Short post-mortem of my experience in Bali. First two days was kind of sluggish for me especially since it was that time of the month. The weather exacerbated it further. Thank goodness for the good accommodation, especially the toilet, albeit the faulty aircon in the morning but I could still sleep nevertheless. The mood started picking up on the 2nd night I felt, after catching the sunset and fire dance and waking up early next morning all excited for water rafting. I just enjoy new activities in general. To be honest Kuta was like ECP + Holland Village except that the waves are better and the food cheaper. What made the whole trip great was definitely the company I had. These guys were full of shit, literally as well, and we had a lot of unforgettable moments especially while rafting. I’m still hoping for my version of Eat Pray Love there (lol). Next year probably?
I’m already thinking of trips for next year actually. I absolutely adore Thailand. It feels very homely. Many a times the locals think that I’m one of them but even if you’re not they treat you with great respect and hospitality. Shortlisted a few places: Chiang Rai, Cebu, Da Nang and might even consider Gunung Datuk as recommended by a friend. We’ll see.
That aside, I’ve been thinking a lot about the self lately. How I’ve fared not only as a person per se but in the many roles I have. The most pertinent being the daughter. Probably there are some truths in my mom’s words but I really beg to differ for most of it. Our world views are such a contrast I really do not know how to reconcile those differences at times.
Thinking about my resolution last year, I’ve fared the worse the one area namely vulgarities. I’ve seen an exponential increase in the usage over the past few months it’s so unbecoming although no one have actually told me off yet but I just feel that way or maybe I’m over thinking. I hope I don’t blurt it out in the office though for I know the tolerance level can be rather low.
There’s so much to look forward to next year I feel.
I just hope not to lose myself in midst of it all.
