on politics, because in the end every American president is a puppet), I woke up this morning and remembered a time when I was revolutionary. When I read my poem about the war in Iraq and protested. When I led a protest down Queen st. When I took over the chants from a protester burning flags. I found the poem I wrote about the war. I was so passionate back then. I had such a great voice. I hope that spark stays with me in Dubai. That passion for the people. I will keep in mind that school I will start. When Obama talked about Education, about opportunity - regardless of his place in the world, he spoke the truth. Education is the gateway to opportunity, and I am going to make the Middle East the pinnacle of knowledge once again. Wow. Oprah? I got a bit too inspired by Obama I think. Sounds like I'm trying to run for president. Damn he's a great speaker. It's scary how people can be duped/moved/inspired/conned by a few good words. And on that note, I shall bid you adieu x

Ps. This is a great video.  

It has been a crazy, beautiful, blessed tornado of emotions and opportunity. These past few weeks. I got the job. I am moving to Dubai next year. Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. I just follow the direction of the universe. I am scared for my new role, but after much self doubt and fear, I am ready to succeed. I am ready to try try try. I am ready to make things happen and to live the life I have always wanted. I will be great. I will open up my own school in Iraq , 2020. I know I will. I will give war torn children the same opportunity I had. And it all starts with education. Everything happens for a reason. And I won't reason with reason. I will simply believe it. Believe in it. And move with it. Stay beautiful friends. Stay motivated. Stay alive. Don't just exist amd sit like perfect words on those lines x
