From the time I was again gone from the bloggie world though I intended to stay and write my heart out in all the days of my life, I failed to do so but I have plenty excuses why (and I thought of a better excuse this time besides being sickly and ridden with work,) I have actually caught up with Culture and the arts! Yes, yes I did read Pride and Prejudice finally and now halfway reading Sense and Sensibility, and have acquired a copy of what a tour to the Louvre in Paris would be like... I have not shelved that dream, I will still be able to go to Paris as my supposed travel in 2006 was cut short prior to my birthday all because WORK has called me back! Work. It's a love and hate relationship as you all know it is 60 percent of my being and the rest of the 40 is shared among family, friends and karaoke. But without my work I wouldn't be walking the historic streets of Boston nor drool on the picturesque Venice, work has taken me to places and countries I thought I'd be ready to die upon seeing! 2010 and I'm still alive I guess that's always the feeling when you find something very very nice you feel you owe your life to it!
It's nothing to boast, my being in several dream countries were because of work assignments, without it I won't even own a passport. I have seen the " exotic" as they say, the progressive, the poorest and the coldest and warmest places in the world, yet the more I see the more humbling the experience... I don't walk their streets as a usual tourist but live in their neighborhoods, learn basics of the language,eat what they eat and adjust to the time in wherever region of the country our buildings are needed to be built.
My travels have not made a louder version of myself but made me see how life goes on for others parallel to mine and will continue to exist even when I'm gone!
To me in my world in my own understanding, there is no race, there is no color, there is no such big difference in the way people want to be valued, our difference is in our convictions reflecting into our character making some evil and others angels.
I will let you know when I will be going to see the world again this year, if were able to get some projects in Dubai I'll take you all with me!
Meanwhile, pray that this year will all be better for us!
Kisses!
Sassy.

I love to lose myself in a book! It doesn't matter if it is an old classic or something modern, I just love the feel and smell of books!
I love travelling too, and have been to most places in Europe, but also Iceland and America, but like Dorothy, there is no place like home!
You needn't take me to Dubai - just my shopping list.
Aah, who am I kidding - of course you can take me to Dubai!!!
