    Congratulations, Red. I am so happy for you. :)

    It sounds like a great time to me. You weren't expecting it and that is what makes it great. Those well-planned and rehearsed proposals are all well and good, but the ones that happen at the least expected times are the ones that show just how close you are. There is no way he can ever deny he didn't know what he was getting into. :D

    OMG, congrats Red! I am so happy for you! I think the totally random and spontaneous proposals are the best. Way more romantic!

    I hope you all had a great New Years! All the best in 2011~!

    I miss you guys! Jeez my old job was so laid back. This new place allows no internet. Well that they know of. Today I watched the office trouble maker actually put a person on hold, she typed a response on her instant messenger then picked the phone back up. I was shocked. Speachless.

    After these weeks there I am not so sure it's the place for me. I can't even begin to explain the issues. Not to mention I am not even doing the job I was hired for. I was so excited. I thought I found a new home there. Now I am barely hanging on. Help! Some one here told me not to get to happy just yet. I can't remember but you were right.

    Awesome for you adam.

    Today was a small change of events. Last night at dinner I had decided in my head I wasn't going in this morning. But of course I did. I hate being a quitter. So I go in. I then tell my boss my exact thoughts. I even used the "f" word on purpose in one spot. He repeated it in total agreement. In fact I even told him I wanted to quit every day and spoke of it every day. Well long story short he was shocked I saw what I saw. No one normally sees things like I have. Which is another long story. By the end of the day he had asked me to please hang on he is making changes. We will see these changes. I truthfully think he is the problem to some extent and the changes will not follow through. But he asked me more then once to not give up. I have to give him that.

    I missed my drinking time spent too much time playing games then realised it was too late to get smashed properly :(

    Yep your right bear. About it all.

    I have to say I think the new job will be OK. After my thoughts were expressed in the only way I know how he seemed a bit different with me. Sadly I think the way I handled the talk impressed him. So it seems.

    Oh I am up early for a weekend. Oh who am I kidding always up by 5 or so. So sad. OK off to shower, gym and work. I showere before the gym... funny.

    In and out.
    Hi Stringer hope your having a great weekend.
    Glad you had a good time Unky. Vacations are always to short no matter how long they are. Makes sense right?

    Heading out for winter fun today when my son is done church school. I hate winter. Oh the things I do for that boy. Memories are getting made of my misery. Lol kidding.

    Yes, I'll try to post them as soon as possible. Most of them are from friends, so I'll have to wait for when they post it on Facebook :)

    I had a priceless video from New Years I could have put on Facebook but I have respect enough for my friends I didn't. We had people over and this friend of ours out of no where fell on his face drunk. Seriously we never saw it happening and we were only sipping. My son got a camcorder from Santa and started to film him. It was funny. They were worried I was going to post it but that's just mean when people do that.

    Ah, if this contains things that can embarrass people, I understand. I thought that we'd be having some fireworks on the ship but no, just a countdown and a display of the ship's chef of his masterpieces with fruits, veggies, bread and all that.

    There was a bunny made of fruits, a turtle with bread, a crocodile with bread, several different flowers with fruits, mickey mouse with water melon and other fruits. The show on that night was awesome! Everyone from the entertainment team was in the show, plus other members of the crew.

    Oh, dinner now, see you later! :)

    The ship, the adult pool of the ship (2,20 m deep) with only children in it.. some dishes we had for dinner, and some of the notices on the ship :p)

    http://p1cture.me/images/12074597251876671080.png

    This was in Seychelles, the road, the road, the 'Big Ben', the market and a beach (The name was Takamaka I think).

    http://p1cture.me/images/14399358307322400931.png

    This one is the theatre of the ship viewed from one side, and the last is a ravioli made of some algae. First time ever I eat ravioli.

    The dinner was awesome! The other meals, though lacked variety in my opinion. Besides eating, I was playing cards, watching the night show in the opera, playing table tennis, playing babyfoot, visiting the islands, playing video games either on my DS console or on the iPad a kind man lent us, walking around the ship, etc. Anyway, sheer relax time :p

    Those are some pictures up to now (that I merged in some big pictures. I hope they kept their quality). I'll bring more as they come :)

    Playing babyfoot,
    What is babyfoot? And was that the 'Royal Carribean' ship?
    I make great Ravioli, I'll send you a better recipe than algea:rolleyes:
    I'm glad you had a great time.

    Edit: my spell check and brain are not working:)

    Lol, there were the customs raviolis too :) The algae ones tasted a little strange though.

    This is the Costa Romantica (I spelt it wrong the previous time :o) and it does only the Indian Ocean, until next time, it'll be renovated. Then, it'll be the Costa Serena which will take the Indian Ocean. There are a little more than 15 ships in this line if I remember well.

    And... you don't know babyfoot? This is soccer but with a little table with little soccer players figurines. (linky for image)

    I wonder if there are more pictures now. Got to check it out!
