Pre- Miami Trip

So! I thought I was going to blog about my everyday life at the time when I signed up for this, but it sort of just never happened. Well, it is never too late to start…
The big news for the week is *drumming….* I am going on my very first vacation since graduating from university!!*TA-DA!* I am super excited! It is going to be a 7-day trip, May 24-30, to Miami including the 4-day Bahamas Cruise. Alice, Sarah and Lynne are going with me. Even though I don’t know them that well yet, but I am sure we are going to have a blast!! All the beaches, clubs, and FOOD!! Before I get too excited about the actual trip, there is a lot of things that need to be taken care of prior departure! The first thing is booking the flights and accommodations. Three weeks ago, I found the deal to be around $650 in total flying from Buffalo; so I had been asking around for people to see if anyone was interested in going. Luckily I got Alice and Sarah confirmed to come pretty quickly, and Alice even invited her co-worker to join and made this trip possible. All of us were pretty excited about the trip and were ready to book; but then when I went back online again and check the package, the flight from Buffalo to Miami increased by $100 per person! That was pretty much the same flying from Toronto to Miami. Moreover, I found out that the hotel I originally was looking at actually located distance from the busy southern district! So for the past two weeks, I have been checking out flight prices literally every hour, and reading hotel reviews everyday! I could almost memorize the details about half of the hotels locating on Miami Beach! But nothing was really feasible for us. At last, I decided just book the flight tickets from Toronto to Miami at $100 more than expected, and book a hotel with decent review at a location about 15 min drive away from the south beach. The total became $850! Though the girls weren’t so pleased when they saw the price going up, but they were all supportive and still in for the trip! At least the bookings were all done! But the story doesn’t end here. Two days later, I went back online and check for the flight price (it has become a habit after two weeks of ‘training’), the flight from Buffalo to Miami has dropped $90!!!!!!!!! I was like… wtf!! *sigh* I guess life IS tough! Anyhow! At least right now we don’t have to travel to Buffalo back and forth, and we get a better hotel… that is probably the only way I can comfort myself now. After getting piiiiissedoff at this flight price fluctuation thing for a couple days, I am back to normal, and still excited about my trip in May. It will be the first time I go on a Cruise, and I think there is going to be like UNLIMITED food and entertainment!! Have been looking at many tourist sites about Miami, creating a detailed itinerary, and trying to LOSE WEIGHT! Oh man, the third item is going to be a completely new 10-page story!! To be continued...

a fresh start?! 忙裡偷閒的我

a fresh start?!
今天不知道怎麼了.跑去重新看了自己的愛情國小日記.msn space.xuite影音等等...發現自己的過去再很多地方零零落落的留下腳印~ 現在還多了一個facebook的東西... 原本想說重新開一個blog來把以前的東西全部聚集起來...可是後來想想算了...過去就讓他過去吧... 讓我自己在踏入社會後有個新的開始~
自從大學畢業開始工作後.一連串的改變令我自己的都有點吃不消.從思想上.價值觀上.愛情觀上.目標上.生活作息上都有很大很大的改變.一度令我陷入低潮.發現自己成長了許多.也不再年輕了.社會的壓力以及每天戰戰兢兢的學習令我每天活在忙過一天是一天的環境中.自己的命運就會如此忙忙碌碌的平凡的過一生嗎?
從五月一畢業後就開始工作到現在.我真的需要一個vacation或是找出自己的熱情.
而且越來越看清楚自己的弱點.缺點.希望可以不時的提醒自己或是找出改變的方法.
每天被柴米油鹽醋的問題困擾著.對自己的期望困惑著.對於戀愛的憧憬也漸漸淡到快要遺忘了什麼叫做心中的悸動.身邊的朋友更是少之又少.要做的事情卻是多又多...
寫blog也可以再次訓練自己的文筆之外.還可以讓自己的腦筋多動動...
雖然沒有甜蜜愛情的故事可以分享, 也沒有峰迴路轉的drama and gossip,也許靈感無法如湧泉般的滾滾而來.可以希望可以再次discover自己感性的那一面...
