From New York City to Haiti

What if I had known earlier?

Sometimes I wonder how life would be different if I wanted what I really wanted to do with my life before graduating from college. Would it have been worth it? or would I take it for granted and chase plan B instead? But then I realize that I had to go through all this hardship to actually discover that THIS was it! It is more than a “want”, it’s a passion. I prefer having to fight for this passion instead of having to have known and giving up when tough got tough. I’m sure you have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s OK I don’t either.

Rainy Days

Haiti is on orange alert for tropical storms or is it hurricanes, is that the same thing? Well it has been raining incessantly. I had a great seafood dinner with my parents under the rain last night in Petion Ville and this morning I woke up to the sky pouring over my house. As I have said many times before, I am a pedestrian, I own a BM-double pye (play on words on BMW and not owning a car in Kreyol). As soon as I woke up I thought, How am I going to get to work? Coincidentally, as soon as I checked Twitter, I realized that we had been given a last minute national holiday, ascension I think. Just my luck! So today, I spend the day in bed, on the internet, catching up with some friends and now I am drinking a nicely sweetened tea that my mother just made =). All and all today was a great day for me, however I cannot forget all the people living in the tents who has to endure all the water and flooding. I will now spend the rest night looking at shoes that I cannot afford and BBM-ing people.
