If I Had A Credit Card.....

"Love is a moment that lasts forever..."
- Julie Wittey

If I had a credit card, oh no, it would be a nightmare!? Maybe....?

But yes, I just got home from watching Confessions of A Shopaholic with my friend. It was good and quite funny. I love Isla Fisher! She is so cute and adorable but that scene where she is trying to retrieve the letter that she accidentally sent to Aletta or something.. that was soo painful to watch! >.<

But I think overall it was a good movie! Awesome chick flick definitely!

And I have actually been thinking of like doing reviews of movies that I see.... coz I have kind of seen quite a few movies lately and actually having an opinion! Haha.. XD

But, anyways updates, updates... not much... nothing exciting has been happening much in my life.. it's just been uni, uni and more uni with the occasional sociality~ but not much coz I have been poor (up till recently..) and quite busy....

Oooh, what has been exciting is that I AM OUT OF OVERDRAFT!! ^^ YAY! I actually have MONEY in my account hehe. That's nice ;) And.. that's about it really.

Oooh I met up with some old friends from high school that I haven't seen in like AGES!! (One year to be exact) and that was very awesome. Omg... the conversation topics have like changed soo much and quite a few of my friends from high school are getting married and like just living life! Life is happening and er, yeah.. it's kind of exciting yet scary at the same time.. ><

I think there was something that I was to mention.. that I wanted to mention but I have forgotten it... -__-

Well. That's all. Oh! I attended a wedding ceremony of my Dad's family friend last weekend and it was, I thikn my first wedding ceremony that I've attended.. that I've remembered? But yeah, it was nice... so nice that I nearly cried!? >< I stopped myself though... but yeah... I guess I have reached that part of my life...... or I'm getting old =_= lol..

But anyways, to end this entry (that is very delayed), carrying on from the theme from the rest of the day, I will be going out with some more friends from high school and I'm just really looking forward to catching up with them and maybe also drinking (:P) and going out.. as I haven't gone out in SO long! But yeah.. :)

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend and I really kind of should post more..... but sooo busy... kind of T_T

Ｓｔｕｄｙ．

A Social Butterfly.... Sorta. Kinda. Maybe..

“What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!”
-Alfred Adler

This past (and also this coming weekend, Saturday) has been quite the social butterfly going out regularly.... in the city... oh, so sucks that I'm not living there anymore. Gonna miss it.

Which speaking of which, this weekend have organised cleaning.... really gonna miss it! Oh well. The close of one door leads to an opening of another~ =]

This past week included.... a kareoke trip (so awesome! I <3 kareoke!!! :D), Blush (finally went after hearing bout it most of last year but not knowing where it is haha~ it's a nice cozy and really red-themed place) and pool (I suck! lol >.<) :] okay, so it doesn't look like much but then add on my 2 hours(!) work each day (lol), it is going into the city everyday and.... living life? :D

Yeah, lately life has been good.... especially yesterday! I applied for a job someplace and got an email/txt saying to call them... so yeah, excited~! Also, quite excited about an upcoming concert in..... THREE DAYS! Omg Omg Omg. Hehe ^^ Though I've already seen em the last time they came, doesn't stop my excitement~ excited to also see Hey Monday and All-American Rejects live!! :D :D :D :D YAYYYYYY! ^_^

And then EIGHT DAYS after that Fall Out Boy Concert, it's The Veronicas!!!! :D Excitedddd... but haven't gotten my ticket yet.... lol.. I got the FOB tickets from Trademe for $50! (RRP is $82.50! Save $40!! :D)..... I actually don't have any money (and when has that stopped me from spending! xP) but will be getting heaps from leftover apartment funds and stuff, so that should be good and that will definitely boost my income... ish.

Though. However. Atm I am not getting Student Allowance! Because I think I don't study enough papers (only doing three papers each semester this year....)... OR maybe I think it is due to my second double major papers not being approved yet... hopefully that's it coz.... well it would suck.. >.<

Anyways. Then after The Veronicas concert the following Tuesday (3rd March), a couple of weeks afterward it's The Fray!! :D With Secondhand Serenade! :O I can't wait... but yeah, I haven't gotten tickets to those yet and don't have anybody to go with to The Fray.....

So. When 24th Feb rolls around, I will no longer be a tenant of an apartment in the city.... kinda sad... an end of an era? I realized that in the past 3 years of my life, I have always living in a different home and been close to school or uni..
2006- At home, just down the road.
2007- Hostels, only a few minutes walk away~
2008- City apartment. 10-15 minutes away dependant on my speed.
So yeah... I've been lucky and well, maybe not that grateful of my situations and been taking it for granted, thinking that it will always be like that.. I have definitely learned a lot in those past 3 years.... and I don't regret anything that happened or the decisions I made. After all, everything happens for a reason :)

And my friend, which I think happens to be one of my closest and semi-longest friends, mentioned that this year would be a good year for me and I don't think I really believed him but now.... after a month of being back from China (and spending/ringing in the New Year in another country), I think this will be a good year..

- Found awesome new friends that have made me social and like just accepted me into their group~ it's good, you know who you are if you happen to be reading this ^^
- Spent the New Year in another country~ =D
- Got a job... been working reguarly/everyday since I came back!
- Maybe getting a second weekend job! :)
- And have the most awesome and greatest friends ever who when I hang out with and talk to, nothing has changed! And also specially with the rediscovering of old ones that I thought that would never speak to again...... ^.^

That is pretty much it. And also STILL gotta post about my China&HK trip... I so fail.. -___- it's nearly been a month since my return! D: I really do fail! Lol. That other time that I wanted to.... Photobucket was being a pain and wasn't working and so I pretty much lost my will to do so.. and this is a long enough post and so I will end it now.

Hope you guys have an awesome weekend!! And thanks for the comments/Valentine's Day wishes in the previous post. You guys rock! :)

Maybe Next Year

No I could never take a chance

- U2 lyrics

Yeah, I actually had the idea of posting a love/Valentine's Day related entry coinciding with Valentine's Day and.... well, I never quite got round to planning that out.

Actually, I forgot what I wanted to write about. I make it a point not to post anything related to that part of my life or possibly anything related to that.. for some reason.

But, anyways, H A P P Y V A L E N T I N E ' S D A Y ! Hope you all had/have a great Valentine's Day :)

My February 14th has gone and passed. Nearly 'officially' over, really with three minutes on the clock but yeah.... it was a good day and just another day really. Nothing out of the ordinary or special~

Was going to be spent with some old friends but it didn't happen coz people were busy. Oh well.

I had a great night last night and part of this day was spent getting my 8 hours of 'zzzz's' :P And then better half was spent furniture shopping with sister and mum. :)
Hmm, I have still yet to post entries relating to my China&HK trip...... ┐_┐

An Obituary printed in the London Times - Interesting and sadly rathertrue.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place, Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;
I Know My Rights
I Want It Now
Someone Else Is To Blame
I'm A Victim

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
