I may not have everything I want.....but I've got everything I need :)

I have moved from Lower Hutt to a lovely place in Oriental Bay..courtesy of a very generous family that I met 2 weeks ago.I am living in the attic....just like a monster should..lol I am happy up here,I get good sunlight and I get an awesome view into the harbor area.I only have to walk 15 minutes to work and to the city center along the sea front.I am in an ideal location and the family I live with have been so amazing....I have what I need now,a good family but I think I am ready to start a family of my own....I have met someone that I really like but I don't want to rush into anything just yet, experience has taught me to be more careful about who I choose to have close to me.My week has been filled with activity....I've met many more people since I moved to Wellington over 6 weeks ago...I keep saying that I've only been here for 4 weeks because that is how I feel..time sure flies when you're having fun :P
I have been working longer hours because some of my work mates are on leave.I also went out to my first bar in Wellington...I've been to a few bars and clubs in Auckland but I was eager to see what the atmosphere is like here in the Windy City (atmosphere,windy....funny how that seemed to fit in the same sentence) I went to a place called Hotel Bristol on Cuba Street.It seemed like an aged colonial style "tavern" type place...filled mostly with middle-aged,upper-class patrons.They had pool tables and a lounge upstairs and they also have sizable TV screens fitted in viewing areas around a few of their rooms. My new-found friends had taken me out on a "boys night out" to show me around and to get to know me a little better. They all had the same first name "R" and they were only distinguished by a nickname.I just let them recommend a beer.I was bought a Kilkenny which is an Irish beer.I must say there is something classy about drinking beer that has it's heritage dating back to 14th century Ireland. I had a great time with my mates and they dropped me off to my new place.

I'll be back at work...talking to very interesting people :) I am also going to fly back to Auckland next month to see my sister.I'm feeling pretty content these days but I still need to get my social life up where it belongs.I work zombie shifts but I am planning to ask the great people at work to adjust my work schedule.
Keep smiling everyone and have a great day! or at least try to :P

"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

"I don't know,what do you wanna do?, I don't know,whatever you wanna do?,I don't know...."

Despite the "I don't know,what do you wanna do?, I don't know,whatever you wanna do?,I don't know....", part my date went really well :) my sis offered to drop me off and stake her out :P but that all went to the crapper when I met her...I was so intensely blown away by her...she was dressed up really "lightly" that night...I found that ironic because she asked me to wear something warm...coz the weather in the South is cold..hehe, she looked great and I just stood there like an idiot.lol. All I could say was...uhm...meet my sister and I pointed to them hiding out in the car to see what she looked like...oh yeah and my sister later told me "I like this one,she isn't like one of those other tramps" :O I was a little shocked,but fair enough,I know she doesn't like my other friends, and she doesn't have to :P

...well, we went to watch "Get Smart" :) - this was my choice,I think? she kept asking me..so what do you wanna watch?? then I say, oh I don't know what do you wanna watch?? (only fair coz she was paying for the whole thing!) aaaah you can't have a first date without being undecided! :P anyway it was an awesome movie...with classic lines from the show! I really had a good laugh...but I made one teeny weeny mistake, I didn't get the hint when it was dropped (or so she thought I didn't :P) When we got back to the car she said she wanted to hold my hand...and perhaps she was a little disappointed that I didn't but I wanted to hold her hand too but....I didn't want to do anything that would make her feel uncomfortable....we almost argued about the whole thing and in the end we did hold hands....in her car....after the movie! :P what a strange date! hehehe....anyway,I knew she was dropping the hint but I didn't do it and that kinda sucked,I just didn't feel like it :( ...my sister wanted me to have fun and so did all my friends, and I just acted like a stone wall, I'm not surprised if she doesn't want to ever see me anymore :P

So after that,I decided to turn things around by being all into it....so we went for "Wendy's" and she paid for everything,I did protest to her generosity but to no avail...I like her independence, it is truly something I want in a woman, she put on some music to get us in the mood and then....we kept talking about kissing until we eventually did kiss :P I was so nervous,we then talked some more about our little age difference..she is 26 going on 27...and I'm 24 but I didn't care, I liked her and we did have great conversation and she was funny and I was funnier :P After talking so much,she was tired or so I thought....she takes me home (yes she drives me...there is something so wrong with this picture :P) Its pouring, coz there has been a storm passing through and so I stay in the car and we start talking again....then I kiss her goodbye, and then, I kiss her goodbye again...then it was totally crazy! BUT yes, BUT, it stopped there coz....she said she wouldn't go any further! which was of cos...great news for me...but I wanted to test her ;) hehehee.....and I can say she passed my test :) She left and I went to my room and just lay there thinking about everything...it all felt like a dream! It was nice...so yep,it was cool.

so that was it...end of date:) If I had to rate it using 5 stars....I'd give it 4 and a half stars :)...and I can honestly say its THE BEST DATE EVER! since it was my only date :P ...now I'm back here in my room in da city....just typing out my blog...but it was so lifeless back at my sisters place....with something that my South African friend likes to call "internetlessness" WoW! I hope thats an actual word :P I went all low tech using my Nokia 3220 to post a comment on my friends blog ...nice :)

back to class tomorrow! yuck :(

"The deal goes down"

Today, I'll get to meet the lovely lady that gave me her number...yay!She has been calling me...getting me all excited about the meet up.LOL@ Wilson...haha...I'm not a kalavo (that is a Fijian word meaning-literally,"rat" but carries a double meaning as a street rat, or a "player" -definitely NOT me! :P) She had been getting me all excited, called me last night to discuss the details, we planned it right down to what we were gonna wear,yeah, we're control freaks :P lol. She is so funny! I finally don't feel so homesick, but probably a little lovesick, the more we talk about it, the more we want to see each other..it's crazy and I think I'm taking this a bit too fast...I can already feel how hard I'll hit the ground,crash and burn,if this all goes horribly wrong and I'm still "going for it" vinaka Wilisoni! :P

well, I have nothing to hide (unlike some people I know..hehe) I'm also thinking of sabotaging my date if I can sense any hint of it going to the shitzel! My plan was to act like a jerk, try to jump to second base immediately, my plan is evil! hehehe...but my chat buddy wrote what if it backfires? lol,I never thought of that....I think I'll just take the most classic advice ever! "Just be yourself" :)

Well, the anticipation has been too much for me......so I'm gonna go take a shower. I'll update my single status if I need to, until then, cherios! (eat them..they're yummy!)

my spanish word for today "el rata" :P
