lists

i've just realised that my last few posts were about things i need to do, things i want to do,and so on. nothing wrong with that but i've also realised that i've stopped being so bitchy about people. i do still complain once in a while if i something displeases me, and yes that includes people who have displeased me. (WAAA self-reflection) but whatever.
 
there's not much to complain really. besides the fact that i'm poor most of the time here since a huge amount of my allowance goes to accomodation. and yes i'm still looking for a job. SOMEBODY HIRE ME!
 
onto more interesting topics (for me at least)
 
KICKBOXING
 
ohoo...i started last week and i absolutely LOVE it. i've never tried it before but its so much fun. its a complete body workout and i sweat buckets after and its fucking tough but MAN OH MAN do i love it. i swear. and i love throwing hooks. thats the best part so far. i cant wait to start kicking. and my instructor said i'm like "a duck taking to water" when he saw my hooks :) OH SO PROUD!! and he said "you've done this before havent you? in a bar somewhere?" he said that last week AND this week. SO PROUD!
 
i feel like i'm not strong enough yet. YET. i really would like to continue with this workout cause i just fucking love it. i know i sound like i'm exaggerating and when you see me in 6 months i might still look like the flabby alli you all know (and possibly love/hate - take your pick)  but i can throw a mean right hook :D
 
i've seen the guys in the more advanced classes. and all i can say is WOW. you do NOT wanna be on the receiving end of their kicks or punches. cause they kick/punch the air out of the bags. and it looks real intense. REAL intense. i'm so impressed seeing them at it. i think i just look like some deranged little freak who laughs and smiles maniacally the moment we start doing hooks.
 
i have no idea where i can continue with this in kuching though. i really want to. and i'm considering saving up for a pair of my own gloves and wraps and what not. its so awesome. maybe i've finally found a sport i like. so archery and badminton can SUCK IT cause i'm kicking and punching the air out of heavy bags. if anyone knows where i can continue this in kuching please let me know because i'm serious about pursuing this.  but i dont see myself joining matches or whatever. i just like hitting bags. i feel pretty sore now, but i think it was SO worth it.
 
so dont nobody piss me off. now i gots the skillz to really kick the shits out of you. if you thought it was bad enough i can go ballistic when i'm mad, now you really got a reason to run from me.  
 
if anyone else has ever wanted to take up kickboxing, i say GO FOR IT. you might enjoy it, and for all you know, you might be good at it.  
 
as is customary on this blog, let me go on about things i need to do before i end this post.
 
  • must do eyebrows
  • must find bedside table
  • must read up for lectures esp about that freire guy
  • must buy groceries - now that the money has come in i can feed myself again
  • must build up strength to kick the shits out of people bags
  • MUST FIND JOB
oh apparently sheryll is on facebook. WOW! thats SO COOL! i LOVE SHERYLL! sure she'll pick you up and shake you to make you work hard in education courses but she is amazing. so much knowledge stored in her head and so many things to manage - how DOES SHE DO IT??
 
well thats about it for now. take care where you are and i hope many many good things come your way. but if i dont like you then that wish doesnt apply to you. may an opportunity for me to kick your ass come your way. or at least give you a bloody nose and a black eye. wouldnt that be sweet?

happy easter 2008

easter weekend here kicked off to a pretty awesome start with dee's DEELOLA BUNNY LOVE'S LINGERIE PARTY. many many thanks to dee for organising such a great get together/slumber party. good times :) that was thursday and on friday we had a little picnic in the domain involving fruits and booze. needless to say, yours truly got pretty smashed. i love my fruits, what can i say? crashed at hunnie's place since i was in no state to stumble back to my place. came back yesterday and took it slow here. no, i didnt have a hangover. but i did clean up my room, somewhat and did a little laundry. so now i gots clean clothes again, yay! i'm gross like that, i know.
 
next thing to do, get a job to finance my ridiculously poor student lifestyle.
 
have a good easter, everyone :)
 
OH DID I MENTION I TOOK UP KICKBOXING? :)

we're on a roll

so the first assignment and first test of this semester were both over and done with by today. things are on a roll and soon there'll be an assignment due almost every week. that and tests. BRING IT ON!
 
pardon me, i'm a little bored. i also feel that i can handle uni life a lot better now, probably cause i can and will do what i want when i want to. of course i may not have this luxury anymore if i get a job. speaking of which, i need to find one cause i am becoming very very broke. and living off pasta is definitely not fun.
 
i hate to sound vain, but i think i've lost weight since coming back to auckland, what with the amount of walking i do here. auckland can be so beautiful when its sunny and warm, so i feel like its such a waste of lovely weather not to be out and about doing things. or just sitting under a tree. once it starts to get cold, i doubt we'd be doing this much. no more short skirts then? well...
 
i've kinda realised i'm a skirt person too. short skirts, actually. not that i mind. or iain, for that matter :P  
 
tomorrow's going to be the busiest day of the week for me. after that there are no classes on thursday and then its EASTER BREAK :D

must buy wall hooks

there are some things that i need to do for this room that i really should get round to doing. but there's always other things that are FAR more interesting than that. so i think i'd wait till i cant stand the mess. then i shall take it upon myself to pick up all the clothes that are on the floor and hang them up on hooks or do my laundry.
 
oh i am such an interesting person - i blog about cleaning my room :P
 
NOTE TO SELF: MUST FIND JOB. SOON.
 
there was the blood donation drive today at uni, and i'm so glad to say that i finally donated :) its not like i've been putting it off or anything, but every time there's a blood drive somewhere, i'm either A) having my period, B) missed it by a few hours or C) have not eaten/gotten something new pierced. now dont get me wrong, its not like i poke a hole in myself every few weeks. if you want to donate blood you have to wait at least 6 months after you've gotten a new piercing or tattoo. its also kind of a cause i believe in, cause you never know how you could help someone out there just by giving people a little bit of your blood. now the last time i donated blood was a few years ago to get a free food hamper (now thats a GREAT deal if you ask me). and after i donated, there was a bruise around the puncture mark. pretty bad one too. but this time round, there's just the puncture wound and barely a bruise. dont ask me why.
 
oh if you smoke, you have to wait at least an hour after donating because apparently smoking thins the blood and increases the chances of bleeding. no alcohol directly after either, but thats just common sense.
 
its a friday night and i just got back from hanging out with friendss. sometimes i just cant stand being at home so much, cause i'd most likely just be using up my bandwidth online. and getting mad at my computer for freezing up on me. GOD i hate this computer sometimes.
 
found and read the book on THE GREATEST MAN ALIVE - chuck norris. quite a fun read. and i finally bought THE PENGUIN OF DEATH by edward monkton :) if you're ever in my apartment, make sure you ask me about it. i'll be more than happy to let you read this book. its so fun.
 
i just realised this morning that this is the FIRST semester EVER when i bought ALL the books for my courses. ALL. MY. BOOKS. thats NOT CHEAP. and i better get on with my reading after spending that amount of money on them. apparently the yearly book allowance will only be given in JULY. great.
 
MUST FIND JOB. if only to kill time.
 
have a good weekend everyone :)

trimming the fat

if the last entry seemed confusing maybe this one will clear it up.
 
i have recently made a decision - that i want to keep all unnecessary negativity out of my life. i dont need it, and it certainly doesnt need me. hence the bridge and the burning. i have also come to realise that when it comes to people, you really dont know whats going on under their skins. seriously.
 
i have better things to do. i dont need this negativity.
 
i only have one thing to say to this Harbinger of Negativity: GO AWAY. if you dont like yourself, dont take it out on the rest of the world. for taking sides with The Douchebag, i think a well deserved FUCK OFF is in order. you're being a douchebag yourself. stop being such a girl trying to hide behind the computer screen. i can tell you're freaking lonely and miserable. if you have a problem with something, fucking say you do. stop being such a bitch about it and say one thing but mean another. if you have a problem with what i'm saying, go on and comment - i know you want to, and you know who you are.

thank you, and goodnight.

first week's DAAAAAAMN busy

so uni has began and since i live about 10 mins away from uni, i know how quiet this area was over last weekend. then came monday, and i had class at 8 in the morning (I know). since it was still early, uni still was a little empty. THEN CAME 10 o clock. and wooooah. where did all these people come from??
 
its crazy! FTVMS lecture was packed. it was one of the bigger lecture theaters, if not the biggest, and it was pretty much filled up.
 
i'm thinking if i manage my time properly this semester i just might be able to do well.
 
then again i think like that at every semester's beginning :P old habits and dying hard, y'know.
 
oh god i gotta get a job, if only to fill up time. but if i do try out for foodtown, i have no choice but to manage my time properly. i doubt i'd wanna be a cleaner again, especially with my back "at risk"
 
went out shopping yesterday for this one hoodie i had been eyeing since i found out that the shop was having a sale and ended up buying 2 hoodies instead. the salesgirl was so helpful to point out this other too-cute hoodie that i just had to have. if you know me, then you know i think hoodies can look frumpy. OH SO FRUMPY. so you KNOW That when i DO get hoodies, they're either free (and frumpy) or super cute that you'd have to get them too! i might post up pics of my hoodies if ever i have pictures of me taken with them.
 
enough about hoodies. my plans today were thwarted (thwart also means that thingy in the boats, did you know?) when it started to RAIN and rain the whole day. besides i was tired so i just slept the afternoon away. fingers crossed this thursday the gods of rain and wind (i think its tawhirimatea?) would be merciful and we can frolic in the sun at the beach :)
 
got to go now, do some reading and manage my time (roll eyes, grit teeth)

school starts

uni starts again tomorrow. and i guess i'm ready. just stayed at home today and tried to tidy up as much as i could, though i think i wrecked a lamp i bought recently.
 
good news: i DID pick the right bulb for the lamp. they dont sell the bulbs with the lamps here for some odd reason, but all's good.
 
i need to get a job, just to fill up my schedule. being so free like this is just driving me a little bit nuts. besides, i could use the money.
