Diamonds Are Forever

Holiday, come fast.

I just cannot wait to get my exam done and my survey camp done. And just be on holiday. You know what I wanna do? I wanna cook, bake, get busy in the kitchen. Work out. Eat good food, go out for a walk, go out for some coffee and have yummy dessert. I wanna spoil myself. I wanna travel. I don’t wanna shop like crazy but instead, I wanna travel like crazy. I wanna go to a lot of places, and do a lot of things the old me would never thought of doing. I wanna think outside my box. I wanna challenge myself, I wanna challenge my fear. I wanna swim inside a pool of balloons (I have phobia of balloons, they’re evil). Okay maybe I don’t wanna swim inside a pool filled with balloons but you get my point. I just wanna fly and explore. I want to appreciate life more.

Travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.
