A Big Surprise

And today it was a very busy and long day... lotta working and studying! All day long actually...
I don't like Saturdays like this, but eventually I had a real nice moment, because I had a great surprise!

I was in my room, with some music on and I was just studying and getting cranky about some Arabic translation, when suddenly I heard a knock on my door; usually my dad does that before coming in and I simply didn't pay much attention, but then once again a knock on the door, so I simply stretched out my arm and lazily opened the door, and when I looked up... I saw there was a guy standing there: my friend, Alberto!

Alberto, who is like a big brother to me, has spent 10 months in Australia! He got finally back!!! Oh my God! I was totally surprised and I couldn't believe it! He was just there standing, leaning on the side of the door, with his sunglasses on, looking at me! The only thing I did was just looking at him for 5 seconds, then I opened my mouth and the only thing I said was "no, that's not possible!", then I closed again the door *lmao* and after 5 seconds I opened it again and looked at him like he was a ghost!

Oh my, I looked quiet stupid, *lol*, but that was funny!
Then my brain finally reacted and I stood up to hug him... and, guys, wow, such a refound and stronger hug! Me and him got closer and closer in the last year, altho he has been knowing me since I was maybe 6 or 7! He's my brother's friend and I grew up with him, but now we got closer and our hug was stronger than ever! We stayed in that hug for a minute or two and I got crying in his arms! It was raelly emotional and I was simply very happy to see him and see he was back and was there to say hello to me and my family! It was lovely!

I couldn't believe it and I couldn't even believe I got crying over the all situation.

Then of course he started telling 'bout his time there, his experiences, and he made see once again how important is just to travel and to throw yourself into situations: when he left he was sad (he had lost his job and had probs with a girl), very negative about everything and he just felt like he didn't know where to go or what to do, kind of lost and then he just put himself into the situation, trying to just see what it could bring. Well, he's totally changed! He sees things differently, he sees that after all that bad moment was just a moment which was not that bad and now he can say he's happy with everything and that he's raedy to face problems and everything else better. It's incredible how travelling can make you feel different, how just having a little bit of faith can help and give a new chance to everything.

I was very happy and he me feel even more how much I just wanna live and go away from here!

It's been a real nice moment... I must admit the weekend started off nicely... or better, I can say my weekend is not great but had some nice moments: yesterday I finally received those envelopes I was waiting for and that put a smile on my face for at least a full hour! And then just the idea of checking everything out for London... wow! I had a doubting moment and a moment of thinking "oh God, what shall we do?", but then I just thought like, "hey! I mean, we're leaving anyway, so who cares??? Let's just be happy and enjoy this mess coming from the setting-up-the-trip-moment and let's get ready to enjoy then the real vacation!", that gives me the ready mood and the right adrenaline to work things out!
Then of course today I got this nice surprise... so... yeah, nice!

And just wating for other things to come...few days ago a friend of mine, a cool friend of mine, Rohan, told me "the word News comes from North, East, West and South". Well, it's perfectly true!!! All you have to do is just stand on the top of the hill and wait for the wind to blow, bringing you that news and then just get ready to catch it!

Good things will always come our way, and we may appreciate them just after catching some bad things as well...

Have a good Saturday everyone,

Love,

Mary
