Minnie Mouse Skirt + some moping

Minnie Mouse Skirt. How to is here. I'm really pleased with it xD

It's been a bad week just because i got a $400 fine (driving an unwarranted and unregistered car). And my now ex pretty much hates me *sighs*. I can't pay off my fine at all because I get $180 a week. $100 goes to rent, the rest goes on groceries and petrol and I don't know, it goes really quick! So it's a bit of a tough time. I was saving for a warrant but I got caught when I was halfway through saving up. I just can't wait to get out of Christchurch and get a job. I feel trapped here. And the public transport is too shit and expensive to bother with grrr.


The Earthquake memorial is tomorrow (I know a lot of people are finding it hard in Christchurch atm. Their house is fucked or they can't get a job or they've lost loved ones etc). Japan day is on the 11th of March. I plan to go to the memorial/festival thing. I feel like I should be going to the memorial tomorrow too but now that I have to bike everywhere, it's more difficult. And I would only pop up there, not stay for ages. I don't know if I should go.


It's difficult to get a job, but I'm just going to have to start looking until I get one. If I can save enough money, I should be able to go to hopefully go to Korea. I just hope they don't have any disasters :(


I think I'm just in a moping mood haha. Japanese is pretty hard atm. I don't know half the vocab, but when I check my translations, the 3rd years say it's fine. Idk, why do I feel so behind in class though?

Puppies turn into dogs

I visited my parents because I haven't seen them in a month (Been so busy!!). Caught up with their dogs. They love cuddles and playing xD .. I was staring at Sam and thinking just how much he had grown.

Sammy

The runt Jacob.

My dad with Sam and Casper.

Left: me and Sam, start of 2011. Right: me and Sam now xD

Me and Sam cuddling and leaning on my dad. Hehe

Flower Horse

I just finished making this for my friend (her birthday). Hope you like.

                        

More Yuki Pie

I swear she looks Japanese xD

After I saw Yuki and talked to Stevo about getting my car warranted (he helped do some phone calls so I know where to go for 2nd hand tyres etc) I went to see Rachel for her birthday. Someone had made her blue cake "smurf cake" and it was soooo delicious!

*watches a tribute to Jaime Gilbert* :( he just shouldn’t have died. He was too talented.

I am so sick of his bullshit and I want it to stop! I don't want to be with him! But I feel like I have no say. All I can do is try to avoid him as much as I can.

My tree stand collapsed :'( it's because I used cellotape instead of a hot glue gun. I couldn't be bothered remaking it, so I cellotaped it all together and pinned it to the wall. I think I'll get sick of it but it'll do for a while until I come up with something better/ go overseas/ get better resources. *sighs* I love my jewelry. 

My class went well today I think. It was fun, we all had to make proper sentences from notes and then make posters using the sentences. My instructions weren't clear :( and I spent 10 mins micro explaining to each person they are changing the answers (they interviewed their partners about their lives) into sentences and they got so confused :( but they loved the lesson I reckon xD 

I was so knackered after the teaching + my own classes (where I'm the student) that I fell asleep for a few hours when I got home. I went to a party and met lots of people that I've known before. Like, had a good conversation with a guy I remember from primary school :O we were in the same class when we were 10 and we talked about our teacher (he was amazing!). But yeh, it's nice. I'm not really into hanging out for too long. I like talking to people, but I like being in my room too and having my computer etc. 

     I don't like my love life atm but have I ever? haha. I feel lonely a lot but it's my own fault for staying with him and I know I'll be worse single and that when I'm single, it's going to take years to find someone. I wish he'd go to the lantern festival with me and go to a party with me (but he never will), it's not like I stay there long. Haven't heard from him all day, which is kind of good. It's just that feeling that things could be a lot better. The guy I talked to who went to primary school actually knew my ex. He told a story and it sounds like him haha. The relationship I'm in atm makes me miss my ex a lot. I know it's terrible to blog about, but I think I've told hwsnbnitb so many times how things could be better and that I'm not feeling like we'll last (heck, even broke up with him properly 5 times). I'll see how things go when I go overseas. I don't really see us working at all long distance, but for now I'm going with the flow. No point trying to fight the tides.  

Being vain xD

My friend taught me how she did her makeup and I experimented. I love it! Much better than the way I usually do it! Yaaaaaayyyy!!!

Then I had a shower :P .. my hair barely ever goes curly/wavy so I took a photo lol.

>.> yeh… still haven’t started on my example poster for class tomorrow, but I don’t think it’ll be hard to do. I have to watch Vampire Diaries first! Looks like it’s going to be a late one :P

I spent my day visiting Yuki xD missed her. I came in the door to see her and she ran to me and we snuggled for an hour. It was so adorable, at some point she was cuddling my arm xD and then we played outside and we climbed trees and she climbed onto the garage so I couldn’t follow. I went back inside after a while and she came back, walked around (I took photos) then came back to rest on my arms. As much as I wanted to take a nap with her on the couch, I had to eventually leave to go shopping :(

Me and HWSNBNOTB watched Sucker Punch and ate lindt chocolate last night. It was really nice, and I ended up quite liking Sucker Punch. God Emily Browning is hot!!! >_<” She’s always been beautiful (I remember her even from Ghost Ship!). And yeh, I can’t keep up with HWSNBNOTB. He really doesn’t let me break up with him. I give up on trying and I give up on trying to break up. It was nice last night though.

Just had tea and I feel so healthy. A couple of nights ago, I threw up twice. But I know it’s my fault: that day I ate a strawberry tart for breakfast, drank a bottle of coke and had 3 slices of pizza and oreo truffles. Yuck! I didn’t get healthy food because I was out all day seeing different people (HWSNBNOTB bought the pizzas). But yeh, after that night, I’ve been buying heaps of vegies. I tried a vegetarian lasagna recipe and it uses low fat cottage cheese and a little bit of Parmesan. The rest I used eggplant, spinach, mushrooms, onions, courgette, capsicum so I feel really healthy (apart from the cheese and pasta bit of the lasagna). I made a big thing of it so it can last a week :D (some in the freezer) and I’m having little slices with salad (I’m boring, don’t have sauce so I have lettuce + avacado + tomato + grated carrot in my salad xD ) Heeee I feel healthy. Gotta get ready for my lesson tomorrow. I hope I’m not as nervous! My room is a mess :( need to tidy it.

Strawberry tarts

These strawberry tarts from Patisserie Yahagi were amazing!! 

The moon was big last night, but my photos aren't as good as Stevo's :<
