"Just don't bring your Photo Camera!"
Jumpsuit_Fan69 says: After a very successful quarter at work (and a little extra walking around money, wink wink) I decided to treat myself to a much-earned vacation. The rest of my crew were thinking inside the box, like Disneyland, Honolulu, NOT FOR THIS GUY. Y O L O and I'll be damned if I'm going to walk around fake plastic trees or vying for a good spot on the sand. I want those white palms and sand to myself when I'm on vaycay. So I just spun a globe and (TRUMPET SOUND) Borneo here I come!
The flight was awful and the movie was, GET THIS, Aloha.. but I'll leave that out of the review. And when I got there it was everything I had hoped for: sand as white as pure Columbian and so many palms. Only one problem: No ATM Machines. Not one on the whole island. So at this point I started to panic a bit: yeah, I could use my card at restaurants and hotels, but that's not the way I roll. I want to experience Borneo, not just watch it from the comfort of a Mariott Comfort Inn. So, anyway I'm thinking about things to pawn, and I remembered I still had my Photo Camera that my parents got me like 10 years ago when I was in Photography Class at the Community College. Honestly I wanted to get rid of it anyway - my phone takes better pictures and there's some old pictures of my ex and I that just bring back bad memories. But I'm totally over it now, just saying is all.
So anyway (where was I LOL sorry I do that) I found a place that would buy my Photo Camera for 700 Ringitt, which is about 150 American bucks, so I said "sure." But I wanted to take one last photo camera picture first before I said goodbye. From here everything gets a little bit blurry guys.. I remember waking up and thinking "this isn't the Mariott." At first I thought it was Brad just fucking with me. You'd need to know Brad to get this, but he's one of "THOSE" IT guys, and I was showing him pictures while he was on his knees fixing my SQL or whatever IT guys do, honestly I was giving him a lot of shit because he didn't get the bonus. But nope. Instead I was surrounded by monkeys. Like, literally monkeys guys. You can't make this stuff up. I don't speak Monkey but I think it had something to do with my uncontrollable laughter when I saw them climbing up and down the palms. Anyway long story short my Photo Camera was gone, and just like that my vacation became a "stay"cation. There's a lot to love about Borneo and I would go back (c'mon quarterly bonus #2 amirite) but watch out for those monkeys.
