"I don't bite I just lick hard"

I've had a pretty hectic week this week and I have to submit a testimonial for my school tomorrow. I've been babysitting since last week...its not the easiest thing in the world but it is rewarding and can be fun.I woke up one morning with a warm wet feeling on my chest..lol,it took me a while to realize that my nephew had peed all over me in my sleep...I had taught him how to say "bubblegum" this is a very handy word :) I'd say if not now than perhaps when he grows older....its his first 3 syllable word.

I plan to write so many things but I only end up writing about a third of what I think to write,I really am blending in over here,one of my friends that lives upstairs in my lodge asked me out to a drink last night...so I gladly accepted because she was buying :P yes, how very gentleman-like of me,hehe.....we went to the first bar and I didn't really like it coz it felt like I had just walked into an old TV show....they were hardly any Islanders there (somehow New Zealanders like to call themselves Islanders-and i guess,technically they are) not a Fijian to be sighted except for my friend and I of cos.....we stood out like raisins on a bun! We soon left after two drinks, she took me to another bar and there were 6 Fijians including the guy at the bar and the owner,who later said that I was free to try out if I was interested in working for her on Wednesday nights.She said I have the personality for it :P I don't think that being silly actually counts as personality...haha but I was confident and friendly.The bartender made small talk then I started to get interested in his job....the bar owner was so thrilled to have us there that she ordered a round on the house. I drank AMSTEL beer which is a dutch beer and was actually taken over by Heineken....interesting taste...but I still prefer Fiji Bitter.

So yeah,I worked hard changing stinky diapers then I found myself winding down with some dutch beer and really great company :) What a week! :)

I don't have a spanish word for today but if I did, it would be : Nada :P

"Early to bed,early to rise makes you healthy but socially dead!"

Late nights and early days have been my usual last week.I went out on a really cold wet Friday night. It was really cool ( not just literally) my friends and I hit this place called "D bar" in Auckland Central. I went out coz one of my friends came back from Fiji, we went out to welcome him back. He didn't look too excited to be back in New Zealand haha...I wouldn't be...the weather back home is so warm. What is cold there is not nearly as cold as here. I understand now what my friend Silvie always meant. She used to get excited when the temperature was just 19 or 20 degrees celsius...and I never really got how pleasantly warm that was until I experienced my first winter!

This is my first winter...yes my first,EVER! I've never experienced winter before, at least not the real seasonal stuff. I had so much fun...met so many people at the "D bar" and, I didn't get any phone numbers this time...but I met so many cool people :) I also met actual SPANISH people!! yay! This bar was supposedly for South Americans and other non-usual crowds. A fight broke out between the Samoan dudes when we got in but they got kicked out and things were really cool from then on. The DJ was awesome!! I also met the bar owner, bought him a drink and got to talk to this hot bar tender "R" I got her name...she was adorable!

Oh yeah and whatever happened to my date?? It was canceled, too bad, I was really looking forward to it. I don't really mind, there are so many girls out there! Especially in STL ;) I of cos told her that I went out, and she just said, she was glad I had fun. I did,it was also my first night out with my friends from my Institute. I really loved the people in this club! I had a chance to use my spanish...I'm gonna lay low this weekend, spend some time with my sister,take a load off.

I've also been spending alot of time online learning American ;) thanks to fashiongirl* username changed.

I spend too many nights awake and waay too many mornings sleeping! But...It may not be healthy but...it keeps me alive socially. I haven't had much time to think about my assignments but I finished all my programs today and submitted ahead of the deadline which is tomorrow. BIG RELIEF! :)

I'm "cool" as!
My spanish word for today: fresca :)

The sky tower at night.....darn thing wouldn't keep still! :P
MEXICAANS :P lol...the guy on the left everyone keeps calling JT, he does look like Justin :PMy friends and I when things were picking up :) I never realized I was so tall.....

Thats all for now..adios!
