I am glad that somehow, I brought a long lost friend to you Christine    You know they are always there, pretty, charming, pleasant, to me, they will never change...I miss them often.  :cool: We never dock in Porto, but Lisbon, Ponta Delgada and island of Medera, the gifts from heaven I named them.  

Oh, don't you worry Mikie, I am a very simple person   Did you find any sophisticated thoughts in my stuff?  :rolleyes:   ;)

Mikie

not the one here, but in the other posts. don't you know, simplifing life itself is already philosophical enough        

BMB

Yeah yeah I know you meant my other posts   I also agree with you that to simplify life is already philosophical, but if eventually one day, you find out who you are and what you want, you must have been thru some philosophical paths already.  If it does you good, then why not profit it?  

I won't put those heavy thoughts in the articles, I have done my thinkings, I don't think too much now, good for me hey?  ;)

Mikie

can you tell me how long it takes to go through this path?  i haven't figure it out yet.  :confused:   :confused:   :confused: . yeah.....don't tell me three years on the water.......          i know my turn will come. just don't know when. but i am getting ready... at least trying to... that is...     

BMB

Three years on waters plus the three years before that in a place which is a combination of army and 'fascistic concentration camp' called Swiss Hotel Management School.  
(hope my ex-dean won't sue me!)  :p
I am very proud to be one of the small amount of survivers from there.

Judge from your posts, your turn is coming soon, or maybe, you have a higher level of expectation ?  ;)

Mikie

three years on the water......i told you don't tell me that...  :mad:   :p  i didn't expect you to go through "boot camp", how did you survive that  :confused: , and it didn't crew up your imaginative mind.....boy, you are STRONG   .  i almost went to work with a hotel when i was in high school, actually twice in my life, i almost ended up in the hospitality industry.  i still think today, if i did that, i would have done pretty good.  now when i walk into a hotel, that thought alway flashes through my mind, but i don't know if i would do it for life.... now i will never have the chance to know...   

i am curious, how do you know my turn is coming? judging from what? maybe you can point out a path for me, i am still as confused as what i was before.... show me the "money"   .  i've had two people played very important role in my life....funny enough, they are not the people closest to me... but somehow what they said changed my life....maybe i meet another one here....    just kidding, but seriously, tell me.... since you don't know me....  

BMB

You are smart, you have a fair and open mind.  That's what I learnt from your posts.  So I think, 'I think'    you are getting closer to the voice inside yourself.  As you knew, I am not a fortune teller or a philosopher who is able to point out paths to other people    :p You gonna find it out yourself   ;)
PEACEFULNESS in both mind and heart is all that I am after. For you it could be something else, what do you really want Mikie?   :rolleyes:   

Talking about hotels, it kills if I work for more than two or three years in the same one, but one thing can make me stay, coz I really like to communicate with people, to smile and serve, to make them happy so as to make me happy.  I found myself really suitable for being in the hospitality industry.  I can deal with all sorts of guys, nasty, rude, violent, drunk...of course the nice, polite,gentle ones as well.  Come to me, I'll show you the MONEY!

hi bmb,
is there a voice inside me? i can hear it..   , but you are right, i am seeking this voice in me now, too bad, i just can't get settle down and be peaceful inside.   :p    :p . i am planning to doing something this summer.... and hope it will get me what i want.   

you ask me what i want to be if i could.... is monkey one of the choices???   :confused:    :p just kidding, but i don't quiet know what you are referring to....in terms of career? personality? sex? physical merits? or choice of parents.....    you got to be careful for what you wish for also....

so what are you doing now in montreal? do you still want to do your old job? or i guess you need a recharge....and try something new? like writing memoir on your days on the water.. hey, what happend to your new episodes? did the ship sink? then why did you stop....don't tell me you were the screen writer for cast away....   

BMB

Ahhhh Mikie, you are lovely!   You know what? If I could, I would be a wild dog, (agenda not decided yet)in the first place, and a monkey the next. seriously  :p How coincident this could be!
But did I ever asked you what you would if you could at all??? Well I don't mind if you have the intention to tell. I remember what my question was 'what do you want?' in terms of all aspects.  'wishes' belongs to another topic.

What I am doing?
I am doing French  
Cofi will be served in July for two months only and then I'll find myself a decent job (HOPEFULLY  ).Would really like to be in the tourism business still.  But definetly no more schooling. I had that enough!

I blame summer for delaying my new episode coz there are just too much to do, to see, to go, to check out, to have fun. The city is vivid...and you know!   ;) Actually the article was written but not yet typed in. The ship has not sunk yet but in dry dock.  ;)   :p   

Mikie

oops, i think i was day dreaming when i wrote you last message....    i actually thought of saying "wolf" for the first choice, but on second thought, since there are a lot of sensitive people around watching, ipicked my second option...     

how was quebec cofi?  tasts not bad? what stage are you now? i remember when i learnd my english, there was a period of time i could ask questions in english and people could understand me, i was very proud, but then when they answered me, i had no clue what they were talking about!!! so i shut up..     

learning language is really not easy,  i guess that's why i haven't picked up french yet....like you said, enough!!

btw, i told you i haven't figured out yet what i want.... i am still trying...i am trying my best to enjoy life in montreal,  we are so much blessed by whatever, or whoever to be here in this city...we should be thankful....
