pre-dubai

While walking last night, I was telling a friend how everything that's taking place in my life seems like a dream. Dreams start from somewhere and it is always good to dream, yet remaining in touch with reality.

Early this year, I dreamt of accomplishing things without any time frame in mind. There was the meeting in Loppiano, Italy for architects in the Focolare, then there's an immense desire to be with Lilly again (which at that point in time had to be in Austria), and a practical life decision that in order to go to these areas, I had to have money to pay for the trip.

Money?! Yes, everyone needs money, but not as an end. I don't care how much money I have in my pocket as long as I live a full life and it doesn't have to be materialistic and consumeristic.

Anyway, April arrived and the news came that there's a job available in Dubai. So I rushed to prepare all the documents. For those who know, the authentication process is really an experience. So I went through it fair and square just to learn at the end that there is a more convenient way to do it. Schade!

I've previously set my departure on the 1st of June which instead was moved to the 7th by some saving grace. It was providential since I still haven't my documents for Europe and Dubai. Talk about doing things on the last minute. I did everything humaly possible but I really had to wait. There are things that I cannot control. In the end, the invitations, the visas and the money arrived.

But before any of these happened, there are already the parties happening here and there. Two of the most important ones are with the gen and with the boks.

Crap. This post is done in 3 sessions. Now I just don't have the drive to write it when I stared to do it. Tata for now...
