I am terrible!

I LOVE the idea of blogging, but having the actual time to sit down and reflect, I find extremely hard!

Currently awaiting more photo's from Bali (when I arrived in Bali I realised that my camera was kapoot. Heart. Broken) so until then, my posts have been put off.

I better pick up my blogging game!

Just a little something to brighten up your Sunday! I laughed, and laughed, and laughed when I saw this. How silly!

En route to Bali

21st of April 2011

The holiday has officially begun! It started at 6am with a rude awakening by the alarm clock. Al and I stretched out of bed and reluctantly tip toed into the shower. All clean and hair washed , final check that I had everything packed, we were on our way to the airport with the Pullan's. One Robertson and Rafati in tow.

Such a novelty being able to write 'INDONESIA' in 'country where you will spend most time abroad'

Now let me tell you, traveling with only carry on baggage is quite the challenge! I'm not only talking about not being able to fit everything in the one minuscule bag,  fighting with yourself over what shoes to take, having to carefully plan an outfit for ever day (we females need options!) the problem is having to lug around and lift your bags onto the scanning machines, removing all liquids/laptops/iPads. It kills! I mean seriously mister customs man, would you like me to just unpack and then re pack for you? I mean I'm only being rushed along by about eight hundred other eager holiday-ers and temperamental officers!

All of that aside, we're finally sitting happily on the plane, all buckled up. I was waiting so patiently to begin my journey to this foreign land (literally), I fell asleep before take off. I. Konked. Out. I have come to the conclusion that it is absolutely inevitable feeling like a 90 year old who is riddled with arthritis after sleeping on a plane (mind you, this generally only happens in economy/cattle class/seating area for peasants/screaming children galore). I watched 'Burlesque', amazing! Absolutely obsessed! Al wasn't too pleased when I announced that I now want to become a famous burlesque dancer haha! Plane food was consumed, another nana nap resulting in a killer neck, and now seven hours later we are slowly beginning to descend into Singapore! Although.. Drum roll please.. We were moved up to business class for landing! WIN! What an ever so comfy and stylish exit!

On the plane - ready to begin our adventure!

I best be off, will write more once we begin the most exciting leg of the trip - SINGAPORE --> BALI!
Ahhh.. Back to the tropics!

(I didn't have all that much time in Bali to finish the rest of my blogs for each day, but I'll be sure to put them up in the next 24 hours or so)

Procrastination..

Evaluate,

THIS IS YOUR LIFE.
DO WHAT YOU LOVE,
AND DO IT OFTEN.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, CHANGE IT.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR JOB, QUIT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME, STOP SITTING ON FACEBOOK.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, STOP;
THEY WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU WHEN YOU
START DOING THINGS YOU LOVE.
STOP OVER ANALYSING, ALL EMOTIONS ARE BEAUTIFUL.
WHEN YOU EAT, APPRECIATE EVERY LAST BITE.
LIFE IS SIMPLE.
OPEN YOUR MIND, ARMS, AND HEART TO NEW THINGS
AND PEOPLE, WE ARE UNITED IN OUR DIFFERENCES.
ASK THE NEXT PERSON YOU SEE WHAT THEIR PASSION IS,
AND SHARE YOUR INSPIRING DREAM WITH THEM.
TRAVEL OFTEN;
GETTING LOST WILL HELP YOU FIND YOURSELF.
SOME OPPORTUNITIES ONLY COME ONCE, SEIZE THEM.
LIFE IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU MEET, AND
THE THINGS YOU CREATE WITH THEM
SO GO OUT AND START CREATING.
LIVE YOUR DREAM,
AND WEAR
YOUR PASSION.
LIFE IS SHORT.

Dear happy thoughts

IT TAKES THREE CHARCTERS TO FROWN  }:(
BUT ONLY TWO TO SMILE :)

So be happy, today and every other day. It's easy.

Dear 'Jerry'

I am horrified to admit that the other day I failed to resist the temptation of texting into 'Who is Jerry?'. You know those things you see advertised in magazines that say "Text yours and your partners name for only $3.50 and we will tell you your love calculation! Amazing results! *conditions apply*" (they regret to tell you that they will continue to charge you weekly. Read the conditions! On the other hand, if you're stupid enough to be dragged into the scam, good luck to you and your phone bill)


'Jerry' boasts that whatever your question may be, Jerry will give you the answer! Keeping in mind Jerry knows exactly who you are. Here I am at work, mucking around with friends thinking to myself "Ha! Very funny! Lets see what you can tell me about me Jerry!". To my utmost dismay, five minutes later I received a text back telling me what my fashion style is, I won't mention names but somebody close to me who 'needs the fashion police before seeing her (me)' and that 'Alistair Pullan loves this chick. HOT ;)'. Okay, I must admit, I had a laugh, I was impressed and then hooked. Bad, bad, bad. I then went on to ask 'What do people think of Phoebe Robertson from Toorak?' I'm not going to repeat what was said but let me tell you, I was then completely and utterly FREAKED OUT! First thing I asked myself, more like screamed at myself was "How the f*** does this person know this?!!!" It is absolutely beyond me!

I did a little research (once again with my trusty little friend we like to call Google), and it seems as though I wasn't the only person who was worried about this 'person' knowing too much information. There was a huge uproar when 'Jerry' first came about. Although the reality is somewhat more of a giggle. With the ever expanding use of social media services and shared personal information publicly available nowadays, society tends to forget that personal information is; in fact, not personal any more once you have entered it in somewhere.  It lives electronically potentially into perpetuity. 


Can you say scary? Yes sir.


Personal check list:

• Increase Facebook privacy (get Megan to do this)
• Change all passwords
• Check old Myspace account for privacy settings/contemplate deleting
• Last but not least, HUNT JERRY DOWN!

Daily thought

I have been meaning to write about something that is really important to me, but to be honest I haven't had the guts to just sit down and just write about it. For what reason? I have no idea. Am I afraid of being judged? (by my millions of followers and fans, cough cough Megan and Al haha) or maybe its just the fact that I keep suppressing the thought in hope that it goes away. I think I'm sticking with the second reason. I promise blogging world, I will sit my toosh down one day and do it. Thats a pinky promise.

Instead, I thought I would share with you my daily thought, something I realised I was thankful for and wrote down whilst doodling away this evening

P.s Is it just me or is blogging actually really quite difficult? Blogspot.com should have come with a warning that designing your blog may be a problem for blondes. Help is needed!

My head is a jungle

That feeling when you have so many bloody thoughts flying through your head it is surprising they don't collide into each other and form one super thought that wants to take over the world. 

So many emotions pulling you in different directions simultaneously that your brain starts to resemble Stretch Armstrong..

When you have a to do list that grows so rapidly, that three more things are added to it in the time that you form a tick with your pen next to one of the items..

Well, that is generally how I feel 24/7 at the moment.

Brain is broken and fried, exhausted and confused.

Ahhh the negativity! Sod off!
