walked into my room this afternoon and saw a half naked old white man who smelled like he hasn’t showered in weeks. this displeased all my senses.
enough was enough. so, i went down to the front desk and booked into a single room all for moi. it is afterall, xmas eve. and i am afterall, a career woman who is starting to feel too old to be doing the hostel sharing a dorm room thing.
anyway,its the first xmas eve to be spent by myself. and i mean by myself. i’m currently parked in front of the computer, using the hostel’s free internet cuz there is nothing better to do.
tomorrow xmas day, means maybe going to an island and hanging out with a dweeby english guy whom i met in sukau. oh holiday joy!
don’t get me wrong. borneo has been fun. not rock my world fun. but nature channel fun.
in sukau==> i saw animals galore. orangautans, check. probiscus monkey, check. hornbill, check. monitor lizard, and on and on and on….check.check.check.
in sipadan ==> one of the world’s top diving sites and not without acclaim. giant sea turtles, school of big-eyed trevellis. no sea urchin in my foot this time. but plenty of sea lice bites.i look like i have measles all over where my wet suit didn’t cover my skin. i am grossed out by myself. maybe that’s why i’m without any fun companions on xmas eve haha. but hey, i’m cool. i went diving. i’m a special person just like padi says.
i’m hoping when i go home, my trip in borneo will seem more exciting and memorable then it currently feels. i think i’ve hit a point where i’m thinking, you know having some gfs or a boytoy by my side to share, “hey kota kinabalu is boring”……..would be a good thing.
in any case, emily and two other girls will be meeting me for four nights and five days of debauchery and golden tans in bali.
so i can’t complain. life is warm. 2006 was good to me.
happy holidays, everyone. may peace be with you.
