GRAD-SKIEZ...

just call me girl haha but now it's all official that i'm a graduate with a bachelor of visual imaging, majoring in photography. goodtimes. the whole day is over-rated, i just loved the fact that i got to spend some QT with my papa bear, step momz, and my brother & sister. (who got up & did a haka thingy when i walked across the stage to get capped, much to j.skywalker's delight hahaha)

it's over and i'm glad. what an expensive piece of paper. bring it on 2009.

KINGS OF LEON IN NEW ZEALAND...

i now know what the KOL boys look like. went to the concert in wellyz with j.skywalker & her crew and OMG!!!!!! i loved it!i even put in the effort to rock out to the songs i didn't know (mainly because the guy next to me yelled and me, which was totally uncalled for) and i knew that ll my crazy dancing, jumping around and hair flicks were pissing him off haha

the award for most random pick up-line goes to the pre-pubecent teen with acne who called me out at mcdonalds and said "oi, my mate would rape you because you're wearing pink pants." mmmm. good luck for the girl who falls for you in the future with that kind of smoothness.

all in all, waaaay cooler than my chris breezy & rih-rih experience, cooler than an ice-cube, but i would have to draw the line at saying it was cooler than a t-rex. i mean, come on. nothing is cooler than a t-rex.

MagnumMac Newmarket Store - Auckland

THE MAGNUM MAC STORE IN AUCKLAND SUCKS!!!!

damn straight i'm calling you guys out! you guys totally pissed me off. i could be a dick and say it was because i'm brown. (and no doubt, that was partially why) but service is service and your service was SHIT!

i needed help with transferring everything from my ibook to my macbook pro and was having trouble with the migration assistant. so rani and i visted the magnum mac store in newmarket, (after i googled the address lolz)

walked in, and saw about 6 people on the shop floor. they all glanced up at me, and then turned away to look extremly busy. i had to wander around and spotted the token brown guy that worked there and asked for help. he was all like, "umm.. uh.. wait i'll just go ask..." comes back 5mins later and says, yea he can do it for me.

then another dude comes up behind him and says to me (in an arrogant tone) "you're meant to go to the serivce desk" (as if i was supposed to know)

so we walked to the back of the store, i asked another dude if he could do what i wanted and he said, "ummm.. yea i think so. that'll be $140 an hour" so i asked, "and how long do you think it will take?" to which his reply was, "i dunno". so i told him all i actually wanted was to transfer my i-tunes library. then i get the, "wait i'll just go ask my boss" and he comes back to tell me that it's illegal and no it cannot be done.

i thought to myself, i bet it can you asshole, but whatevz. bet he burns music all the time. wanker. anyways, i ask if they have photoshop and he finally can answer a question of mine without running to his boss. (the answer was "yes") and then i asked how much it was, which he shrugged his shoulders to, then pointed to the front of the store and said "it's up there on the top left hand corner of the shelf if you wanna know"...

by this time i was totally pissed, because i was standing at the service desk and hellz no was i getting any service! so i got my complaining pants on and then the manager came to apologize, but it was too late. they lost this customer when they didn't greet me when i walked in to their stupid store.

all i have to conclude with is: "fuck you magnum mac newmarket. i don't need you stupid help, because my viet kong homies at the apple store in HCMC have agreed to hook me up with both itunes library transfer AND photoshop, for about $45 USD. god bless the asians hahaha"

SELF PORTRAIT...

ho-lee i haven't been on here for awhile! being back home has put me on el-depresso mode hard out! but a couple of things have made me smile while being here:

1. catching up with the friendizzles (& re-connecting with old ones i though i'd lost touch with)

2. catching up with the whanau @ my sisters 21st (more detailed post to come)

3. getting my new laptop as a grad present (i was grumpy ALL morning, even j sky-walker told me to pull my head in & stop being a sulky pants haha... but i couldn't help it. you try balancing 2 sides of the family lolz)

4. kings of leon concert in wellyz

CAN YOU COME ANOTHER WEEKEND INSTEAD?

he's coming.
i'm going.
if it's not meant to be.
then it's not to be.



BUT I REALLY WANT IT TO BE!!!! hahahha



awwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!! :(

wtf does he have a game here the weekend that i'll be at my sisters 21st?! DAMIT!!! it would be different if i was outta the country. but because i AM here it just toooootally rips me that i'm gonna miss out on any opportunity. arrrrrrrrgggggggh!!!

SNAPS FOR THE KIDS...

i'm back- it sucks. but this video made me smile.



lovez tha kid in the orange shorts.

"WHO IS THIS?"

i got the most random "who is this?" txt today, from none other than 'he who should not be named'. i hadn't thought of him for aaaaaages and i get that bloody txt. of course you know that set me off.

i played along at first: "how'd you get this number? who is this?" in fear that on the other side was an insane-o girlfriend out for blood after finding a number on his phone. the reply i got told me it was actually him, so i got my txt on today lolz.

he's back in the country to play ball again this season. (i sooooo told him he'd come back during our final meeting.) but DAMN! i won't be here to stalk him this season hahaha (and yes, i told him that too.)

didn't get into anything too deep, kept it light a casual. i tried to ask questions about his move across the ditch but didn't much out of him. (i was digging for the "oh yea i'm engaged/have a baby" bombshell... but he's just as good as i am and didn't let on.)

he asked when i was leaving again & just told me what he was doing what he said he was gonna do the last time we met, how much he enjoyed it and how good the money was.

then he finished that txt with "i shall see you around sometime". and i thought to myself WTF? no you won't. hahaha. but i entertained the thought of "what if" for just a split second. (i am only human! ha!)

CHRISTINA MILLIAN GETS RATED/SLATED BY THE BOYS...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!




this shit is funny. i know it's not good to laugh at someone elses expense, but you gotta admit that it's waaaaay funnier if you do.

looking forward to kicking it with the boys when i get home now.

(if the video don't work click here.)



this is why they were mocking her:


i don't blame them, she's practically a walking billboard BEGGING for it lolz

RIBBON IN THE SKY...

since beyonce sung "at last" for the inauguration ball, i've been having to look for a new "1st dance" wedding song. (i haven't even begun looking for the dance partner yet lolz)

i came across this one, and decided i'll have to invite stevie wonder to my wedding 'coz no-one sings it better hahahaha

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS...

I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME... does that make me heartless? i'm soooo not looking forward to all the family politics that awaits. i anticipate that alot of shit will go down in my fam bam during the month of march. my papa bear said he'll send me plane tickets to fly up north this weekend. that will settle me back into the swing of things and prepare me (hopefully) for what is to come.

haven't been sleeping properly because:

a) i don't know what the hell i'm going to talk about during my speech at my step-sisters 21st

b) i still haven't learned all of the siva samoa that i'm to perform at her 21st

c) i haven't even STARTED learning the maori waiata that our family is getting up to perform

d) i don't know what the hell i'm wearing for grad

e) i'm actually DREADING grad...

f) i'm dreading grad dinner the most though

g) i requested that my dad and my step-mum pick me up from the airport so we can have a "family meeting" in the car without any of the kids, during the hour drive home so i can explain the family politics and all the shit that's going down on mumzy's side of the famz

h) i don't know how i'm gonna start that conversation or what i'm actually gonna say

i) i just don't wanna get on that plane back to NZ tomorrow lolz

so yea, that's all that's going on in my head at the mo',

INTERESTING...

(won't stop me from wearin' em though!)
