Adventures...

I haven't posted in awhile so let me bring you up to speed...

* I booked my Christmas flight to Jakarta, Indonesia. I plan to work my way down to Bali for New Years. Soooo excited. Hoping to visit Yogyakarta and maybe one more stop one the way down, but who knows.

* Tomorrow I leave for Malaysia Borneo where I am going to hike Mt. Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia! The last couple days of the trip will be spent in Kuching where I will indulge in some much needed beach time. Stay tuned for pictures!

* I am trying to take advantage of most of the entertainment that comes to Macau or Hong Kong. Chris Brown is coming to Macau in November so some of us are going to see him, cannot wait!!

* In other news: I found a hair stylist which is so wonderful (well, Cassie did!), I also discovered that the 'import' grocery store sells Happy Planet juice (fresh from Vancouver) so that makes me happy, I have given in and am reading the Stephanie Meyer 'twilight' series which is turning out better than expected, the half-marathon training is going really well (6-week countdown), AND I am loving surfthechannel.com for providing me with the newest Grey's Anatomy episodes (for free!).

Life is sweet, no complaints!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello!!

October 12th... big shout out to Miss Sarah Kelman who is celebrating a birthday today!! Happy birthday Sarah!!!

Also a happy belated birthday to my Dad as he celebrated his birthday on October 8th. Happy birthday Dad, it was great to talk to you!!! :)

Thanksgiving is always a time to reflect on the important things in life and I am definitely feeling an overwhelming sense of being grateful, thankful and happy etc. all at once. I have had a few months to reflect on all of my experiences from last year and I do see that everything was necessary in order for me to be sitting here today. Things do happen for a reason and thoughts do become things. The law of attraction has an enormous power on us so in saying that it is always good to check-in to ensure that what is being attracted is really what you want most. I do feel as though I am living a completely different life here in Macau, but it is so much more positive and productive in every sense. I feel as though I am exactly where I need to be right now and I just hope the same for YOU.

Above all, I am so thankful to have wonderful people in my life who make the effort to keep in touch, even if it is in small ways, it still matters! My endless efforts of becoming a better long-distance friend are somewhat paying off, but I know I need to try harder. So, thanks to all of you for being you! :)
