My Blog

No… not in NYC, on the blog… duh !

Here’s a scary thought, come May it will be 1 year since I would have moved back to Paris !! Since when did I fall into a time warp zone where every breathing second and minute has been accelerated ?!?

Cheery thought, come May it will be 4 months since I would have started working at RIM BlackBerry (yes, THE RIM BlackBerry that just paid out gazillion $ to settle NTP lawsuit).

So, how have I been, what have I been up to ? Does anyone even care ?

Let’s see, I came here in May 2005, had fun for like 4 months and travelled around and then I checked my bank account and thought uh oh ! maybe I should start looking for a job un de ces 4 (one of these days)…

Started looking around in October, had two job offers by December, which allowed me to fly back home for 2 1/2 weeks for the holidays even though I was pretty broke by then.

So, now I’m working at an int’l company in Paris which is great I tell ya… but here’s a funny thing that I’ve noticed. When I get up in the morning, my thoughts are in English but by the time I get off work, I think in French. Now, come see me after a few drinks and unless you’re fluent in both languages, you probably won’t understand me much. Funny thing this gray mushy matter of ours .

It seems like a lot of people I know back home are going through a "restless, there’s gotta be more to life than this" phase. As someone who went through it 2 years ago and moved to Paris as a result of it in order to feel alive again, well, I’m sorry but I don’t have the answer for you. I don’t even know if what I did is a good thing. After all, if there are going to be repercussions, I won’t know until later on, right ? But one thing I do know is that I don’t have that feeling anymore. I’m not saying it was a piece of cake my experience here but right now, I am exactly where I want to be. And you know what, that’s what’s great about adulthood ! Take yourself wherever you want to be… because you can !

I didn’t mean for this to turn into a sermon because after all, it could come back to bite me in the arse, right ? Say, I’m having so much fun but yet I’m not getting any younger and before I know it, the boat would have sailed on… well, all I gotta say to that, is certs, I don’t got Cameron Diaz’s salary but… she seems to be doing fine holding on to her youth.

Oh, and I’m now open to the idea of dating : hot French single guys need apply only… so, if you know of any, send them my way !  =o)  But knowing how difficult I am, you may have to stay tuned for a really long time before you hear anything exciting happening on that front. LOL

So, here’s to a great year 2006 !

Wish you all LOADS of HAPPINESS !

And hope to be back more often for more blog writings !

Cadbury girl (I’ll explain that one next time)
