what eversdisclaimer: I have diarreah of the brain...speaking my mind... Lately been working mad crazy. If ya'll have read from my freakin facebook, after coming back from mini trip, i've been swamped with work. To top it off, after working a long day....*yes i do work* i got a flat tire. yea, it was 750pm when i got to the garage to see a nice present. oh well...at least i was prepared and changed the tire in 15min flat.... oh well. I'm starting to get tired of people around me asking me: Chuong..when is it your turn?!? Uh, when are you planing to get .... or...when are you going to meet a "nice" girl!?? to me, what evers. I'm really sick and tired of people trying to hook me up. "Chuong....i have a nice "friend"....or Chuong...."co nguoi ban muon de thieu cho em".. blah... Even my planned trip to VN this November, i have a list lined up. "Others" are under the impression the reason i travel back to VN so often is because i'm hooking up ... or have "relationship(s)" over there. Well...i do have relationships....professional...networking..and business. Thats my interest and only my interest at the current mind set. It'll be a fun trip regardless. Just got to go back to the basics and make me happy: The simplest pleasures in life. so yea...it'll be great this weekend..hiking...biking...camping with the troop again. Tr. Chuong. Its been ages since i've been back with the troop. Back to my happiness. With Mother Nature. Speaking of which, my annual self-camping trip is due soon. This is a camping trip which I do myself. On a random weekend....right afterwork on friday..i'd drive home from work...instead of driving home...i'd drive up to the mountains....and camp. Its the time for me to just pitch a tent...be one with myself.. It allows me to re-analyze my situation, see what i've accomplished (or not) the past year, and whats in store for me for the next year....some Chuong Time. Define what I want...and go after it. Also its a time for me to rethink of how i can better myself. Its been working the past couple of years. :) I'm still a nonsmoker...going strong. Of course, there are still other stuff i'd like to cut back and change... baby steps....baby steps.. yea...a very good friend..well....consider them family...said i changed..i'll take that as a compliment... Change? Have I? better or worse? time will tell.. I've been traveling a lot... Why? i guess to get away. To find myself...to understand what the hell it is that i want. Also to understand and be close to my friends and family while they are still healthy. Heathly in a sense that its priceless. we take too many things for granted and push/postpone doing things due to BS reasons...for me, F IT, if i like it..i'll do it. Why play games? or why even defer? it'll only delay reality. Lately i've been able to get back in touch with myself. To be able to release the past emotions. To let go and just say F it and be free. no more shields around myself....no more constraints.. a whole lot of weights off my shoulders. my self esteem ...well...others should understand...its not that low... actually..its very high and lots of people don't see that...unless you know know me very well... heheh so i've managed to shit out my thoughts....random shit...but what evers..its my log....i've worked a long day....and this is comforting..to just write what ever the heck it is thats on my mind.... enjoying a nice bottle *or two* cabernet to unwind.... :D YAY for FRIDAYS....double YAY for the WEEKEND and camping! oh...a pic of Mr. Red and I!! 
too lazy to rotate the picture. Its us enjoying the bestest Hogfish sandwhich in the Keys :D We were both pleased.... DELICIOUS!! |
