What's up wid me?
So what happened, since I went back from India, after my actual depressing mood (which occasionally come back hitting me every time i m talking to one of my India friends complaining about the hot weather when the only thing i can see through my windows is rain....rain..rain... if at least it could rain men...)
I took on a challenge, I had to broke up with my 10 years old long time relationship with my boyfriend aka my 'extra kilos' yes this is my longest relationship, not with a human well yeah a part of a human actually a part of me.
Thanks to the hot and humid Indian weather and the spicy food I lost weight by obligation, I must say it is quite challenging now, since the weather is no longer hot and humid, and the food is bland again more than that i m surrounded by junk food. I m going 3 times a week to the gym, that s even a bigger challenge since the last time I put a feet in the gym was a year ago :) but i must say that i m still doin it, i haven t loose hope at least for now...
Tomorrow i m going to meet a coach, the first time he talked to me he scares the shit of me...
'ARE U serious?' (with a deep military voice)
'erm yeah i guess'
' ok so waht are we gonna do is a first assessment, i m gonna weight ur fat mass, ur weight mass [blabla blabla bla] then a second assessement regarding ur eating higiene....ARE U REALLY sure u re serious?'
'SIR YES SIR' ok i did not reply like that but i really feel like doin so... so hopefully it will help me fighting the scale :)
As for the rest, even if know i m living with a great guy in a great flat, It will be
4 years since i m living in Ireland and to be frank with you it is time for me to move on... nothing has been planned yet... and due to the actual crisis it might take a while but it s on the back of my mind and hopefully by the end of the year things will change :)
Other than that i m trying to keep myself occupy by going to the gym, to the toastmasters, by the way I am officially a Competent Toastmaster, I completed my final stage 'Inspire your audience' ( I past my speech at the end of the post if you fancy reading it :P ), I m trying to see my friends as much as I can.
The following part of the post is rated 'Adult content' if you re not comfortable with your body or don t want to talk about it, skip the pinkish part:
I went to see a play yesterday called 'The Vagina Monologues' with 4 girls and a very courageous man :P I was very interesting, u can learn quite a few things and I m planning on buying the book from Eve Ensler who interviewed not less than 200 hundred women from every age about their views on sex, relationships, sexual parts and also violence against women.
It was funny, sometimes sad, and very interesting. Some acts as monologues were hilarious, you had this girl who called herself a 'Moaner' and interpret the different types of orgasms women can have I particularly like the 'catholic one' and the 'doggy style one' or this woman who acted as a 77 years old woman who never look at her vagina nor call it like that but instead her 'down there' or this woman who had to give name her body parts :P... I m leaving you with this quote from the Director of the play 'Vagina should be adored not hidden away....'
Tonight i m going to the Havana cafe listen to some cuban music with food wid friends :)
And saturday morning i m flying for Cork (south of Ireland) to meet my friends and go to the Festnoz (french party from the Brittany region) with crepes and cider :) it is time for me to have some fun :)
I hope you guys are doing great and that you don t miss me too much :P I ll try to pass by your blog asap. In the mean time, take care of yourself.
Speech 10, final stage from The Competent Communicator Toastmaster: Inspire your audience. I got inspired from a speech I found on the internet which I turned into my own story with my own experience and way of thinking :)
It is in your head…
For every action there is a reaction. If you cut your finger with a kitchen knife you might say ‘ouch’ or be more eloquent in terms of swearing words. You might up on the floor thinking you re gonna die because you are loosing an incredible amount of blood… you might also blame your husband because he was the one talking to you while you were cutting that zucchini… or you might was your finger with cold tap water… take again the kitchen knife and cut the rest of that lonely zucchini… You act according to your own personality and have no power to do it differently… or do you?
If someone was giving you 500 euros to change your behavior, would that make a difference? Do you think you would have more power? I think most of us… me first… will quickly learn how to change our emotions if we knew we had something to gain. The fact is, we do have the power to choose our reactions.
It is not what happening to us that makes our lives… but it is the way we react to it. Cutting your finger with a knife is part of the small irritations in your life… how would face a bigger problem? Disease, conflicts, financial problems, death?
Have you heard of someone named Hellen Keller. Helen Keller was born in 1880 and was an American author, political activist and lecturer in the 20th century. Did I mention she contracted an illness when she was 1 and half years old that left her blind and deaf with almost a complete lack of language? However she managed to create with her 6 years old neighbor a simple sign language with her. She later learned Braille and used it not only to read English but also French, German, Greek and Latin. She could have spend her life in an institute and be depressed about her condition and what happened to her but instead she campaigned for women s suffrage, workers right and socialism as well as many other progressives cause. She travelled worldwide raising funds for blind and wrote 12 published books among other great achievements.
On September 1964, the president of USA awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
We don t have to be the victim of circumstances. We have the power and freedom to make a choice on how we are going to react.
We do not have to be dependant to our emotional reactions. Of course we should not ignore them, when things go wrong we hurt. We re gonna feel pain… anger… frustrations… this is normal. Emotions are a part of us, we need time to process them and work through them.
We know life is not gonna be easy and that we are going to face challenges. But we can mope, cry and become and alcoholic or we can get up and move on to the next phase of our lives. There is no excuse to become an addict, you chose to go to that liquor store and buy the beer.
So how can we choose our reaction? Can we really control our emotions? I believe that our biggest asset is in our head, we have one of the most powerful tool inside our head… our will…
If we set our will in the right direction our emotions will follow behind. I don t say it is going to be easy all the time.
During 10 years I have been fighting to loose weight, and during 10 years I heard my dad saying ‘ if you wanna loose weight you need will’ and during 10 years I told my dad ‘it is easy to say it when you don t have to loose weight’. But then I just spent 3 weeks in India and for whatever reasons maybe the heat or the spicy food I lost weight and when I came back to Dublin I started to go to the gym 3 times a week and try to eat healthier. I have to tell you it s not easy for me… many times I was about to give up … At some point I lost 7 kilos but then gained 2 kg, I felt frustrated and angry at myself. 3 months ago I would have stop tryin right away and I would have probably spend some time with my best friend at that time … I called him The fridge but I built that incredible will and start to talk to myself… ‘listen take your runners and go to the gym instead of complaining you want to loose weight faster… you know it is not gonna happen in 2 weeks’ and instead of grabbing a twix to ease my sorrow I took my runners and went to visit the treadmill to kill some calories.
If you are willing to be happy, you will eventually feel happy. WE only become brave if we are willing to be brave when we are scared.
I choose to loose weight, I know it is going to be challenging but I have the power to make that decision. And with a stronger will my emotional reactions as frustration or anger are getting diminished and eventually with hard work replaceable by energy and positive attitude toward my goal.
So it is up to you. Are you going to be a victim of circumstances, or will you choose how to react.
Will you throw away that kitchen knife or will you use it to shape a stronger you…. You decide....
I took on a challenge, I had to broke up with my 10 years old long time relationship with my boyfriend aka my 'extra kilos' yes this is my longest relationship, not with a human well yeah a part of a human actually a part of me.

WARNING: LENGTY POST :)
Hi my Dear People, Sorry for my pause again, not that I did not want to come, It s just I did not have time to do so!!!! I actually have a busy weekend and for once it s not a workin weekend so I am happy about that. Actually I am with a such cuty nice friend of mine, she's from India and she s in Dublin for 3 weeks, well now 1 week left. Let s call her Kitkit :) Now as u know I m a big fan of India and I am also extremely curious about ur culture, traditions, religion etc etc etc. Then she showed me a post she wrote it in her private blog and since I found it sooooooo freakin kewl and mostly I wanted to have ur opinions too because frankly for me French chick it s ... and u know, hopefully, how open minded I am, but if this thing was happening i ll stay single my entire life or I turn lesbian to avoid that chaos around me :) Now here it is:it s a bit lenghty :P And I ll be back soon to reply to the comments of the previous post as well! Please do give me ur thoughts on that story below :)
As soon as I enter the room all those tracking eyes following Mehehe the whole way. I see the ponytail girl staring at Mehehe . For a min Mehehe closes her eyes and picture herself in the waiting room, of the emergency. All sorts of things rise before Mehehe's eye still ... She tries her best to keep her cool and smile.
Elderly female from the Family will sit next to you and examine you by scratching your cheeks and check if you have camouflage your face will layers of powder , will measure your hair length , will touch your mid riff and see if you have lots of fat , Read your palm lines, make you remove your heels and compare your height with them , enquire's the address of the shop you got the Dress , Bangles from etc etc after this scrutiny and as soon as you take deep breath and think its over ....you 'll have bullets of questions shot from everyone with no life lines. Where you are left to fight your own battle . Although the answer is not as easy as the question seems to be . Questions such as
* What is your Name?
* What is your DOB ?
* Can you cook?
* What all can you cook ?
* Do you Offer Prayer ?
* What're your expectation from your Life Partner ?
* When do you go to work ?
* When do you come back ?
* How long have you been Working ?
* How do you manage to work along with other gender?
* Did you come across any challenging situation at work?
* Do you watch TV
* What do you watch on TV ?
* Do you live Saas Bahu Serials ?
* What are your Office Timings?
* How do you Commute ?
* What is your nature of Job?
* What do you do on weekends ?
* When did you complete your schooling and graduation ?
* What are your Hobbies?
* What are your Future Plans ?
* What is your Blood Group ?
* Do you like Kids?
* Do you wear Burkha ?
* Do you wear Jeans to work ?
* How often do you shop?
* Can you recite something and show us?
* How much do you earn?
* What do you do with your salary ?
* Is this your Own House?
* Where did you Guys lived before ?
* How much money do you give at home?
* Do you want to cont working after wedding ?
And you know what ... the the most funniest thing is "THE GUY" is escorted free of question . I wish Mehehe's family uses MY Questionnaire for the "Guy".
* Are you a prisoner of any intoxicating material ?
* Do you drool over women ?
* How many bald spots do you have ?
* Can you cook ?
* How much do you earn ?
* What are your future plans ?
* Can you make our daughter smile ? Buhahaha!
* Will you be a true companion for our Daughter in all the ups and highs of life ?
* Will you give her the liberty to pursue her Dreams ?
I once remember attending a cooking class and I was told to surreptitiously scratch a bit into the mango and smell it, throw up and catch the brinjal to ensure it was light in weight , while the cabbage suffered the same ignominy to ensure it was tight and heavy , while the potatoes shouldn't have black spots or holes in them. Tomatoes had to be jus the right red and plump and fleshy , while onions were to be jus the right pink and dry ; In short Jus choose the best lookers of the lot and you've got it right! - Class Over!
You know what I think? Some things can be so disturbing....
Is Mehehe a product for yourself which you can exchange or refund if not found suitable. You are going to choose someone to walk with you through life, through the difficult times and the good times or a showpiece or a maid ?
Ps:- And that reminds me of something. I could die for the one man who drives me crazy , who speaks broken hindi, writes nominally well, who aint prisoner of any intoxicating materials, who doesn't drool over other women , loves his sis , lives by music, sings like Sonu Nigam and is loved and respected by all. If anyone could make a better person of me it is probably him. Always choose a life partner who's ready to forgive your first time follies and still accept you , who calms your inner fears. Who does not consult his time table when you need him . Who's not judgmental all the time. Who smiles when you do something silly. Who doesnt love you 'coz you are beautiful . You are beautiful 'coz he loves you.
Whew, Sounds like a Yash Raj Script ? As if I care. They say when you dream, dream big. As big as the ocean, blue. 'Cause when you dream it might come true.
By the way, I was looking for a pic to illustrate the post and when I typed 'good daughter-in-law' in Google on the first page of image results I got mostly pictures of Indian women!!!!! Frankly i m not surprised, french daughter-in-law are a pain in the @ss as much as the mother-in-law :)
Now u tell me what u think cz well for me when I read the questions or the sneaky way to see if the woman is fit I almost got a stroke, and If u do have others questions like she wrote or stories like that please do share them in the comments :)

beeeezzzzzzyyyy as a beeeee.....
Hi lads as we say in Doblin, sadly i m soooo busy right now that i have barely time to reply to the comments on my own blog nor i have time to blog ;( I ve been busy like crazy at work and not in a good way, not the kind of way u can have a promotion or learn from it, no no crazy the kind like u re getting white hairs, migraine, and extra hours of works for no extra money and for what at the end, a constant depreciation, like i m a big failure, but i keep fighting, the only reason is because i want my holidays to go India, after that well they can go to hell... or f@#$ like Keshi said on her last post ...still with that economic crisis I have no idea where the hell I will go but we re not there yet.
The reason y I wanted to post a quick note now, it s because tomorrow a good friend of mine, I met her when I was in USA, she s from France and now living in London, she will come to visit tomorrow till sunday :) I ve never laugh so hard and so many time than when i am with her, I don t know y but we do have the same fun, and god knows how much fun I need right now so I won t be on the net that often ... then my last week of the month will be there and I will have to put extra extra extra extra effort to finish this month :( and on top of that I m expecting a visit on monday that I have been waiting for the past 6 weeks now :) the only good thing of the week i must say :)
Then again on tuesday i m busy and so on so again People I apologize for not being as much present as I d like to be on blogville, but hopefully, the first weekend of march i ll be more free to be online, more relieve I really hope so. In the mean time, don t forget me, keep posting!

The Valentine's day Academy Award presents....
Oh my freakin god!!! I have to say I was wondering how I would feel for that valentine s day today: depressed? will I stay home to avoid cuddling couple in the street? Well, I have to say that I had my best valentine s morning by watching the Jerry Springer Show: OMG, it includes 4 women, 1 man, a dozen kicks and fights, more than a thousand f@#$ or B@#$% well mostly BIP and BIIIIIP and BIIIIIIIIIP, 10 security guys, a bit of blood, and sooooooo many desperation!!!
It is about a 28 years old woman who went in jail for robbing no sorry an attempt to rob a bank who who wants to marry a 19 years old guy but the mother in law and her daughter hates her *how surprising* First is the 28 years old woman who definitively needs to go to the dentist when u see the brownish color of her teeth. Here come the sister of the dude she wants to marry, the knacker style, who says f@#$% every 2 words, then the mother who truly look like a men, she s 6 foot tall, she obviously does not wear any bra, since the only thing u can see between her 2 'friends' it s her navel! then an other series of f@##$ words, at that stage u think, at least if they are fighting for him he should be worth it, LOL, here come the groom, my god, the worst haircut and mustache then wait for it the EX girlfriend is coming!!!!!! How can people would be dumb enough to make fool of themselves!!! And wait for the Grand Finale, as it is Valentine s day, they got married on stage!!!! with a couple of fights in between!

My favorite public transportation goes mad .....
For those who don t know, I am currently living in Dublin, capital of Ireland sorry of the Republic of Ireland (South only). And i m sure some of u know how much I 'love' this city, where we have 4 seasons in a day well lets say 3 usually the summer is missing.
Last sunday for instance, it was snowing in the morning, rainy then more or less sunny in the afternoon! U need 3 outfits per day :P
Anyway the reason why i m talking about Dublin it s because somehow i consider myself lucky, cause last week I could have die.... It was the morning, I got a mail at work in my inbox from a friend '42A goes cabrio', i was wondering what the hell he was talking about, I was guessing by the name of the title that he was referring to a bus since bus have that type of numbers. In the mail he simply sent us this LINK from rte and I quote:

In the mail he simply sent us this LINK from rte and I quote:
'A Dublin Bus driver and 10 passengers escaped without serious injury after a bus crashed in Dublin city centre this morning. The roof came off the bus in the incident, however all passengers were seated in the lower section. The crash happened at around 8am when the bus collided with a tree near the Five Lamps on Amiens Street.'
Here the pics:
Now why am I talking about it, it s because I always well lets say 99% of the time specially when I am alone sitting on the top floor, first row, y? because being on the bus is boring and I want to have a better overview by sitting on the front or also i m sick in public transportation if i don t see the road when bus driver is driving. Anyway, I could have been there... lucky me I was not which confort me in a way that there is a good reason to pay a higher rent and live only 3 min walking from the office to avoid this type of incidents. Now, when u look at the pictures, u re thinking, how on hearth a damn tree could have destroy then entire first floor of a bus? how fragile can it be? Did they grow this tree with guiness? And why are they making double layer bus? crazy hum!

The day i fainted... part [2/2]
I guess u were all waiting for the second part of my story :) * i can hear people over excited....nah not really..anyway*
(...) I open the door of the car, one foot on the ground, stand up and I guess I freakin fell on the ground before my second foot hit the floor....lucky me my right arm was still king of functional and grabed the door before I fell so that I could hit the floor softer... I only got a bruise on my left arm, my head, and my @ss but it s ok I had some 'thicker skin' to avoid collateral damage :)
So what happened next was well I was lying on the floor unconscious, my purse was on the sidewalk, my car keys in my hand and obviously my car door still open... should i say i got lucky well in a way yes on the worst case scenario, an @ss could have let me down on the floor, grab my purse and my keys and left with my car easily without anyone seeing him, since i was living in a small street pretty quiet during the day.
So what happened next someone told me the story, because the only thing I remembered is me lying on an hospital bed holding the hand of a complete stranger... can i say i sexy stranger?
I woke up on the bed, holding my painful head wid my other hand and look at this stranger.... *conversation was originally in french, yeah at that time my english sucked even more*
Me: wtf it s going on?
*i know this is not the more attractive way to introduce urself in front of a sexy stranger however due to my situation, i was more in pain wearing the ugly hospital robe u know the one u attach on the back where everyone can see half of ur @ss when walkin... yeah that one ... so excuse my french*
SS(Sexy Stranger): hi, i found u unsconscious in the middle of the pavement 1h ago, I called the hospital, they picked u up and brought u here.
Me: really damn, what about my car?
SS: I closed ur car before leaving, ur purse is here and I did not want to look at ur cellphone but ur grandma called 5 times.
Me: shitttt I was supposed to visit her....mannnn
SS: oh my name is Tim btw
Me: oh yeah mine Cecile... so i guess u saved my life
SS: well put it like that sounds more heroique than it was, I just called the ambulance.
I could say that in my fight against migraines some good things happened to me, so of course u can imagine that i could not pass an occasion like that, how many time a sexy stranger will save ur life? usually it s the granpa neighbour or the mother with her child u never expect Prince Charming saving u so to thanks him for saving my life I invited him over for diner... and lets say that I did a break during my eternal single life at least for the remaining time I spent in Marseille finishing my master :P
And well u can imagine that the next I called my mum to tell her how effective the pills she gave for the migraine were.
Mum: did the pills stop ur migraine
Me: no but they gave me a boyfriend:)

All right People, that s it for today, i wish u a great weekend ahead yeah because it s friday today and damn i love the fridays :P
The day i fainted... part [1/2]
It was in 2003... I was in Marseille, south of france doing my master. Marseille is a gorgeous city well that s not the point I wanted to make today, just a fact *shut up! and proceed*
I don t remembered the exact date, but it was a couple of weeks after my birthday, I do remember it very well since I got the most alcoholic bday with my friend vodka-caramel.
I m telling u, there is advantage and inconvenient when u know the owner of a bar cz usually u always have few free drinks, but when it s ur bday between friends who pay for u and the waiters who had strict order to never leave with an empty glass.... bad idea!
I m gonna spare u the details of what happened the following night, but the next day when I went to my hometown to spend the weekend with my uncle, it was pretty funny.
I arrived at noon for lunch, i have to say that the one hour drive to go there was pretty tiring, mostly because I did not much sleep, i spent most of my time having a private discussion with my loo:)
So when my uncle saw me first he knew right away i had a pretty heavy night before, he already saw me in that shape, I used to do the Feria each year which is a big fiesta celebration during a week in my hometown, and I used to sleep to my uncle s so he knew. But my naive granpa was missing the point, he did not understand why I was sitting on the sofa instead of at the table drinking an 'apéro' mostly a ricard my favorite alcohol that we use to have when we were doing a diner with family or friends before the meal.
I remember my grandpa saying:
'what s wrong with her'
and my uncle replying:
'leave it, i m sure she had a tough night, she ll take an aspirine and be in shape for diner :)'
then my grandpa to say:
'it s funny I haven t notice that she has that much of freckles on her face'
well he was right I did not have that much of freckles before my bday but when I told u I spent the rest of the night discussing private matters with my loos, well u know at some point there is not much u can say when everything is gone it s gone, but nahan it did not stop me, which made the discussion even more painful that is the reason why i had some fake freckles who disappears a couple of days later. I hope u got my point cz for ur own health i won t go deeper in details on my conversation with my loos :)
*awkward moment... did they got the metaphore?*
Anyway, let s move to the real topic of my post, that was a pretty long introduction. So a couple of weeks later, I was having some bad migraines, and for those who don t know I am a migraine person for 9 years now. So I have seen dozen of doctors and took dozen of drugs, nothing so far fixed it. This time my mum sent me some new pills for the migraine.
I was about to spend the weekend with my grandma actually. So in the morning I was supposed to go to class, but I woke up with a migraine, and trust me when I woke with a migraine, i m sooo grumpy and frustrated because of it but there is nothing i can do cz it s too painful. I took some lights pills first, my mum advise me to take them when the pain is really bad. I waited till the middle of the afternoon when I could not stand it anymore. I took them, so far I was ok, and I was starting to pack my bag to take my car to see grandma.
1 hour later, I felt I dunno how to explain but lighter yes like I lost 10kg like that, or when u are in a swimming pool u do feel lighter. Anyway, I took my bag and got into my car. I sate on my seat and i say 30 seconds later I fell in sleep just like that, well for 5 seconds only I guess cz my head practically smashed the wheel driver BAM that did not wake me up, no the horn woke me up cz he was in the middle of the wheel driver * yes I had an old car, I was a student... well now that i m an employee I don t have a car!*
So I jumped out of my seat thinking that's not right, something wrong with the pills I took. I got out of the car to go back home, I did not have any time, I open the door of the car, one foot on the ground, stand up and I guess I freakin fell on the ground before my second foot hit the floor....lucky me my right arm was still king of functional and grabed the door before I fell so that I could hit the floor softer... I only got a bruise on my left arm, my head, and my @ss but it s ok I had some 'thicker skin' to avoid collateral damage :)
So what happened next was..... well I m not gonna tell u, no i ll tell on my next post :P *evil laugh* now u tell me what u think happened next? and be creative!
I don t remembered the exact date, but it was a couple of weeks after my birthday, I do remember it very well since I got the most alcoholic bday with my friend vodka-caramel.

Have fun People :P
PS: i m coming soon to ur blogs, sorry if it took me some time, I could not find any ideas to blog!!!!!Me bday week....
Phewww weekend is over, not that I m happy it s over since it's monday today and as u know monday sucks well at least I m not a monday type of person!
So as u know, well u did not know last friday I turned my very last 20+ bday yes 29! *is it a wrinkle on my face? sighs *
So to celebrate it, I went with a couple of friends to a Lebanese restaurant called Rotana Café in Dublin 2, it s a good and cheap restaurant with friends including one lebanese friend, it s always cool to go first time to a different restaurant with a local people, otherwise u don t really know what to pick, the names are usually not common and u finally end up with something u don t like and waste money and never come back. That s how i like indian food, cause I went with an Indian friend the first time and he guided me through the menu.
Anyway, we went there, went out full like guinea pigs *burps* and came back to my lebanese friend s place and as we started with lebanese food well to continue in the spirit we smoked 'chicha' as we say in Lebanon with grapes tabacco *no we did not smoke weeds!*,
I think i smoked chicha once in my life so it was funny to do it while we were listening some local music as well, the only thing missing was the warm weather from Lebanon.
Not everybody was used to smoke chicha like my friend Momo :P
As for me I managed pretty well, plus it was smelling grapes all over the living room after that :PThe next day, I went to see the movie 'Milk' with Sean Penn, It was a good movie based on the true story of Harvey Milk the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California and fight for human rights for Gay.
He and the San Francisco Mayor got shot by Dan White ex member of the Board of Supervisors in 1978. The sad thing about it is that ...in that movie they were fighting against proposition 6 for the gay human rights and now 30 years later the situation is unfortunately the same, recently they were still fighting against this time Proposition 8 in California.
I dunno I mean, depending on the country or the way u ve been educated or whatever for me I think that what happens in the bedroom only concern people living in it whatever it s 2 males, 2 females, or 1 male 1 female, who care, we re not forcing anyone to have a look it or sleep with a person of the same sex!
Anyway, the same night I went to my friend Alon s leaving party, we worked together almost 2 years and now he s going back to his country for 1 year, *sniiif* and by the time he s coming back, if he s coming back I might be myself back in my country, but it was a good fun.
Now i came back at 2, to be wake up at 4 by a phone call who did not remember that there is 5.30 freakin hours of difference between India and Ireland!!!! So, I thought he might be on the internet then I start talking to a friend and we stay more than 5 hours talking, yes yes as u can see by the lenght of my posts I can also talk forever! So I haven t sleep for the night, only a couple of hours.
On the afternoon my first ex housemate in Dublin who went on a world trip for a year lucky bastard, came to Ireland, so of course we had stories to catch up wid :P it was great to see him :P
And then to finally end up with my weekend, Vijay came to my house for diner and operated a reiki on me. The beginning was pretty funny, since I had to relax, and close my eyes, since I did not really know what he was going to do and I was supposed to close my eyes so I was keep laughing at the beginning. He finally managed to concentrate while I was focusing on relaxing *keep relaxing...visualize the relaxation yes I can :P* he draws some symbols on my head and that s it *no not wid a pencil* so far I haven t get a migraine! fingers crossed!
And that was the end of my weekend!!!
Wait before I finish I have to thanks everyone who wished me an Happy bday on the blogville, special Thanks to Hems who made a post for me with the help of Ria, Crystal, Sourish and Keshi (who also made a dedication for me:). And also thanks Ria (again) and Balvinder for their rewards.
Now it s monday evening and I know since I haven t been there as regularly as usual I haven t post any MJJ since last year so i m just gonna finish this post with 2 jokes!
Somewhere in the desert:
A judge was punishing three men because they had committed a crime. Their sentence was a few years in the desert. He said that they could each take one thing with them.
The first guy decides to take an umbrella, so that he can have shade whenever he wants.
The second guy decides to take a water bottle so that he won't get thirsty.
Finally, the third guy decides to take a car door.
The judge asked, "Why in the world would you want to take a car door?" The man replies, "Just in case it gets hot, I can roll down the window."
New flight attendant:
An airline captain was helping a new blonde flight attendant prepare for her first overnight trip. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the flight attendant the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop, and stay overnight. The next morning as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up to ask what happened to her. She answered the phone, crying, and said, "I can't get out of the room!" "You can't get out of your room?"; the captain asked. "Why not?" She replied, "There are only three doors in here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"
U take care people!
PS: anyone knows where i can get a new template for my blog I m bored wid this one and I want to pimp it :PWhat else...
I know, I know, I haven t been as often as i used to be here *bouncing her head against the wall* I already said last year that my creativity to make posts was lacking badly. Been thinking what could i possibly talk about in my next post? I know i m good at one thing, writing a huge post with ... nothing in it. Look I already made several lines out of it.
Anyway, things have been insane at work, which makes me realize that me and competition are not good friends, I hate competition, every month when i meet my manager,
I have the feeling i m coming with my grades like in school 'u ve been a bad bad girl, give me ur fingers' and BANG the ugly wood rule smashing ur fingers ;( So i d figured it out, I have to move ... wait...*thinking* ... I have to make my resume up to date, look for job, interview *looking at monster.com* ... damn i should have study engineering *sighs!*... *back on the lazy mode, sitting on my bed blogging*... well I ll think about it. I still wanna do it, but in the mean, i d like to go to India first, then will start again the resume-jobhunting-interview later when the financial crisis will be even bigger.
So what else?
Well I have to thanks 2 people today because they ve been super cool wid me, yes, at least i m lucky to have such great people in my life.
First of all Tarun has been a great gtalk friend :) I followed him each day through his master s exams, learn so much about how wearing formal dress makes him be more successful during his exam or how to stop hangover by drinkin sprite :) During the evening we sometimes do quizz, no we don t have boring life, we are actually doing social studies to see how similar can be 2 people different (by culture, religion, country...)
So if u have nothing else to do u can go on that blog thing :) So thanks again T. for getting me out of my grumpy-complaining-irish mood :)
Now the second person I deeply need to thank is my future Guru Vijay :) and guess what I met him through Orkut,
no no I know what u re thinking *she s starting a speed dating service on orkut* no u pervert, I was looking for some tips to go to India and I picked obviously indian people from a community living in Dublin :) Ok I picked single guys, but i have a theory *she s definitively starting an Orkudating!* noooo!
-Indian girls are too suspiscious, they will think what the hell this french girl wants to talk to me :( no offence for the Indian girls but none of the girls I added as a friend accepted me :(
-Married/committed Indians men: forget about it, if he dare accepting me it s probably cz his wife is NOT part of his friends' list :) or because he thinks he can have a hot one night stand with a sexy frenchy girl :)
So in consequence I picked the single guys possibly the not so desperate one :) yeah I got some weird ones but I have to say I am quite lucky cause I met nice people including Vijay:)
So Vijay, who freshly arrived in Ireland less than 4 months ago is such a nice guy because first of all he loves my pasta :) and he s gonna help me to hopefully get rid of my migraine. Last monday he actually got rid of my headache which is a good start.
Now before he can work his magic on me I need to know how to get relax, which is the tricky part. I had to listen to a woman for 30 min to get relaxed and learn how to visualize. The most difficult part was to actually STAY relax for 30 min. The first 15 min where OK, then she started to ask me to visualize an orange pencil, a green chair and so on *y do i have to see that freakin green chair in my mind again? oh yeah to VISUALIZE my bad*
the worst part was to visualize the noise of people clapping, seagals making noise, baby girl laughing (pretty annoying that litle girl)! Anyway, I have to listen to it again, and again and again untill I can fully relax during 30 min :) not easy people specially wid a super energetic frenchy like me so wish me luck i ll keep u posted :)
And now to finish this whatever post, let me share wid u a couple of quizz i did in the blogthing thingy :)
Am i boring?
60% ain t that bad right? RIGHT? *well i might go down 50% after this post*
Now the Slogan Generator:
Pretty lame, I put it cz I still have no idea what the hell this slogan mean? Is this something naughty or what? *excuse me I m not that easy! I still have some dignity ... jerk!*
And the last one, my favorite, for u the Males :)

Am i boring?
You Are 60% Interesting |
 You are a fairly interesting person. Many people find you to be intriguing. You have a dynamic, adventurous life... a life that others envy. You are genuinely interested in and open to the world. You love making new friends, and you're always up for an unusual experience. Like everyone else, you can get a bit boring from time to time. That's normal. But unlike everyone else, you can pull yourself out of a rut. You don't stay boring for long. |
60% ain t that bad right? RIGHT? *well i might go down 50% after this post*
Now the Slogan Generator:
Smile! You are in Cécile! |
 That pretty much sums you up! |
Pretty lame, I put it cz I still have no idea what the hell this slogan mean? Is this something naughty or what? *excuse me I m not that easy! I still have some dignity ... jerk!*
And the last one, my favorite, for u the Males :)
You Have Your PhD in Men |
 You understand men almost better than anyone. You accept that guys are very different, and you read signals well. Work what you know about men, and your relationships will be blissful. |

Take care people and have a smashy rest of the week :)
100 :(
I just realized it is the 100th post of my blog, I thought I ll come with a more happy note... sadly I can't. I just came back to Ireland today and after 2 great weeks it s hard to come back... harder than expected. I don t feel i m in the right place more and more... on top of that i met some people i wish i did not...good or bad thing I did a 'poem' if we can call that one, no intend to look smart or become a poem lover cz i m not I just feel like writing this fragile badly written one:
That s all, I hope u guys have a great week ahead... finishing this post with a french song that I keep listening listening and listening (well he s speaking french, spanish and english in that song :) it s call Liberta i recommend u to listen to it:
look around...see the time goes high
You made me believe I could fly
but 2 weeks went by
and all i can see is a lie
how can i be so naive... tell me y?
but don t worry i ll be fine
cause ll still believe I can reach the sky
... I m a free spirit
so go ...(i delete the last words to be politely correct :)

Tomorrow i m working, so lets focus on preparing the paper for my visa to India, :) 54 days to go... 54!That s all, I hope u guys have a great week ahead... finishing this post with a french song that I keep listening listening and listening (well he s speaking french, spanish and english in that song :) it s call Liberta i recommend u to listen to it:
The last letter
It s 3 o clock in the morning when I first started to write that post on a piece of paper since I don t have internet at in my new place yet. For some reason I have some trouble finding some sleep since I moved, probably too much stuff to think about, i m sure my BP is about to explode right now.
Ironic it is when i said friday i won t leave, I guess i m a woman and I can change opinion easily over a weekend without internet, at least it made me realise something...
Years ago, I made a big mistake, I don t know if it s because of the way I ve been raised or just cz I m a silly naive French but I used to trust people to easily which caused me lot of troubles, disappointments, tears, anger and many more feelings I tried to avoid and more or less managed to for years now. I guess at some point, I slapped myself on the face and stop trusting people like that. It still take me lots of time now to trust people and therefore the number of my real friends have been consequently reduced. But after all I am a human and I make mistakes... and sometimes, rarely, but I make the same mistake twice. When i joined Blogville I became again the silly naive French I used to be and I trusted some People in no time. I have been so disappointed lately and the only person I should blame right now is myself because once again I repeated the same mistake. I guess it's even worst and ridiculous in blogville because I got attached to people I ve never met! In some way, Blogville is like the series 'Big Brothers'. I was the first one to make fun of these guys who pretend to be best friend forever even though they met each others 2 weeks ago. Living in a close environment like that people rely on each others faster than in real life. It' s like Blogville, when u spend like myself as much time as i used to spend I had the impression that some people were or became really close to me. But now it's like a 'pen friend': when I was a teenager I used to go to England for 3 weeks each year with a bunch of teens to learn english. I met lots of people who became 'friend' because we were all together stuck in a country where we could not understand much of the language. At the end of the 3rd week it was a sad moment to leave them all, promising to each others that we will still keep in touch and we did... the first months... we wrote letters for 3 months max then we moved on, I haven t kept in touch with one single person, and most of the time I was the last one sending a letter... I m still waiting for a reply...
Sadly, it looks the same in blogville now... more and more people leaves.. I sent some letters, still waiting for some reply, but i m not a teenager anymore, and patience has not been one of my qualities after all. I put some trust in some people and I m wondering if I made the right choice and it s bothering much that i m writing that damn post in the middle of the night.
For the past 3 months I had some good moments, and some disappointments, but i only blame me, I have been sad to many time to see people left Blogville. Frankly, right now I don t need anymore of that because I used to blog to make myself busy and forget about the fact that it is winter, that I don t belong where I am and that I was missing some company. But unfortunately Blogville became like Real life, with joy and disappointment and i won t be able to handle both Blogville and Real life at the same time right now. I know I know it sounds more dramatic than it is, it s 3AM in the morning, hard to put some coherence in my text and specially in english.
So this is my last letter for at least the next 3 months.
The end of the year is coming and i m gonna have to work my ass hard to finish properly and under pressure that business year. I will be on holidays for 2 weeks in France and since I miss terribly my family I won t be online much. As for the next months well I m guessing that my life won t get more exciting than it is now! So the reason why i said 3 months, it s because by march ... hopefully... I ll be ready to fly to India for 3 weeks of holidays and at least this time i will have something to blog about it with the thousand of pics i ll have in my camera... who knows maybe there I ll meet some of u guys :)
I will still pass by ur blogs ( i m still addicted to internet) and comment on it cz i still like to write.
Of course, I am gonna miss lots of people, I had some great moments, some laugh and learned so much from some of u guys and specially from my Indian friends, I already wanted to go to India but u guys made that desire increased so much during the past 3 months that no matter what happened in India, and whether some ass are trying to scared tourists to come to India, I will come to India, I hope it will be in March 2009 cause I have a wedding to attend but i'll be there.
It is time to put an end to that loooong final post of the year ( I might squeeze a small post for Xmas here :) I l still be online for those who want to stay in touch with me, u know how to reach me (for those who don t u have my email on my profile).
I ll be back fresh in 2009, don t know if u'll be around by that time so I m just gonna say 'Aurevoir' as 'Goodbye see u soon' for some and 'Adieu' as simply 'Goodbye' for some. In the meantime u take care people!
Time to move on...
No no, don t cry I m not living YET the blogville even if my blogroll is getting more and more dry but tomorrow I will celebrate my 21st move, I promised myself the next time i ll moved it will be outside Ireland... well not this time ;( sadly I will move 1km from my actual place. I was 5 minutes walking away from the Office I will be now only 2 min away from the Office, not that I m a workaholic nooo remember i m French and i am missing terribly the 35 hours/week of work but i m moving for several reasons among them here the main ones:
- i m actually living in an igloo, it s 9 degrees in my room, I m wearing fleece pyjamas... WAT? yes u heard me FLEECE pyjamas and fleece socks and 2 damn duvet, i was starting to think if I should buy as well gloves and a hood or balaclava! That s what the translation tool gave me and when I googled it (cz i found the name weird) it s the thing used by thief who dont want people to recognize their face!!!! So I was talking about something similar that people use to go hiking in the mountain during winter not to steal a bank! Anyway i think u got the point!
- According to the contract, I was supposed to have double glazing, yeah well i m guessing that this double gazing was made in 20th century, I have these old windows where all the air u want can come through, it s so windy that when i woke up the morning and open the curtains (yeah there is not f!@#$ shutters in that country!) there is water on the inside windows, that much that the corner of the windows start to rot!!!!! During the past 3 months I had some construction in FRONT of my house, what a pleasure to wake at 8AM on SATURDAY morning ;(
- Let say that my housemate and I were not compatible, personally I don t like to find mould in the pan with some food that at some stage let say 2 weeks is barely recognizable nor having somebody starting most of her speech by 'I forgot...'!
And for the fantastic price of .... drum roll...850Euros/month (54 000 Rs it sounds even more in Rs ;)!!!! Bills not included of course!
So today, I went with my new flatmate to pick up the keys of our new flat because the real estate agent did not want to move his @ss to bring us the keys. So we took the cab, arrived at their agency, wait for him cz he did not prepare the set of keys earlier and finally told us that ' I think there is one key missing but i m not sure' 'Oh really u @sshole' well I did not say that word but trust me it was in my mind the all time I talked to him.
So we went to our flat, and guess what... indeed, the key of the entry door was missing, not the key of the door of the flat, no we could not even access the flat! So i came back in the office and I must say that I was pretty tensed! I called him and u know what this ... said ?
'the landlord will drop u the key ...at some point today' notice the 'at some point!' like he gives a shit about it... 'in that time if u wanna access it right away u can go at the entry door ...' wait for it... i thought i had a stroke.... ' wait for somebody to enter or get out, and go inside cause there is an other full set of keys in the flat' ... 'at some point' SERIOUSLY... do you really think I have NOTHING else to do in the middle of a workin day ... nothing? think again u dam ass!
So, by that time we got the key from the landlord who seems to have the same problem with the agency, my flatmate call back the @ss telling him he was not very professionnal, do u know what he dared to say? 'Don t disrespect me!' OMG! gladly I was not on the phone with him when he said that, otherwise I would have come expressly to his office to show him how much I m respecting him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a very hectic day, now I just came back from the Chandni my fav indian restaurant in town, i m in my room for my last night, I almost finished to pack everything which includes:
- 5 suitcases
- 7 bagpacks
- 3 big boxes
- my computers
- my roller skates
- and a dozen of bags at least!!!!
Yes, I m looking at it right now and I m thinking of my final move from Ireland, I have absolutely NO idea how I m gonna move ALL my stuff to France!!!!!!!!
That s it for now, I probably won t have internet at my new place for a week or so, my response to ur comments will be slower than usual :) but i ll be back with pics of my new place.
Bye bye old place, hello new one! U have a great weekend people!!!
