london-bound

i am off to london in less than 24 hours to meet up with some friends i haven't seen in awhile.

it all started with a small, a really small plan between my friends r and e. r is based in manila and works for an international foundation. she'll be in london for a conference during the last week of july. e is our friend who is now based in switzerland. they decided to meet up.

a, our friend who is based in hong kong found out about this planned meeting and wondered why it was not made public. he wanted to join. he won't be busy during this time since he would be in dubai, then greece with his family. then he's flying to iran for work, then he'll fly to london.

then they realized that they would all be in london during the first week of august. they remembered me. they asked if i wanted to celebrate my birthday with them in london. actually, they need not ask. i was about to ask them if they could squeeze in one more hefty body.

that, in a nutshell, is the reason why i am going to london. hee. i am so excited.
