Anyone else but you...

Shiny & New

It’s a brand new blog, and a brand new year. 2008 was an amazing and defining year for lil’ Pat. Having just moved back to Australia from Seoul with the hope of settling back into the laid back life, a quick three weeks was all it took before I started thinking of moving again. There was little appeal in living in Australia without any family, without a home, with nothing but that one suitcase. So off I went to Dubai, to be closer to my sister, to travel like a maniac, and to continue living this expat life I have grown up with. This job as Cabin Crew is nothing like I imagined it to be. At the three month mark I had a masterplan to leave immediately. The phase quickly passed, and I have come to enjoy the job for all the perks it has to offer. An quick escape, discount travel, a fun lifestyle, meeting new people every single day! It is AMAZING, and I’m very grateful for this opportunity to see the world like noone has.

2009 has quickly shown it’s face, so come hither, I’m ready to rock you o9! I plan to:

- Scuba dive more
- Learn (and continue) to surf
- Study masters
- Take initiative at all times!
- Finally take that trip to Tibet/Mongolia…. my dream trip!
- Exercise more outdoors, as opposed to an indoor gym.
- Join a team sport, and excel at it!
- I will look back on this blog in the next year, and hopefully I will have stuck by my word. I usually do!

Signing out 2008!

I don't want to be sceptical of love....
I believe one day I will find my brown hair brown eyed funny outdoors man.

COLOURS

He told me so...!

I recently bumped into a friend of mine at my local gym. We meet only every so often, so our conversations are nothing more than a friendly 1o minute chat. During one of our treadmill chats we talked briefly about things new in our lives. I thought it would be friendly to share that my ex of a fruitful 3 month relationship shared the same nationality as her. Her response was very quick and very definite. She explained how this very young man who was a passenger on her flight shared with her the problems we had as a couple. I was taken aback and a bit disgusted by the fact that strangers to him are now learning of something that is ultimately none of their business! I'm disappointed at the fact that he is disrespecting what we had. I have the utmost respect for anyone I ever had a relationship with, and cherish all the memories we shared and would never speak of them to other people in a way that would bring them down. There is not much I can do now, but live with some hurt and shake my head at his actions. Respect Privacy People!

Bird in a Cage

For the longest time I have been detached from my emotions. I haven't taken that step back to reflect on the bigger picture. I feel like I have been a bird flying high and free ready to take on the skies... though seemingly unable to fly out of a 10m radius. I had much more distance to explore..... but never let my wings venture into the unknown. I desperately need to break free of the invisible barrier, and let my heart set free!
