Sleepy Sunday

Where did my weekend go? I has night shift last night from 2045hrs - 0715hrs. From work to home, I would have been happy to have driven in only 18mins, unfortunately a driver in front of me had to drive under 60km/hr on the houghton highway so it ended up being 30min drive and its an early sunday morning when there is no traffic! Oh well.

I had a shower then set my alarm to 10am, in order to go to the Christening of Xander Cyril, Wendy's nephew. I got up and felt so drained, tired and sick...and was also going to go out post however postponed and resting it up at home.

Home alone as folks having time together and Ray @ his Dad's place....as I said, resting it up at home.

Prior to that....

Still feeling seedy tired woke up and it was silent at home. Ray wanted me to drive him to his Dad's @ Scarborough then I drove back home. Thinking that my folks were asleep, nope they went out..relised they are staying at the city for the night.

Went upstairs to the lounge, put the heater on and watched Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. He went to Laos, while in between looking at my Facebook and watching Anthony eating Laos cuisine I was craving for noodles and more DVDs to borrowed...sitting for the next 20mins pondering on whether or not to go..well ah I went. First to Video Ezy and then My Noodle Bar @ Clontarf, went home and ate my laksa in the lounge (which is a NO NO) but hey I'm home alone just relaxing and chillin out by the fire..I mean the heater :P

Hasta Luego

Ahh...

..Is blank....hrm

Movie Marathon

Actually a DVD marathon. I find that hiring 7 dvds @ Video Ezy for $10.95 is cheaper than one movie you watch @ the Cinemas. Funny that. I also borrowed some movies from my dear friend so can't wait to watch (even though I have seen some of them before)

Michael Jackson 29 August 1958 - 25 June 2009

I came home after night shift and yes me being addicted to FACEBOOK, I wanted to check out what other people's up-dated status. So all I see is "RIP Michael Jackson/ You were the legend...will miss you dearly..." And then I decided to check the CourierMail online and the first pic & news is "JACKSON DEAD" I also turned on Nova 106.9 radio station and waiting for talks that he was confirmed dead etc...so yes He past away round 7:25am QLD Time.

Just how I felt when Steve Urwin died..I was just surprised and shocked that this has happened. NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo...I really couldn't believe it noooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOO!
Yes I can mourn like everyone else from celebrities to the old man in the cardboard box!
No matter how old we are, what ever generation he has been part of our lives.

Despite all the troubles and how eccentric he was, he is an amazing person. Without him there will be no Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Usher, Destiny's Child just to name a few. He has had a huge impact in dance and music..well everything he has contributed to.

May they both Rest in peace. They will be truely missed....they are now up there with all the other greats! My condolences to both their family and friends.

And then on the other hand, another celebrity past away from battle of ?Anal Cancer....Charlie's Angels star - Farrah Fawcett. I don't know much about her but from the Charlie Angel's and some guest appearances in shows. Other than that June 26th (25th USA time) will be remembered as the passing of 2 greatest stars.

My One WeekBreak.

First and foremost one week break from work is NOT ENOUGH! On a good note..it was good to relax and catch up on things you couldn't do before or after work!

I did manage to help clean up the house..the dishes, clothes washing, ironing and of course my room. But I am happy my room is not as messy as before, so it was easy cleaning up.

Right...Can't remember exaclty what I did Monday 25, but I do remember I finished my night shift at 715am, got home round 830am and slept til 3pm. Six hour sleep ain't bad. Ha! The whole day I 'pose was sleep and just being lazy and the usual house stuff.
Tuesday 26th I got up early round 545am and got ready to have breakfast with a friend..driving on Sandgate Road near Nudgee, I got a msg from my friend saying she couldn't make it for b'fast, so I did a U-turn, went straight back home and then went for another sleep til 1030am. I was planning on doing a Mad Dance class, decided not to and just stay home and watch Dvds, FACEBOOKING and searching the net for cheap hotels for my trip and QUT/ Colleges for (fingers x) studying next year.

Wednesday 27th ahhh got rather lazy (in btwn doing the dishes, washing and ironing) and then took my brother Ray to his work....I craved for a MacDonald's Sundae with Caramel sauce (with thanks to my friend's photo on facebook, a picture of Macdonalds Sundaes with chocolate sauce!) So I went through the drive thru and ordered my Sundae with Caramel Sauce. I LOVE MY CARAMEL SAUCE. Wednesday was also my last night of Spanish Language...despite me going there 30mins late! Finished my 8 wks of Beginners One Spanish - "Yo estoy triste, porque me ultima clase de espanol!" Now what am I going to do 730pm on a Wednesday evenings? However I will still do the D.I.Y Spanish and with the help of mi amigas y novio :D and yes numerous online language sites. Tal vez go back and study again. Hrm!

Thursday 28th went to my beloved Westfield Chermside and browsed around and brought my Tealeaves sieve thingy and a box of Mint & Vanilla Flavour tea. Yum and looking round the usual before heading back home and watching more DVDs, facebooking etc!

Friday 29th Ray, Mum & I went to the city from 1030ish - 6pm. While Mum & Ray went to browse at the film school in Yeronga and Griffith Film study course to a movie, I just wondered round the city, looking for dress/accessories for my friend's wedding. Found a lovely green (emerald) colour dress with a white bowtie on the waist. So cute, so I laybuyed it. Also in the city there was numerous things I saw....

Fridays in the City has their random buskings and peformances. For instance this dude on a tall Unicycle...or at the top end of Queen Street Mall, they were preparing to showcase some modelling and to celelbrate Italy week.
The city can be nice or what I updated on my Facebook - BRISBORING Lol. I was getting rathe bored in city, the fact that I was there since 1030am and that I didn't buy much. Its exciting when you do buy things...I just wait for my next pay day teheheh (which will go mostly to my rent and credit card bills!)

Sometimes I see some 'kinda activist groups' their propaganda and items up on sale etc...in hoping we have a heart to change to whatever political view point they were trying/aiming to tell. Funny I walked past and saw this...Hrm interesting indeed!

Saturday 30th, took Ray to see his Dad, before I went to get some car petrol and a few stuff for mum...oh some DVDS and 2 bottles of Mascato. YUM! I was so happy to see my bf. So much I miss him..been a month since so it was great to spend Saturday evening. Did I mentioned I missed him A LOT!

Sunday wasn't planning too much, but wanted to head out somewhere other than staying home. Spontaneously went to the City and the Valley with Mum. We had a nice Yum Cha lunch at the Valley.....then went to the City for a while..While walking about Saw some busking people :)
Like these 2 mujeres - one playing the harp and one playing a flute instrument..It reminds of watching those movies set in the Reinassance/Middle ages and just felt like doing a jolly jig infront of 'em! Just like a jester.

I have 2 days left of my break.....another spontaneous outing to the City or Chermside..(again!) and DVD movie marathon. Hrm now time to sit back and relax...snooze perhaps....Hasta luego y Buenas Noches! V

Emergency Items

Don't you hate it when you are searching in your bag for your lip balm, thinking that you left it at home? But then while searching you eventually find A LIP BALM, that you 'apparently lost'. Ha! So much I love emergency items.
Whether it has expired for a week, a month or even a year (whether lip balm or a watermelon chupa chup), in your bags or whatever you seem to find random items that later comes in very good use.

The other day I forgot my lip balm, because I transferred my wallet, itouch into another bag and assuming I put my lip balm in my bag! Thinking I left my lip balm, I thought to myself "well I will just buy a new lip balm"...on my way to a shop, I happen to grab my wallet out of my bag, til i felt something else in there...got it out and it was a Lip Balm. It wasn't the one I normally use, but thank gosh I saved $5. I also realised I haven't seen that lip balm for a long time (about 1yr) and yes I thought i lost that lip balm. I didn't phew!

It hasn't been the first time this has happened. Not just lip balms but chewing gum (as long as it is still edible), hair ties, clothes. Its funny when you do leave certain items, whether it be in your handbag or your car, etc you sometimes don't realise that items scattered really do come in handy at one point.

I think the items for good emergency that should be kept in random bags (yes girls do rotate their bags at times) or in the car should be (not in particular order):-

1. Lip Balm
2. Panadol (as long as its not expired)
3. Bandaides
   
4. Hand lotion
5. Hair ties/bobbin pins
6. Small comb
7. Mirror
8. Shoes
9. Hoodie/jumper in the car just in case you forgot to bring it for the cooler weather etc...
10. A pen and small notepad (or just the pen)

Of course there are more that you may think of, but these are the main ones I think sure comes in handy!
Just scatter a few in bags you normally use and next time you have forgotten something, there is always an 'emergency item' in need!

Ahora! Where's that watermelon chupa chup....I wonder if it is still edible since 5 months ago.....

Hasta luego!

Work, Fiestas & Everything in Between

Life is so busy work, bills, parties, car/house maintence, learning dance, learning a language and resting, cleaning, showering, sleeping and eating in between... and then its not enough for one full day. You have to either continue it the next day or next week. *sigh!*

The day goes so quick that soon it'd be 2010! Holy Moly!

Well this saturday i will go to a Farewell at the Fox at Southbank, to farewell 2 very good workmates..Larissa y Lauren. I will miss them as they are beautiful, funny nurses to party with and work with. Larissa and Lauren if u read this I'm going to miss you a lot! (need kleenex right now!)
Also on the same day is the Mad Dance House Show so i will b watching the 430pm session. Cheering on for the people on stage. Gosh wish i performed but no i was too busy doing my own things or too exhuasted and pricey to do some dancing. So going to watch instead. I do miss performing.

If a few of you remember i did write an entry about changing career/ studying...well i have decided to go and study next year..., as for this year i will focus on my trip to the New Zealand and USA. Yes i need A LOT OF DINERO for fun in the sun (or snow!) and become rather picky in what i do, eat so if any other people are reading this advance apologies for not chipping in as much, as i am saving for my trip. Oh and yes my credit cards aiming to pay them off as well! Not too long for one Yes i did say ONE of them (not going to mention what other ones i have!), Then that way i can cut them up! Really just need one not like a million! (yes exaggerating!)

Should learn my spanish religiously so i can actually speak without hesitating or writing without hesitating. Practice makes perfect!
Well right now i really should......so....

Adios
