I mean I guess you find things you have a knack for and continue to do them, but even the things I am best at I tend to wish I could do better. Part of that is outside influence and being compared with others. I am perfectly satisfied to pick up/ sit down with an instrument and just play and play and play for the physical satisfaction of doing it even though I can't imagine learning and remembering how to correctly play a song. I've played the bass guitar for 20 years and I can play a couple of little parts of songs but I don't think I could play a whole song by any other band or musician from beginning to end.

http://images.google.co.nz/images?h  Sometimes when I ride the train, there's this funny Maori bloke-y Kiwi man who processes tickets. He says, hi to every customer and asks how they are doing. Usually, he tells everyone to have a nice day. And if it's a Friday, he'll sing "It's friiiiiiiiiiiday!" and talk over the intercom welcoming tourists to NZ, cracking jokes. Today, he pretended to be a pilot and went on and on about how there was a delay on the "Britomart runway" and our Air New Zealand flight would be able to land in a few minutes and to "sit back and relax" and "have a nice day" of course. Everybody can't help but smile and laugh every single time. I wonder what he'll be saying next week... Tue, Nov. 3rd, 2009, 10:51 pm
Tonight, we went out to dinner (Mexican) for Jeff's birthday w/ his friends Emma and Sarah. We went to Rakino's, and that's where we saw Terryl Leigh AND Rebecca Rose from NZ's N Top Model. Also, Jeff work's w/ Laura...the runner up from NZ's NTM. They're everywhere I tell you! Mon, Nov. 2nd, 2009, 04:07 pm
1) Stop drinking soda--this is going to be SO hard, one of my favorite feelings is that first sip of Diet Coke in the morning. I did have a Diet Coke this morning, but I just read this article that makes me want to stop drinking soda, so it's starting as of now. No more soft drinks, diet or not. 2) Start walking 3 days a week. Obviously more would be better, and switching it up would be better, but I just need to get active again. I used to go to the gym every day, and now I haven't been in three months! That's ridiculous! It's FREE, why don't I go?! 3) Clean out my closet (and bookshelves, DVDs, etc). Gala Darling had a great series about this a while back. Plus, if I tried selling my DVDs & stuff instead of just taking things to Goodwill I might be faster at reaching goal number... 4) Finish Christmas shopping. I have something for both parents, although I could definitely get more for each of them. Two brothers, roommate, family friend...I tend to be pretty good at finding deals, and I want to get things that people will want/use/enjoy, not just get a gift so they have something to open. So even if I don't totally finish this month, I can make a good effort. 5) Clean every week. Common areas every other week, bedroom in between. I let things get pretty slovenly, honestly, and that's gross & unhealthy & I can't appreciate the things I have because they're all hidden behind boxes and under chairs and covered in dog hair. Most of the time I really don't notice it, but I think I'd be happier (and I'm sure the roommate would be) if I kept things cleaner. So that's my five goals for November. I have a couple more I am going to try to work on as well, eating all my fruits & veggies, sticking to Meatless Mondays (although I cheated today with country ham rolls), and setting up a budget/plan to get my credit cards paid off (aiming to use the snowball method & have them paid off by next Christmas...my original goal was this Christmas, but that is absolutely not happening, which sucks). I'm probably going to update about them regularly on here--I was originally writing this on Tumblr, but I feel like I've been neglecting the LJ so I will try to come back here more often.

 (click the picture to see full size)I did the painted part and Mike from Earthless did the sun and the text. I'm really proud of it!! Sun, Nov. 1st, 2009, 11:38 pm
There were a million opening acts (that I didn't really care for), and OTA didn't go on until about 1:30-2:00 AM. AURGH! They were really amazing though. Definitely my favourite NZ band (after FOTC!) It made me a bit sad to think that if I move back home, I'll prolly never see them again. I think it's cute how the lead singer has a solo project and writes songs about having crushes on people. And he EVEN dances around all giddy-like in his music videos. This should be your "I have a crushhhhhh on someone song." Nikky you're so cool, and it's even cooler that you're a fan of Kevin Shields. You should date my bestie, LSL. Fri, Oct. 30th, 2009, 01:04 pm

So there goes my fitness, I've taken way too many weeks off the bike and I'm sure it'll be hard to get it back. ALSO... I replaced my phone and iTunes decided to save what I have on my new phone, which is nothing, and replaced EVERYTHING I had saved on my old phone. So now I have nothing. Literally, nothing. I'm basically starting over... I lost my contacts, email address, pictures, saved files, notes, calendar, favorite youtube videos..., voice memos, god damn books I downloaded, yearbook yourself pictures, some app I paid for that I now lost cus I didn't back up my phone when I had the chance... EVERYTHING! ahh! sooo bummed. so gimme your number :) via text; email; message...whatevs. Especially if you're going to HARD this weekend.. Wed, Oct. 28th, 2009, 09:46 pm

However, not wanting to rely solely on his family, he put up his own business which eventually became successful. Paul earned enough money to study abroad. What would you consider your greatest accomplishment so far? To be here in PBB. I never expected I would be chosen. What/who will you miss the most upon entering Kuya’s house? My family, friends, girlfriend, car. If you can be a celebrity for a day, who would you be and why? Brad Pitt. He’s a good actor. Do you think you’ll get along well with the other housemates? Why? I get along with almost everyone. What would irritate/annoy you inside the house? People with no manners. He's still in the house!!! The producers of the show were debating on whether they'd choose him or his older brother. They kept joking about how if they went on the show..."who'd take care of the family business?"

New York City = 2600 hours Seattle = 2100 hours Auckland = 2000 hours Tokyo = 1600 hours London = 1400 hours I'm still not over my fascination with the weather. Auckland gets more rain and has less (or equal amount of) sunshine compared to Seattle. Mon, Oct. 26th, 2009, 03:01 pm

The next day I met up with Ingrid for lunch at a cafe on Vulcan Lane. We talked about how easy it is to feel "stuck" sometimes. Current Mood:

It's silly and not so newsworthy to me. There's an actual picture of a mummy wearing Abercrombie and her kids dressed up like Gap kids. Fashion war breaks out at school gates A silent war between yummy mummies and slummy mummies is being waged in Auckland's upmarket suburbs. The former, with disposable income and time on their hands, ensure they are immaculate on the school run; the latter opt for comfort - trackpants and sneakers - rather than high fashion. "There is an element of that," said mum Nicky Cranshaw outside Ponsonby Primary this week. "I don't think there's a competition, but there are some mothers who think there is a code." Catherine Coop, whose son Walter has just started at the school, agreed that some mothers think you have to look a certain way. "I have noticed that there are a variety of looks. The sporty look, people going to meetings. Each to their own." A young mum who didn't want to be named said she was aware of a fashion face-off. "Because I'm younger, I notice it more. I'm stepping into another world. It's a higher socio-economic group - go figure. It's a money thing - an expression of how much money you have through your clothes."
