I'm in a ratrace but I don't think it is a race since I don't seem to be running :P

I haven't been writing much since I moved to Wellington because everything has been "full on" and for those of you unfamilar with the language of the locals. In New Zealand, that means hectic or intense. I have been working intensely in order to submit an application for Permanent Residence in New Zealand. The fees are crazy expensive, NZD$1200,I could buy a used car with that amount of money here....I've been looking to get a license first lol. I have been saving up for a trip to Fiji as well...so much going on and yet I feel like I'm getting nowhere. I have had a quiet day at work so I decided to take the time to bring my creative side back to the fore,I have learned that pressure inhibits creativity. If you want to be as creative as possible, you must NOT have a deadline. Don't get me wrong, I am all for getting things done on time but if you want things done quickly,you shouldn't expect results of a higher quality, there is always a compromise somewhere.

I've been pretty busy but I want to share my second zoo experience here in Wellington.I have to get permission to write about this beautiful stranger first though....I will post this as "my wellington zooper experience" I still managed to add a second blog to my list of blogs but I haven't shared it publicly yet. I've set it up mainly to research some advanced techniques to hug people....yes HUGS :P

Anyone can access it on

Hope you all have a great week :)

The world is full of beautiful people,none are more beautiful to us than the ones we choose to love!

I was waiting for the bus today and there was this beautiful woman standing at the bus shelter....she looked like she was foreign and she had backpacks and lots of travel gear....so I asked her the obvious since that has always been a hit with people I meet and talk to.....I looked at her and she smiled at me so I felt comfortable and safe then I asked her "are you a traveler?" she nodded then said yes (so I smiled and breathed a little sigh of relief coz that means she understands English lol) I asked her where she was from and she replied Finland....we had really great conversation...I said that I was a bit of a traveler myself and that I was from Fiji and she said she was just there recently and she also said it was a beautiful place...I agreed with her...completely lol we talked about what things are like here in NZ compared to our home countries....she enjoyed how friendly the people were in Fiji and she said she went to different villages there but she stayed on Yasawa Island...she agreed with my comments that even though the life there is simple...the people are generally more happy...and in Western or more modern societies such as New Zealand,we have everything but we are still not happy.She said "yes,people always want more" I said yes,that is true and explained that I had always wanting something more too but being here has changed me.....she just took off her hiking gear and jacket to get comfortable but the bus was coming so....we couldn't chat....as she was getting ready to get on the bus I shook her hand and we exchanged names....she said her name was Marli or maybe Marley or Marlene or maybe Marlin....should have asked her to spell it....I said we probably won't see each other again so goodbye and she said bye....so I had such a smile on my face today.I met a Finn? Is that how you say it?lol I met a Finnlandian? Or maybe I will just say I met a Finnish person? Well it was a real pleasure...more bus stop moments to come :)

"the young know the rules, the old know the exceptions"

I'm a little older now, hopefully, thats means more wisdom....I had been laying low, dreaming, thinking and searching for something new and enchanting to captivate me and keep me sufficiently motivated....to live :) I managed to find such a wonder in someone that I have known for a while....I believe that humans are beautiful creatures...

We have the ability to :
1 be courageous under oppression.
2 find love in the face of all obstacles
3 feel joy despite the most unfavorable conditions plague us.
4 experience peace when the entire world seems to be at war,
5 be patient despite the timer placed on our fragile lives
6 show kindness when it doesn't serve us to do so
7 be good :)
8 be faithful until death do us part 

I personally feel that we are capable of great things.....it is only that we decide to NOT to be our best..hence my quest for self improvement...it isn't an easy one but I always try to do my best....some may see this as some sort of superiority complex....which is totally wrong, I just wanna be the best I can be :D and my personal best may not be anyone else's 

I enjoy what I do and I find that I can do it well...with a little help from my friends that is :) well, at least from the ones who support me :P

I did this test and I found out that I am a Michael lol 




OLAY! hope that is a spanish word :P

Walking in Albany

On Wednesday the 7th of January I went up to the "North Shore" to see my dear friend,she has been through alot lately and I wanted to be there for her, I had sensed her distress and I felt her pain. I have the qualities of one of those "empaths" not sure if there are such things but I know that I sometimes feel the pain of others because I put mysef in their shoes....almost literally sometimes, just to see how it feels. I have been feeling sad and because somehow I felt her emptiness inside me...that is why I wanted to see her so much....I wanted to comfort her because, it would comfort me too...she wanted to see me and I thought it would be great :) 

I started my way by first giving my nephew a bath and then......giving myself a bath :P yeah, I was dirty.....looking at my project I'm happy it has been 8.25days! anyway, back to my story, I dressed in my "usual" fashion...nothing too fancy, after all I was going to see someone I was so comfortable with, so I got dressed and made my way out to the catch the bus (my sister took the car and the other car needed a driver...and I can't drive :(........yet;) I walk out to the bus stop and see this old lady standing there......so I stand casually on the side of the the road.....thinking about how great the sunshine is and the day that lay ahead of me......then I see this guy in uniform make his way toward me...and he has a look in his eye that is "suspect" I realize that he is a police officer and I know the mind of a police officer since my dad was a cop.....so I remain calm and fight the urge to run...lol I just stand there and wait for his.....questions...he gets to me then asks "Is your name Isaac?" then I say in a very matter-of-fact way "nope" haha....typical ME :P he then asks me I've seen anyone loitering about and his questions seemed very accusing but...hey, I would think like this guy.....anyway he leaves to beat some other bush and the old lady starts talking to me......telling me of her sadness and her struggles of living "South side" I nod in agreement even though I probably don't truly know the depth of her feelings with her expressions of disappointment....I do understand that South Auckland is widely known as a place that is not safe to live in ( I have yet to see evidence of this...people have lived in worse places) the media has depicted South Auckland as a hell hole but I believe that it is highly exaggerated....so after a few minutes chatting to this lovely old lady we hop on the bus....she gets off near a school and I get off and catch the train to the city......when I get there I call this girl I've been talking to for almost 3 months and I haven't seen her for so long...we start talking as I tell her where I am....I can hear the excitement in her voice as I tell her that I am getting on the bus....she had been waiting since early in the morning (when I woke her up) expecting to see me sooner but I was held up by a little kid...lol my nephew, he is such a needy thing!

So there I am on the bus and I notice that people are staring at me, foreigner from another town,people on the North Shore haven't seen southerners before?? weird! lol...anyway, I'm talking to her the whole way there and I'm loving it (of coures :D) I tell her to get out quick and start walking coz I'm almost there.....so she does, the bus stops at the bus station and I get out to see if I can spot her, and I did...I have nice eyes....so I'm told :P When I saw her...she looked great but I didn't really let her know that much....until later :P

she had a skip in her step that just got me all excited.....she came over and gave me a great BIG hug...and she lifted her legs off the ground (wow, she actually trusted me not to drop her....she was fairly heavy...but uhm...I was super...errrm strong ;) I held on tight and it felt a little strange....coz we haven't seen each other for so long! We were a bit like strangers but that feeling soon went away after we started walking to....uhm we don't know..lol we just walked :) We got to a junction along the road and we would just say....okay lets go there.....and we agree....and walk....until I came up to EAST COAST ROAD....I had been down that road before...I know where it leads..."to da beach y'all!!" :D We decided to go down to the beach.....I had no clue how far it is when you're NOT IN A CAR..lol I led her down the road...until we came to a sign that says "BUSH WALK" so we were feeling adventurous and decided to go down some bushes....we hoped it would lead us to the beach but..instead...it led us to someones back yard....lol and so we had to go back up to the road..
we then got thirsty so we looked for a water,I swear water never tasted so great!....it was a real struggle to walk up the hill though..so two bushwalkers came back up to the main road and continued on their quest to find sand and sea! We stopped at almost every other bus stop to take shelter from the ultra-violet rays of the beautiful burning star in the sky....and to talk and comfort each other....ahem, then on we went...we bought a single bottle of water and we shared it until finally she spots the beach.....her excitement was made evident by her skipping.....so cute :) we reach there and we take the walk on the beach we've always wanted.....but not exactly how we imagined it.....then she takes a dip and asks me to join her...but I was more worried about not having any change of clothes.....and looking after my belongings...so I took pics of her while she was walking into the water and jokingly said that I was going to baptize her......I really got her with that one...lol the water was disgusting though, not quite as appealing as the beaches back home.....it was so eeew! she was probly the nicest thing in the water :P 

We finished and walked back.....a long long way....thats around 10 Kilometers in total!!! she was pretty fit...able to keep up with me...and my backpack...the additional weight on my back was really killing me.....but I tried my best to ignore it coz...I didn't wana look like a sissy boy :P We stop at a few bus stops (and under a tree) on the way back, she put me at ease and she brought tranquility to my mind and happiness to my heart...BUT this time, I liked her more as a friend...however,I found myself feeling some tension toward her....so I kissed her and it was nice, I enjoyed it but it wasn't the same as what we had when we first met, and we were both glad we got that out of the way :)....but I loved walking with her more...holding her hand...it seems our hands fit together so perfectly....she gave me the comfort I craved for....I enjoyed her warm hugs....it was delightful :D her presence made me happy.....

This is something funny that she saw....when she was holding my hand,she noticed the colors...she said neapolitan ice scream.....and we laughed so hard!! lol aaaah "crack up" she always says that :P
 
"I love you THIS much!" :P
this is one she took of me...she isn't much of a photographer...but its okay :P 
We sat under this tree and had the most meaningful discussion about life,love....and God and it felt so good to see how she responded...because she never really believed in God...she totally amazed me with her understanding and her desire to know more :) I left feeling so happy and accomplished...she was satisfied with her goal to reach the beach and I was happy that I got to talk deeply with her....we connected so much that I did not want to leave her...but the sun was setting (at 9pm....lol) and I had to catch the bus home...so she gave me one last hug and I got on the bus.....I already started to miss this wonderful woman....I was looking forward to seeing her again....this was a great walk :) Thanks my sweet panda...x

I got no spanish words today...its all ENGLISH :)

How to fall in love with someone in 3 days!! part 1

Big greets to my newest subscriber lightlights.....hii :) Wilson-the pass is in the subscriber newsletter....just put your email in the subscribe box and my guy who waits up all day and night for new subscribers...will send you an email with a username and password..below is one of the reasons why I've been out of blog action for a while....another reason: My sister has no broadband....I've orderd a connection but it would take 14 days at the most..according to my ISP orcon.

On Friday 3rd October, I met the most beautiful woman in the world!!! I just knew that my life long search for “the one” had ended. I woke up on this day feeling so great, as I usually would if it was going to be an awesome day, everything seemed like it was going my way, firstly, I was on time to catch the 7.35am bus to the train station-I’m usually late so I thought I’ll make a huge effort to get to class on time and my efforts would be appreciated, for other people in my class to make it to class early it wasn’t a big deal but for me to get to class on time, everyone looks at me like it is some kind of miracle….I think that is sooo crazy!!


Anyway, this is how my day sorta went :


I get to the train station and I catch the train,just like any other day except this day I caught the 7.50 train which would get me to Britomart before 8.45 where I can catch the connecting train west to my college. When I got to Britomart I decided to go street level and walk to M4 and catch the bus, thinking it would save me the walk from the train station to my college. I also liked walking topside coz I love observing the morning rush and the beautiful women…I got the usual…..very lovely and very interesting!! I got the bus stop and I just stood there pretending to look at bus schedule pasted on the stop….when I heard a voice ask me if I wanted to sit down…….I didn’t really want to sit down but she had this glow about her and her smile was so inviting…I was just unable to say no! I sat down and I started asking her if she was catching the bus (of cos she is,why else would she be sitting unaccompanied at a bus stop?) because she didn’t strike me as the type of girl who would catch the bus…she had lovely white boots on…a very classy top (can’t really remember but seems like a bright color…..yummy:) and the hottest pair of jeans I’ve seen (although I didn’t stare at it too much) we started just talking about life and what we want….what most people are like and what we are like and how different we are……I  have never had a conversation that was so absorbing, so interesting and so enjoyable…..I almost didn’t want the bus to come!! She had this really sexy laugh….that really made me feel at ease. I don’t know anyone who could actually open up so much in just a few seconds…she seemed so relaxed and so confident, I started to wonder what her deal was….lol yeah, you don’t just laugh so openly with a total stranger….but she made me laugh too….really laugh!!! Hahaha….I think it was her contagious and totally infectious laugh…..We talked about life and about bus stops and about our lives….what we do, what we used to do, how we made changes in our lives…how she moved and how I moved here to New Zealand and we both had reasons for being the way we are! :)



She was not sure how to get to work, she worked at a fashionable jeans outlet but she had been asked to work in the retail store close to where I was studying…..I offered to take her there because I know that area really well….we got off the bus, still talking about so many things that affect us and things that affect the people around us…the way some people are and some theories as to why they are and what we want…some things about what we’ve been through, what we enjoy doing…what we don’t really like. We didn’t make small talk, we immediately connected on a social level…I felt like I already knew her….I was really enjoying her energy (and she had so much of it!! It could take you to the moon and back)…she had reached the deeper person inside me(yes I have a very deep side to me )…..so quickly and so effectively that I was absolutely certain that there was something special about her!!  Anyway we get to the shopping mall still talking about the many things in her life and mine..her phone rings so we walk into a shoe store and she answers there....she starts talking then she finishes,hangs up and appologizes...then we keep talking (I don't even remember what we talked about..I was in lala land :) I couldn't stop staring at her.....she realizes that she is already late so she decides that its too late to go into to work now so she suggested we sit down at a nearby table and talk....we both sit down but we're staring at each other..making connections....feeling so damn crazy! I loved her blonde hair and bright eyes.....we talked about people...ideals....she was checking the time...and she was late again....but I realized how important her job is to her...so I walked her back to the store where she worked...we stopped outside the store where she worked...and as I stared deep into her eyes I knew she was special. I knew that I would hate myself if I didn't get her number, I also knew I would get her number. I then said the silliest line "this is the part where I ask you for your number" and she looked at me and gave me this smile that I knew came from deep inside her, I felt such reassurance of her feelings right then. We exchanged numbers and we both spelt each others names wrong. She corrected her name "Ayla-Jane" it has become the most beautiful name in the world to me :) We knew we had to leave because we had our "things to do" but we also knew that we didn't want to leave.....she gave me a feeling that was so intense that I knew if I left her I wouldn't feel as amazing!! =) I had to be the tough guy so I said the classic "we should really go" we agreed (that was so fake..lol) she was standing there and I was standing there paused for a moment....I contemplated hugging her and kissing her....but my body just froze and I didn't feel right doing it,I just looked at her one last time and said goodbye......

no words English or Spanish could describe this amazing connection we have :D
