A month…

So, a month has gone by. Not too bad. Better than 4 months. It has been busy.

Work is work. Busy, stressful, you name it, it will probably be all that.

Apartment needs cleaning, so as I pack up to go to my parents house for the weekend and nobody is on Skype that I need to talk to, I have been doing my dishes and clearing out my fridge. Something that I haven’t done for a while. (Opps…)

So my fathers sister is coming over to Melbourne on September the 8th. I am trying to get annual leave, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. I may have to ask sometime next week, if I can get it. I will then be going home (the net works better at home too) to my parents place, since my parents would want me home every weekend when she is here.

Anyway, what has been happening … nothing much at the moment. Been playing Second Life like non stop. That’s pretty sad in a way. Haha. I will be putting pictures up of it, when I get the time too. This site seems a little bland when there aren’t any pictures. Unlike before. I’ve been so busy and too lazy lately. My tendonitis in my knee is starting back up, which sucks a lot, but oh well.

Nothing else has been happening. I just can’t wait to go back home and get to see my puppies. I miss my puppies. I need to take more pictures of them, since Toto is actually pretty old and he is getting a little sick. I should get back into photography. I miss taking random pictures. I need to get back into it. I find it’s very relaxing.

Anyway, that is all for now. I will try and write again soon, with something more interesting. Nothing seems to be happening in this boring life of mine right now.

Absent for 4 months.

That’s just ridiculous. I’m sorry. Things that happen in real life does get in the way a lot of the time. I barely have time for myself, to be honest. And I miss those days… those days where I can just throw on a romantic movie, comedy, horror, documentary or a disney movie, make myself a cup of hot chocolate and huddle in bed with junk food and just sit there all day. Those days where I can play my guitar. Days where I was more motivated to do something.

I guess things change. These days I find myself too busy with work, and in a way studying (I’ll admit, I need to do WAY more studying!)

Anyway, not much has been happening. Everyday is basically a routine. Waking up and going to work, coming home, shower, dinner, sleep. Repeat it for the next day. Weekends, I often come over to my parents place. Hey, anything for those free meals huh?

Tuesday I have a day off and I have trouble motivating myself to clean up my place. It’s lame I know.

Oh, that and the shortage of money ALL THE TIME! But alas, it’s tax season, so I should be somewhat richer. That government sure does like to take a load of money from my pay at work. It sucks, since of course I need the money, but it will have to do. I usually am pretty good with what I spend. (Second Life doesn’t help a bit either!). The money I’ll get from tax, I will deff. be saving. Hopefully for a holiday somewhere, which is very very very very much needed I say. But, there’s nobody to go with. *sighs* Oh wells.

This will be short I think. Second Life is calling out my name somehow, but I will be back. Hopefully not another 4 months later …

No time!!

Time really does fly by when you’re busy. It’s just going WAY too fast for my liking.

I’ve been working my butt off in the Operating theatre and have pretty much ended up messing up my knees or legs or something. I guess my Nursing shoes weren’t meant to be worn in the Operating Theatre. So, I’m going to the Podiatrist today to see what’s going on with my crazy little feet.

I should be putting more pics on this. This blog seems to plain. I will do something about that soon.

I’ve been trying to study on the weekends while I’m at my parents place. It’s a bit hard when my friends want to hang out. I might be going out tonight. I don’t know yet. I hope not.

This is just a quick update, I promise to do more really soon!! Send me an email and tell me off!

New life in my new dorm!

I’m so sorry for not writing about my BIG MOVE! I thought that my internet would be working, but it didn’t! I emailed the company about it. (My new dorm is switching Internet Servers), and they said by the end of the week, which should mean around now?! But too late, I’m come over to my parents house to sleep over for the night. To use the net that I have been deprived off. I need to get some information from this as well, so that’s another reason as to why I had to come back. To get it. And of course, I missed my family and my puppies!

The week at my dorm has been plesant, I haven’t met too many people. I did crash into one person when I was moving my stuff up. It was a guy (cute!), that was taking his rubbish out. I don’t know if he was international, but yeah, we just smiled, and that was it. I haven’t spoken to anyone. Even though, I’d like to. It does get a bit lonely.

I caught up with one of my friends that I went to TAFE with a few years back, Michelle. We hadn’t seen each other in so long now, and we caught up and had dinner at Chadstone Shopping Centre. It was good. We ate Asian food! (Go figure!). I bought a new cover for my iPhone, but I’ve been meaning to unlock it. We went to Vodafone to ask and it’s all online and stupid stuff like that, so I went home and I tried via my iPhone since I didn’t have the internet, and it wouldn’t let me. It was pretty frustrating to be honest. But it’s around $25 to do it online. I’ve been thinking about it, since I know that I have to save my money for my rent and my bills. (Thank God, I start work on Monday!)

As for pictures of my place. I will put it up, ONCE i have gotten the net. It feels pretty weird not having the net in my room and I just have to resort in watching TV and walking around and going out and such, but hopefully within this week I will be getting the net. Woo!

I don’t know what else to add!? Norway is ranked 2 on the medal tally! Woo!! NORGE! I think A. Svindel won to make it 5 Golds. I’ve been trying to keep up with it, but they don’t show it too much over here.

Oh, I’ve been studying as well. Woo, go me! It feels a little odd going back to studying after I have already graduated and gotten my Degree in Nursing. But I chose to extend my studying into the Perioperative field. For once, I don’t have to deal with the patients and their families. It will be one patient at a time, and a majority of the time, they’re sleeping while they’re being operated on! Which is always a good thing at times. I tend to be anti-social, I guess.

Anyway, I think that’s all from me at the moment. Not a lot has been happening. I’ve finished Grad Year, but most likely won’t get my Certificate. Well, I did finish early to do my post graduate year. Oh well.

Until next time.

xoxoxoxo

I hate construction workers.

Indeed I do.

Not a lot has happened since I last blogged. My life is actually pretty boring these days. I’m surprised in my last blog I said I was packing. That was true. I can still continue with that and say that I am still packing!!
But this time I have more time to. Last time, I was busy working and would come home completely exhausted. This time, I have annual leave for two weeks. (Break!)

Ok, after saying I was on annual leave, I checked my bank account because today is PAY DAY! At least I have enough for rent for a few months, and I will be starting work, so that should be alright.

So, there are construction workers that have been fixing the footpaths. I don’t see why, when there is nothing wrong with them. Is it to make it whiter? What? I’m pretty sure my dad has moved my car into the street as well as their own because they’re most likely doing the pavement outside out driveway and I don’t want to be boxed in for a day? I have things to do!

I still have some studying to do. Boring. But I need it.

Last night, I hung out with my best friend Dianne and her boyfriend Daniel. I caught up with them and played pool, that was alright. Then she had to get a medical certificate, so I went back home to talk to Matthew. Then she messaged me afterwards and we ended up playing bowling next. Was fun fun. I’m planning to catch up with her again on the weekend. Should be good.

But that’s basically all that has been happening. Not much really. My packing is I would say more than half done. Woo!

Oh! Oh! The blog under here about my saving problems. I’ve been doing good! Matthew has been making me save and I even made myself a Budget Book. It’s working!

Where does all my money go????

I’m actually writing in frustration at the moment. This is because I’m packing my stuff up and moving into my dorm in around 3 weeks time. Today, its only (8.02AM) and I have to go to the bank when it opens to get a cheque made or money order, I figured a cheque from the bank. The cheque is for 1) $1912 for the bond and first months rent. 2) $170 for the bond of and first months rent for the car space. Doing this, I looked at my bank account and was completely gobsmacked with the lack of money it’s holding. Where is it all going?

So a long time goal of mine was to purchase a house. I don’t think that will happen for  a while. Not until I get all my money issues out of the way. it’s so frustration to see that by the time the bank takes the money out, I will be left with very little. Hah. How will I live? I would have to start eating dirt and baby food. I think I get paid soon. Next week, but I’ve taken 4 days of sick leave because of my ear infection. Actually, I hope I get paid for my sick leave. I don’t actually know how many more hours of sick leave I have, but I have had 2 occurrences already that I didn’t have a medical certificate. (I used them when I was in the medical ward, because I absolutely hate medical wards!) In orthopedics, I’m absolutely enjoying myself. And for the first time, I had to use my sick leave for when I was actually sick. And I only have 2 weeks left. I’m psyched. I don’t really like ward Nursing. I find it a little boring. But oh well.

So Money. Money that I do not have anymore. Where did you go? It is seriously such a shame. I need to take strict action from now on. To keep my money from disappearing from who knows where it goes. I really need to. I need all the money I can get if I want to buy a house.

I put blame upon myself. I seriously have saving issues!

Happy New Year!!

Just making this very short and sweet. I hope everyone had an awesome New Year.

I’m currently house sitting at my cousin Melissa’s place. House sitting and taking care of a puppy.

Playing around with the Wii! It’s just way too funny. But the puppy Darla is sleeping. She has her moments of playing with her toy, getting hyper, then falling asleep for a while. It’s adorable.

At the doctors.

I hate seeking medical attention unless I really need to do so. And now it’s one of those times. I got a nasty ear infection and was given Erythromycin and I’m getting really shitty side effects. Upper abdo pain, nausea and vomitting, and loss of appetite. Its ridiculous really and I want a change of medication, if possible.

That’s enough of my whining. I’m sitting here waiting. Another 3 people left. Yay. Good I came kinda early. At least it wasn’t full of people. That would suck. I just need a medical certificate and meds if I can.

I’ve started my pill popping. Boo!!

A Sad Case of Insomnia.

So, I’m lying here in bed typing on the blackberry and I can’t sleep. Matt has just left his house to go off to his dorm for more studying. He also has a sad case of insomnia. More serious than mine to be honest.

I’m semi sick. I have a nasty ear infection that canes so bad and also leaving me partially deaf in one ear. I must admit, it was worse before. Last time, I was completely deaf in one ear! That, and stupid me went to work that day. Big ass mistake! Not good at all! Not only was I completely deaf in one ear and a little off balance a majority of the time (since, being a nurse, does require you to do a lot of walking), but, I was also suffering from side effects from the antibiotic the doctor has perscribed to me. Loss of appitite and upper abdominal pain. Actually the upper abdominal pain is what hurt the most. The pain was shocking. It was like your stomach rumbling when its hungry and slowing trying to devour itself. And now, I’m contimplating on staying off for a further couple of days til this stupid thing goes away, but at the sane time feeling bad because I only have around 2 weeks left of work before I finish up and transfer to my new dorm on Feb. 12. And starting my new job in the Operating Theatre! (Yay!)

Well, I guess that’s the only boring details of my life at the moment.

Oh, that and today I went shopping for home appliances. Well, not appliances, since I managed to get most from the Boxing Day Sales, but things like dishwashing detergent, paper towels, stuff like that.

Ok, other than that. Nothing interesting.
Oh! 11 days until the Australian Open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too bad I’m working around then hah.

I Love My Cousins!

I can’t believe how fast Christmas just came and went. Boo. I never really got to enjoy it as much as I use to. Probably because I had been working so much. I missed out on seeing my cousins because I was working a late on Christmas Eve, but I made it to Christmas at my other cousins place but didn’t get to see two of my cousins.

But, fortunately, my cousin Brian organised for us to have dinner last night and Vinh Long Restaurant. So a lot of us were there. Minus Melissa, but I saw her on Christmas with her boyfriend Ian. It was absolutely amazing to see my cousins again since I haven’t seen my older cousins in so long. My cousin Melanie lives over in Perth and my cousin Liza and her fiance live in Sydney now. I don’t remember when the last time I saw her. I know I saw Melanie last Christmas, so that was a year ago, and with Liza, I haven’t seen her for almost a whole year. She and her fiance Chau were engaged in August.

We ate so much that day. And we had dessert. Yummo!

I just missed my cousins so much and I Love them all. It was just amazing to see them all again. We’re all growing up and going our different ways. I will alway cherish our little gatherings.
