what a day!

what i did today:

1. woke up at 1am and couldn't get back to sleep. so i turned on the computer and started watching youtube and found this guy... he is awesome and funny and oh so cuddly looking. i suggest you check him out.

anyway an hour of watching his entries i get a call from my partners mother with the great news that his sister was in labour and that we needed to give them a lift to the hospital. (yeah not so great news). never the less i was excited to go on this little adventure at 2 in the morning, my partner, who was enjoying his slumber thought otherwise.

so we drove her to the hospital, her contractions were close together and you can tell that she was in a lot of pain by the tears that were running down her face and the bending over and the wishing it was over kind of thing... i found it hard to hold back the tears myself at how beautiful the moment was and at the same time was freaking out at the sight of her in so much pain... it is now 5:45pm and still no baby. she is a stubborn little thing and wants to go out face first instead of head first. it's not looking good but the doctors said that it isn't that bad either we just need to wait until she moves into the right position.

2. tried sleeping again when we got home. and i couldn't... so i decided to pick up my sewing machine!!!!! i haven't put together anything yet, i am way too tired but i will keep you posted.

until then xoxox

ps. did i mention that i have a week off work! i am on cloud 9 at the moment.

RIP

never put your sun glasses around your neck.... they fall off and break.

the village markets

what i did today:

1. emma warned me that the village markets were small, but still curiosity got the better of me. so my partner and i drove down to the gold coast to check out the hand full of stalls that were there. they were great stalls that sold beautiful vintage clothes and shoes, but sadly money is an issue this month with birthdays just around the corner. i did however grab this bow necklace by lovehearts designs. on the plus side, the markets gave me great ideas and i cant wait to finally have my sewing machine off layby so i can get started on all these projects i have been wanting to do.

now, may i say that the gold coast is a strange place. never have i seen so many beautiful, athletic, half naked people in the one area. looking around i saw many smiling faces without a care in the world and to be honest it made me feel a little apprehensive... where were all the jaded people in black? i wondered.

2. after leaving the markets earlier than expected i decided to hit the shops and grabbed a few bargains.

the shorts were bought for a trip to the beach. unfortunately, my friend had a change of heart and we are now meeting on dry land for a coffee instead. kind of disappointed because i was really looking forward to visiting where i grew up. i guess i should forgive her, she is after all very pregnant :P.

3. wore my dotti vest, mens bonds singlet worn as a dress, tiffany necklace, diva rings and esprit bag

until next time xoxox

after all my debts are paid off i will buy the following.... eek!.... i cant wait!

3 weeks... all for nothing.

what i did today:

1. i woke up this morning to a nice surprise… one of my pot plants has grown a beautiful little flower… proof that not everything i touch dies…

2. wore my tempt skirt and shirt from philippines

3. my main aim today was to purchase a bag that i have been saving and lusting over for nearly 3 weeks. it was a black leather bag by ‘david lawrence’ and it was perfect… but offcourse in true ‘e’ style, i was unlucky and was too late; the bag i have been dreaming of was sold out…

so i had to settle for this bag by ‘esprit’. it was $30 cheaper, cute but unlike the bag by david lawrence it wasn’t leather. *sigh* i guess the cows have won this round…

on the plus side it won’t be long until i get to pick up my brown bag from dj’s

4. speaking of lay-bys, it was also time to pick up one of the many that i have around town. now, i don’t know exactly why i decided to buy this top, or what attracted me to it at the time. but i don’t think i like it anymore…. it’s almost too grandmaish…

5. while visiting a music store and looking out for any bargain movies i stumbled upon this shirt that was on sale, $5 bargain! it instantly reminded me of high school. by the way ‘s.h’ you know who you are…. Please give me back my incubus and grinspoon cd’s, i have been away from them for far too long.

till next time xoxox

twilight the movie

what i did today:

1. whined and winged until i was granted my wish… my partner took me to see 'twilight'. after reading the first book and currently enjoying ‘the new moon’, i found the sudden need to see the movie on the big screen instead of waiting for its arrival on dvd. so off to the movies we went, and can i say that i was thoroughly disappointed.
i honestly did not expect it to be as bad as it was, i was thinking more along the lines of buffy the vampire slayer (tv series); romance, action and a little bit of carnage thrown in for good measure.

it was just so bad that my partner and i were laughing throughout the entirety of the move because of its poorly written lines and its horrendous special effects. amongst all that, the cinematography had a lot to be desired. it was inconsistent and at times pointless making the movie overwhelmingly 'b' grade. but the most disappointing thing of all was that i did not fall in love… in most vampire tales you cant help but fall in love with these mysterious creatures, the way they lived, loved and their past. oh, and the acting… don’t even get me started!

i would like to erase the past two hours out of my mind so that it wont taint the rest of my reading experience. further more, i plan to spend the rest of my evening watching ‘interview with the vampire’ followed by ‘queen of the dammed’ to remind myself of what a real vampire movie should be like.
