dear all,
i cannot believe how fast the past week has gone, in particular the last few days. international induction started on thursday, and since then the isa exec was kept on their toes for three days non-stop, running here there and everywhere. today was the first day i actually managed to put in more than six hours of sleep, but hey, i must say that it was more than worth it putting the whole induction thingy together.

well, firstly, the house has been moved into, and now the four of us reside on whinney hill in our little house which has become our haven and hideaway. sometimes i really love that house. it really feels like home.

the house on whinney hill.

the two items that i put up on my wall first because they are mucho importante: my linkin park poster and the cannabis t-shirt that kz gave me.

the view from my window. i sit at my desk and watch the clouds go by, dreaming of my prince charming...

renu carmen and myself modelling the isa exec shirts. yes, those shirts. the night this pic was taken we dressed up in nowt but said shirts, high heels and low-slung belts and acted out our own version of charlie's angels. *haha*

the women of the isa exec: reem, carmen, renu, anisha and yours truly.

our pride and joy: the party on saturday night -- r.e.l.a.t.i.v.i.t.y. the experience was mind-blowing. up till now i'm still reeling from the after effects and the heaps of compliments we received. we're just glad everyone had a good time!

with one of my best friends in the whole world: renooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i also meant to put up a picture of me and the faz, but i seem to have misplaced it right now and since i'm at the mary's computer room and my pictures are physically in my computer at home which is a five minute walk away in the rain -- oh, i'll just put that one up when next i blog, because the faz really looked stunning saturday night. (it's a 'hello boys' kinda shot, although i'm not at all surprised since the faz always looks wonderful anyway. watch this space.)

we managed to make everything work properly, and the exec was on a roll as each member was an integral part of a well-oiled machine. it was wonderful hanging out with each and every one of them, and somehow, it didn't seem like work at all, and more like the party that it was meant to be. seeing the smiling faces of everyone we talked to at the end of the night only served to make those feelings of satisfaction even more prominent.

so since i think i might be taking up too much space, i'll sign off here. although all this whirlwind of excitement is going on around me, somehow i can't seem to forget about you people back home. i wish you all were here with me so i could tell you in person about the joy that has entered my life so that you all can be proud of me, but the best way i can tell you is through this blog of mine. do take care and you are all in my prayers. i miss you and love you all and am eager to hear from everyone. once again, best wishes and i'll be seeing you before you know it.

much love,
tanya
