SO I leave in two days...

I have packed (sort of)
Getting my vissa tomomrrow
Going shopping
Have my ticket...
Have to finish a paper

Saying my cya laters...

And for some reason I have am full of such peace. I do not want to cry you know...but I think I will soon or later. Its pretty sad leaving this place. So many beautiful memories locked and loaded in this lovely city of Ottawa. It will always be with me and it will always be in my heart.
As much as I am going to miss this beautiful place of Ottawa..I am also going on to new adventures. I am making a dream of mine come true.
another one....I have always wnated to live and work in Africa. ...So here I come Cameroon.

I am first going to be in Oman for six days..with my parents and then I will be off and away to Cameroon. The adventures begins, the lessons, the ideas the dreams...the desire...
The adventure of a life time....

10 days and Counting..
This is a representation of how far of I've come...

yeah the little black one is moi ..and the yellow picture is a picture of me..back in the day when I had litterally a red fro

I swear...I look at this picture and it just reminds me of so much.
I feel like I was two years old when I came to Carleton and miracously I have become my 22 years old self ...

I would like to thank anybody and everybody that has brough a smile to my face or tears to my eyes...I have become a better stronger person...
Better person than I ever thought I would be

Now I am off to a nother challenge in my life..to live my life long dream of living and working in Africa

Not that it will be easy..and I am not expecting it be
But one thing for sure is that by the end of my term I will ask myself two questions
1) How did I deal with the challenges that came my way?
2) Was the MC and Cameroon a stronger country as a result of my teams and (my actions)?

I know by the end of it all I will be able to say yes..the past five years have armed me with the strength to make big things happen...bigger than I've ever seeen :)

Two new and beautiful quotes

I love the power of words and the human mind :)


"When life gaves you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile"

We know, with a sudden jarring clarity, that if we don't go right now, we're never going to do it. And we will be haunted by our unrealized dreams and know that we have sinned against ourselves gravely. -Tim Cahill, travel writer

another great quote

"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which; he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both." Buddha


I would like to think that I'm kind of like this never too serious or never too playful..just a little bit of both :)
