26 days of 2009

Matt: Can you believe that 26 days of 2009 have been and gone already? Where does time go, it's like life gains momentum as you get older. Remember as a child, waiting a week for something was like waiting forever yet now a week seems to go in the blink of an eye.

OH SO what's Occurring? Well the new year has bought much already. My very good friend Annalisa was proposed to on New Years eve, by a good guy, another Matt in fact. I'm really pleased for them both. Annalisa has been a special friend for a while now and it's means a lot to me that she has found happiness that she deserves. Well done guys, I'm stoked and I'll be there on the happy day.

It's been a busy month with work and socially. We have launched our Brand Assett tool, BrandNexus - this went live with DP World. It's a great tool and is being well received. We need to finalise a few sections and then start selling the product to the market. So many companies could benefit from this tool. We'll have a marketing website available soon and I'll provide the link so you can all have a little looksee.

News years day saw us heading out of Dubai into Oman and to Wadi Ray camping. Kelly and I, Rhonda and Cam - It was an entertaining trip, with new useful camping tools-a-plenty. We did a little exploring too, climbing the highest peaks in the area.

My friend Leanne came out to visit Dubai and I think it did her the world of good. We had a very busy week, shopping, socialising, sunning and basically living it up a little. It's funny when you've been in a bit of a rut for a while, you tend to accept this as the norm, Dubai opened helped Leanna see there is lots more to the world and you don't have to accept what's in front of you - with a little effort and courage - you can change those things you don't like or enjoy in life. Hope to see you out this way again sometime soon Misses.. Book up those lessons too and keep focused x

We also decide to take a trip this past weekend, most entertaining. Never before have I camped in such a ferocious storm. Yes, you heard right, a storm. The heavens opened and didn't relent most of the night. High winds, thunder, lightning, I woke to a clap of thunder at one point to find the tent at a very obscure angle, i was virtually sucking canvas. The Kelly woke up beside me a little dazed and very scared. I have to admit now that i could easily envision the us being blown down the beach tent and all. I ended up tethering the tent to the Pajero. Come dawn, you'd never have known there was even a light shower. Just on top of the mountain next to us, things were a little worse. Click Here

Peace out..
