I am Thompson Boy

Perhaps. Who knows? But I will find out soon next week. Can't wait actually. Time to put BBDO Guerrero multiple award winning campaign for their DOT which features the Duck Sauce song to a test. Here's a rundown: Day 1  Flight at LCCT - 1055 Arrive in Manila - 1435 Hotel and check in - 15.35 Quick Lunch No plans here or maybe SM Mall of Asia Manila Met Museum Dinner Day 2  Rizal Park Intramurous Back to hotel Manila Baywalk Dinner Day 3  Chinatown Greenbelt and shopping area Ayala Musuem Day 4 Flight at NA Airport 0645 Reach Malaysia 1025  For sure no chance to meet any hot Pinoy (like June Macaset) since I am with a friend. Oh well...

I have just signed up with BootsnAll for a 30day program exercise and day 2 is about the whys I want to see the world before I am old.  Because I would regret it on my death bed if I didn't (this was my original why - it has changed).  I just got fired/divorced/graduated/quit, and the time is now to embrace change. I'm not sure what I want to do, and I feel uninspired in my current life. Long-term travel may help open and challenge my assumptions of what is possible. I want to learn about a specific part of the world, and going there is the best way. Because I can! I want to see the 7 wonders of the world. I want to taste and visit the 7 best wine regions in the world. I want to learn via experience (see, smell, hear, touch) not just reading or watching youtube videos.  Me (and my partner) are middle-aged and lots of the encumberances and commitments of life are gone (kids, mortgages etc). Instead of buying an RV, we want to se...

So post shopping for the RTW trip, here are the damages. Preparing for RTW in Malaysia is not easy and there's not alot of choices and the prices are MAD. I gotten all the below from Midvalley courtesy of sale from World of Outdoors and also Tearproof except for the messenger bag. Deuter Messenger bag - RM310, fly all the way from New Zealand. Pacsafe Backpack Protector - was RM480, now RM280. Sure cheaper to buy from US but there's always the issue of shipping. To be honest, the smaller 50L version was very cheaper, way cheaper than US after sale but it cant fit my backpack. I need to get a couple more stuff from them later but this is a big article so am glad that I have gotten it. Deuter Washbag - was RM100, now RM80. To be honest, it was abit pricey BUT since there will be alot of upcoming trips before the actual RTW, the earlier I purchase this, the more mileage I can get with something proper and hopefully durable Columbia Raincoat - was RM249, now RM180. Again not ...

Oh good grief, no updates because it has been craaaaaazeeeeey for the past few weeks. It doesn't help when things are getting from worst to worster and worstest, I mean, I nearly wanted to quit this bitch of the job because this agency is going downhill. I mean where got people do so many pitches back to back like that and overstretch the manpower? Rubbish targets! Anyhoo... I have to deal with some shits here and there - I am really torn and busy researching, deciding on many things for next year RTW trip. So many things to consider and plan. You would think that holiday is easy - it's really work. Shit to think about: Packing and clothes - no more fashion victim here, everything needs to be practical. Granted in the photos, I would look like a straight man but is that the worst that can happen to me? I don't think so. Clothes that doesn't dry quick enough and smell is more important. Bags - not too bad but trying to find the cheapest deal for day bag Insurance...

Long weekend break, I was looking at some of the photos from my past travel and one set came from England. It's been awhile. Gets me more excited everytime I look at them. There might not be a ticket to Heathrow as yet but LAX is in the making. Meanwhile back to life and back to reality once more to toil for the monies that will support a dream. Can't wait for the day I can go, fuck this shit goodbye!

Life is messy right now with work and everything being shitty. What do you do? Run to your man and play with him? That would be nice if you have one. But even that also I am too tired to be bothered. I just want to go away.
