I am reading a great new book. It's called March and it tells the fictional life of the very absent father of the girls from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. The author is Australian which thrills me and so far, I am drenched in the world of this character. With every novel I read, the greater my urge to start writing a book of my own. No clue as ( Read more... )

I am buggered. My first week of real work is down and done and dare I say, I think I'm going to be pretty good at this, in due time of course. I made a couple of grammatical blunders and even screwed up sentences in ways I never dreamed were incorrect. It seems the whole 'writing as a profession' is an art. And in the scheme of things, I am still ( Read more... )

Coz if they didn't, man there would have been problems. I have a lovely new desk and a 23-inch Apple monitor. Not that I care too much for Apple but bigger is better! I met most of the employees I'll be in contact with, although I remember zero of their names. Actually, I do remember the lady named Michelle, firstly because she has the same name as ( Read more... )

On Saturday I'll be attending an Indian wedding. My friend Anjali is marrying her beau Roneel and I'm excited. I've heard grand tales about Indian weddings. I'll post pics after the big day. Today I blew a bunch of money on new clothes for work. I bought some cute new pants and three tops and a bangle. I feel a little more confident now about ( Read more... )

I just signed the contract for my new job. I then stopped by the Filipino food store Pasalubong and bought some dried mango. Now I'm home and need to head out again to pick up 2 pairs of work pants I had altered yesterday to suit my little Asian/bowed legs. I can't wait to have an actualy salary. Guess this means I'll have start making HECS ( Read more... )

Having trouble deciding which phone I want, let alone can afford for Pete's sake. Oh well, dreaming is almost just as sweet. If anyone knows anything about either of these phones, tell me which to steer away from. My current phone is a total joke. It misses calls without telling me about them, it's tempermental and rings only when it feels like it ( Read more... )

Some guys are gonna be ripping out my front door today to replace it with a new one. Great. I have no clothes for when I start my spankin' new job on Monday. That's a problem. I said farewell to the people at Real Living magazine yesterday. What a great stepping-stone that place turned out to be. I think I am or am about to be sick. My car's engine ( Read more... )

Today marks my 7th last shift at the beloved (not) Coogee Bay Hotel. Man, I am still so very stoked about that. Well aware of my leaving, they've insisted I go out with a bang, giving me a whopping 16 hour shift yesterday. I ended up walking home at 1am, eyes closed, as I staggered the footpath opening my eyes every few seconds to gain a sense of ( Read more... )

I just got the call. The lady on the other end was the woman who interviewed me, she asked if I was still interested in the position because if so, she would like to offer it to me! Yes, I got the job!!! I am puffing from having run in circles around my living room. I have turned the music up and it is blasting through my bedroom window. I am ( Read more... )
