work is tiring. i have only been here for 3 hours today but i wanna go home. it would be different if there was someone to actually talk to. Cassie isnt working today so my buddy isnt here. + that means no spring rolls. And i am hungry.
why cant people text back when they say they will. i have been waiting for a week now for for a text about the movies. Can't people just do what they say, then i would have no problems and my life would be so much easier to plan. I might just have to find someone else to go to the movies with. never mind. its just annoying.
where has this year gone? i remember ringing people on mews years eve. i could even tell you the conversation we had, it was that recent in my mind. now its the middle of november and christmas is just around the corner, i have to get my shopping done really fast, especially because i am going back to the philippines for xmas. that, i cant wait for.

work has been crazy. i only get one day off a week but i have had so much to do that i had to bring home work the other day. I felt like i was back in school with homework. Im not even sure i want to go to college now and give up all the money im earning. i might leave it another year so that i can continue to work. Especially cos i really like the rec centre and all the people there.
Had a great weekend last weekend. i actually drove half the way to auckland. it was all good until this jackass in a van thought i was too slow and beeped at me. i had 'L' Plates. Damn insensitive drivers these days.
Also went ice skating. Havent done that in years. I felt really good though cos i didnt fall over once.
Yes!!!! Am finally going out again. can't wait. am making sure its saturday thought cos thelast time i went out i had work the next day and was so exhausted and hungover. Never doing that again.

1:13 pm - finally
|
i know i havent updated in a really long time. an i apologise. today is my first day off in a really long time so im gonna try and update more often.
So i have my weekly schedule nowand its packed. Im now coaching 5 days a week as well has 3 reception shifts plus private hires for gymnastics. the only day i dont do anything is Sunday, but so far that is full with competitions that my girls are in. Actually cant wait to go and see them do their stuff.
Reception: is great except for the complaints about other instructors that i have to report.
Gym: Great fun, plus i have home school kids coming in as well. Thats awesome.
Private hires: This week is a birthday and the kid wants a kindy gym set up. That should be cool tho.
All the people at work are great. The lifegaurds are really weird, and apparently i went to school with one of the guys, milosh. He asked me about primary school and wat class i was in and it turns out he was in my class as well. I still dont remember him. But all of them a good guys. Easy to talk to and fun to hangout with. Plus they dont forget about my breaks im suppose to have regularly. Casey is great. She is always asking if i want a break and loves just hanging out at reception talking.
I still cant believe i have gone pretty much straight from school to a job where i have so much input into the way things are run. It feels weird now being on the other side of the counter too. Now i can sympasthise with those is the malls whp have long lines waiting to be served and the customers are bitching to themselves. It tough trying to keep a smile on your face and stay calm instead of yelling 'Its only 2 bucks, forget about it already'.
Last week was hayleys farewell. I knew i loved Porirua. We met these two guys. They had just won $140 on the pokey machines and they spent it on all of us by buying us shakers and paying for all the pool we played. That was a great night. They even gave tracey and jaime a ride home. (+ they live in the complete opposite direction to them).
IM GOING BACK TO MANILA SOON!!!!!!!!!! Im going for Xmas to visit my parents and mum little brother. I cant wait to see all of you who are still there. Is there anything i need for u guys?
CAnt wait to see everyone....
current mood:  i wanna go out!!!

i have been here two months now and it still feels like i am here on holiday. i know that it is now my home but it is strange. it has registered that this is now where i live but i still feel like this is just a visit.
Things like what my aunty says makes it even worse. She is always going on about her house and her neice staying with her for a while like it is really temporary. And her car, (which she wont let me drive even with my license), her bills, her money to pay the bills, her money spent on all the food when i am buying the food as well. Plus the phone bill for the internet is not being paid by her anyway. But in her mind, everything is all HER THINGS! that really annoys me.
On top of her moaning, the room i have here use to be where the cat slept and spend all the day. Even now, when i say something about my room, she comments that "it is chardee's (thats the cat) room". AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And i do all the coking, i decide on what we are having for dinner and everyting. When she gets home and im cooking she just sits down and starts cooking while im busy rushing around the kitchen getting everything ready.
Also the moods people have when u are living with them. Every night she moans to me about her work and the problems she has there. However, if i tell her i dont want to hear about it, she goes, "Why are you in such a pissy mood?" I cant win. So for the next 18 months im gonna have to shutup, bite my tongue, and put up with all her moaning, her comments and shit. And if i turn around and moan about my day, she's like "you cant complain, you have an easy job". it gets me so fustrated and angry.
Then there are the arguments, or, 'difference of opinion' as i tell my parents cos i dont want to upset them or anything. If i have a 'difference of opinion' and i try to explain to her where i am coming from, she says "i dont want to hear about, lets just agree to disagree". She is closed-minded.
Why can't life be simple? It would be better for everyone!

12:29 pm - Decisions!
|
Man i have decisions. WEll, actually they are okay. Its just not lnowing what will happen because of those decision is what i hate. Like signing contracts. How do you know if what you are signing is in your best interest? Anyway, i have my contract to sign today but i dont want to have to reply on someone else to tell me that it is safe to sign. i want to do it all on my own but then im scared that i will muss something and then i lose out. Never mind, we all have to do that at some point and time in our lives. Best get on with it now and see how it goes right?
Shit its cold here today. This damn weather is getting me in a grumpy mood. Why do we have to have winter at all? all it does s rain, snow, hail and cause trouble. It also causes bad moods and i have been on the recieving end of them lately. That just gets me annoyed and grumpy even more than the weather does. I wish it was summer all the time so then i can spend all my time at the beach, and have xmas with my Family.
I miss my mum and dad and my younger brother. i cant annoy corrie and i cant watch the cars shows with dad and movies with mum. Why do we have to live in different countries? i know its only for another 18 months but that be a really long time. Nevr mind, im sure ill survive. Have to really.
current mood:  okay

ok, i just had this long as talk with an old friend who is 8 and a 1/2 months pregnant. She is so sick of it and cant wait for the baby to be born. Cant say i blame her, i mean, she is only 18 and she is missing out on a lot of stuff. she hasnt been legally drinking since her 18th birthday as she got pregnant not long after that night.
Im trying to understand what it must nbe like. its just that she is still so young and yet she is now having to grow up drastically before her time. Not to mention she has tog et mentally prepared for the PAIN of chbild birth. OUCH!!!!!!!! Cramps are bad enough, im dreading the birth part when i have kids.
anyway, i'm having lunch with her this friday so it will be really greast to see her again. especially before the baby is born.
Why is it that there are so many young mothers and fathers in my neighbourhood. Well, its like 6 of friends are now parents and the are all my age or slightly younger than me. its really scary. Walking down the street seing your freiends with these children in their arms and hearing them say, 'its okay sweety, mummy/daddy's here'. and some of them i knew had it coming but the others had a lot going for them and they were starting to get on with their life. Like one girl, she was just accepted into the navy and then wham! she's expecting. i was shocked and annoyed because they were careless and altered their whole lives suddenly.
But on the other hand, they all love their kids soo much, its really a sifght to see in that respect.
Anyway, im definitely waiting a while before i have kids. Definitely want to finish uni and all first. (still have to decide on course for that one)

well, this week is going so slowly. i have read like three novels in four days. its sad really, this week is boring expecially when you know that there is something for you to do next week. cant wait for work.
am still trying to decide on what i want to do at uni. havent figure out what yet. i know roughly what area, like biology or psycholoy, but nothing further than that. i have gotten some info about the courses but i think i want to have a career in mind so that i know what i am working towards in the end. any ideas people? let me know if u think of something i could do that i would think sounds interesting. At least i will consider it for a while.
Driving lesson tomorrow. suppose to be friday but the instructor is fully booked so its tomorrow instead. that doesnt bother me becauser i love to be behind the wheel of the car. my dad is worried because if he doesnt come home at xmas then my brother and grandad will have to chose a car for me instead of him. He really wants to be the one to pick the car out seeing as he is the one who will be paying for the car. i dont blame him for that. if it was my money i would want to chose the car as well.
off to gymnastics in a minute but first it is shopping. not clothes shopping buit grocery shopping, blah. At least i get to chose what it is that we buy if i do it myself.

well, its now sunday night and my weekend has been a waste. i mean i havent done anything at all, i havent even see any of my friends like i was going to, ive been so lazy. i know its my own fault bt eh, cant be bothered.
One more week to sleep in so i am going to make the most of it. Then its up at 4.45am to go to work. Man im going to be buggered. long days spent serving customers is going to bet tough. Ill get use to it i suppose.
I saw the movie crash last night. It was okayed but there is no way i would have given it 4 starts of 5 like all the critics did. i was sitting thinking when is this going to end. it was really slow and some of it was really predictable too. like how it was the brother that died. sorry for anyone who hasnt seen it ill shut up now.
There really is nothing for me to say. so ill stop writing so that people can find and do something way more interesting.

Okay, I know it has been a really long time since i last updated my lj. Dunno why really, just busy get sorted out here in new zealand.
So, i have now been back in New Zealand for nearly 3 months. The first month was spent completely with my grandparents, aunties and uncles and catching up with my older brother. Plus it was a wind down time with my Mum and Dad and my Little brother cos they all now back there in the Philippines without me. Luckily i still have a computer to talk to them online.
Have also caught up with all my friends and gone to a 19th birthday as well as a 21st birthday. Both were excellent nights and partied hard. The clubs here are rather different but still loads of fun.
Oh, I even got my learners license and have been driving heaps. Am loving behind in control of a car. Cant wait to get my own car cos then i can just up and leave whenever i feel like it. SOOOOOOOO can't wait.
Okay, I'm now living in the next town to my home town but that doesn't matter cos i catch the train out there most days anyway. I am completely set up with a computer and even have a little money to tide me over.
After 1 month here i got a ob on the holiday programme and that was so much fun. We went swimming (in the middle of bloody winter), go-karting, bowling, movies, plays, parks, mini-golf and so much more. We even have sing-star and m,an, the karaoke competitions were s much fun. We even had a dance competition.
Its since been 4 weeks since the holidays were over and i have bee thoroughly looking for a job. I applied for one at Hannahs (shoe store), at datamine, warehouse, woolworths and the supermarkets but got no-where. Then a job opened up at the local Recreation Centre so i applied. Today i found out that i got the job. I'm Ecstatic. (excuse all spelling)
So, there, thats my life up to date. Quite boring when i go back and read all of it.
current mood: Having the best day!

You Have A Type B+ Personality
B+
You're a pro at going with the flow
You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer
A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.
While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.
Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done
You're passionate - just selective about your passions
,
i dunno bout some of this but it seems to be accurate

9:52 am - boredom is essential, specially when there is nothing to worry about
|
I think everyone needs to be bored at one time or another. otherwise how will we know when we are amused? Everything is really quite here, parents gone out, brother aslepp, life is great. it really is!!! STill time left in the holidays and nothing can bother me at the moment. i am totally relaxed and have nothing im worried about. Cant wait to hang out with friends again and party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially when we gonna have so much fun.
Have you ever wondered how life continues with so much disater around the world right now? Because of recent events i am determined to have fun, enjoy life more than ever. Times a wasting and you cant get it back.
Cant wait til my family arrives here two weeks from today, and yes guys he has the chocolate you like and crave when mentioned. Its gonna be fun. My parents are sure they are gonna want to go out drinking. Plenty of places to do that here.Its going to awesome when they see the prices of drink here. Compare to NZ its like...FREE!!! ALcahol in NZ is soo expensive, u spend soo much yuo dont get drunk untl you are completely broke and u are getting girls to by you drinks, or guys for that matter. Good thing here is they dont ask for ID.
Now i am craving the peanut slabs and crunchies, AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
