back and ready

I am back from France and ready for New Year’s Eve. I am working today but should be free early in the afternoon, or at least I hope. I will be starting drinking at home with few friends. After we will be heading to the Tiger Tiger – club bar and grill! What a name! We will have a 5 courses dinner there and then stay for dancing. Dine and dance is the best formula for this kind of event.

Important fact to know, public transport are free and running all night tonight. Waouh!

HAVE A HAPPY NYE CELEBRETION TONIGHT!!!!! ENJOY!

holidays!

Tomorrow I leave for 5 days to my parents’. I take the Eurostar in the afternoon and will come back on the 29th evening. I can’t wait!

winter and sickness

Song of the day: If I were a boy by Beyoncé – that is the song you can hear everywhere!

I had a weird week. Monday and Tuesday, I was feeling so bad that I had to go back home early. I was feverish and coughing so much. I had wednesday off but I worked the other days plus Saturday at 7am!!! I am better now but you should here me. I sound like robocop!

Yesterday I went in town after work to buy my last xmas present!!! We re almost there… few more days and that’s it. I will be travelling to France on the 24th and will come back on the 29th. I am so happy. I haven’t seen my family since July!

Business woman

This is done. I bought a new mp3 player: the iPod Touch 32 GB. Why?
Funny enough, it is not even for the music that I decided to buy it… These past 2 weeks, I have been organising lots of stuff for my weekends and I also learnt that 3 of friends are getting married – and I am invited to 2 of the hen party. I can’t say I am a business woman but I am obviously planning a lot! And you know me, always sending emails for dinner, trip or party. I am using Google Agenda at the moment. It is really powerful and I am happy with it but the problem is that during the day, I don’t have access to it. I tried to use a real agenda on paper but I always forgot to update it or to bring it with me. And that is how I forgot about events I planned a while ago…

I thought the solution would have been a smartphone. Last week I checked the offers, but the pay as you go mobile weren’t nice and I can’t upgrade my mobile with Orange as I have only been with them for 12 months and I am on a 18 months basis contract. I also discovered the iPhone but it is only sold here with O2… and I don’t want to change my network as yet… So the solution, the iPod Touch. It is the same than the iPhone but it doesn’t do phone!

It is amazing what it can do. I didn’t want an iPod as I don’t like iTunes but I have to say, I am impressed. I can import/sync my contact from Gmail, connect to Internet/Facebook/Weather broadcast on WiFi, manage my Agenda (sync it with Outlook if you use it), and listen to your MP3s. Good stuff.

xmas shopping

Today it is raining but I have to start my xmas shopping. Fun, isn’t it?

Thanks WP

Song of the day: Around the World by the Daft Punk

booookS

Song of the day: Rule the world by Take That – since their come back, they are playing this song everywhere

I am currently reading Orpheus Rising – Love, Rockets & a bloody great fish by Colin Bateman. That is an intresting book. Well written but a bit slow. Surprising from the being. It won’t be my favourite but will be part of my discovery. Please give me some idea about what to read!!!!!

BTW, I go to Paris this week end. I had a free ticket from last year because I had more than an 1hrs delay!

Gone baby gone

Song of the day: Three horses by Joan Baez

Sorry to have been so long.

Milan was really fun. We had really nice weather over the weekend which was a change! We had time to visit few interesting places and we had some Italian cuisine. I have to create a new page for you to discover this city! It is worth it. The only bad point of this trip wasn’t due to Milan itself but to the flight my friend and I had. That was the worst I had and I had a few. During the last 20 minutes, we were shaken more than ever. People were either screaming or nervously laughing. You had to hold yourself (my head hit the window couple of time but just because I was trying to catch a glimpse of the city from above… ).

Now I want to leave again, of course. I was speaking about that with my friend and we were thinking about Russia for our next trip or go skiing this year. That is a tough call as I would like to do both. I am also trying to find where I would like to go for my next 2 weeks trip and who could come with me. I am think about Peru or China but I will see… life is hard I know!
