A little poem

How do I love thee?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.


-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Bored

I feel so tired today, its a struggle to keep my eyes open, dont have the slightest motivation to do any work at all, i've been sitting at my desk for just over two hours now, and just can bring myself to do anything...

Why is it that we get stuck in shitty jobs that we dont like? And before we can tell we're just stuck,arguing with ourselves everyday about changing our lives our jobs bit never actually doing anything about it...

I kinda like my job,its not the greatest but i like the people i work with, but i'm getting fed up with it-same thing day in day out, no changes... I feel i need a change

I suppose i'm just bored, and besides its wednesday no one is happy with their jobs on wednesday unless its your day off...

Better stop now...

Speak soon

Things to look forward too...

These last few weeks have been full of ups and downs for me.. but it looks like its all falling into place now. And it looks like the next couple of weeks will be very busy... I took the day off work today, which feels fantastic...looking forward to sleep in tomorrow and sunday..

In a couple of weeks time going to Scotland for a weekend with friends,most of the people are going to watch the rugby, but me and a friend decided to give it a skip and just go shopping and walk around town, since Edinburgh its such a beautiful city... the weekend after that going back home for the weekend (Portugal), my brother FINALLY started the army and his graduation is on the 3rd December, although i'm very excited about this, so much shit has happened before that i cant help but expect something to go wrong, or find out that his lying to me or something like that...but i've booked my trip now, so one way or another i'll be in Portugal for a weekend in 3 weeks time.. : )

Now one thing that i'm really really excited about is a trip i booked for next year.. going to Nepal and Tibet for roughly 20 days... i've waited for so long to book this trip that i find myself boring people around me just talking about it... but its defenitely a dream come true,and i cant wait...

So as i said before, got a few things to look forward too, and all of them i'm finding quite exciting...

It's all for now...
Wish everyone a fantastic weekend
