Still alive!
Ask me and I'll give you a a minimum 10 answers to what job will definitely make me happy. Period.
- Being a photographer.
- Working in an island.
- Photo journalist (Not it's not really the same as #1)
- Fashion buyer (I like clothes and I love to play dress up still!)
- Foodie
- Makeup artist
- Adventure writer
- Dive Instructor
- Yoga Instructor (working and getting fit at the same time? Hell yeah!)
- Running and owning a club/bar
- Running an eatery
Those in Italic (duh) are the jobs I have done before and some still doing it. Most people I met have said that I am creative (HUH?) and would be interesting to have as part of their team. Most are afraid that I will take off (quit work) due the the inconsistency of my "job".
Well, my answer would be one and it remains as so.
"I have skills that I appreciate and it takes a brave someone to accept me as I am."
Those in BOLD are job waiting to be taken up by me. Ones in BOLD & Italic are the ones I have done but have yet to seriously feel content that I have done enough/gained enough experience. So, I'm working on that too.
As for the sparse blog entries, I am more keen on reading yours than you reading my lame life drama.
Cheers!

Triple 9ers
There's this joke people keep saying to me. That I am on a working holiday already. In a way yes but I'm not going to pretend because I know it's better than this. Ahh, I cannot wait. My finger is jammed on the Ding Dong button. That's right, you heard me right.Tap, tap, tap.
As for this random post, it's the triple niner. I can't help but be cheesy. Which reminds me, anyone else enjoys cheese platter? Geezus, I can't stop eating those stinky bleu!
AND this pic below wins it for best dive photo! *roll on the floor laughing* Just thank god it wasn't me in the water. I could of drown from laughing so much underwater..hahahahaha!
Underwater trapeze!

Embarking on a new journey
As if life hasn't changed for me the past few months in matter of days (confused?) I am embarking on yet another life changing course to add more spice to life. My lifestyle now is a far change from the previous years. No more am I relaxing just waiting for the next plane to hop on, I am now seeking for new adventures. I have put my photography on the side (not permanently mind you) to allow a bit more perspective into my own life. Ideas bombarded me as usuall but its time to pluck them off the air and live it.
While I cannot deny that I have fallen off the "friends & people" radar, I find it so much better this way at the moment. Not wanting to make promises to go out with anyone because I am for now enjoying every bit of living on my own. I have strangers as housemates *gasp* but liberated that I do not have to answer to anyone or report of my whereabouts whenever I out too late or not home at all. Finally, bound to no one's rules but my own. Again, liberated.
In weeks time hopefully (if not months) life will take on a new path. I just cannot wait. Excited and delirious, I have the monkeys in my life to thank for that.
Sweet emotion
=)

Groundzero
I have morphed into a zombie within a month of working. My current life is scheduled to clock in more sleep (i hate sleepy workday). And an assasin could easily get me on the second week of stalking.
Fret not though, my feet itches still and the world shall be my playground.

I mean it, let's PARTY!
Let's not drop any names but we all know who left us and for those of you who don't know me personally might not know how many friends I lost this year alone. Almost each passing was a sudden one that there were no goodbyes.
While I mourn silently, at the same time I tell myself to stop depriving myself of life. Stop denying myself to real fun. Start living again. Go away if you think fun is all about having a bottle in my hand 24/7, hitting the clubs every single night. Only to discover my life is over when I wake up with the worst hangover, right next to the worlds ugliest man with vomit like breath and wrinkles on my butt.
You see Lyn, I suck at writing a proper blog post. Ha ha!
Things are slowly taking shape. Life never looked better.

Where to now? Around the world baby :)
Now that I am back to work, uncertainties still hangs over my head. Or shoulder, that I keep looking back wondering whether or not I made the right decision. If I were a cartoon character I am those that walks with a "?" sign instead of that bright yellow light bulb. Years ago though I had the exclamation mark. I didn't exactly know what I wanted to do but very much open to whatever that comes my way. Being young somehow also means being invisible. You keep moving into any directions, not stopping for a minute to look left or right.
Now that I am past that age and closing on to another big one, I wish I had the same enthusiasm when I was younger but better.
I don't want to just survive but to live.
I don't want to just live it day to day but looking forward to the years to come and smile.
I have my worries still but the future have yet to reveal my path so I'll have to walk that way to really find out.
I refuse to let myself be judged by others over MY decisions.
The past couple of weeks have been nothing less than stressful but remarkable. A strange new word that I would never thought used to describe my life but will from now on. Remarkable because I made it. Remarkable because I still want to go on moving forward instead of sulking.
I do have bagful of ideas waiting to be executed. The time is here but resource is limited. Help are abundance but not quite the one I am hoping for.
Between living and surviving, which will you choose?
The world is round, we shouldn't worry about falling off the edge. Get up and get going.
Heck, I don't know why I have a sudden vision that the world is really a discoball.

Elephant feet and all
Time check: 6.40AM - Sunday.
I'm up this early because I need to go to work. Yep, I'm back to work for now. I do have a problem though, living alone with every one of my friends busy (sleeping, family day, away on travels) I am left with a swollen left foot the size of an elephant. I can't walk without holding back painful tears. I kid you not. So moving itself is out of the question what more driving a stick. Its only the third day. Only?? It feels like forever already when you're very much like Tigger and DUSH! you are now Eyore. If not, a nudiebranch.
How?
My second day at work(Friday) was spent in the Marine Ecology Research Center (MERC). I miss the giant clams and all the cool fellas like the stone fish, moray eel, Momoi the hawksbill turtle, Bobet the Green turtle and of course the nurse shark. I missed them so much I gave them a thumping surprise when I slipped and fell into the nature pool. Sprained my left foot, cuts on my right and some other swelling I discovered last night and best part, my whole body aches more than it did on the first day. Great huh? If the swelling doesn't go by tomorrow, I'm doomed. I will need to go in to work no matter what cos being absent from work after three working days is not something anyone would favor especially when you're in need-money-phase. Suckball.
Since my last posting so much happened that it feels like a lifetime was cramped into a week of my life. I moved out, got a place within 12hrs, got my car back, started work the very next day and voila, wi-fi too. Yea, I'm still wondering what happened to taking life as it comes which to me sounds like a slow moving life but instead it went by so quick, I don't know where I'll be in months time.
Anyways, the little space I have now is more liberating than the previous. I am happy and nicely nestled. :)
Will post more soon. Til then, happy sunday!
