You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

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.
