and forever to say Goodbye.
I helped out at the IBJ Gala Dinner on Thursday at St Regis and I'm glad I did it! It was good to sort of get a better feel of the organization and some of the speeches were inspiring. I particularly liked the short but succinct speech by Innocent Maja, a Senior Fellow from Zimbabwe. So often people look at a problem and speculate about it's outcome without offering plausible solutions, which is why it is so heartening to see people with such a strong conviction that they can be part of the solution through their services and expertise. And I have to admit that I was really surprised, by the generosity that was displayed during the auctions. It was very encouraging (: Hilary did an awesome job and I hope there will be more opportunities to work with them.
Friday was fairly eventful. Libing came by in the morning and we went for a run. (Finally!) We've been meaning to start our running routine... (we used to run every week without fail before our beds grew to be our biggest downfall!) Haha so it was good that we managed to drag our asses out this time. My muscles are aching today though -_-" Then lunch with Manda, ..... the lift broke... so I was late. Hahah. This girl's amazing, she can listen to me ramble on and on like a trooper.
Oh look at this, saw it at MinXuan's blog. Quite brilliant eh, the power of putting on that framed accessory ;)
Anyway, hung out at Monica's for a bit after, then went to meet Simon for fika! Good chats, heaps of laughs (: And as a student in film studies, I think he was aghast at the number of awesome/acclaimed movies that I have not watched while we were browsing at Borders. Haha, I am not proud of that fact really, but there's only 24 hours a day and so much to do ;) I must catch 'Remember me' though. Cause Maine said it's great and I.... believe her. Hah.
Headed back to Monica's again after. From then on, it can pretty much be summed up with, Beer, Italian, Beer, Walk, Beer, Beer. I... love Asahi. That's my new favourite, it even tops my past favourite, Hoegaarden. Heh. Beer makes me giggly and fairly bold. So it was a fun evening, if only laughing really gave you abs. I'd have a six pack today. As do all good things, the evening had to come to an end too. Sent Robban to the airport and it was the longest goodbye at the departure gates ever. Hugs are awesome, people often underestimate its powers. Haha. Apparently Borlänge is a hellhole but if I could, I would switch places with him! Ha.
Today's swedish word is,"flygplats" which means 'airport'; swedish phrase is "ska vi gå?" which means 'shall we go?'
Going back to my comment on hugs. This video made me cry. Haha. Okay hey if you don't shed a single tear while watching this, you have the coldest heart ever. LOL :p
The patriotism of servicemen, the ugliness of war, the joy of homecoming.
Jag älskar kramar. (:
