Let it grow...

Finding it incredibly hard to concentrate @ work, so I figure I'll blog for a bit - maybe it'll clear out the cob webs...


Relationships are very scary things, and there are so many schools of thought, so many opinions about how to do it right, what's considered wrong, what's not ideal... along with capital punishment, this seems to be the one topic where everyone will have an opinion about.

I'd have to admit, that I'm one of those people that have a tendancy to think I know what's right, but when I stop and think about it now, I wish I didn't think like that...

Maybe it's just my social sphere where this happens, but with so much public scrutiny and analysis, it has to be miraculous that any relationship can emerge natural, healthy and unscathed...

Not that relationships don't need a push or a prod from a helping hand every now and again, but it seems to me that sometimes the best thing to do would be to just step back, and let it grow...


Note: This post is by no means implying anything about anyone else, moreso it's just reflections of my own attitude towards other relationships.

bleh... still not there yet... but on a BRIGHTER note...

I've got my girl back! She's so fine... I could stare @ her all day... what a bod... who am I talking about? Well either comment could apply to either girl in my life, but it's my Aprilia (bike) that's back :D

I'm back to the every-trip-anywhere-is-a-physical-ordeal, unable-to-carry-any-luggage-whatsoever life, and you know what... I love it :P

where's nate though? he hasn't blogged for ages?

I'm still trudging through the remaining hurdles that are there for me, still finishing off tardy uni work, Agilent-work and extra-curricular work - hopefully, given another two weeks, I'll be FREE and appropriately unstressed to once again fully enjoy the open air... but yah, "hopefully" is the best I can do at the moment :P

What HAS cleared up somewhat for me though, is my immediate future - I've been given notice that I've been accepted into the Urban Seed program for next year, and I'm completely psyched (read: scared).

It's a big relief to me though, to know that my immediate future is sorta panning out, and that I'm actually really ticking off my life goals... own a bike, check, commit life to a year of torture and suffering (or social work, some might say), check...

till my next post, y'all take care - hopefully it won't be too long between :)

For those with hair...

... we're planning to experiment with bleach - no, not the anime series, but with the hair-colour altering mixture of chemical :D

Slated for this Sat (26/11) @ about 7pm @ Leanne's (1108 Stud Rd, Rowville) - comment on this post to voice your ideas on this one people...

Ok, ok, so I HAVEN'T blogged for awhile...

... so SUE me :P

Life has been unbelievably busy for me lately, and still remains so. Not really due to overwhelming social commitments unfortunately, but more so because of work, work, work...

And I'm not complaining, I really am quite blessed to have so much (to be in a uni course, to have a two income generating avenues) work, it just doesn't leave me much time to blog, that's all :)

Hopefully it'll be mostly done by the end of the month, so fingers crossed.

Happy Birthday, 'lil bro

21st birthday wishes for this day, to my friend, Eugene Ong

And on the w/end natey?

What a HUGE w/end...

This one was all booked out before we even got there :p

In brief...

Sat went to DFO with Ami, came out with a much more practical backpack for carting things around on the bike, then got lost, then found Ange's house (in Keysborough!!) for her 21st - her speeches were really funny, Ange, was a great party, thanks for the invite.

After Ange's I got to catch up with Jack, Aidz Wong and Phil Wong for a bit, as they wanted to gawk and me new gurl (still yet to be named), and then off to coc deb's for HER 23rd bday!! And that was mega fun too... the highlights? The girl wrestling! So hot! :D Ange, Adder's and Juls have never looked so hot :P Highlight #2: Ange hit on Mikey! :D deb, we didn't quite make it to the beach, but was great fun nonetheless :) We WILL make to the beach one day!

Sunday, got to sleep in a TINY bit... raced down to Life Expedition (ACCF) to hand in my shoebox present for a child that would go without, and then back to the 'burbs to wish YP a happy bday too :) Hung out @ Elton's for a bit, back to church for muso practice.

Joyous's last worship for awhile, and I had a blast... I managed (I think) to do ok with the harmonies, and it felt pretty great.

After which was the final bday for the w/end - Mel's! Thankfully it was @ her place, which is 2mins away from church. Another great party, closing the w/end in fried-food style...

natey's got a new girl

I think one post is all I can go for before saying... I got a bike!!

And not just ANY one at that... I got an AWESOME one... one that puts even my 'ol wrexy to shame.

I'd been setting my sights on a decent Japanese bike, having thought that anything else would be far out of my price range until this beauty popped up on my radar...

... and it's still stupies me somewhat, that I actually own her?! It literally feels like having a ferrari in my garage.


Question: What should natey name his bike... and for those unfamiliar with the naming process, bikes, like cars & boats, are named after girls!!

Almost there :P

It's been a long time since I've last blogged, and I'm getting oh so close to that other side :P

Whilst tiring, it's been a great journey, sorting out life issues and working towards my aspirations and goals.

Hmm... that sentence was rather vague...

Translation: Am getting to tick off all the things I need to work out :)

* Sell car, check.
* Buy bike, check.
* Follow-up Urban Seed
- (interview this coming Tues - omg, that's tomorrow?!), check.

Once all my uni work is submitted for this year, and I know if I've been accepted or not into Urban Seed, then I'll feel more like I can say, I'm on the other side :P

So yeah... almost there :D

am I on the otherside...

... well, no not quite. But with a bit more sleep, since last post, I think I'm a little closer!!

Was a huge weekend, filled with bits of my favourite things - good friends, new friends, old friends and throw in a little bit of a special friend, and it was a pretty packed one :)

But before I go on, Happy Birthday (yesterday) Ange!! And congratulations to deb on her baptism!!

Found that I won't be finishing work as early as I thought, and have a few things on for the next couple of days that are pretty significant to me - might be letting my blue baby go very soon, have a business meeting (remind me to dress up! otherwise I'm going to look awful stupid...) tomorrow, and Saturday is going to be pretty huge with birthday celebration galore, not to mention another one on Sunday...

*phew*... I better make sure I've slept all I need to this week then...

what a month :S

was going to go through the whole subtext of what had gone on these last couple of weeks, but just thinking about it has me a little giddy...

Somehow (still not quite on the other side (do you ever really get there?!)), I seem to have (so far) ended up fairly right side up...

A lot I could go into detail about, but for now, will just point skyward and give some credit to where it's always due... thanks Big Guy, for being a good One :)

Time to hop back onto the rollercoaster ride and see where it all ends up.
