Be Yourself, No Matter What They Say.......

It’s Mawazine 2010 – Festival de Musiques et Rythmes du Monde at Rabat. Last night, somebody invited me to watch the concert of Sting. So we traveled from Casablanca to Rabat and at the meeting place there’s this Artists’ Exhibit and I am so amazed to see all the exotic artworks being displayed. I was able to buy a simple item from the artist Maryline Bottero and while going around, it reminded me of someone when I saw those coffee table books about the various places in Morocco which are similar in presentation as the “Shining Through” book. Good thing my attention was called that I was able to divert my emotion as it was suggested that we had dinner first at a Thai Restaurant ( I forgot the name) as the concert is scheduled to start at 9:30PM.. At the concert, I could not forget a certain phrase of Sting’s first song which is “…be yourself, no matter what they say…” Am trying to change my lifestyle here now when outside the workplace as I still have to uphold my dignity and professionalism in the Company.. last Friday, I went home late as my friends invited me to have fun at La Bodega and I experienced this after so many years since the time I had my last dance - I was trying to project that I was fine then while dancing although I could feel the wines I drunk already sinking into my head so I decided to invite my friends to go home already as it's also getting late already and anticipating that as usual, every Saturday early morning, my parents would call me from the USA and I have to get up early and pretend as if everything is fine with me here… so nice to be in another place, away from home just trying to “be yourself, no matter what they say” as the song goes as long as my weekends would be full of activities otherwise, I would feel I am not complete!
