Back in Hong Kong! What a Crappy Start for 2007

Recently I've been trying to catch up with my blog postings. I've backdated a lot of entries because I didn't have any time to update my blog while I was traveling. I'm pretty much all caught up so I'll just try to summarize the week or so that I've actually been in Hong Kong.

The flight back was pretty tiring. But I was also looking forward to coming back. There's a reason for this some of you back home know about. I was feeling pretty good about a relationship that was starting to bloom. But aside from the happy welcome home recently it has been a tiring ordeal. Maybe I'll be lucky and no one really reads this part, but I wanted to include this for my own memory in the future. I got back into Hong Kong on the 5th and by the weekend things started to fall apart. The worst thing is I'm not entirely sure why. The girl was nice enough to give me a try but it just doesn't work out? She is trying to protect her family and friends who might be partially involved? She has a boyfriend or she has become interested in someone else? It could be a combination of any of the above or maybe something entirely different. I hate to speculate but emotionally your mind drives you to do it. I'm trying to use logic to overcome emotion but it really is a tough battle.

I've asked for some clarity but I haven't gotten any responses I can use. I can't even get some quality time with her to go through things seriously. Maybe that's her plan as well, piss me off so that I just give up, or just screw with my head even more. It can be tiring.

Actually aside from the relationship thing, things have been going well. It was a little rough going back to work the next day after arriving. I had a mild jet lag for the majority of the first week, but waking up early worked to my advantage a little. I just didn't do much at night. I had a few social events like meeting up with Tiffany at Shooters in Times Square, dinner with various friends, and starting back up at the gym. Last night I went clubbing again for the first time in about a month. I dropped by Volar first and ran into Terrence and his friends. When Cherie arrived we had a quick dinner and then headed over to Club No.9, then off to Hei Hei. I got introduced to Germaine's new boo for the first time. Everyone seem to have hooked up over the holidays, I wish I could say the same for myself but as you know that probably won't be the case.

I just finished dinner in TST with Sandra, Kazue, and Jamie. Originally I was suppose to roller blade with Janice, but her grandmother had an incident today and she obviously needs to attend to her family affairs. I went to the gym with Jamie and Bella instead.

I have a clearer head about what I want to do here coming back. The break in Canada was definitely a good thing. But, this relationship is messing with my head. I want to call to get things resolved but I'm trying very hard to respect her wish to talk to me on her own time. Maybe this method will work out though, I'm getting pretty tired of the broken expectations and the run-around. I've been disappointed so many times with the relationships in Hong Kong. I had such a good feeling about this one going in, but this may turn out to be the biggest disappointment yet. The last I saw her was after a lunch in which she walked off promising to call to talk about it. I'm still waiting for that call. It is helpful to talk about it though, so hopefully I can keep busy and keep my head together.
