Hie Guys ,

Sorry for the lack of updates ! I have been rather busy the past month settling a lot of stuff besides being bitten by an emotional slump . If I were to recollect the year 2009 of what it has been so far , I would quite daringly say that it has been an emotional rollercoaster from the start to the middle . At 23 , you’d think that I’ve gotten old enough to get a grip and differentiate between logic and emotions .. Hoah . Anyway , hey ? , what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger .

At the time I’m typing this , I’m actually situated at a Villa somewhere North in Egypt . It’s by the seaside and it’s simply beautiful . I’m here for part of my middle east tour . Due to legal technicalities, I don’t think I’m allowed to mention the company sponsoring me though .

Apart from getting arrested by Egyptian police , cruising down in a HUMMER H2 , staying in a Villa that looks like an orchard , speaking mediocre French to beautiful Egyptian girl , and riding a Segway on the villa’s compound , I’m enjoying my life quite well . Work is fun , the pay is great , and most importantly , I’m learning a lot from my trip . The people here are very friendly , and I’ve made many friends along the way .

Besides that , I also have lots of free time here by the beach , and I have been reflecting on my life lately . It’s already pass half way through of the year 2009 . I’m getting older on each passing day and I’ve set really high goals not too far away from now . It’s scary , but I’m sure I’ll achieve them . =) I’ve been writing down and coming up with plans , ideas , and solid decisions to supplement my goals . Pray for me , wish me luck .. I really do need all the encouragement and positive energy that I can get .

I’ll be back from the middle east in September ! I miss you guys .
