Good News

Well guys I am completely ecstatic because today I started my new internship and you will never believe where, NBC LONDON THAT RIGHT NBC LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, last Thursday I had a interview, which was just more like a meeting, with the Deputy Bureau Chief of NBC London and it went really well and she wanted me to start right away, like that same day. I was not really prepared and one of my friends from work was having a going away party so it would be cutting it too close. So anyway I told her that I would start on Monday and that was no problem. So basically the internship consists of logging news reels and that's it, how easy is that and its a great way to get yourself in and God willing I will be able to maybe get a job... I can't believe it had to take me to go half way across the world to finally get a top television internship but I am truly grateful for having this opportunity. I will be sure to keep you guys posted on the progress of my internship.

Back to Normal :-(

Well Nella left about a week ago and during her visit we had a wonderful time. Almost every night we went somewhere new, for example St. Paul Cathedral and walking on the Milleuim. But the most smashing thing that we did was going to The Ritz for tea. It was unfortunate that we had to arrive there via the Underground but that was ok. Outside there were so many limos and expensive cars with the driver just sitting and waiting, I totally just wanted to jump in one of them but i didn't ehehehehe... Anyway, the tea was wonderful, we drank Earl Gray and the sandwiches were to die for. The waiters were really attentive and made sure the refilled our tea and sandwiches, I was actually expecting them to treat us not so good but they were great. Well enough about the tea, it just really sucks that Nella had to leave so soon but I really think she had a good time and hopefully she will return soon...

So I am very excited, why you ask... Well this weekend our good friend, Nella, is coming to visit us for 2 whole weeks!!! Myself and RC always tried to persuade her to come with us to London, but it just wasn't her cup of tea and I do believe she said it would be a long while before she would come and visit us. But I guess she just missed us so much that she had to make her visit sooner then expected :-D Anyway we will be sure t0 make her visit one to remember and maybe she might not even want to return, but I know that is highly unlikely. We have a lot of things planned, of course the usual site seeing and pub crawling and we have even lined up having tea at the Ritz. I can't believe we will be having tea at the Ritz in London, man just saying that is wicked, so i guess i will have to brush up on my etiquette. Ummmm I wonder if we have to wear a fancy hat... Well I am sure Nella will have a great time and make sure you check out her blog http://www.hotporkchop.blogspot.com/
