No internet - how did we do it before???

Hello world,
After almost 2 weeks with no internet at work, its finally back up and running, i dont know what was wrong with it, to be honest I don't really care,however, this service provider has a completely ridiculous customer service attitude - it seems to be- ignore all the complaint emails for as long as possible, and leave customer on hold for at least 45 minutes or otherwise until they hang up-Anyway, we came to the point that we just sent them a last email and told them that we were cancelling out direct debit, as we weren't paying for a service that we were obviously not using... and MAGIC... email about 2 hours later, saying that there was a problem with the "line"(whatever that means), and we would have internet again by next morning the latest - and we did... : ) We're all happy again.. Especially cos I have been on a Health and Safety course all week ( I know, exciting stuff.... not ) , and I couldn't check my emails, couldn't check friends blogs ( Del - ur blog as usual looks great) .

Since when did I become internet dependent??? I check my emails about 10 times a day, its ridiculous, I know...
Anyway, there's no point going on an on about...

Once again Hello world... I'm back : )

New Years Are a Chance for a Beginning

New years are a chance for a beginning

Even when there hasn't been an end.

Wheels turn in an interminable bend,

Yet, marked in one spot, seem to wobble spinning.

Each year we hope to do a little better

Although we know that really nothing's changed.

Reason thinks that everything's arranged,

So we must dream if we would fate unfetter.

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS..

Love,

Isabel

Christmas.... AGAIN..and my friends...

So, yeah... that time of the year again.... Christmas celebrations have officially started...

Last weekend, was over at me friend's for an early Christmas dinner, since most of them will be away... The dinner was at a pub in Carnaby Street.. and it was actually really good fun.

The past 2 weeks have not been the greatest in my life, so it was good to be with those guys and behave way too childish as per usual ( Deb- sorry about the 2 candles i managed to ruin.... and all the wax that i threw around the table)...

There were a few people there that I hadn't seen in ages.. and we did laugh very hard.

Its officially been 5 years that I live in London, and the greatest thing, is that some of the people that were at that dinner have been my friends since i pretty much arrived in the UK.. They feel like my family, and it feels great to see how much our lifes have changed since we arrived in this mad city, and how many great stories and good times we shared, I love these guys to bits.. and I hope we can carry on like we have been up til now, for a long time to come...

Guys, you're great... thanks for everything..

Lessons in Life

Hmmm.. before I started writing this post, I thought I knew exactly what to say, what to write..

Think again.. I know what I want to say.. Have no idea how to start.

The last few weeks have been shit, I have received news from home that made me question a lot of things, about my life, past present and future.. I feel a sense of uselessness that I dont even know what to do to overcome it..

I have overcome the shock and are able to think more clearly, but the feeling that there's so little I can actually do its just something else that I need to know how to deal with...

I never thought I could feel so much sadness again, such emptiness and so much pain all over again... I find myself saying things, that sound even to my ears the lamest excuses ever..

I hope things turn out for the best, and that I'll be able to look back at this with my bro and just see it as a lesson, a hard lesson...I can't wait when that day comes...


Love you Bro,
sis..
