My absence can be explained by our recently moving house. Unfortunately.. we don’t have internet yet.. so i’ll be a little slack blogger for a while.
And for this entry Ill share with you my new favourite place to hang out.. My very own bedroom with my own spacious closet & bath.
Love it. I do.
I yell so no one would listen.
And stay silent to be heard.
I want to look attractive so no one would notice me.
I’m always present and people don’t know I’m not really there.
I walk around so I can go no where.
And sit still to take me away.
I find crowds make me lonely.
So my solace has become my friend.
I smile so they can see through my sadness.
My tears release the little happiness I have left.
My mornings are the start of my waking sleep
I close my eyes at night that I may live another day.
———-
I know. gory, right?!
I’ll snap out of it.
Soon.
Who says piracy is a crime?!! Criminally fun maybe!!! ARRRRRRRR!!!
Had a great Sunday arvo and early evening sailing on Harold’s Pirate Ship Casseopia (spelling courtesy of Will. So if it’s wrong blame him.) with a bunch of awesome people mostly volunteers. We had a boat full of fun mostly shit talking, lounging, acting like monkeys & lots & lots of Posing!!
the gang (minus some) with the pirate harry
i’d rather kill myself than talk to you Osama
marion with an olsen twin. ha.
on the gang plank with verity

I hope it’s not the last time we sail like pirates.
Next time i’ll wear bathers and I’ll take a plunge. Promise.
View the complete album here.
o it’s not winter here. It is getting a bit chilly at night though.. Saw this in my sister’s blog & I knew if she tagged people she would have tagged me.
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs.
My playlist for this month includes:
1. POISON - Alice Cooper
don’t ask me why but I have been singing this song so much. good rage song i suppose. Scream it don’t sing it!
Dont want to touch you but you’re under my skin (deep in)
I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
2. WORN ME DOWN - Rachael Yamagata
Not so much anymore.. but for a while I kept singing this. Again angst.. issues.. but it doesn’t apply too much anymore but it was a big part of my consciousness some weeks back. Rachael Yamagata’s songs are so smooth. Love her!
Gone, she’s gone. How do you feel about it?
That’s what I thought, You’re real torn up about it
And I wish you the best, But I could do without it
And I will, because you’ve worn me down
3. HAND IN MY POCKET - Alanis Morissette
I listen to the acoustic version and it brings me back.. waay back. But oh her lyrics always hit right home specially when i was feeling under the weather & I’ll put special effort on NOT looking like shit. I’m sick but I’m pretty. I hear ya girl.
I’m broke but I’m happy
I’m poor but I’m kind
I’m short but I’m healthy, yeah
I’m high but I’m grounded
I’m sane but I’m overwhelmed
I’m lost but I’m hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be fine fine fine
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
4. BEAUTIFUL WORLD - Colin Hay
such a chilled out song. it reminds me so much of my friend Will.
All around is anger automatic guns
It’s death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones
I tried talking to Jesus but He just put me on hold
Said He’d been swamped by calls this week
And He couldn’t shake His cold
And still this emptiness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
When you’ve given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
Now I leave the party early at least with no regrets
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
Yeah this is as good as it gets.
5. DON’T STOP THE MUSIC - Rihanna
for a taste of clubbing music.. my favourite putting-on-make-up-&-primping for a night out song.
It’s gettin late
I’m making my way over to my favorite place
I gotta get my body moving shake the stress away
I wasn’t looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate (yeah)
Who knew that you’d be up in here lookin like you do
You’re makin’ stayin’ over here impossible
Baby I must say your aura is incredible
6. THE HEART OF LIFE - John Mayer
John John John. I love you. I’m loving this song right now. Great comforting song..
Pain throws your heart to the ground love turns the whole thing around
no it wont all go the way it should
but I know the heart of life is good
You know it’s nothin’ new bad news never had good timing
then the circle of your friends will defend the silver lining
7. CRASH INTO ME - Dave Matthews Band
One of my all time favourite songs. Still on my recent playlist.
You wear nothing but you wear it so well
Tied up and twisted the way Id like to be
For you, for me, come crash Into me
So those are the songs of the sound track of this month. Care to share yours?
So two people have left us. Off to new adventures.
Ale, Tata Julie!
Julie’s one of those people I see around town a lot. We’ve had a few sit down talks & she’s responsible for bringing us on boat days. I’m sorry I didn’t get to know her better before she left.
good luck in London babe!
Ale, Tata Pascal
Pascal’s awesome. He’s a good man to talk to & cool boy to hang out with.
“It’s not peer pressure.. it’s just your turn.” Ha ha.
Have fun in Thailand boy! Maybe we’ll get to have coffee there.
LUKIM YU guys!!!
It started on Saturday, the 24th. her actual birthday. We went to the The Sebel to try their breakfast buffet. It’s actually a very good deal for VT1500 pp. It was surprisingly awesome. Trick is to go there late (it goes til noon) so it’s considered brunch and heap it up!
I’m not trying for the celebrity hiding from the paparazzi look. The annoying truth is I’ve had this really fug eye sty throughout this weekend. I committed the mortal sin of wearing sunnies indoors. Outrage! I’ve always hated people who wore sunnies inside malls and shops. But I thought it’s better to commit the taboo rather than have people think I’m winking at them.
So after our posh brunch we walked to the market and I let mum run amok and buy to her heart’s content. I usually follow her around like a pesky mosquito reminding her not to buy too much as we can’t carry it, that we don’t need that, it’ll never be eaten and it will go to waste. But that day, I kept mum (pun intended) whilst my arms slowly got dislocated as she passed me bags of steak, star fruits, coconuts (4!!!!) and flowers. We then went to Au Bon Mache for a quick whirl for things we so desperately need.
Yeah.. I know it’s supposed to be posted on Thursdays but my internet’s been acting up again.
Me & my man on our own patch of paradise
Love..
…this particular beach - Kakula. Our own little island.
…the many shades of blue from the sea to the sky..
…this particular morning in a secluded stretch of beautiful white sand reading, snoozing, chatting, cuddling, wading, bonding.
…this photo. so chill. so relaxed. just like we were.
I had one of those late night thoughts last night:
I am an airplane.
My life might as well be lived in a friggin tarmac. I see an exorbitant amount of comings and goings of people from different directions at different times.. and then there’s my own constant take offs and landings and pit stops.
While I’m grounded at this particular airport I’ve come to certain realizations.
..There are different planes.. different airlines.. different sizes and capabilities. And each airlplane carries its own baggage, has its own manifest of people they carry on board and their own crew that ensures smooth flight..
..yet you all fly under the same sky and everyone hits turbulence. It doesn’t matter how good a pilot is manning the plane.. bad weather happens to everyone. You just have to ride it out and do everything you can to keep to your course while staying aloft..
..and it doesn’t even matter where you’ve been or where you are going next. No plane is better than the other.. you all go through the same challenges. Everything is at the mercy of the elements.. you never know what life will throw at you next..
..but you’ll all keep on flying because that’s what you’re meant to do & you’re most majestic when you’re up there braving the unknown. pursuing your own journey.
But right now I’m happy sitting on this tarmac.
Refueling. Reloading. Repairing.
This post is brought to you by my massive hangover…
my favourite cure:
Moo’s Juice (lime, ginger & lemon)
& a plate of hot chips
I am in dire need of one right now.
This is a meme I’m continuing on from my old blog. There is a better explanation on my first Love Thursday post there.
I think it is only apt that my first love Thursday post is dedicated to 3 out of the 5 people I love most - my family. My mum, my sister & my brother in South Australia from when mum went to Oz last week.
aren’t they gorgeous. I miss my sibs so much!!
