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

"Am I all alone?? is anybody out there hearing my song??"

My Friday was soooo boring, I felt so lonely in my tiny room, I was going mad...so I decided to check up on this girl who gave me her number a week ago.....a decision I definitely don't regret :) She is fun and so is her sister and their friend!! I had a blast! :D We went for a walk in the park...and we raided the kiddies playground..haha we even ran for elections :P 

I really enjoyed the company, I also really needed it, my boredom was killing me.I made some great new friends and I got to have lunch and dinner and I'm looking forward to more food and wonderful company soon :) thats if I haven't already worn out my welcome...lol

I've been online a while now and I've had something unexpectedly weird happening to me....people are people are emailing me :P I've received really great responses to my work and my writing not that many but just enough to keep me writing happily :) I have only 3 more unit standards left until I graduate so...I'm just buzzing with excitement :) I had my first taste of some great "grey goose" as well....ace always told me that was yummy,and it was....it is french vodka....totally delicious :) a very classy drink,wonderful clarity and flavor!! So yeah, I'm so glad I was rescued from my boredom by three wonderful girls....I am leaving tomorrow so I have a big going away party...my sister is coming over with some drinks!! yeeehaaa! :P   I've been having fun at my place...soo much fun you can't imagine the boredom I face when it is all over...lol it's kinda like a relationship (so I heard :P) you have ups and downs....so today is a down thats why I decided to write..it keeps my mind occupied and somewhat distracted, or should I say focussed? well whatever it is...I'm not that bored :)

I haven't had spoken to my spanish friend lately so I don't really know what I will put as my spanish word for today...but I think I'll use one of the lines she told me to use.I am planning to go to California next year...so I'm looking forward to a great year next year :) my friend who lives upstairs married a guy from the US, they're separated and she has one kid, she is really nice and she says I can visit her when she goes back. She tells me all the wonders of the land of the brave and free....so I'm seriously thinking of checking America out...yes,i bet its a great place....but I have to see for myself :)

Spanish word for today: Caliente - muy caliente ;) haha...laters! :D

Villains-The Second Coming


The much anticipated 3rd season of heroes has begun~~ I was hmm...sorry I just got distracted by an email message notification that said "you have just received and email from admin@viagra.com" damn spammers are working harder than most people! grrrr.....anyway I was looking forward to some new heroes with cooler powers....and I saw the superfast flash girl on the preview....so I'm expected alot from this season. Anyway there aren't any spoilers here, I suggest you just wait to watch it...I've caught season 4 of Prison Break and I'm looking forward to my walk-in job interview with the bar manager tomorrow...so I have to rest up today. 

that means cutting this short...


Enjoy..
spanish word for today : feliz :D 


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)

LAC Meeting 2008 - Computing

I had been appointed to the Local Advisory Comittee for my schools Computer Science Faculty, I was very nervous because I had no idea what I was supposed to do....now I know, its not much, you just eat free food and drink free wine and talk to CEO's who have been invited. Second motions to change the programs offered in the school...not much! I was amazed at how well I spoke and I was more than honored to represent all the Computer Science students in my school :)

I met the CEO of vadacom a company that is looking to promote open source technologies....I found this guys opinions very helpful and insightful. I also got the chance to meet our IT Manager and he was talking about an offer for internships. I am certainly interested in making my mark in the IT industry...I believe that I have a long way to go here in New Zealand. I also had a chance to talk to our receptionist-my sunshine in the morning :) She is the first face I see when I come in every morning.....always floating her contagious smile.....she was such a sweetheart, packed the leftover food for me to take home....or maybe she thought I was a charity case..lol either way I was more than happy to accept anything she had to offer. Everyone said the meeting was very productive. I am looking forward to graduating and hitting the industry with all my skills. I also went back to this bar close by to check whether that offer was still available. I need to work so I can keep paying my rent, I've been pretty broke lately...no joke :P The bar manager said I can come and see her again on Tuesday during the day....she wants to talk to me, its probably like an interview. I didn't really wanna work at a bar but...at this point I am pretty desperate for cash, I do almost anything...well,almost haha!

My spanish word for today is: Dulce      haha....thanks Carmen ;) "eres un amor,dulce" I still don't know if it is true!

"The battle for our tomorrow,starts today"




WARNING:POSSIBLE TERMINATOR SARAH CHRONICLES SPOILER!


Come with me if you wanna live! My favorite show is on Season 2, I finally am kissing my boredom goodbye with something to come home too (always something to come home to- Fiji TV's slogan..dunno if they're still using it) This new season comes with a new intro and also a very dramatic first episode really gets me worked up.I actually cried, for two very silly reasons...lol

1. I really missed the show and I didn't want robots to rule the world!
2. I thought that was the end of the hot terminator chic :(

and it was so silly coz robots would never reach a point of singularity, I doubt that it would come to that....and if the hot terminator chic died....the show would have nothing t
o show, it would be called, the humans vs the machines.

Oops! for a brief moment my private server had been open publicly due to some administration i had to carry out...hope nobody saw that :P

Anyway the links to download Season 2 Episode 1 of Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles may be found here: Please subscribe using the subscribe button on the top right hand corner with a valid email (no anonymous subscribers) to receive the passwords to my private server. I am currently working on a layout scheme for a new page called downloads, until then, it looks kinda crude.

Spanish word for today : hasta la vista baby! lol....I know its more than one..but hey its cool :)


You're too hot to die ;) and also too metalic...haha

fill in the blanks

I went out again on Friday night....I've had crazy nights out, but this has gotta be the wildest night out ever! I really gotta do something about my party lifestyle.....I got up to some really crazy stuff on Friday, but I didn't remember until today, I was slowly filling in the blanks in my memory. I remembered some things that I probably should forget...lol

I got kicked out of a club, and this was one of the easiest clubs to get into...lmao! My friends had a good laugh that night....the guy at the door had something against me, I think.....it was weird, I went to see the club owner and he let me in again.....then this guy pulled me out again for reasons totally unknown to me, this time I didn't bother complaining, I think he was pissed off that I went over his head....but I didn't care too much about that, I was too happy! :) I also met a spanish chic but her name escapes me right now :( so does her number......sucky!

She said that I was sweet in spanish, actually she called me candy..lol but I don't know, her friend was really nice, I was on fire that night!! haha, I only knew that I had so much fun :) BUT I wouldn't do that EVER again....it really was unlike me, I am trying to figure out why my actions have been out of whack lately, and I think I know, I'm pretty lonely out here.....I mean I've tried to be open minded about the culture and the lifestyle here but I think I am a little too into it, I'm losing myself in all this......I want to be myself again but that requires something to commit myself to, a cause, a purpose so to speak....I have lost my real purpose, but I have had great grades, I checked my results online and I have straight A's for a change, it looks very weird to me...lol but I am happy with my efforts :)

I am very committed to my studies but I still feel like I am lacking something important :( I feel crappy now, I feel like a beer :P I am going to save up for a trip to watch Fiji play in the Wellington 7's :) I hope we kick some Kiwi butt...haha Congratulations to NZ anyway for winning their 6th Tri-Nations title in 7 years! :)

My spanish word for today : Caramelo ;) thats new and hot....haha

"what is the collective noun for a group of nuts??-an Asylum"

My Dad is coming home...yay! like me, he is just counting the days until he reaches home,but unlike me he gets to airport hop to Amsterdam...AAAAAAAAhhh! Accra and Korea then reach the beautiful international airport in Nadi, Fiji Islands! He emailed me and told me all about it..as if to get me so jealous :P I have always wanted to even just fly through Amsterdam or A'dam (as some people love to write..when they're too lazy to spell it out in full..lol) I also got some great advice last week about my love life from a very well meaning friend :) my fashiondiva thanks for helping me see some light at the end of my narrowminded tunnel :P You're amazing!

I also got a phone call from another long time buddy and he also advised me...or more like slapped me on the back of the head :P lmao! thanks Allen, you know I'm just a sucker for blondes sometimes! haha...and I'm glad they're women..lol

I've enjoyed a fair bit of social activity the past few weeks, I am also going to be promoting my school in the local daily....not local here, local Fiji, so I've been told by my two favorite education consultants back home :) they will also use my pictures in presentations all over the country, sounds really neat but.....I won't get paid :( she talked me into it,lol anyway I love my school :D


My spanish word for today is : Aeropuerto

"writing in brackets can (not) be ignored"

Today I had nothing much to do so I logged into the dreaded facebook. Pretty scary if you are not one of those socialnet freaks. I had a great time chatting to C and I managed to upload some new pics. I started thinking about how we miss the little things in life and sometimes the seemingly insignificant things...and those things that you forgot about ages ago.....or those people :P I had friend requests from a lot of blasts from my past....I don't like having so many friends it makes me look popular, which I totally am not. I'd like to think that I keep a low profile and anyway the friends that do matter are not usually on facebook. I keep my friends really close to me...almost as close as my family....I was also very emotional today.....I don't have any spanish words for today coz I just don't feel like it.

I sooo need a girlfriend :P

okay okay, spanish word for today : novia :)

"If the mountain won't come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain ."-A trip to Mount Eden,Auckland,New Zealand.

On Friday one of my classmates offered to accompany me to the city on my quest to find a new tie :) We had so much fun wandering up and down Queen Street...we had to do a great deal of walking since apparently, most clothing stores don't sell ties.....this was surprising as one would expect to see ties in a clothing store since...it is part of clothing!

I was given a run for my money, literally :P although I didn't expect it to be this much of a challenge to find a tie...lol. My friend was so accommodating, she walked with me all the way :) thanks you "Jane" *(name changed) I hate this anonymous thing it doesn't do much for credibility but works for privacy, so just to be clear these are REAL stories with REAL people only the names a fake :P boy that sure works.lol.

The first store I walked into was Tarocash I get hungry and feel lucky whenever I recall my shopping experience there...I only walked in because of the beautiful lady at the door...she was just a delight to look at and so I walked in (darn marketing tricks...gets me all the time ;) I left my friend Jane outside for fear of her being mistaken as my girlfriend (poor girl :P) I walked in pretending that I wanted to buy something from the store (this wasn't really hard, I just thought about buying the beautiful article talking to me :P) They had ties at this store but all stripes not other designs and paterns...so I just made up ques
tions and small talk,tried to be funny (it didn't work...damn :P) but she was so lovely as to refer me to the Tie Rack, so on we went!

We met a wonderful woman named *Brianna who was just amazing coz she was so smiley, I met her for the second time and even though she knew I wasn't much of a "greenie" from our last encounter,she still stopped to chat to me and I got to know how she was :P I don't like it when people reply to a "hey,how are you?" with a
"I'm good thanks" oh and even worse "and you??" I mean I asked you the question silly! don't try and dodge it then ask throw it back at me :P well,I did ask her but I got to know more about her,she is American and she loves the planet to death (okay bad choice of words there :P) she is a total MEAN GREEN..PEACE machine so if you ever see her, stop and say hi!-although you probably shouldn't call her Brianna,use the name clearly printed on her tag! Jane absolutely loved her, so she was willing to sign up for the charity. Greenpeace is very actively involved in helping to TRY to counteract the devastating effects of humanity on the environment. They try to pressure goverments here and abroad to make regulations or changes to help protect and preserve the planet (kinda like captain planet except without all the cool powers :P) I don't believe that human efforts to resolve such a global issue would do much good since you cannot change the people who rule this world. So I explained to her that I didn't want to sign up because I don't believe that they would actually make a difference....laws don't stop people from being lawless! To change someone requires a change of heart not of laws or regulations. I still admire her for her passion for the planet :) we almost got into another heated argument but this time I remembered that I have a tie to buy :P So we took a quick pic and on with my quest I went :)

Jane was criticizing me at this point for wanting to go into Tarocash only because of the salesgirl....it was the typical guy thing to do and these days I have become just a typical guy, NO MORE MR.NICE GUY :P lol, I am still nice just not too nice, We finally found Tie Rack after walking through 2 traffic lights and many blondes, It was definitely a blonde day on Friday!

When we got to Tie Rack I was totally disappointed, not only were the ties dull and lifeless in color and design but they were double the price! I decided to head back to where the beautiful salesgirls was! Lesson Learned: Always go with the hottie! lol, I mean always look for a bargain.I went back complaining to Jane who thought the whole thing was funny...lol it was,all this, for a tie :P

We got to Tarocash, this time I took Jane in with me so salesgirl could eat her heart out :P We looked at the ties and Jane helped me pick out a tie...then salegirls offered to sell me a belt,so I asked her what they had, she showed me a few boring ones then I spyed with my little eye one with black on one side and white on the other.....but it cost $59.95 (just tell me its $60 already :P) then I started going on asking "so what makes this belt so expensive?" in other words why should I spend half a hundred bucks on something that holds my pants up? Apart from the very reason that it does keep my pants from falling down, she skillfully explained that it was made of genuine leather and that it had a reversible buckle that you can flip to wear as a black or white belt depending on the occassion and dress...hmm...impressive :) she could have had it SOLD that very moment but I'm a bit of a tuff guy when it comes to making purchases....so I say "yeah but 60 bucks, is a bit much for a belt..don't you think?" she totally caved!

So I walked out of tarocash with a $59.95 dollar belt for $20 and a tie for $19.95 ka ching! I've never felt so great just shopping! Is this how a woman feels after shopping?? Is this why women so love to shop?? TELL ME!! lol.....I enjoyed the challenge of finding a tie that binds :P

My spanish word for today was suggested by Ms.Anonymous ;) as the word for my last post is: cerveza ( es demasiado cercano peligrosamente a la palabra en inglés "cervix" )



I think she is doing a great job,keep it up girl! :) cut out the ugly guy next to you..lol

This place should be renamed,Tie Crap..haha coz they have really boring overpriced ties!

On top of Mount Eden, overlooking Auckland City....the view from up here was breathtaking! I just wished I had someone special to share it with :( boohoo :P

The pet shop next to my lodge has the cutest animals ever! I want to name this dog...hehe,isn't he a cutie? :)

"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

Boobs on bikes

Yesterday I got stuck in traffic,there was lots of people crowding up Queens Street, so my friend and I decided to see what the big deal was about....upon taking a closer look, we discovered something really interesting :PYep yep, this parade was just the thing that held up traffic in the city center for more than an hour!

There was a lot of controversy surrounding this parade....I heard that they almost closed this "boobs on bikes" parade.....I think that pornography does not fuel sexual violence....people fuel sexual violence.....they highly exaggerated the effects of pornography but I did take the time to note their objections...but I was soon overwhelmed by large round breasts :P

I found the people's interest to be of more interest than some of the saggy boobs on show....there were guys on trees....

guys on phone booths......

and even guys with dogs....who just wanted to see some boobs! lol....aaahh the things guys do just to see boobs! :P

This was apparently a big promo for the erotica expo which is an annual gig.


Well, as for me.....I thought it was new and interesting...and I think that the girls were nice. Just one of the interesting things to see here in New Zealand :)

My Spanish word for today is : pecho

hehe...pecho grande..lol

"They told me I was gullible, and I believed them"

Its been a long day, I took my usual trip to South Auckland today and again it was soooo cold,raining cats and dogs,apples and pears.....and other furry and delicious things :)

I left my camera back there.....so I'm feeling so stupid. I need my camera for Wednesday. I completed my assignments and I am looking forward to my presentation on "troubleshooting a 3G wireless broadband system" I didn't meet any interesting people this weekend coz the rain had kept me all curled up and comfy in my bed. I watched TV, there is this really cool show I forget the name....its about a bunch of guys and a girl, and they have to try and get the girl...kinda like Joe Millionaire (yes that's how much television I HAVEN'T been watching!) but the twist here is the guys are gay and the girl doesn't know it..lol..that was fun to watch. Also caught Oceans 13 on Sky Box Office and watched a show about food and health....called uhm....whats in our food or something like that. Really cool NZ TV but not something I'd stay in for if there was sunshine outside. I got back to my room all lonely again, to find that my STL friend had sent me an email! She really is a thinker that one.....I can't believe I didn't meet her last time she was in Fiji...well, theres always next vacation! I'm enjoying the city life for now.....I'll have Wednesday off to plunder the riches of this enchanting city :)

I think I may as well put some old pics up.

The ones you didn't see :
I saw this cute little girl next to me in the car wash...she was so curious and kept staring...so I took a pic :) isn't she lovely? very photogenic..unlike.......unlike this dog here....he was also curious and couldn't stop staring..lol :P

My spanish word for today :) feliz!
