Bungee Jumping in Macau!

Sooo remember when I said I would bungee jump off the Macau tower? Well…I did it! 

and 

I didn’t die or crap my pants…the people at AJ Hackett are seriously amazing. The jump was expensive but very much worth it. They made jokes and reassured me if I cried I wouldn’t be the first. 

so here are some photos! I wanted to post the video but its too big so I will have to figure out how to make it a bit smaller. 

It was definitely an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who might be slightly crazy 🙂 

Have I told you lately???

That I love you? Well, if not I do! 

I’ve gotten some new followers and started to follow some new blogs recently and its been great! I’m loving it and all of you! 

Anyway…I’ve had some interesting conversations the last few weeks and I wanted to share some things I have been thinking about lately and yes some of them have perfect picture quotes to go with them….


1.  Traveling is so much better with someone to share it with. Of course, you should definitely enjoy traveling with the person and everyone EVERYONE should travel somewhere alone at least once but there is a shared experience that you can take away from seeing a new place and trying new things. Also, there is always someone to hold your camera and you don’t have to ask strangers who don’t speak English. 


2. I need to slow down….
Yes, we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow but that doesn’t mean that I have to do it all now. You have to plan to enjoy your life for as long as your going to live not just to get things done before your too settled, married, have kids, too busy with your career. We have our whole lives and the idea that we have to have it all figured out and do everything exciting before a certain age or time is ludacris. Just take your time…




3. Make yourself happy…Do it. Its a choice. If you are unhappy, change it. I make the choice to be happy with my life and when I am feeling down or upset about something I fix it or I realize that it can’t be fixed and move on.  



4. Its not all about you…and thats ok. Sure, we want to think that everything will crumble without us but thats not the case. Its good to have perspective enough to realize how our actions affect the people around us while still realizing that not everything that goes on is about us. 



5. Don’t let fear make any more decisions. This could technically be my number one lesson learned. I let fear guide so many of my decisions for so long and I’ve finally realized I am my own worst enemy. 
So there you have it. 5 things I have learned that have made my life much better!! 


What are some things you have learned about yourself? 

Wine so fine…weekend update!

I finally got my bum out of my apartment this weekend which is good since I need to start getting through the list of things I want to do before I leave China. 

So there is a new wine bar in town and we got tickets to a tasting. First, its hard to find good wine here in China and second…shit didn’t have a second. 

My two favorites from the night were 
John B. -Reisling 
(South Africa) 


AND 


St. Michaels- Chocolate Zin
(American) 
Yes bitches…that is chocolate wine and it tastes amazing. May have to order a crate of it!


Anyway. The night started like this right…I looked all lady like and properly dressed for the first time in like 5 months….
My two coworkers GCgirl and Saffer on either side of me 😉 
Then we went from Champagne to wine and things got messy…..

Sidenote: I was not passed out just trying to prove to him I am too damn heavy to be carried! 
and then…..
there was a club and beer….


there are so many more but I decided to save the ridiculous ones for Thursday’s link up.
Was a fantastic but very rough night!!

Then I spent all day Sunday cleaning my apartment because BellyDancer will be here this Saturday and I am soooo very excited about it! 

How was your weekend?? 

Link up with these awesome blogs and share your weekend update 🙂
