It feels like I haven’t been online in yonks. Really it’s only been a few days. The reason is because a new school year has started! As much as I always hate having to go to school through out the year, I’m pretty excited (: It’s been so boring at home. The first two days of school were really boring, though. I’m hoping it will get better.
My classes are pretty alright. I have a few friends in all my classes except for my art class (I know the majority of the people in it, but I hate most of them. haha). There are people I get along with quite well in it, but it’s no fun when you’re surrounded by people who you really dislike. So at the moment I’m not so excited about my art class, and my maths class (Like most, I hate maths. Somehow I am in a maths extension class though. o_o). Last year I was with the same people in most of my classes, this year all of my classes are mixed with people who I’ve seen around, some people who I know, and some people who I have never noticed in the 3 years I’ve been at my school “/ So it’s a little weird. meh. Hopefully I can get used to it in a month though. I really hope so. It will make school so much better. lol
Can’t wait until all the good school stuff starts (: Music stuff, school socials, athletics day, house events, etc. I sort of hope my house fails this year. This might sound mean but our new house captain is made of fail. She discarded all of our old house cheers (there were 5 which were all pretty good), and replaced them with two totally unoriginal and messed up ones that she made up. One of the chants wasn’t even cheering our house on, and instead just saying stuff about the other houses (e.g. Calling the other houses POO and HOE BAGS and stuff. WTF?! Seriously. Grrrrrr. Idk why the hell the teachers are letting it stay. I won’t tell you the actual chant otherwise you will cringe until you get cramps in your face.) So yeah. I’m sad to have to force myself not to participate as whole-heartedly in house events as I used to simply because I don’t want our house to win this year. Lol.
Something that isn’t too good about school starting is that I will probably spend more money than I did in the holidays now. Lol. I’m still saving but I just can’t be bothered saving the majority of it anymore. I only save half. My school is right in the middle of town, so most days after school I’ll go into town and buy a whole lot of stuff. This used to not to be a problem when I hated walking around town by myself, because most people was with their friends. When I was too… embarassed I guess (even though it’s not even embarassing o_O) I would only go to town after school with friends, and that wasn’t often. Now that I don’t really care I’m going into town after school all the time to accidentally on purpose spend all my moooolaaah. Danggggittttt. At least it makes me happy I guess “/ haha
Sort of random… but… have you ever been stuck in a class, or been on a bus with someone who is totally cool to hangout with in a group… but hanging out with them just on your own is soooooooo incredibly awkward? >__> I have. It sucks to say I probably create 60% of the awkwardness. Lol
I know this blog is all over the place. No proper introduction, no proper outro or whatever. I’m rather lazy at the moment so you’ll have to excuse me. I don’t want to end the blog with no sort of goodbye or anything though so for now guys… PEACE OUT

Has anyone watched that episode of the Tyra Show where those women go and get plastic surgery at the black market? I feel for them, really… but they are so darn stupid. Even a certified Plastic Surgeon can totally botch your surgery so there’s a really high chance a non-qualified black market surgeon will botch it or even kill you. I even read an article the other day about a qualified plastic surgery center in South Florida; they’ve botched soooo many surgeries, and two people have even died only a few days after having surgery with them. One lady even had to have both her legs amputated after a tummy tuck by them.
To me personally, I don’t have a problem with people have Plastic Surgery. If it makes them happy and they’re not getting lots and lots of work done, then it’s all good. Just as long as they did lots of research on their surgeon ahead of time everything then I think it’s fine. A lot of plastic surgeons will do a good job, and another handful are only in it for the money and will butcher your surgery. But Black Market plastic surgery? Well… I personally think getting plastic surgery in the black market is just asking for your life to be ruined.
Questions
1. Would you ever get Plastic Surgery?
2. What do you think about people going to the black market to get work done?
3. Would you prefer textures or brushes (for download)?
P.S. I know this blog post is sort of totally random, but I just watched this episode and I just couldn’t believe people would actually go there.

Okay, I’ve finally decided. I desperately need to stop spending and start saving! I checked my card statement to see how much I have spent this month and I’ve spent $539 O__O. Then the other day I bought a new school bag for $60 (ARGH. I hate shopping at surf shops cause they’re ridiculously overpriced but I loved the bag so much), a wallet for $30, and a handbag for $30 (which is sort of funny. I spent more money on the school bag than the handbag “/ lol). I bought one last thing… and it was the best thing that I bought… a money tin (:
When I got my pay on Saturday I ran and stuffed almost all the money (except $20) into the tin before I would change my mind. Today I went shopping with some friends and I was like, “ZOMG I HAVE TO GET THAT!” But I only had $40 in my wallet which I needed to buy something more important ): I was all like, Damn me! Why’d I have to put all my money away?! But I’m super glad I did I also left my debit card at home so I wouldn’t use that if I didn’t have enough money. I’m going to keep doing that and hopefully have enough to buy a Macbook Pro by at least my birthday. I have to pay $200 a month for my braces though so it’ll take me a little longer than it normally would. But I’m back to work 5 days a week until school starts again now so I’ll be able to save just under $1000 before I have to go back to school :p
My target = not quite sure. Last time I checked it was around $3000.
I told a friend that I needed to save about $3000 and that it was going to take me ages and they were like, “LOL. That’s not even a lot!” And honestly… that pissed me off so much. I didn’t say anything otherwise I would have probably had a rage at them. asbgjhwrebnmbsmf. I hate it when people are like that. Like… just because they’re rich >____> I should have told them to buy it for me then.
That was sort of random ^. But it really annoyed me. Anyways… hopefully I can get it before half way through this year. I haven’t used Photoshop in about half a year because my laptop is so incredibly crappy. That sort of sucks because when I start using it again it’ll take me a while to get used to it. I miss Photoshop ): I almost forgot how much I loved it. Right. I’ve just decided I’m going to set a weekly budget for me. Not sure what it will be yet but $30 at the most.
-
Ahhhh shit. I just remembered. I’m supposed to be saving for a DSLR camera as well O_O. YIKES!
-
Not sure how long it’ll take my to get resources up. I rock at being lazy. But if you want old resources / tutorials you can find some at my LiveJournal (:
P.S. Everything is in NZD just so ya’ll know. $60 US on a school bag? Pffft. Yeah right. haha. (60 NZ is like… 42 US)
Random Questions
1. Do you use a PC or a Mac?
2. What’s a pet peeve of yours?
3. Are you currently saving for anything?
4. If so, what?

Omg soooooo lately I’ve become absolutely addicted to an Australian show called Bondi Rescue. It’s a reality tv show, following the lifeguards of Bondi Beach in Australia doing their job. I first started watching it because I learnt that an ex-actor Ryan Clarke (you might know him from Home and Away as Sam Marshall, or Our Lips Are Sealed as Pete) was in it. I saw pics of him but he isn’t very photogenic. So then I decided to check out some vids and I was like OMG I have to watch Bondi Rescue. So I watched it and he’s nicknamed ‘Whippet’ in it. I completely fell in love with the show! I love it so much!!! I don’t know why. One of the reasons is the hot lifeguards, but the show is just also really really addicting. The lifeguards do such an amazing job. I’m glad they made the show to show everyone that it’s actually really hard being a life guard. I watched all four seasons in 3 days (: Can’t wait til Season 5 starts.
There was one episode in Season 2 however which was really sad. A man from mongolia had just moved to Australia with his wife and 2 or 3 children a week earlier, and he was seen struggling in the water. The lifeguards went out to him but by the time they got there he was nowhere to be seen. They didn’t think anyone could drown that fast so they thought maybe he had made it back to shore somehow. Especially because noone had reported him missing. They searched for 45 minutes for him, and with no luck they had to get back to patrolling the beach normally. 2 hours later an asian boy reports his father missing, and everything fits the description of the man seen earlier. They do a search and after a long while they find a dead body in the water. It is the body of the mongolian man. What makes it even sadder was that it was his birthday on that same day. It was the first drowning on Bondi Beach in 4 years (which I think is an absolutely amazing job considering there are over 20,000 people on the beach a day and up to 250 rescues a day). It was extremely sad. You could tell the lifeguards were really quite upset by it. But you could also see that they did everything they could to try and save this man from when he was first spotted, even when he was pulled out of the water 2 hours later. After that his family had to move back to Mongolia which was also quite sad “/
But apart from the tragedies such as that (which doesn’t happen very often) it is really entertaining as well. I love the show so much (: Don’t get me wrong…. I absolutely love Glee but I can go watching Bondi Rescue waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy longer than I can go watching Glee episode after episode. I can watch Supernatural for longer than Glee as well but I’m not sure if I can go for longer than Bondi Rescue. Maybe equal. If you don’t get the show where you are you can easily watch it on youtube (:

First off, I want to say Happy New Year everyone! I didn’t get a chance to post a blog on New Years day because I was at the beach (: But I hope everyones new year is getting off to a good start.
Alright. So I usually don’t make New Years resolutions because I tend to break them. This year though, I decided to make some. Two of my main ones were…
1. Spend less money
2. Lose weight
I’ve already broken one ): Gaaaah. My sister told me that she thinks I have a shopping problem. Anyways… a few days ago I placed an order at a website (I won’t say which… cause I’ve already spent a lot there before… lol) that came to $88 USD + $24 shipping. Then I placed an order on ebay which came to $54 US (including shipping though thankfully). Then I placed an order on some things from another website which came to $73 USD + $25 shipping. Gaaaaaaahhhhhhh. My weakness is SALES! I mean, it’s great the black friday, cyber monday, new years, etc all have really good specials and sales. But it’s also verrrrrryyy bad for people like me, who can’t help it when they see a good deal and go and break their wallet on everything, and then crush their wallet to add shipping on top of that. Today I also went to a Lush store (yep… I drove two hours just to go to a lush store) and spent $88 NZD. I’m pretty proud about that though. Originally I was going to buy $138 NZD worth of stuff, but my mum was standing right there so I was like ’shit. better put some back incase she goes off about my spending’ lol. But now I’m like… damnit. I should have just bought at least another toner because that’s $9.50 and that’s how much shipping costs to order online ): Anyways… I totally broke my first new years resolution. I’m going to try and stop spending…. until my birthday…. no fine, I’ll try to stop for as long as I can. I was all excited for my birthday cause I felt so guilty about my overspending that I was like “Yipee. When it’s my birthday I can buy myself a present!” (I was planning on buying myself something for $89 USD + 14 shipping, but when my birthday comes around I’m going to make sure I don’t have any money… lol)
I think I’ve been sticking to my 2nd NY resolution though (: Last time I ate really bad was on Christmas day. Oh and I ate a Kids Meal at Wendy’s today but that’s okay cause I like walked all day. Lol. I’m 1.8 kgs lighter than the last time I weighed myself
Now for something site related. I really want to start adding a lot more stuff to the website. But I also want to switch it to WP first which I have no idea of what to do. So it might take a while but stuff will soon be added (:
P.S. The money I spend is my own which I work hard for (and then go and blow on everything that’s on sale o____o). Not my mums or anything. I just wanted to say that so people aren’t like… ’spoiled child’ or anything. haha.
Questions
1. What did you do for New Years?
2. Did you make any New Years Resolutions?
3. If so, what were they?
4. How often do you break your NY’s resolutions?
