…a brief glance…

Today I had not much planned. If anything I just wanted to stay in teh dorm, read, sleep, and laze about. I was waiting for phone calls for interviews and have finally reached the not caring stage. Well, the less STRESSED out stage. After my Mom’s phone call this morning, instead of getting ready to go out, I went back to bed and read, played with my faithful gameboy, (which I know my Ate Nelle, Ate Sol and Kuya Jet are missing – more than they’re missing me) I received a text message from Trisha aka Bot-Bot, who’s my childhood friend. She was in London, just arrived yesterday from Malta and she is only here for a week or so. Anyways…we agreed to meet for an early lunch at Leicester Square (I swear everytime I am anywhere somewhat familiar I feel like I am playing Monopoly)…I digress…Well after messaging her back I uncharacteristically fell asleep again. Oooops!! By the time I woke up it was like 10:40 and we were meeting at 11:30am. After a quick shower and three bus changes later I made it. She looked EXACTLY the same. She was EXACTLY the same. It was good. We talked like no time had passed. Even if it has been about 7 years since we had last seen each other. It was so nice to have a familiar face.

Trish was one of my very first friends. We are family friends. When we arrived in Asutralia, they arrived shortly after. Her family, mine and another (Aimee’s) spent almost every weekend together for the next decade. Our families know each other’s family dramas. It was like growing up with extra cousins, and as I look back on our childhood, the fun times includes sleepovers, dancing around in front of the TV while Trish introduced us to the latest dance moves of YTT! SAD!!! The mention of Martika will always make me chuckle.

Anyways after lunch we walked about for a little while and headed off to Oxford Street for some window shopping. When I said that I hadn’t even been to Harrods, we headed for Knightsbridge…so I have not only seen Harrods, I also got to check out the ring that Dodi got Diana.

We headed for home afterwards and agreed to keep in touch via text messages. As well as spending a good day out I received a few calls regarding job interviews so I am looking forward to those. I have one tomorrow and two on Monday. This weekend I hope to look for places to live.

Hmmm…London is definitely growing on me. I’m loving it. I hope all is well with everyone. I still miss you all very much. Take care and Love much… MWAH!!!
