It's a happy thanksgiving!

Woke up this morning with a christmas feeling, and I felt like a child. today is thanksgiving, im not american so i don't really celebrate it, but I remember the best thanksgiving ever in Florida. the best turkey, sweet potatoe and all the rest... mmm yummie... and the candles that smelled like christmas. that's the feeling I had this morning. So I grabbed my bike, and rode down to the beach, it was around 30*C and just amazing!

Happy thanksgiving people! Now im gonna go and prepare the turkey ;)

A Summer's day in Sun Diego

today was a b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. day in San Diego. I can finally understand now why people want to come back here, if you would have asked me a couple of months ago, I wouldn't.

Now I can definitely see why.

I had an exam today, and a final project due. I decided to take my bike there, and took an extra ride on the boardwalk. the tourists are back cause it is thanksgiving. which was a bit annoying since I broke my pretty pretty ring-bell on my bike and had to ask them to move instead of ringing the bell. then lunch at 976, of course, and then finishing up the project. My team member is from Rome, and I too am a time optimist but we said at 2 pm, i show up at 2.30 and he shows up at ......5.15 when I was already at the printing place printing. =P

it was OK though, it didn't bother me cause it was just such a beautiful day and he had been out surfing, and I was high on medication. these american pain killers btw, are strong, i seriously felt funny today, and I had taken two of them, those vicidines..... not a good thing to do before an exam.... well, at least I had fun while writing it. ;)

a beautiful californian day

had my breakfast by the beach this morning. it was great. i've grown to like california more and more for each day. especially now during the fall. there are almost nobody around. this morning there were surfers in the water catching those clean waves. there were two kids running around playing by the waterfront and I was sitting there enjoying my caffe latte in t-shirt. then all of a sudden johnny knoxville past by on his bike. just random like that.

now im cleaning. haven't had time to do nor laundry nor cleaning for such a long time. I hope I'll finish soon so that I can take my yellow beach cruiser and go back to the beach. grab lunch at 976 and write that damn newsletter for work. right now pandora radio channel on thievery corporation is playing and filling my house and im just so happy to be alive. it's a great day!

yesterday i cooked a really nice dinner for my roomie, she is the greatest! when she moved in I started to live life again. people have even commented on it, that now I seem more relaxed and happy. I am.

a busy period

im busy, busy, busy now. it's finals and im leaving. packing up my life once again, and Im off! this time to destination unknow...

I have a destination, a place that I call home.... let's see if my home is still a place to call home though. time past... i changed. life changed, but did my destiny change? well it's soon to be revealed....

my second home

cafe' 976. great place, great vibes.

im also very productive, enjoying my lunch, watching my dear friend N laughing over something she is watching on the computer. this is gonna be a great day. i know it!

hug you

It's getting closer, my departure date for Rome. I can't wait. I start to picture myself again with my friends having wine on the piazzas, the dinners, the people, the traffic, I wish you could hug a city, if you could've I would've!

Im really really excited to go home. but also nervous. Im nervous of the clouds.....

hopefully Ill bring the sun at noon though. ;)

destiny is destiny

woke up early early this past night as well. i admit, i'm about really stressed about becoming "an adult" I think that is why. My life is about to change again, and yet I don't know how much. Time will tell, as usual. Today has been a really good day though. it didn't do that much that I woke up early, I had the chance to speak to some friends in Italy, wrote some emails and sent some resume's.

I took an hour long bike ride in 30 degrees sunshine on the boardwalk. the water was beautiful and there were barely any people. then i went to what turned into my second home lately, cafe' 976 to look for some jobs. as funny as destiny sometimes is, actually it's more like a shoulder to lean on in confused times, you can't really do anything about it, you're just riding the wave. however my old boss was online so i asked him to help me look over my resume (since he gets to look at quite a few) while he was helping me he asked me "anna, but really, why am I helping you finding another job, when you were one of my best workers? why don't you just come back here?!" tempting. really tempting. we'll see. in the meanwhile I will continue my job hunting, so you guys out there watch out for my application it might show up in your inbox ;)

the world at my feet

I have the world at my feet. will be done in a month and I am free to go wherever I please.

now, great one might think, but for me there are waaaay too many options. I need directions. limited options maybe. I think I will have to follow my daddy's rule of thumb, make a check list with + and -. evaluate my options so to say. Im going to Rome in a month. This is the moment I've been waiting for since I moved to California. Sounds strange to you? Well, it could be, but not really.

All I know now is that hopefully in one month and a half, I will have a better clue on where Ill be in two months. I guess I just have to live with that thought now, and try and go back to sleep. It's not good to wake up at 4 am too often.....

my friend is just giving them away today so I thought I'd share;

//Never make somebody a priority

when your just an option!!//

//Those who think they know everything, annoy those of us that do!//

this one is mine though

//One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory//
