Winter-e-sting

Hi pps (from pips, for people(s))


How you doing all? Howz life for you out there?


I'm writing you from the sofa, late saturday night, listening to best radio after hours and enjoy the very moment. Outside it's windy and cold and uninviting to go out and about.. It's one of those nights that I love, that I spend for me, to listen music, to read, to blog, to think! Weeks passing by so quick, meet people, work, commute, receive the impacts for survival and have no time to stop and stand and look around me. Things around us are fluid, we change as our people around us change, learn from each other. Interesting changes is what I am up for, and in this case 'winter-e-sting' sounds more appropriate as the winter still goes on. So much information around us, we need to stop and process it. I believe this is so important and I feel grateful I can have few of those moments from time to time.

It is great, I have a house for myself for a week, my housemates gone for ski and I left to take care the house, the cats (and myself). I have connected my vaio to the soundsystem wirelessly and I can listen to all my collection easily. I got also a new blackberry phone (courtesy of Nik the Cret :) and I am delighted after sometime I now have some new technology to play with.

Work is moving well, it is the end of the school's project soon and I am full on completing energy efficiency reports for the remaining schools. Site visits have finished and I was a bit sad when finished my last (51st) school visit. I'm gonna miss this hyperactivity I used to see every day. Anyhow, we tender for another 15 so you never know! I have now put in line my CEng registration, it's something that simply needs to be done/achieved within this year. I feel ok and kind of appreciated at work and that gives me power in my hands. Of course I keep an eye around for maybe the big change..

I am also happy to announce the short film we did with Deep C is now out live, bit dissappointed, it was supposed to be a little more 'cinematic', more like a story telling however the editor decided differently; I also find the voice of the narrator not so great. It is still nice and includes some nice shots from late night London. The clip is called 'Cutting through complexity' and is for kpmg's eu annual report, futured content on their website. Load it below:

The big 'thing' is not really this though. Is the trip that is underway and it's going to be an amazing one! I have already my Lonely Planet purchased along with the local language phrasebook. We will most likely spend three weeks, and it coincides with the royal wedding and easter public holidays in uk so I can go for longer with less leave. The plan is to arrive in the capital and move/explore the region, enter to the neighboring country and fly back from there. There are so many to do and discover and I think three weeks will be juuust enough... We are still on a research and planning phase, it needs some coordination as three people from three different places/countries meet to a fourth. I will hopefully post details on the next post where everything will be kind of settled.

I can't waiiiit, this is a purely explorative trip, no work involved as the previous one, the place and nature are just majestic. Hmmm, I can't say it yet (even some of you already know), need to book it first, I can only say the predominant fauna this time instead of yak will be llama. :)



Be well
