STRIKING GOLD...

man i love the feeling! hahaha went to church with nana this morning (it's the 2nd sunday of advent = peace if you wanted to know) went back to her place and was doing my usual rummage thru the closets, tryna find something i could work with.

found this old retro orange suit case that i used to play dress ups with when i was little and that is were i found all my goddamn treasure hahaha... seriously, all these pretty half slips, petticoats, cute summer dresses and skirts that belonged to mumzy and her sisters back in the day.

i was like BOO-YAH! that's me! so now they're all in the wash and i'm so excited to have new clothes!

mumzy got back from auckz this morning. her hair looks good. since i had the house to myself last night i had a quiet smoke, peppermint tea and just chillaxed. it was awesome hahaha

i know it's been out for awhile, but i just caught rihanna & j.t's rehab video on C4. i hate to admit it, (since i'm on strike from her) but it's pretty hott. her outfits remind me of what my aunties used to wear hahaha if it was her by herself, i wouldn't like it. but since j.t is in it, adds that sexual flavour to it lmao (and no, i wouldn't do justin timberlake. he's just hott)

an i know this is probs ancient now, (you'll get used to the fact that i only cotton on to stuff waaaaay after it's had it's 15mins of fame) but i'm liking nelly's "stepped on my jays" song with j.d & ciara. (hahaha maybe i was i was just blazed?!)

that's my ridiculously laid back weekend i had. peace!

KICKING BACK IN THE HOOD...

so mumzy flew up to the city of sails early this morning to get her hair done, and conveniently txt me to say "nana's in a funny mood, so yea... give her a call" turns out that she was just up-set 'coz she just found out that one of my aunties (her neice) has a rare form of blood cancer. so she was just bummed that we couldn't go to napier to visit since mumzy had gone. (i said that i'd drive *ahem* with no license) but she wasn't keen on the idea.

anyways, after spin i headed over to just chillax with nana and spend some QT with her. i basically read all day (the book dad bought me for my birthday haha it's pretty good... meanwhile i bet my entire famz is enjoying alicia keys in concert tonight.. jealous much?! haha)

nana gardened 'coz it was another gorgeous day, and the street was really peaceful. i am assuming that everyone was at the christmas parade today. during the afternoon, nana tells me to walk to the shop to buy the weekend paper for her and an icecream for myself, 'coz i need the exercise lolz (i was like, oi i went to the gym this morning!!)

i was gonna take j-skywalkers i-pod with me, but decided not to just incase i got jumped or something hahahaha (it's really not that bad, i was just over-reacting but i still left it at home lolz)

walking to the shops always reminds me of my days in primary school. going through the alley way and over the bridge bought back memories of going over to rani's place to pick her up before we walked to school together. i enjoy the walk (it's like 5mins) but i still get scared when i go past the state houses that have teens sitting on the porch in their colours, pitbulls growling in the front yard... i always jump when a door slams and cross the street when i hear shouting hahahaha

i wonder what it's like to live like that... then i wondered why some people turn out "good" and some people turn out "bad". if we all come out of the same so-called hood, then why don't we come out all the same? it goes from one extreme to another with the people that i know. from the hard core christians to the dealers in jail. there are the ones that have been bought up in the church, but then go off the rails. the ones who were once all gangsta but are now preachers of the good word. the ones who just come from trashy families, and continue the trashy-ness. the ones that we thought had it made, but astonished with the path the choose instead.

then it made me smile to think of all the "hot people" from the hood, that were now basically losers lmao seriously though, would you rather peak at high school and be nothing for the rest of your life, or be a nobody at high school and be the best for the rest of your life? what you were at high school means shit all when you get into the real world. it's not so bad here compared to the states, but i think it's trickling in.

i think it's got to do with balance. the way you've been bought up, where you've been bought up, experiences through time, your own thoughts and feelings on matters, stuff like that aye?

gotta say, that i had the best ice-cream from the dairy tho'. i changed it up from getting the usual 2 scoops of cookies'n'creme & goodie gum drops to goodie gum drops & passionfruit swirl haha man it was good!!! (most gum drops i've had in awhile too!)

found another skirt at nana's that i can alter for my "vintage summer collection" hahaha this whole sewing thing is awesome. i just cut up everyone's old clothes up and sew them back to styles that are more "today"... got some pretty skirts in the process. and i've just gone on to a totally different tangent. sorry!

i'll leave it here then. peace!

I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK... I'M SORRY!!!

SHIT! i totally take what i said in my last post back.

this morning, after i took a shower ('coz i got up and went to spin) i walked across my room over the multitudes of clothes strewn over my floor (which i was meant to pick up yesterday but put it off) and then i heard a sickning *crunch*. i was hoping it was a belt buckle, or sunglasses but i knew imediately what it was- my hair straightner. :'(

i almost had a cry, (i didn't though, honest!) and then i thought back to the last post and i totally take it back. i'm sorry! fix my straightner universe & good karma! please!!! i said one or the other, not BOTH at the same time!

if i had a job, i'd all be like, "oh well, it happens"... then go out and buy another one. but i DON'T! so i CAN'T! damit. why me? i wonder if dad will buy me one for christmas. doubt it. he'll probs buy me another book. ARRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! i am so screwed.

ok, and now the trashy neighbours over the back fence are having a domestic. good times!

WOULD YOU RATHER- BAD HAIR DAY THAT LASTS A YEAR? OR DIAL-UP?

i'd choose the former. and that's pretty hard out considering i love my hair.

holy crap i had alot to talk about today but the fact that i've used all my broadband and i'm on dial up has made me forget it all. my life on the net has been so s-l-o-w today. it's totally killing me. (no really)

for example- usually it takes like 2mins max to down load a song. today 53mins. ludacris! i am not exageratting either. every single thing lags behind, takes more than a minute to download, and i can't even get pictures! it's like being back in prehistoric times. except, it would've been way more fun back then, 'coz i'd be hanging out with dinosaurs. not twiddling my thumbs, waiting for a page to download! THIS IS KILLING ME!

what am i meant to do with my un-employed ass if i can't surf the net all day?! day time tv sucks! today, i wrote CHRISTMAS CARDS to everyone i had so much spare time on my hands. man i miss school :(

i watched last night's re-run of home and away this morning and have come to the conclusion that the cop called angelo looks like my friend, who's actually flying out to california tomorrow (to play rugby) and will be back in may. he's pretty hott so no wonder why i'm hooked on the tv programme i used to loathe.

there is nothing edible in the cupboards because tomorrow is grocery day. we don't even have bread... but we've got lamb chops (weird!) haha i'm hungry but not really down for weight watches snack bars that mumzy has.

i still think dial up is worse than being hungry. if i don't post for awhile, it's 'coz dial up is really grinding my bones hahahaha stone the flaming crows!

peace

LINGO...

ok i'm gonna start this "b defined" tag so kiwi's can understand the words/sayings which are influenced by the states, and for people to understand our kiwi colloquialisms & lingo. (i think it's actually just so i understand what i'm saying myself lmao)

don't take it as the final say. i probs won't have any references (except for say, good old wikipedia & urban dictionary.com haha) here's some to get you started:

choice – excellent! great idea!

dairy - convenience store

eh! – used for emphasis at the end of a sentence, eh! (see note above on Māori influence. A similar but not identical usage is found in Canadian English). i spell it "aye" personally. it's just pronounced like the letter: "A"

flash – cool, "you look flash", their new tv is "flash"

flatting – sharing a flat (apartment or rented house)

fly - cool, in style / something or someone that is particularly attractive

jandals - thongs (aus) - flipflops

swag - apperance, style, or the way he or she presents them selves

togs - bathers/cossies (aus) - swimwear
