Try to be realistic....plan for miracles :)

My week has been pretty hectic...but pleasant :) I've been listening to alot of Esmée Denters (a Dutch hottie...or a hot Dutchie,depending on which end you are looking from..lol) lately since,I've been having to take a long 20 minute walk from the bus stop to my accommodation after midnight most times.Justin Timberland is a pretty good producer and I think I prefer Esmée Denters to Britney.I love her song called "What if" I think that it speaks to my heart....I keep thinking "what if i stayed back in Fiji?" "what if I had decided to continue dating my Panda?" what if...what if lol I don't really want to dwell on my past.I'm looking to my future....looks much brighter than it used to.I have truly been through so much since I moved to this new and beautiful country,New Zealand :) I still have this strong desire to get married at the age of 27 and I still have no clue who to....I just know that by the time I'm 27,I shall be married to someone.

I think it is just a natural progression of my life stages but I know that ultimately,I have the power to choose.I am planning for miracles in the sense that I know when I meet my future wife,I will know and we would get married after about 6 months...in some romantic scene that keeps playing out in my head.I know the idea is very much fantasy...but I don't expect the reality be so far off from what I have in mind.I have a quest to be self-sufficient and more independent right now...and I'm doing pretty well.


I worked lateshift with Don tonight.I was asked to lock up and so my supervisor gave me the keycodes for the office.The keycode is....324513gofish! you didn't think I'd actually post it on here,did you? lol

I've been breezing through my workload.I find this job so easy that I don't think I ever want to go back to onsite and hands on work...but that is my passion....it brings the greatest satisfaction and I love fitting things together..it is just how my mind works.


I have been working on my project for my website.I am going to sell products online with the help of L.N. and hopefully our little business venture takes off.

I miss my home so much and I am counting down to my planned trip back to Fiji...that will be the biggest miracle I am planning for...who knows? maybe it will be for my honeymoon lol....

ONE DAY!keep smiling everyone!
:D

Making the move..

It's been a tough week for me...I breezed through the training....took alot of calls in helpdesk and I handled them so well that my Manager has asked me to start my shifts.I have temporary accommodation but I need to move closer to the city.I love my new job, even though I used to hate being in the helpdesk before. I learned to enjoy my work with a focus on helping people resolve their internet issues. I live with my cousin and her son and their mom,who used to be married to my uncle...so the situation is slightly awkward and not the ideal living situation for me. I was invited by two newfound friends B & M (they're married and are expecting their first child soon) to their place for dinner with other friends E & M who were the first Spanish speaking couple I met in New Zealand. They were really nice and I loved learning a few words from them.....we had lasagne for dinner and some carlsberg and corona for drinks then we watched a DVD which had really old musicians playing for some music festival or concert (I wasn't paying attention coz they were songs from waaaay before my time lol) I had great conversation and we left with hugs and kisses....which was really nice to have since I have not had any since I left Auckland....I know right? poor me :P

Absolutely love Wellington and I keep seeing this ad on TV...beautiful and peaceful....I love my country so much :)

"I won't pay,I won't pay, no waaayayayay!"- theres no place like home..click click :P


If you don't know how a packet of "fmf breakfast crackers" can bring a man far,far away from home almost to tears,just by the sight of it....you've never lived in Fiji!

I had perhaps one of the most emotional and satisfyingly tasty breakfasts in my life,when my sister brought home a reminder of my great days in Fiji, I enjoyed it with a rush of memories that made me feel that I was actually having a biscuit breakfast :)

I haven't been posting so I lost a subscriber yesterday....I called immigration NZ yesterday and I was told that, I will have a reply by the end of next week...All I can do is wait, and end my unstable relationship with my buddy Alcohol:

Dear Alcohol,

First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours.As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around at the holidays, hidden inside chocolates, as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:


1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night?

2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a taco with fire sauce, along with a big Italian meatball and some stale bbq chips (washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit-Kat after a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time.


3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock!

4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin)prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere with my daily activities.
Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms.

You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets.
In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions & hopefully, we can continue this fruitful partnership. Thank you, Your biggest fan -unknown source

Cheers.x

SCYLLA

I have been watching a fair bit of television lately...staying in my dark little room,chatting to strange people....lol and having the two wonderful ladies upstairs make me lunch and dinner. They're awesome! :) WS you're the best! They always invite me up to their room for a "feed" yes, you will find that the kiwi's refer to a meal as a "feed" I wonder if that has anything to do with all the sheep in this country? Anyway, today I had some spicy lamb curry and rice.....Delicioso! Yes Cieart I do know that "Dulce" means sweet in spanish but I don't think I'm that sweet...lol I'm just an average joe and I work hard at trying to be a better man, however, in my current environment, I've just become your typical guy, unfortunately! I am eagerly awaiting class tomorrow because my friends told me that I was the only one who passed our assessment (yeah right!) Since when was I some kinda genius??? I'll have to check with my lecturer tomorrow. I am also asking about the internship program they have on offer. Things are kinda fast paced here, I am also moving back in with my sister until the end of my course because my mom is said so :P Yep, she did....she is "worried" about me here, personally, I think I'm okay but she is concerned about my slow drift into the party lifestyle that she thought I left behind in Fiji.....I thought I did too, it only takes a hot blonde(chica) to reactivate my "guy switch" then, I am disappointed, this will bring an end to my possible lucrative career as a bartender...lol nah! I realized that I love computers more than anyone in my class...I have a passion for computers and technology, most of the time I speek geek (thanks acethepain) people just don't get me! 

Oooh Ooooh today in America Heroes returns for a 3rd season!!! WOOOAAH! yeaaah baby!! haha....wait, that would be tomorrow for you peeps in the US of A! :)

My spanish word for today: Americano (yeah quite boring..this is coffee not americans...lol)
