2 FRIGGIN MONTHS BABY

Hello everyone!! WELL on july 1st i was here for 2 whole months WOW CAN you believe it?? cause i cant.. honestly the first week i got here i thought i would be gone in a month but i am so happy i have stuck it out!! and im sure after another couple months it will be like i dont want to leave ( well maybe i wont go that far) haha this weekend has been pretty mellow just enjoying being here shopping alittle at the markets! I FEEL like my plans for traveling change daily hahah and the lenght of time that im staying changes all the time to RIGHT NOW i know for sure that i will be def staying untill november because of my ticket will i stay much longer after that?? i am not sure !! but i know i am doing this for me AND NOT ANYONE ELSE and im being extremly selfish because its all about me i cant worry about letting people down or not sticking my contract out because i have to do whats best for me! yeah anyways i dont have much to say today nothing to exciting is happening yet just pumped about getting my scuba certificate and im doing lots of investageting on flying to all these countries that i want to see, i have realized i prb wont come home with alot of money because of all the sight seeing i wanna do but hey i have my whole life to make money, and i have this once to explore the east free with out anyone telling me when i have to leave or without me having any commintments back home so i am taking full advantage of it :D love you all!!

hahah ooh before i forget, so you know how theres those machines that you put money in and thers like a claw that you try and get a teddy bear or w.e with AHAHAH well they are everywhere here, and its funny because theres like porn videos dildos, vibraters right in WITH THE TEDDY BEARS!!!!!!! Porn videos can be bought everywhere and think of like a store like save on foods where anyone can go into, on isle having pots and pans and then the next isle having dildos hahaha !!!!!!!!!!!!! its kinda gross kinda funny love you all

life goes on

So its not as if i expect everyone to stay the same, or sit back and do nothing while im over here..its just kinda hard sometimes thinking the life is going on everyone is moving on doing new things etc and im not apart of it.. maybe part of me thought all my family would sit at home wait for me to come back as stupid as that sounds!! i dont know its almost as if im trying to stay connected to the life back at home, something that i dont feel apart of anymore:(.. and then trying to start a new one here that no one at home could even begin to relate to so today im struggling with that a bit!! im really proud of myself tho im running everyday,, theres a track like a mentioned before right by our apartment haha and it even has bats that at around 6ish they start to come out... BEFORE I FORGET mom thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR THE CARE PACKAGE When i talked to you on the phone i never thanked you!!! all the things were great!!!!!!! i think i might be a size 11 now which is cool because the pants you sent me are to big hahah i dont mind tho!! i have been finding alot of clothing shops that have all kinds of sizes because there are heavy people here lol ! its getting hotter by the day which is good/bad YEAH FOR NO BRAS lol.. i have started to have a bit of road rage hahah its very funny actually because someone will cut me off or whatever and ill YELL IM A FRIGGIN FORIENGER YOU CANT DO THAT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE LIKE THAT BLUHBLUHBLuh and they turn with a big grin on there face and nod there head a couple times as if i liked him doing that haha they obviously dont understand what iam saying which is honestly kinda nice!! i could be telling themoff but as long as i have a smile on my face they love it hahah anyways IM FEELING BETTER!!! my flu from hell seems to be going away and hopefully i wont get another one for a while fingers crossed... LOVE YOU ALL... ps Keep me posted on the baby situation Giselle.... and i hope all is going well with you hows landon doing anyways ?? ttyl

IM IN FRIGIN TAIWAN

Hey evryone, sorry i have not been writting as often, i just really have been soaking up being here and really coming to the realization that im doing this!! i set this huge goal, and im doing it im living it!! its so incredible i dont know i wish you guys were here to experience this!! people say its life changing and they are so right! i am really seeing what i am made of, i have finally found my voice, and as strange as it seems i feel like i have never been more true to who i am then right now being here!! You know some days its just so hard and you wish you could go somewhere and not be noticed, just escape!! and you drag your butt all day and then on the way home your driving your scooter and you see mountains right in front of you with the clouds starting to roll in, and on the left you see what seems like miles and miles of rice patties that are actually very beautiful when there all green, and on your right you see palm trees agaisnt a pink/blue sky and it almost takes your breathe away and you think how lucky am i ?? and usually that feeling lasts about 5 mins before a BIG HUGE bug smacks you in the chest and when i say big i mean LITTERALLY THE WIDTH OF THREE FINGERS AND THE LENGHT OF YOUR PINKY!!! Yeah after that the feeling goes away hahah but you have to take in the bad if you want to take in the good!! I was talking to my mom the other night and telling her this was the best/hardest/scariest/unexpected/amazing jorney that i am on!! ahhh lol anyways im doing really good we have found some really good places to eat and there hot pots mmmmm soo good and healthy and we are running into more english teachers as time passes,theres a track right by my apartment and we found the movie theater and theres two swimming pools! my traveling plans might change a bit in the next littler while just because of graduation with out students i migth not beable to get the time off !! but anyways i love you all soooooo much honestly thank you so much for your support!! and ill leave you with the song lyrics to one of the songs i feel best describes me right now


Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her
is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her
feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner
like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer
when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a wire

Suddenly I see

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes
looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel
like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see
