I, II & II and a half Stories!

I Crash Vs Love Actually
... doesn't anyone think that Crash is the opposite of Love Actually. Stories of different people, all connected in some way or the other. Love Actually happiest things ever. Crash - things couldn't get worse!!!! I finally watched Crash last night, and frankly I almost went to bed before the first half - couldn't bare to watch past the Cop Frisking scene. Absolutely fantastic movie.

II Cape Town and Dubai
... eeeeeeeee, I'm going to both! 3 days to go and the excitement's hitting me at last!Got my ticket from Jo'burg to Cape Town! Somehow having an actual ticket in my hands means a shitload more than that e-ticket thing!!!! Just seems more real! ...took a break there, and a lot has happened during the day, its getting more and more exciting! Just checked out the weather for the next couple of days and its seems like it may rain on Friday... wonder if their Met Dept. is as spot on as ours, hehee! Sadly there may not be much of the South African adventure, but I'm quite certain it beats most "Business Trips", considering we're going to study Malls! Aah, at last, I can say I love my job! My god, I've NEVER said that, I think... uuhh, I'm sure, in my whole life... or ever since I had a job! Ok, ok, I'm not going to say I LOVE my job, but I will admit its going sooper coolio right now! ...hmmm, I just think there's got to be something I'm more passionate about, that WILL pay me money, that I'll do sometime in my life!

Alright, if I don't leave now, the lift will be switched off, and I'll be trudging down 13 floors, so part II & a half - Dubai may or may not follow tomorrow!

Economic Times

Hi, I'm Tartrazina - BA (PyES)! Hahahaha! Biggest joke of my life! Its strange how us uninformed, aimless, carefree spases chose what we wanted to study back then! Not just the biggest joke - but by far the longest - 3 years, at that!!!

I was reading the ET today - I've started reading the ET over the past year, when I realised its not as ugly as the colour of the paper they print on! And tho' I only read whats relevant to me and my work, I sometimes gaze at words that catch my eye! "BoP", was one such word, that triggered off this post today! So it seems after taking Economics for 3 bloody years, I have no recollection of what the term Balance of Payments actually means, or atleast what context!!!!! Off my 3 years in college more than "studying" Psychology, Economics and Sociology, the REAL contributing factor to my life's success (I know you may not think I am from this blog, but in my head, sometimes, I AM!!!!!!!!) definitely was living away from home - in hostels & PG's & with friends! Those were the things that really mattered!!

Infact other than the faces of my lecturers, there's nothing I remember from those classes!!!! I remember more from Psychology classes in school than from college. Tho' I don't regret it, college was such a bloody joke!

As usual, there is no real point that I'm making, just blogging for blogsake! ...wow, time to blog again, finally!
