And it's awesome. I had every intention of a quiet night in but the ladies would hear none of it. I'm glad I gave in to peer pressure this one time. Even as I sit now I can hear the music playing from Yas Bar downstairs. I sooooo want to go down and continue the party but I can't part with the at least $50usd it'll cost to get in. But man it feels so good to know that I'm here and I went out in freakin' Abu Dhabi! I got to show a few people how to move thier hips to Jamacian music. I got to see that lots of the clothing stuff we were told was NOT on point. I mean there were chicks wearing straight hooker dresses. Thing I would not wear in the US let alone here and you know what? They weren't carted off to prison. They weren't even given a second glance...there so much bromance here it's rediculous.
We brought in the New Year at the Yas Island Yatch club bar. It was great. The people were relaxed and fun. No one grabbed you and there were no "Hey shawty" or "Lemme holla at you"...it was a wonderful experience. We danced for the cooks(sucks to work on New Years Eve) when the played I Got a Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas, which seemed to be the favorite song of the folks partying and working at the bar, and they really seemed to appriciate it. It was an overall fun atmosphere. One teacher even left with a t-shirt from one of the bartenders. He literally threw it at her while(name tag and all) she was dancing and in her own world.
Blessed. That's all I can say. I'm truly Blessed to have made it to another year, to be having this experience and to have all those people(family and friends) that have supported me through this very diffucult process. My goal is to show my thanks this year and all the years moving forward.
Now that's it for real. I'm in my room with PJs back on and it's time for bed...well at least time to try and relax though the music keeps beckoning me...
