Last days in London

Right, let me start off by saying that I am actually going to miss being in London now, because there were a few things I wanted to do that I did not achieve. I admit I was quite bored at the beginning, found myself with no direction, no purpose, no real responsibilities, and hence no reason to get up in the morning and make the most of my day. I love sleeping in, don't get me wrong, but when my uncle came for the day from Madrid, as I was talking to him I realised there were actually quite a few things I could do in London, such as go to the zoo and sketch animals, which is a fanatastic idea! I originally also intended to seek a cat shelter and volunteer for a while to care of some cats, but I never got to finding the place, even though I did do some research in the internet beforehand. But anyways, the zoo was a good alternative as I could go any time, any day, and spend as much time as I desired. Well, I never really got to do this, but other things came up fortunately.
For example, an old internet buddy of mine from about 5 years ago actually took the liberty to find me on Facebook, and it just so happened he lived in London, so we decided to meet up for the first time. He's the second ever person I met from the internet (the first being my much beloved boyfriend), only very few internet friends of mine survived as I soon found out back in the day that there were loads of assholes out there. Currently most of my online socialising consists of people from school or uni, so people I knew in person beforehand. But I weighed out the pro's and con's and the chances of this dude being someone completely different from whom he claimed to be on Facebook, but I took the chance in meeting him. He turned out to be one of the coolest people, and we really clicked, which was a bonus. =) He's also a local of London and showed me an interesting area of the city which was completely unknown to me. We chatted long and I met one of his friends and we finished the afternoon off with a soggy (due to the rain) Subway sandwich. It was a great day indeed, and hopefully I'll keep in contact with him, even though I'll be in Bristol by the time I get back from Colombia.
Speaking of which, I leave early next month to Colombia for a whole 3 months, but I leave the UK next Tuesday, to Rome first to be with my mum, sister, and uncle. I've only really got 2 days left here and there was one more thing I wanted to do which was go see an IMAX film of an African lion documentary, apparently in 3D, but my hopes are low as to how possible that will be. No worries, tomorrow I am hopefully going to see a good friend of mine from my boarding school days in France, cause she just turned 18 this month and she's flying back to France on the day, so I really want to see her and say goodbye for the summer. I love her heaps and she's loads of fun, and I hope she likes the card I got her.
Oh, and let me briefly tell you people about my last weekend here. As usual, spent it with my boyfriend, whom I love to death, and we were invited to a wedding reception on Saturday evening. Well, as always, we did not shop earlier to get something decent to wear so we spent the whole afternoon looking for something for both of us...and shopping is not something we do often. It was hard looking for a skirt the right size and prize, but I did finally find it (luckilly I had a nice shirt and shoed already). And my boyfriend managed to find a nice simple shirt and a belt. His search took longer than expected, and to be honest, we were both exhausted by the end of the day, and we still had to get back and get ready and go to the reception. It was the first time my boyfriend saw me in a skirt, let alone in heels and a skirt, but it was nice for both of us, and I quite enjoyed myself, despite my stubborness for not 'boogie-ing', but I did slow dance a few times which I am sure was much appreciated by my other half. And we also ended up playing a bit of chess on a giant drawn board on the floor with giant plastic peices which were layed out in the patio area. We gave up playing after about 10 minutes, just no patience from neither of us, and plus, he ate one of my peices, the Knight (horse head). In the end it was a lovely evening, and he sang a karaoke song which he performed it very well I think (sang 'Pretty Woman') and the cake was yummylicious I must say. Stole a few pieces to take back with me too, hehe.
So yeah, pretty nice these last few days, and I am very much looking forward to my summer. I will miss my boyfriend tremendously, and I shall keep my fingers crossed that he will be able to go to Colombia for a couple of weeks in August, but if not, I shall be looking forward to seeing him when I get back to England. Changing the subject a little, I would also like to express my happiness to my younger sister Muriel, who just graduated from high school last Friday, and that I am so sorry I could not be there. I know she's alright with this, but I feel partly disappointed with myself. Te quiero Muri, and I am very proud of you!
OK, I'll stop for now, as it is 1am and we need to wake up at 7am....yuck. Hehehe...till next time!
