Pet Peeves

Ok, so I need to get it off my chest. Ever since I started living in Sydney I have become a bitter, complaining, nagging, whinging, negative person. I have yelled at kids in the movies, covered my nose in disgust as people smoke near me, and then complain loudly on the phone whenever someone is walking on the wrong side of the footpath! Is it just me, or is this city living up to the name the 'Big Smoke'?

So as I mentioned earlier, I yelled at a few kids in the movies. Normally I wouldn't mind, however it was a scary movie and they were imaturelly giggling. Also I had paid $18.50 for the ticket, not to mention $15 for popcorn and a coke, then to top it all off I sat on a wet seat! Ah, I'm not normally so snappy, but suddenly I just snapped!

As for the smoking, don't get me started... I mean aren't there suppose to be anti-smoking laws for certain areas... like.. ah, don't know.... the beach for starters and parks... oh, and bus stops, and where people are eating. I purposely run past people smoking covering my mouth just so I don't have to breath in that horrible tar. I don't need to be a smoker just because you like it! Can't you do it somewhere else, like far away from normal people. Preferably not where there are children, people enjoying the fresh air, people eating, people exercising or where there are people at all. I mean don't get me wrong, I realize that smokers also think smoking is bad and that it is a hard habit to kick, but think about this... if you quit today you will be saving the environment, your health and not to mention you will be saving yourself listening to people like me nagging you to stop. So there you go, stop smoking!

As for the footpath scenario... well, its kinda like driving a car, you stick to one side, drive in the slow lane if you are a learner, indicate and look before turning. If only it were this simple walking on a footpath. I mean please walk to the left hand side, if your slow please do not take up the entire footpath as people may want to get past, and if you feel like turning, please check if there isn't someone in your way! Is that too hard to ask?

Well, thats about all from me today. I'm not normally one to vent, but this really took the cake, I mean the whole cake!

Peace & Love xx

Fashion Passion

I made a pack with a friend that we would not spend ANY money on material possessions, namely on clothes for 1 whole month. This was very hard considering that we both work at a clothing store on the weekends.

Well, today is officially 1 month from the day, and let me tell you it was hard. I ended up sweating if anyone mentioned a new purchase around me. I couldn't believe that I would have been like that! Can you think of a more materialistic, selfish act? I mean I should be sweating up a storm when someone mentions the suffering in Africa, or the killing of innocent animals in Canada.

I wouldn't recommend that you do this, especially if you shop as a way to relieve stress. Trust me, you will end up spending more then you save once the drought is over.

So, I now have a plan of attack for when Saturday comes. First, I will ruffle through my wardrobe throwing away any unwanted items (possibly giving them to a charity or my sisters), I will then have a list of items I need/ want. I have searched the stores I want to visit online, so that I will have some sort of budget formed. Bardot, Sportsgirl, Forever New, Myer, DJs, GP.... the list goes on. Then I will get up early enough on Saturday to hit the shops running!

Now let me tell you, this is very out of my character. Out of my friends and family I am the one saving (don't know what for...) however if I can save a dollar, I will. However, the saying goes 'you want something when its gone' (or something like that). And boy oh boy do I want it. haha.

Don't worry I will be back to normal after this weekend.

Love xx

Lost Generation

I thought I would like to share this wonderful video I came across.

Lost Generation.

The video was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old. The contest was titled "u @ 50".

This video won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause.

So simple and yet so brilliant.

Have a great day!! Xx
