Q: how should one live?

i just got back from miami last night; i WAS suppose to come in on monday 2 days earlier, but trying to check-in on American Airlines on monday spelt d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r. American had cancelled 4 flights (mine not being one of them) which consequently left the airport in a mess. i waited for check-in service for a good hour; all i needed was for someone look at my passport and click 'OK' on the touch-screen panel.

when someone FINALLY came along, and looked at my passport and tapped 'OK' on the panel, the screen flickered ---

'UNABLE TO CHECK-IN,....(blah blah blah) TOO LATE.... CHECK IN ONE HOUR BEFORE FLIGHT'.

WTF!?!?!! it must've been a joke, because my flight WAS an hour away! however by the damn computer timing, my flight wasn't an hour away - it was 59 minutes away. the system had got me beat, and there was "nothing [the stewards] could do". to say i flipped out was quite the understatement.

okay, onto better memories of miami.

(breathe.)

if i had to choose one word to describe miami, it'll be "stamina". these people really know how to party hard and party long. it was night after night after day after night of partying. and it doesn't stop there, if you don't have time to sleep, why not catch it on the beaches? catch a snooze, get that tan, work that shopping strip before eating that hearty sushi meal, and not forgetting putting in those extra minutes to getting your hair just right and picking that perfect party outfit so that you can go all night and all of the next day till 11am. it certainly buzzes with excitement, and sad to say, drugs too.

from my first party on a yacht, to club hopping with the hottest DJs spinning on the strips, to sitting on my patio looking at the atlantic ocean and swimming in it - i'm definitely recommending you to make a trip to miami. do try to make it coincide with the next Winter Music Conference of 2009. it is absolutely worth the experience.

the best night by far i experienced in miami was saturday night. i have to give credit to the two people who made the night awesome - the duo DJs from Baltimore, Maryland; Devon and Joshua. their fresh prince of bel-air get-up was the funniest, and 2nd wackiest sight in south beach. the wackiest sight i saw in south beach, by far, was the ab lincoln dress-a-like who danced along washington avenue, holding a sign which read "IT'S TAX TIME!"

pictures coming soon.
"so, should i move up to canada?"
"the dollars really good right now."
"hahhaa. indeed it is. one more reason to go to calgary."

i'm not a romantic, and i'm not exactly a lover, but i am - above all - a lady who loves to live and love. a honest-to-God true blue lady who loves to live and love.

in the works is a trip to baltimore to check out DJs EXIT ONLY.

A: day-to-day, with plans for tomorrow, and a goal for life and something to look forward to next week.
