Roses, packages and Clint Boge.

Ahh I have missed two days of blogging! Do not really have an excuse other then laziness. However now I have stuff to write about :). So yesterday it was our 29th month annerversity and my lovely got me these roses;

Pretty! and it was more then one, so even more special. I loves him.

Also I got this package;

Can anyone guess what it is?? Its a pretty easy guess.

Also to end the totally epic day I went and saw this dreamy, sexy piece of all Irish man meat;

As you can see we were NEARLY up the front. Also found out that a lot of girls don't know how to be at a concert. How much space do you really need I mean come on? If you can fit at least one person in between you and the next person, its too much and you should go home. No really, go home...

You know how everyone gets a freebie? Well he is now a close second to my number one. Clint Boge. Since he is my obsession, I probably let you readers know about him straight away.

If forever exists,
Inside me it where you belong

 

HAHA that is a song lyric but I guess you could take it literally. Anyone who is shocked by my behavior don't worry my bf totally understands and supports my obsession.

Attack of the germs!

So not much happened today. I worked. I watched the sunny weather from my jail that was work. The sunny weather though has NOT unfortunately helped the germs spreading and making everyone sick! Its at uni, at work, in my bf, in my friends, I swear soon I'm going to become obsessed with hand sanitizer. So instead of the crazy I'm going with the practical and building my immune system up. Today I made a fruit salad with these yummy fruits;

My watermelon decided it didn't want to be eaten so decided to stay at the check out. Watever, its not like i missed your watery melon goodness. The other fruits were glad you were not there! The end.

Its Burwood...Are we safe?

Soooo this is what I was confronted with when I went to put the sign out at work today.

It has been abused severely and it looks like someone has snapped it in a fit of anger. AND only last week some hooligans tried to smash the front window and break in. I call them the wheelie bin thieves because they steal peoples wheelie bins to use to put the stolen merchandise in. So considering that my work is 3 shops down from a cop shop, these are bold acts. Is Burwood safe? There was a time when the only dangers seemed to be trying to get to Warrigle road before getting a tram ticket so its zone one or daring to cross Burwood hwy without the green man or those pesky undercover cop cars or people calling vegetarian, vagetarian. But now there are physically abused signs, smashed windows and stolen wheelie bins. Do you like what you are becoming Burwood? I do not....

Beverley Harper & green gold.

So I was wondering in what direction other then the randomness of my head that this blog can take and I realized I do have loves that might be useful for you to read about. Books and computer games. This also includes Xbox and maybe playstation 3 games. So mixed in with the aspects of my day that I share there will also be some book and game reviews. 

First author I am going to be reviewing is Beverley Harper. This is one special lady. She was born in Australia and moved to Africa and was only going to spend one year there. She spent 20. Her memories of Africa have provided the inspiration for her best-selling novels. She died of cancer in 2002 and I have started a collection of her novels. 

Her books are obviously based in Africa and most have individual stories with a couple that are related family wise but a good 20 years down the track. If you do not like books that are descriptive then maybe these are not for you as to fully immerse yourself in the African cultural feeling then you need a fair bit of scenery description as well as background culture description such as the history of the Zulu people etc. Even though are fully fiction the books do tread on issues such as racism and a lot of animal welfare as poaching is a major issue in Africa. If you like to learn about Africa politically from both sides of the fence then these books are also a must read. I learnt a lot about Africa from reading these books as Beverley can mix the right amount of drama and non fiction input. Even though Bryce Courtenay is still my number one Africa based novelist, Beverley is a close second. My favourite book is this one;

 

 This book is based in 1945 onwards and is following the two families King and Mpande. One white, one Zulu. A bit conventionally the Kings own a sugar cane farm and the Mpandes work on the farm. The story is based around two of the sons that become friends and follows the difficulty and rewards of having a out of race friendship. I highly recommend these books!

On another note this is one of the best juices I have ever had;

Its sold at this place called cupcake central, which by the way sells the most AMAZING cupcakes ever made. Made with all natural ingredients and free range eggs. So this juice range comes in around 7 flavors and one day I went to pick one and of course I would pass on the one that looks like wheat grass and vomit. But the nice man swore that it was the best, and it was! Its pretty much a mix of apple, banana, oranges and kiwifruit and this thing called 'spirulina' which im not sure what it is but im guessing a replacement for sugar. Its only 0.3% of the total ingredients, all the rest is fruit. Its a New Zealand company so not that local but if you manage to see it, give it a go! its 2 servings of fruit!

Hey guys!!

This is my first blog and to my surprise this tells me when I have written incorrect words YAY! Well I do not expect anyone to read this as I do not believe it will be interesting enough but I red somewhere that blogs are good for something. I cant remember what, but that's probably a result of my really short attention span. P.S if you read this, I have bad grammar. Don't judge me or I will hulk smash you.

My dad told me once that never believe that anyone thinks the same way as you do and you will succeed. I have been contemplating this today as I also had my Japanese culture class today which I have learnt that Japanese people have to conform to group mentality. This directly contradicts to what my dad is saying as they believe the only way to succeed is to never stand out. Everyone has to seem to think the same way and if you don't, please try too. See now i'm getting into deep territory because I am now putting my dads word against a whole societies way of thinking. I want to put some Japanese words in here but I don't know if you can change the language. Can someone help?? Well anyway do you think that anyone else thinks the same way as you do? I don't and that was my first inspiration to start a blog.

My second inspiration was this;

It is a letter from my amazing friend from the land of sheepys (yes I know it's not a word). This lovely person took the time out her day to write a letter and post it. It made me so happy but sad as well as when was it that I went from receiving letters either from my girlies in between high school classes or sent to my house from a boy just because to only receiving bills and centrelink letters in my mail. Maybe no one will care about what I write but maybe just having something creative written down will help me in some way. If you do not understand that's ok because no one thinks the same way I do :) Wow I do get how thinking like that can make you succeed, if you can accept that you are truly individual then whats holding you back? Nothing, no prejudices, no racism, no generalizations, if I can believe that no one is every going to be like me and that's ok, then I have absolutely no one to compare myself to because there isn't anyone like me. Thank's dad!

This is what I did tonight

My first ever uni night market!! It was full of great stuff, I saw lots of shoes I wanted but unfortunately I'm a bigfoot so there was only small peoples sizes :( Some of the stuff was really overpriced though and made me wish that my friends and I had made a stall, we have sooo much stuff we could of sold. Good people, ok music and a pretty funky atmosphere made for a pretty good night!

This is what I bought;

$5 for both!!! I also got a skirt for $5 as well!!

Well thats all for tonight because its time for bed and I have a Kanji test tomorrow that I am getting up early for to study now. sigh.
