Day 1 - Lost in Transit!

It was Monday 31 of may, and i just arrived in Darwin from Melbourne, I'm in transit, about to get my boarding pass to my Jetstar flight to Vietnam.

When I handed my passport to the check in counter, the Jetstar girl looked at me funny and said, "is this the only Vietnam visa you have?"

I looked very surprised and said yes, but asked why?

"Well, your VISA is from 1 June to 1st of July, today is 31st of May, I can't let you board the flight to Vietnam..."

In my mind, i was like Ohh... F*(&#!

"...oh really... what are my options??"

"well, you can change your flight until tomorrow, same time?"

Great, so here i am stuck in Darwin for like 24 hours at the airport! what the hell am i suppose to do? sleep in the terminal chairs??

Do you lose your edge when the stakes are higher when dating?

Had chat with a friend of mine, over a nice bear, and towards the end of the meeting, he said to me:

"I gotta tell you about this chic I am after. I've been studying with her for while, and I think I really like her. I tried to tell her about my feelings one day by invited her out to come out sailing with me, she declined cause she's busy. But I already know she's busy, I just wanted to give a hint to her that I like her"...

Now, usually, this guy is very successful with women at clubs and bars. and his very direct with women, and it works for him, but this is with girl he just meet.

When he does meet a girl he really likes, the stakes are higher, but ironically, by playing it safe, he probably lowered his chances of success.

So the question is, just because you really like someone, and the stakes are higher, should you change the way you date her compared to your usually aggressive, direct way?

I don't think so...just because you like someone, you shouldn't change the way you pick them up, especially when it works for you.

3 Days before leaving for Vietnam!

Only 3 Sleeps to go!

I am really not that excited, not yet. Maybe I will when I land, and arrive at the Night Clubs in Saigon.

Went to the doctor today to check if I needed any vaccinations, The doc recommended one, said it's gonna protect me from getting food poisoning, but it's gonna cost like $80. So i'm like, screw that! I think i'm gonna take my chances.

Unless there is something that's gonna kill me, i don't think i need a vaccine for it.

So check list so far:

Visa (Check)

one-way ticket (Check)

3 nights hotel (Check)

Carry on Baggage (Check)

And that't all folk, I like to keep it simple.

I am planning to google stuff to do when I arrive. I believe its better to plan while on the move, makes it more Spontaneous!

Your mind can make you a slave.

I just received a call from a close friend, and she told me she was a little stressed out about her application. I told her not to think too much of it because thing too much about it cannot improve her odds of success with the application.

She said maybe it could, because she told me that should COULD be doing something about it.

Maybe so, but the general guideline from what I learnt from Eckhart Tolle's Books, is that your mind can make you a slave.

Your mind can think a lot about the future. It will try to think about all the possibilities of what will happen about the future. Well, this does't really help you except give you more stress.

Alot of people don't know what to do about this stress, they can be a slave to their mind, because their mind is creating this unnecessary stress.

You are the master of your mind, and your mind is only a tool for you. You can stop your mind from creating stress by becoming aware of is desire to think, and think and try to put you in the future.

As you can't do anything about the future, you could feel a little helpless.

As Eckhart has always said, you should become aware of "now" instead of thinking too much about the future.

3 Weeks before leaving to Vietnam!

It 3 weeks to my trip to Vietnam and all I have is a VISA and a one way ticket!

But I am missing a few things like:

- Travel Insurance (Which I get for free due to my Gold Master Card!)
- Accommodation
- Itinerary

Hmm... Doesn't seem like that much, but the idea is getting cheap Accommodation for a month. I am defiantly not paying $50 a night at a 3 star hotel, I will try to find an apartment for $400 for the month!

How can I do this? Good question, let me do some research first!
