The craze that is RUGBY.

I spent a very productive Friday despite not sleeping very well last night. I was up relatively early.
I did house chores, tidied up, did the laundry, painted my nails (saved 40 bucks for that) and i took a long leisurely walk (45 minutes going) to Ponsonby to get some flowers for Raphael's Christening tomorrow. And I had another good 45 minute walk back. The sun was out, the wind was blowing gently, it was a perfect spring day. I am very glad that I did take that walk. And for a change, I ate out by myself for a late lunch munching on chicken and bread. It wasn't eating chicken that was a change for me. It was the eating out by myself that is. Y'know for the longest time since being with Gelo, I have not eaten out by myself again. So that was a good breather. I was sitting by myself, probably looking weird but people here don't care anyway, daydreaming, having some peace and quiet (not that we don't have enough quiet here in NZ, because trust me, we do).

In saying that, Auckland was beaming with excitement and people today, I notice while I was walking home. It's noisy and loud with horns honking, people screaming, lots of face paints, the streets a little bit too crowded than usual and it is very busy! Nowhere near to the happy busy that Manila is, but somewhere within that spectrum, Auckland is somehow joining the bandwagon and actually extending noise limit to 2am! Horray!

So once I have my makeup done and I've changed into my black top, I'm off to see history.

Photos soon.

The half a year that's gone but shared in photos

I opted to make a change in lifestly so I did join and finished a marathon

Had cocktails in a Mexican restaurant after a hearty Thai dinner (photo below)

Because we craved for chinese food

And I find that cups of tea are more comforting than cocktails

Breakfast buffet to celebrate one of my favourite person's birthday and our common love for breakfast food!

Blogging Hiatus

No entries AT ALL for the past 7 months. And today because it is the 1st day of spring, I am filled with all the optimism and motivation, deciding to break the writing block.

I am back!

What an eventful 7 months that was. The trouble with me I find is that I go on extremes. I prefer the quiet and peace of staying indoors rather than the hustle and bustle of town's fortnight alcohol spree. But whenever I break the patern and start spending less time at home, I actually forget that there's that part of me that is happy with just being by myself.

So to make it up (and to not waste the investment of 110 previous posts I've made), the next entry will be lots of storytelling about my absence.
