Christmas almost here

As the post title denotes, Christmas is almost here and that means sometime off the usual, sometime off the stressful everyday life. Since my last entry into this blog, I have had some of the most difficult time for this year. A year which has been amazing, ends in a not such an amazing fashion. I guess that makes it a complete year, with ups and downs and I would never appreciate the ups without the downs..  I aint gonna go to details on the 'downs' I will think they are sometimes necessary to make us stronger and look forward for a brighter future.

 Although, there are still 7 days to get to 2011 and they suppose to be good ones. I will be going back to my family, back to Greece for few days and I am on countdown since many days ago. I miss them all so much, first my family and then aaaall those good friends. I am sure the days will go so fast again untill one day I will wake up and I'll have to get the plane back to London. I feel I had enough of this place, I had enough of the manic city life, of Oxford Street and all the rest. I am looking forward for the great escape but in order to do this I will have to be patient and find the best opportunity out of this. I keep my eyes open... Although, there are people in the UK who I feel them very close and also new people coming into my life and I love all this but are they enough to keep me here for good? I've been already many years in this big island and I simply need a change to the unknown (or to little known), to discover new things and acquire new experiences, all sort of experiences, good or bad, ups or downs...  Or simply go back where I feel I belong..

I'm sure most of you have heard or experienced (if in UK) the weather has been veeeery cold. The snow arrived for second time early this winter. I love the snow and the fun part of it(snowboarding) but when it comes to commuting and moving around, oh my god, nothing is really operating as it should. Sometimes I think of my time in Stockholm where for 5 months all were white frozen but life was moving as usual. Here, with the first snow flake and the most popular word is 'disruption'. Flights cancelled and I keep a close eye on the Heathrow situation.. It seems services have been restored now and hopefully I will get my flight with no problem.. Because if I dont..........

I don't want to leave this post on a negative note. Maybe it's the winter blues or Christmas who bring me this attitude these days. There are things to cheer for, ENVIRONs Christmas card was finally distributed and L4L was on it which I feel very pleased and proud at the same time! We have managed to acquire more funds and further support the community in Dhawa and the lovely people (see previous posts) who really need it! Also, I have finished working in another modelling(!) job for a large company called KPMG. A nice short video to go with their annual report. My role was mainly to drive a large 4x4 around London. Really nice shots and background music and the whole concept I think. I will post a link as soon as this is published. So some extra cash from there not bad at all as well as a small Xmas bonus from ENVIRON for all staff always welcomed and give you something to cheer up, especially when few nice presents are always required for those few who will appreciate. New Years is the birthday of my good childhood friend Tseke and a biiig party is prepared at their new home! He is also coming (as he said) in the UK in February for some (indoor) sky diving! Yeaaah! 

That's all for now, I wish to all of you a nice, warm (in feelings too) Christmas and festive days. I promise my next post will be more cheerful! :) 


Love u all
