This one is still kicking

Hello there my long lost friends! Why yes, I am still alive, thank you for noticing. I have suffered quite an ordeal, which is why I haven't written in so long; I have been without Internet for the last month. The horror. The good side (or the bad side, it all depends on how you look at it) is that it will make for a (somewhat) long post. So let's get to it, shall we?


I'm moving to Galway Saturday (how's that for starting with a bang?). Yep, that's right, I am leaving Dublin, my full time office job and my apartment five minutes away to go live in a smaller town near the ocean where it rains all the time and there's less stuff to do. But I love it. I've been to Galway three times. I didn't like it the first time, but the next two I did. I felt as though I could breathe better there, near the sea and the nature. I also found a job there. Believe it or not, I used The Secret and visualized it every day. Within a week I had three job offers. I ended up taking a job at an Apple Re seller. They gave me a call for a job in Dublin, and at the end of the interview they mentioned that they were opening a new store in Galway. I mean, what are the odds?

And so I joined nine guys and one girl for training down in Galway this past Monday. The training was done in probably the nicest hotel in Galway, the Meyrick Hotel. We were treated with lunch there everyday and it was delicious. I even treated myself on the third day and went to the spa. They have a lovely Jacuzzi on a balcony with a view of the city and the sea. It made for a great afternoon. Well, a great day, to be honest, as I found my new apartment that same day. I won't spoil anything by giving you details, but let's just say that is it fabulous. Nowhere near what I have here (in a good way). I am moving there Saturday, so I'll upload photos very soon. 

I also be uploading pictures of my new city, but for now, how about my last pictures of Dublin?

Swans in the park


My favorite view in St Stephen's Green


I don't remember what this one is

That open window leads to my room :D

I lied about my name at a Starbucks! :D

My beautiful new world map


The famous Temple Bar. It's almost impossible to get a picture of it without anyone around. I took these at 9am on a Saturday.

Rainbows all around!!!
