To celebrate my remaining days here in Fiji I go out with my colleagues almost on a daily basis.
It is like experiencing Fiji for the first time witnessing fire dancing performed by cute girls and really yummy young guys, snorkeling in the deep that scared the hell out of me, lazing in the hammock and watch people wading ashore, going out for yumcha on a Sunday, and swimming in the night in our neighboring hotel.
There is so much fun going on and it made me wish I had done it long time ago. Well, I am always in that position when I am just counting my remaining days. Isn't it odd?
Why don't we see these things before? Surely, it would have helped build up an interesting life especially when you feel marooned in a foreign land. I hate making promises these days so here is hoping that in China I will be able to change the pattern. There is so much history in Beijing and failing to appreciate its rich heritage is a mortal sin.
What else is left for me to do? I will definitely miss out on sky diving. I have long wanted to do it. How about doing it in China instead? Not bad. I have already done parasailing so there is a close semblance...hehehehe!
I am officially a tourist of Fiji since Monday. Time is on my side. It is now a matter of trying to get my butt out of my seat and do something outdoors.

Bye South Pacific!
Finally it has sunken deeply that I am leaving in a month's time.
Many tumultuous events transpired since the beginning of the year from being dragged into deception, finding a new love interest and meeting up with an old special friend.
At this point I am in a very emotional state. There is this feeling of love and hopelessness, joy and sadness, triumph and guilt.
In a short span of time, I am caught in this web of experience that will make my leaving the beautiful islands of Fiji a little bit harder.
Catching up with an old special friend is not in my option. However, I can't help not seeing him for the last time. Now my heart is beating again. I know that I still love him and it is enough evidence of my undying love for someone. Feelings are fleeting for most of us. Mine didn't just go away like that.
I had a long discussion with my boss who I despised for a while when all this brouhaha happened between two significant people. I was caught in between and my loyalty swang from side to side. But in the end I returned to where my respect and trust really belongs - my boss.
My staffs and colleagues hardly believe I am going in 30 days. It wasn't expected. They wouldn't expect it because I was always happy about my life and work here in Fiji. My colleagues have already began planning for my farewell soiree.
There is a new life out there waiting for me and it is bigger than life itself. I have been in Dubai for over a year but that was almost two years ago. I will be in an unchartered course bereft with challenges.
Sigh!
I know things will change as I move to China. New people to deal with, new vision, new environment and hopefully new lifestyle.
If anything, what I desire from God right now is to allow these feelings of love to be replaced with something more easy for me to manage. I need someone to usurp it.
