Operation Cast Lead

2009

It's another new old year. I don't know how happy it is going to be considering the senseless politically induced war, the damned economic predicament, the unpredictable human-caused and natural catastropes and the never-endingness of it all.

So, a happy new year? Events around us will go on in its course and so must living. I say let it become a joyous one to rejoice and satisfy one's desire.

Wars and differences will rage on with the inhumanely harsh exchanges of money and power. Human nature and mother nature inevitably bond us and rip us apart.

Whatever it is, I guess my little philosophy is try not to get too entangled in it. Smile and always be true to yourself no matter what the circumstances are.

2008 was a year to whiter smile back at..

- 9 countries in a year (6 ventured almost alone)
- 4.5 and above evaluations
- advance diver license
- from a house to a home
- 1-year extended contract to more possibilities

and of course, extremely intoxicated days and nights..

and more to come...

the other continent

Champagne. Caviar. Foie Gras. Coke.
That's how I'll remember Paris.

The first impression, the first night will always

remain the most endearing.

~merci beaucoup

Beautiful Barcelona...

Antonio Gaudi is a genius way before his time.

Absinthe contains 79% of alcohol...
