http://instagram.com/marykebz <----- Follow me on Instagram :) I will be posting throughout the month so easier to keep track of what I am up to!
So a lot has been going on in my life the last month or so, actually the last 6 weeks! I am going to try keep it short, otherwise I will be writing pages and pages, and therefore I might end up boring you :P
I fell sick with flu on the 2nd of December, had 5 days off and decided to go back home for 4 days. I got more sick and finally went to see a doctor who said I am not fit to fly (not even as a passenger) because I had severe ear problems and if I was to fly, I could burst my eardrum and you could end up losing your hearing permanently so it's not something to take lightly.
Stayed in South Africa until the 17th, flew back to Dubai, then had a flight to Nice in France on the 19th. That was unexpected, for it is a city which I have always wanted to visit. Just my luck: It rained from the moment I got there, so could not do any sight-seeing :( meh!
I am now on Home Standby, for another 5 minutes - fingers crossed I don't get called for a flight eeeek! I have London tomorrow, which will result in me landing back into Dubai the morning of Christmas day. So spending my Christmas and potentially New Years in Dubai. Not fun.
A legend of South Africa died on the 5th of December: Nelson Mandela - the first black leader of SA. He was a world icon and I was privileged to be in the country at the time when he was announced dead. Went to see his movie: Long Walk To Freedom a few days later and what an amazing story! I learned so much about my country's own history which I never really knew or understood. So, if the movie is showing in your city, do go watch it, you won't be sorry!
While I was in stuck in SA, I celebrated an early Christmas with my family :) was so blessed to see everyone together again (my brother and his wife is currently visiting from Perth)
I realized again, that money isn't everything in life and it can't always buy happiness. I am considering my future and things might change soon, I want to be home with the people that matter most to me and I want to have my normal life back.
Below, some pictures of the last couple of weeks:

Hi Maryke, from reading your blog I've noticed that you sounded little depressed. Flying can be quite lonely at times, I hope you'd come around soon. I hope you are not thinking of resigning? Just want you to know that whatever you decide on doing, I will always be a sincere reader. Looking forward to your next update. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Hi honey! Thank you for your lovely message, and Merry Christmas to you too! Hope you are enjoying the day with loved ones! I just got back from London this morning so not spending Christmas with any family or friends, but I celebrated Christmas a few days ago with family...
ReplyDeleteI am getting married in just over 3 months, and I have decided that it would be best to go back home just before the wedding. Once I am married to my best friend, I want to start our lives together again, and not have to worry about coming back to Dubai for a few months without seeing him everyday... I have been here just over a year now and I know that I am ready to go back home - that is where my heart is and belong.
Thank you for reading my blog x0x
