What does 2011 bring? Many opportunities that we need to embrace. I have been blessed with some of the best friends that anyone could ask for. My peeps been there for me in good and bad, through thick and thin and for that I appreciate them so much.
I spent New Years Eve at an event called 'Nocturnal'. Aside from the fact that there was NO CLUB SODA at the bar, overall, I had a swell time and it was interesting to see so many people that I haven't seen in forever. Big up to Ray, Anthon, Mark and the entire NMI Crew on a job well done. Events Management is an artform that teaches through experience. As with any other event, valuable information is learned and skills perfected.
On a yearly basis, I use New Years Eve to party and at the same time reflect on the poor decisions I made the past year. Embrace the new opportunities that have presented themselves to me for the coming year. Weighing each one through its own merit and start the decision making process. I am really not into New Years Resolutions because on January 1st, when the drunk inebriation wears off, most of them are totally pointless!
I also want to congratulate my sister, Jellene Gore and her significant other, Dion Ferary on the birth of my niece, Mackenzie Diondra Jaila Ferary, she made her debut on January 3.
It's been a pretty ULTRA year thus far. I got some other great news on Friday which totally set the mood for things in store in 2011. Just can't wait to share it with each and everyone of you. May be a few more days before I can spill the beans but hold strain, I will update you soon.
Until we talk again, Be Good and if you must be naughty, be nice with it. Bless
I have known Tracey (Trace) most of my life as she grew up around the corner from me and our parents were old friends...
We became close friends while working for the same company, Caribbean Star Airlines. I worked at the Antigua Airport while she was a Flight Attendant. She was always a high energy person who is indeed fun to be around. Not to mention the parties we used to throw ever so often at either her place or her sister, Hazel's. Truly the life of the party, there is just never a dull moment when she's around. I remember December 2006, Trace kept harassing me to accompany her to Sint Maarten for a weekend. I wasn't keen on going so I used to make excuses like, I'm broke or I have things to do this weekend.
In February 2007 as soon as I returned from Trinidad Carnival she called and asked what I was doing that weekend. I replied, Nothing. She said "Great, and don't tell me your broke cause you just got a big pay off... We are going to Sint Maarten!" I couldn't back out so I agreed.
Trace left early the morning of the trip and we agreed I would come over later that day as I have never been a morning person, nor did I intend to try to be for the sake of friendship. LOL. When I arrived in Sint Maarten, I spent about an hour speaking with old friends at the airport and I finally called Trace to find out where we were staying. I got the directions and was on my way.
On arrival at the hotel, we went out for dinner to this 'cheap and cheerful' Mexican Restaurant. While eating, Trace looked over and said, "I have someone to introduce to you." I was a bit puzzled but I didn't ask any questions. If you know her as well as I do, you would know that she generally always has something up her sleeve. We then went on to talk about what we should do for nightlife. After careful consideration and deliberation, Maho won the toss.
I called Kerwan, an ex Caribbean Star colleague to pick us up and we were off to the 'City that Never Sleeps' SXM Style. What a fantastic weekend it was.
Got sidetracked a bit lot, let me get back on topic...
I remember meeting Owen that weekend, he is a cool, calm and always collected individual. Working on a yacht, he was taken out of his normal environment of his Native Australia and transplanted, at the time, in Sint Maarten. It still baffles me to this day how the stars aligned and brought him to Antigua to meet Trace at Abracadabra! Now, they are getting married.
So it all happens on Friday, I am very excited as I know this will be the Wedding of the year. Congrats, Trace and Owen!
