Day 21 – Blog about your nickname

ARGH!!! Which one? 

The one I grew up with was hideous and I can thank My lil brother for it lol when he just learned to talk...
I got stuck with Wee Wee for years *cringes* In fact he still to this day calls me that!! GRRRRR!!!!

Then  about 6 years ago a guy I was kinda dating decided I was rather cheeky like a Pixie and I got stuck with that  as even my family agreed! so have had that ever since although according to family and friends its me to a tea..... and has been since the day I was born....

Day 20 – Your favorite quote

Gahhhh!! I cant just pick one to be honest....  I have several favourite quotes especially of late so I shall put a few up to save having to make a decision...

  • Nella vita chi non risica-non rosica = In life: Nothing ventured–Nothing gained

    • Shoot for the stars, at least if you don't reach them, you can land in the heavens....

      • Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today. ~James Dean

        • When you stop fighting, you stop living. so.. find your fight, then fight like hell 'till your battle has won....

          • Dum spiro, spero = While I breath, I hope

Day 19 – Original Photo of the city you live in

Ok so I still officially live in Lower Hutt so I guess I shall have to have a Hutt Valley one.... 



Day 18 – A photo that makes you sad

 Hrmm This is a bit of a tough one....  so I have Two, sadly they are the furbabies two which have passed away and one that I wont see again due to family stuff :( 



Bazil Faulty! (I blame my mother for his name) one very awesome cat though whom I miss dearly but due to family stuff I wont get back again :/



Rove & Rocky. Rove was my cat whom sounded like Gary the snail from spongebob lol! he was so affectionate sadly he disappeared & we presume passed away after the dec 23rd quake 2011 and Rocky was the family dog for 15yrs and past away of cancer in 2010... He was a pain in the ass but still cool! lol



Day 17 – A photo that makes you happy

Hrmm there's one that sits on my desk generally and has since I was 16. Its one of my favourite Photos of my amazing friend K, who was taken from us far too soon on New Years when I was 16.  Her smile reminds me that I have been through a lot and still keep going and even though she's no longer around and we will probably never get answers to why she was murdered that I can tackle anything.... She is my inspiration ☺♥





Day 16 – A photo of you taken recently

Gahhh!!! Yet again Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Ok so we shall go with one taken last month on my born day since I at least look ok hahaha





Day 15 - A photo of you taken over ten years ago

OMG now we get to the posts I don't want to do lol! I hate photos and have for quite some time! Probably because I like to be behind the camera and not in front of it lol.... To me it shows my flaws far too much! lol....

But hrmmm lets see if i can dig up a photo on my laptop from 10yrs ago... I'm sure I have one or two maybe from when I first went to Uni in Hamilton.


Okies so this was taken my second year at Waikato so had to be 2002/2003 from memory while Jenna and I made a road trip to Auckland for a the weekend and I ended up snapping tendons in my foot about an hour after the photo was taken lol... (always accident prone!)

Day 14 - A Photo I took

Ok so this is always an easy one  being the amazing artist and photographer that I am from all my years experience....

So here's one from the Wedding I had the pleasure to shoot in February and one taken on my mobile of one of my Fav lil gals☺

Wedding shot taken in February 2012...





Miss A at High Tea for my birthday July 2012







Day 13 – A non-fiction book

A Non-fiction Book...

Ok so there's one non-fiction book I have been slowly plodding my way through when I need a break from the sci-fi, fantasy or paranormal romance books I enjoy...

Its actually a Biography by one of my all time favourite actors and to be honest I'm not sure why he is one of my fav's.... Anyways I have slowly been making way through Rupert Everett's book - Red Carpets and other Banana Skins. He has this great ability no matter what hes actually talking about to make you get the giggles!

Adventurous August Already!!!

What the hell? How the heck did it become August let alone the middle of August?

I am the most lousy person for updating this crap when life gets busy, yet I made a promise I would try so lets hope the second half of the year I can actually keep my promise to Christin!  Considering I haven't touched this since march.....

So freaking much has happened since then.... some of it good, some of it not so much.... On the upside, I haven't been as sick as I was two years ago... (Big achievement there!) Probably due to the fact I know pretty much what I can & cant eat now and have been pushing even when not feeling the best to at least go for a walk or run if I don't have the energy for the gym..... Plus the fact I know to not put myself in situations I cant handle (well 99% of the time anyways).

Ahhh the Gym the place I love to hate! hahaha I did learn how Uncoordinated  I am since giving up Marching 2.5years ago. Me and Zumba at the gym equals free entertainment for all that attend! How I got so uncoordinated in two years I have no idea! Yet put the Kiwi's display music on and I can still do it! hahaha!

Its taken me the past 4months to get back into running properly after the fact it just wasn't safe to do so in Christchurch in the area mum lived in due to the quake damage... and due to work killing my soul and spirit by the time I moved out of hers again I didn't particularly have the passion to do so again.... It wasn't till I was rather pissed off at a flatmate in Wellington after I got back from a trip that I started putting my pissed off moods into something a lil more constructive again! Albeit I still dislike running but with music and the fact I know I should and was getting freaking great at  it before I went to Christchurch I have the determination to keep going.... One thing I learned from the issues of the past, my fight or flight reflexes are good, and Ive learned more to fight then to not now.... whether its a good thing or not is yet to be proven.... but at least I am not wasting my energy being angry at something.... There just isn't any point in being angry its just a waste of energy....


July ended up being a pretty good month, apart from the approach of the Birthday I didn't want to come, due to the fact I have yet to achieve the goals I had set that I wanted achieved by that day. Probably why I am still so annoyed at myself... The only good thing about it is thanks to Mother making her decision not to have anything to do with me i no longer have to deal with her reminding me what she had done by this time in her life (yes including the fact she wants grandkids! yep not happening this side of the next five years either! if at all) :P I have far too much I want to achieve first, and considering I have been on my own for so long, apart from the repeat mistake I made last year (although I was pretty much still alone then).... I don't think its going to ever happen... Too stubborn & independent for my own good as i am so often reminded...

Anyways, I hit the dreaded day and even though I didn't particularly want it to.. So have just reassessed my plans and now refocusing on achieving them! I refuse to not achieve them because I know damn well I can!  I am not my mother and I am not one to give up fighting for what I want.... albeit the past year I have a few times because I didn't see the point in wasting energy.... So now its onwards and upwards....

My gorgeous Nephew Corbin was born a few days after my birthday and I have to say even though I haven't actually met him or had cuddles yet he is the most precious lil fella ever!  The past month when Ive had a bad day the photos K has sent me have brightened my day! I cant wait to head south and have cuddles and snuggles! He is precious for so many reasons and I am so glad K has him! :D


 so I guess thats about all I have to update at the moment but at least I can say so far you have two blog posts to read now Christin :D













Day 12: A song that makes you cry

A song that makes you cry

Ok so I apologise firstly to Christin for so being behind in all this its taken me 7months and im still not finished it... then again my headspace for writing hasn't always been there so I shall try catch this up as quickly as possible over the next month..... 

So a A song that makes me cry.... I have Two of these. One relates to my friend who past away when we were 16 that we will never probably get answers for.... The other is one is one that for some reason I fell in love with but at certain times can make me cry depending on my mood....
