Cancun !




I must say, I’ve been using my time efficiently this past week- researching and booking for things to do for Cancun! I’m proud to say that everything (well almost everything) is book for our 6-day trip to Cancun next week.  =) We will be staying in two hotels. Why?  Since we will be doing things/tours during the first four days, we decided to stay at a regular hotel in the hotel zone. Then we got ourselves an all-inclusive hotel in the hotel zone for the last two days, because we will be chilling at the beach most of the time. Yes, it’s a little costly, but it’s well worth it. Beside life is short, and there’s nothing wrong if we spurge a little on vacation.

Finally, one last thing, I’m going to kill the next person who warms me about Mexico being a  dangerous place, and why I need to cancel my trip. Yes, I know about the Mexican cartels and certain things I should avoid. After all, I’m not as naïve as I look.  It’s not like I’m going there alone or driving around the US/Mexican Borders. Even though I wanted to rent a car in Mexico, to make things easier, the liability is not worth it. We might not be able to visit and do everything we want, but I think we will have fun regardless. I’m so ready to go on this trip!  Ok, I still need to pack and the idea of going somewhere hot and humid doesn’t excite me to do so. Then again, I should do it soon- avoiding last minute packing and forgetting things I need.

Ps.  =) I’m not sure why I love travel books so much! I can literally sit in a bookstore for hours reading all sorts of traveling books.  If I have my own place, I’ll definitely have two bookshelves- one for travel & cookbooks, and another for all my novels.

You're a Graduate and No Job - Now What?


 
It’s been nearly a monthly since graduation and I’ve not done much since. The odd thing is that I’ve been busy with school the past year that I no longer know what to do with my life at the moment? Is there such thing as a post-graduation blues? Is this normal for all graduates? Or perhaps I’m just making things up again? Seriously, I’ve literally did nothing valuable with my life since, it is as though my mind and body has completely shut down- went on vacation without me. It’s not like I don’t want a job. In fact, I’ve been looking for a job for the past week but nothing seems promising. Then again I haven’t turned on the pc much the past month.  To make things worse, I've been avoiding my phone for the past few weeks-by leaving it in the car.

Furthermore, I wonder if I am panicking about life right now? It seem as though everyone is doing their own thing and I’m just stuck doing nothing. Then again, if I’m panicking about life- why am I nervous, scare and excited at the same time about the future? My mind keeps wondering if I will be able to find a decent job that pays ok? Will I find, no not find, will I meet that special someone soon?  Will I lose that extra 30 pounds I’ve gain the past few year? Will I make enough money to put a down payment on my own place? Will I be able to change myself? Will I be more outgoing?  Will…. .... .....      Well, I guess we will see…
