| moved.hey, i know its been a little belated, but happy new year!
have a good oh seven yeah? okay, wondering bout the lack of updates?
well like i said, i feel... stunted by this blog, in terms of writing that is.
sooo... i did the most logical thing, i moved! www.lifewithoutspaces.blogspot.com thats where i am now, i apologize for the lack of updates, but i promise, imma remedy that now! thanks for being a reader this far, and well, the saga continues.. | | |
| enough.enough. thats it, this blogs tapped out.
everytime i feel i want to write, i cant.
i think this blogs just tapped out, all the energy in it, the creativeness is gone.
i need a new layout, or a new blog perhaps. but im loath to give away the memories in this one.
hmmm.
its gotten to a point where ive written posts on my computer, on my phone, in my notepad, but i cant post them here.
they dont.. fit anymore.
the persona writing on the pages is kinda.. gone, he's grown up and moved out.
a new guy is taking over, a new writer picked up the pen and he wants something new to write on.
lost all my readerships as well i think.
time for a change me thinks.

| planes and postmortemshey! missed this a little, the blogging. since my birthday ive been away/busy/onthephone or any other msn status available.
that includes appearing offline. heres a quick recap of whats been happening, more for my own memoirs than anything else. Friday 13th - my birthday
got tons of wishes from many many people, and for which i thank you all.
got totally smashed at night, for which i..thank you guys too. haha, even if i dont remember half of it anyway
lost my glasses, thanks to sarveen Sunday 15th - flight
i took off on a plane to melbourne australia.
i like flying in planes, catching up on your movies and tv shows on the inflight entertainment is pretty good too.
land in The Land Down Under.
weather is biting cold but i love it.
tis invigorating.
have my first australian meal; italian and get shocked by the portion sizes.
sister goes mad over aussie boys starting from cute customs officer in airport. Monday 16th - city
take the tram to the city.
love the weather (lotsa sun with lotsa cool winds)
i love the tram system which is just..novel
a reaallly cute chinese girl helps out my mom with the tram ticket buying
i mouth my thanks to her from across the tram and she smiles back at me sweetly.
food and shopping is good
i love the hustle and bustle of the city, with the cold winds blowing and warm benches to sit on
i like the stride of the streets and the sweet jazzy strains of music from the busker who looks like ray charles.
i give him 50 cents. Tuesday 17th - explore
today instead of a tram its a train, which is also pretty cool.
public transportation is fun, cuz it gives you some nice time to either think, relax, work, or talk with people.
or listen to other people talk.
melbournes beautiful now, with the weather and the new buildings thanks to the olympics.
federation square is awesome and with the international arts festival on now, there were tons of things to see.
breakfast is at a small cafe with realllly good food
its so small the plates are on shelves up on the ceiling, the cute aussie waitress had to climb a chair to get them.
note: all aussie restaurants serve water in bottles with rubber plugs. very kitcsh.
now i know why whites tend to be fat.
firstly one portion of food could feed a third world nation.
second they have shops like max brenner and kokoblack where the menu consists of solely chocolate based items.
third they have Suga. you know those little round sweets with words or pictures inside?
well, those are called Suga's and theyre made by hand.
fucking awesome to see.
went to a park at night with my siblings and had fun just running around.

the clubs 2nd anniversary = free tequila for 2 hours.

| notes to self.i have this habit.
i write little notes to myself
(also to do with the fact that i currently lack anyone else to write little notes to)
whenever i get the urge to, or i jsut have something to say, ill write it down into my phone, then completely forget that ive done so.
so much later, ill look through my notes and find a little gem of wisdom or something so totally random i smile.
here's one i wrote one day while observing a class in progress
"do not forsake your youth. dont give up your right to make mistakes,and many of them. or to have stupid hairstyles, to do stupid things once in a while, or even all the time. smile everyday to everyone you meet except maybe that really irritating guy you dont like. no, actually, smile at him too, its not like he doesnt deserve it either. keep your life on track, dont fall, you might not want to get up. its not that you cant, its just that you might not want to."
deep huh?
i have no idea why or how i came up with it. heres one i wrote one sunday afternoon driving to the library about to do some college work.
"this is peace. im out driving on an insanely bright and sunny day. its so piercingly bright out, but im wearing sunglasses. its a terribly hot sunday afternoon but my aircond and the breeze make it oh so windy and cool.as i write this in my car, im in the shade of a tree in front of a library under the hot sun listening to louis armstrong and ella fitzgerald. its an awesome feeling i tell you. this is peace." hmmm, opposites seem to attract here. notice how some of the best things in the world can be extremes of either end that come together and find middle ground, a compromise of sorts. heres another totally random one.
"time is all we have" no idea where this came from, whether its an idea for a song or a reminder.
sounds cool tho, something to look into. and this i wrote after watching devilwearsprada. "i wanna date a writer. i want her to be smart, and preppy, and a slight workaholic, and she should stress just a little too much over things. then i can come in and calm her down with a glass of wine, some music, words of comfort and a hug. writers are cool,yeah." haha,enjoy my bits of randomness, tis time to be back to the drudgery of work.
ps.
su ann, thank you for your wonderful party
i hope you'll have a great eighteen
may your laughter be loud and hearty
may everyone remember you, wherever you've been.

| graffiti.i like graffiti.
okay, spray painted lines like 'saya suka babi, fo sho' just dont cut it.
and the standard fuck you's in alleyways are plain stupid.
im more interested in graffiti art, which is pretty elaborate sometimes and honestly, damn fucking good.
so i snap it whenever i get the chance.
heres my collection.
whats cool is that some of them have..meanings, if you know where to look.
otherwise to you theyre just a pretty picture.
its a little girl with angel wings.
i think it talks about abortion, or abuse, how little kids pass away due to the actions of adults, and whilst they get wings and go to heaven, they never grow up and experience life.
the new wwf panda; in order to protect the animals, you gotta have a bite.
 heres a baby doll, but with a brain.
bimbos need not apply here, just cuz someones cute, cuddly and like a toy, it dont mean shes dumb.
 here we have Magmo The Destroyer, the mascot of a US independant art company/group.
how it got to the centrepoint mcdonalds ill never know..
 some random anime
 and a weird character, looks star wars based.
fun eyh? | | |
