There's a feeling that I have never felt before. I don't know how to describe it. But it's the guilt and sadness that I feel when I can't be there for someone I love when they need me most. This is one thing that I have struggled with since coming to England.
Technology is a powerful means for keeping in touch and to bring people closer. However, it just does not offer the love and comfort that a good friend deserves.
I remember saying to Bill how I've left at the worst of times... but now, it's kind of all spiralled... with everything.
Even though I cannot be physically there for you guys when you need me, rest assured that you guys are always in my thoughts. I am so sorry to the ones that are going through some hard times at the moment. I can only hope it will get better... as I believe good things happen to good people.
Missing home... missing my good friends xxx

So the story goes...
On Friday morning Sandy is all excited about her trip to Spain with her boy. After all, she will finally get an actual summer. She was pissed off to know that her flight was delayed for about 1hr. When she finally got on the plane she immediately recognised a familiar face, her Integrated Service Manager aka BIG BOSS, Andy.
"Sandy, what are you doing here?"
"Like you, going to Spain! What are the odds?!"
"You told me before you were going on leave, didn't know you were heading overseas. Lucky you didn't call in sick!!!"
"I know, otherwise I would be busted big time. I am on annual leave, you can check with admin!"
Hahaha.. lucky I am an honest and truthful Social Worker!!!
Anyway... the trip was awesome. The sunshine was perfect and the heat was welcoming. Barcelona is such a vibrant city. Shops are open till late every night and people are always out and about. The beach made me feel right at home! The three days and two nights was just not enough. Especially when we had no choice but to spend Sunday at Reus. Nuh, long story. I got a bit sunburnt on the shoulers and back.. woohoo!!!!! I finally feel like I have had a Summer... =D
Photos will be up on FB when I get the chance... xxx

Haven't blogged for a long time.. *oops*
Travelled a bit last weekend to Cardiff, Bristol and Bath. Photos are on FB :)
Jean and Alicia are over in Europe. They hung out with me for a few days in Coventry and are now on a tour around Europe. Wish I was with them :( Here's a pic we took at Cardiff Castle <3
So it's been just over three months that I have been in England. Nothing much has changed :) Working everyday... travelling when we get the chance to :)
On the other hand, hope all is good back home <3 xxx
