Funny. It occurred to me that not many of my closest friends are married or involved.  

Long term Vancouver weather forecast is and more(can someone please tell me why people want to live in Vancouver? )

I am in a withdrawal right now because of this. Rain just sucks out of any good time I had in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.  I miss the sun, the locals, the beaches, and the adventures.

These days, I long for traveling aboard and exploring different cultures, instead of just working at a job that I find unrewarding. I forsee myself quitting my job and traveling around the world some times in 2007.

I can't believe this. Just a week ago today, I was sipping rum and baking under 30 degree sun. Today, I had to wear my tuque, endured pouring rain and cursed at every single bad Vancouver driver. It sure gets my blood boiling!

Anyhew, enough of sulking. I had a blast. I fully enjoyed my annual stress-relieving vacation, and charm and warmth of Dominican people sure did not disappoint me:

 2 hour catamaran ride to Savona Island, a typical virgin Caribbean island. We had BBQ on the beach and more rum.

Look how blue the water is. Vancouver has what? Smelly Furry Creek?

This was where I swam with the sharks and sting rays. No, serious. I really did swim with the sharks and sting rays. Crazy eh? The night before the trip, I could not sleep. I was so scared. Just moment before I had to enter the water, I almost pee'd in my shorts.  No pictures to share right now as I have to develop the film from my underwater camera.

This was the aftermath, getting first aid on a shark bite. Nah, I accidently kicked a coral reef after a shark came within 6 feet of me. I was bleeding. I seriously thought I was going to die. Blood +  Shark = Jaw movie. Funny, I don't have much luck with water. I almost drown in Greece. I almost got swallowed by the wave in Cancun. And now this.

Me posing with a starfish, in a middle of the caribbea sea. That was a very strange natural phenamenon. Out of nowhere, the sea was only 6 inches deep. The locals call it a "Natural Pool".

I have been quite lethargic lately. Perhaps, "lethargic" is not the right word to describe my life the past few months.  Hmmm... There were many meaningful and enjoyeable changes like moving back, settling into a new job and lots of golfing / playing hockey. However, I feel like I am trapped and wanna get out. It is like, what do I need to do to move forward? Strange eh? Ok, enough of me trying to be insightful. Let me just vent and let it all out

Stop giving me this farking silent treatment because your baby son is going on a vacation for a week. What am I, 5?

You are mad at me because I did not ask your permission if I can go away? Give me a break. I have gone to places before without your approvals. This is not the first time. Have I ever disappointed you? I called you every time just out of respect and left with details you could reach me in case of emergency.

So what I am spending money again? It's not like I have an extravagant life, and I work my as* off this past year to get to where I am in my career. I need a break. Work is stress. Life is stress. Having family pressure is stress. So this is how I pamper myself for have handled the stress well.

Or are you feeling upset because I am not taking you guys? Cut me some slacks would ya? I was willing to offer to pay for your trips, wasn't I, but you are so concerned about spending the money. Plus, we are spending time together as a family in LV in December anyway.

Ya, I am going with her. So what is the big deal. No, I did not pay for her trip. This is split equally right in the middle. I know where you are going, but that is totally an unrelated topic, which we will discuss later.

I seriously don't see why you are making such a big fuss over this because there is no reason to be upset or worried. With all due respect, I want to live the life I want. I seriously don't want to be sheltered.

FARK!!! Another one of those times where I don't know how to answer about commitment or future.  I seriously don't know!!!

I am so emotionally immature
