Patience is A Virtue

Dear Blog,

How are you? Damn it has been ages since I have written to you. I miss you Blog. So no more mushy stuff let me recap on my life since the last time I have written.

Work ,of course, as always is busy as hell but hey it is good learning new things and being able to implement them my own. At the end of the day, no matter how late or tired I am , I can reflect and say that I have achieved something. I think that is so much needed. You need to feel like you have succeeded or done something valuable than be compared to a log. I need life to focused with breaks every so often for reflection.
I am finally beginning to enjoy work and the people (not that like I never did, but I guess there are more of people of my nature and interests). We are all planning our travels outside of London and into the European nations. Since we are so involved in crunch time right now, it is hard to do it, but when it is over we will definetly be on the ball again.

It is nice that Mom and Dad are planning to come visit me in November. I want them to enjoy and see what I see . They need to be able to understand my stories sometimes rather than have them wonder. Pictures can make a difference but think the true understanding comes from experience.

Last week , a couple of friends and myself went into London for another friend's birthday . And it was amazing how much fun I had. We went to this hip hop club called Hippodrome in Leicester Square and it was just different from the rest that I been to. Not to crowded and the music was just fun and able to enjoy the spirit of the night . My roommate and I came back at 3 in morning being driven by a wacko taxi driver who wanted nothing but money. But all is well, came home and did some school work.
Yes my dear blog, you heard me write, school work. I guess when somebody wants to achieve something in life, time management has to happen. Have you ever noticed that I have been using the word time management for ages. I think I am finally coming to a point where a schedule has to take place if I want to succeed in life in all areas, school, work, love, etc.

So where am I today? I am at my home in NJ and leaving tonight for the United Kingdom. It was definetly very relaxing which was much needed when coming out of the hustling and bustling of the corporate world. But tonight I go back to the action packed world and it is fine because life does not stop because you want to relax. To achieve goals, one must have achieve, strength, and energy.

I was able to talk to many of my friends this weekend and relax with my parents. Went shopping (yes bought clothes of course, what else, lol) and was able to get together with my friend Ayesha. She said something to me which really began to open my eyes. She told me that she felt distance from me. I never want the closest people in my life to feel this way. I think much of this is because I did manage my time properly and was always caught in the events of life. I need to let life be the way it is and let it flow forward. I need to stop thinking so much. And that is exactly what I have decided to do. Thank you GOD for awakening me out of this trance called inpatience. This is why I have subjected this blog to be Patience is a Virtue. It really is. The good things in LIFE always takes its time. But when it does, you appreciate it so much more.

I want to enjoy life, be free, learn, live it to the fullest, and be with the people I love and that love me. The little things in life are important. Never miss birthdays (a simple phone call can put a smile on someone's face), never stop to say just 'Hello' . Do no have a purpose to talking to someone. Simple chats can may do look so much sunnier.

I know GOD you are out there and will make everything okay. We as your children on earth need to learn to cope and have hope. Be free and develop happiness in the nonmaterialistic world.
Wow that almost sounded like a passage from some religious book.

Love ya , Miss ya,
