Another birthday

I love celebrating birthdays. There's just something joyous about birthdays that I love. Even if it isn't mine, I'm the type of person who loves to give. Then again I don't know how to save my money =P. But, I love giving presents to someone on their special day.

Yesterday, well technically today was my managers birthday. Now I know what your thinking, why would I go out to dinner with my manager to celebrate her birthday? Doesn't she have family or something to celebrate it with? Well, we are family in a way. Yes, it's corny but most of us (Red Rooster employees) realised last night, that we are WAY too close to one another. Someone pointed out it was creepy, but I think it's cute. I'm only really close to a couple of people at work, but stil, I count them as family. And my manager is like the mummy. It's kinda funny.

Anyway, we ended up eating at the workers club (yeah I know right) and heading off to playtime. Highlight of my night, gift opening ;). My other manager, as a joke, gave my manager a vibrator. Yellow to be exact ;). We may be the closest Red Rooster, but I think we're also the dirtiest Red Rooster =P. People talking about how long things are, people constantly moaning, several sexual references every hour, it's disgusting! But either way, it's funny =).

Anyway....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCELLE =D

Nine - Be Italiano

Today I went to watch Nine with my dearest friend and other half Cesar. We've literally been waiting so long for this movie to come out, and what better day to watch it than on "Cheap Ass Tuesday".

In short, Nine is a musical centered around a director and his struggle to make a movie and the weird relationships he has with several women in his life.

Alright, I've been told that Rotten Tomatoes is a reliable source of information when searching for movie reviews. And majority of the ratings and reviews given for Nine have been so-so or not worth watching. In my opinion, if you like musicals this movie is worth watching. A friend of mine says Nine is just a pathetic attempt to recreate Chicago, FAIL indeed.

The highlights of the movie, Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard. FUCK ME DEAD! Cesar and Ii both agree, that we were waiting desperately for a bitch fight between the directors mistress and wife. Penelope's solo, OH MY FREAKING GOSH! Everyone in the cinema did not take their eyes off the screen. I was getting goosebumps, I would have gone lesbian for her at that moment. And Marion's routine in the little sparkley outfit, HOT-NESS!

My favourite routine however was definitely Fergie's "Be Italiano". Nicole Kidman was in my opinion, forgetable. Kate Hudson can surprisingly sing, not that good, but good enough to be in a musical and not be ridiculed. Daniel Day Lewis has this smuck sort of funky vibe going on. The type of person that says I don't care, I'll do whatever I want whenever I want. Kinda turned me on ;)

Overall, I quiet enjoyed Nine. "Be Italiano"

memory lane

About this time last year, I got my uni offers from UAC. It's been a whole year since I had my shot at getting into uni, and now those who didn't get that shot last year and those who worked their butts off in year 12 finally got their chance at getting that one step closer to their dreams.

I can recall everything that happened the night I got my offer. I wasn't happy, thats what I remember. I did get an offer, but after realising what an idiot I was for applying for the WRONG course, really pissed me off. I spent all night crying, I cried on the phone to a friend and pretty much locked myself in my room till midnight when everyone else was asleep. It was such a horrid experience. Never really cried like that before, from what I can remember. The wait, OH EMM GEE, the freaking wait for second round offers was CRAZZZZY!!! While everyone else was enrolling into uni and getting their ID cards, I had to sit back and wait for my offer to come in. The anxiety and the fear in my heart was so much. I knew there weren't many spots left, that didnt exactly help things. But when the day came, Febuary 2 to be exact and to see that offer highlighted on the screen, massive sigh of relief =D.

So this post goes to all those who got their offers and those who work hard to get what they want. Congrats peeps =)

"sweeten thy soul'

let's hear it for new york... someone wanna take me here?

sick and tired of them...

Everyone knows of Spiedi, the stupid and pathetic union of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. Throughout 2009 they've had many attempts at their fifteen minutes of fame and have ultimately failed. If it was, posing for Playboy, failing at their attempt to be the white Beyonce and Jay-Z, singing horribly at Miss Universe, pronoucing himself as King Pratt, trying to non-chalantly NOT be caught my paparazzi, drawing too much attention to themselves, joining stupid game shows, and heaps, heaps, heaps, HEAPS more fake, ridiculous stunts to be famous. But this time I seriously believe the price of fame and celebrity and wanting to make a name for themselves has gone WAY too far.




What kind of foul, insecure, RETARD, would undergo so much plastic surgery just to look pretty?! I thought she was insane in the first place getting a boob job and a nose reconstruction, but ten different surgeries to "look" pretty is WAYYY to much. Despite my hatred for her and her "husband" I can admit she was good-looking before it all happened. Now she just looks like a drugged Hilton sister who was run over continuously by a cityrail train.


I know this sounds really cruel, but enough is enough! 2009 was their year, but now its over. No one gives two shits what she and her signficant other do anymore. I don't care if they buy a country and name is "Speidi-land" or adopt kids from China, Malowi, or Tanzania. Whatever they do, its out of pure greed and that should not be rewarded at all. So 2010, I decree the end of Speidi, R.I.P. Do whatever you want with your lives, leave the rest if the human race alone to live in freaking harmony! LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE YOUR FREAKING SPOT, I DON'T CARE!!! YOU HAD YOUR RUN!!!

Waiting....

2010 = new friends, new experiences, new turmoils, new trials, new triumphs, new music and new MOVIES!!! If there is one thing I look forward to in a new year is the anticipation of new movies and to watch the creative minds of talented directors all over the world.

If anyone realised last year, the entertainment world was filled with the vampire-craze. Whether it was the Twilight franchise, brain-washing young girls all over the world, or the mini-series of True Blood and Vampire Diaries. I believe 2010 is the year of the werewolf =). Enough pale skined folk who sparkle in the sunlight and feast on animals to survive, its the time of the werewolf, rampaging the night, howling at the full moon and transforming back into human form with no clothes on. WOO!

I got into watching Avatar: The Last Airbender a couple of years ago when I had to babysit my nephew. He used to always like watching Nickelodeon after school and it was always in this order, 3:00pm - Fairly Odd Parents, 3:30pm - Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, 4:00pm - Avatar 4:30pm - Spongebob Squarepants, 5:00pm - Ben 10. Within those couple of hours I would either attempt homework or watching with my nephew. Avatar isn't such a bad show. The concept of the whole earth vs. fire, water vs. fire, air vs. fire theme was very intriguing. When I heard they were planning to remake the short series into a movie, I didn't know what to believe. How could they recreate Appa? Who was going to pay Aang? Can't wait to see what M. Night Shyamalan can come with.

There's no big particular reason why I want to watch Valentine's Day, I just like the whole "all-star cast" part of it all. I don't understand why a director would choose to make twenty or so "A-lister" celebrites working on the same movie. I think it destroys the true meaning of the movie with all the craze of the celebrites overshadowing the movie itself.

Beauty and the Beast was one of my favourite Disney films (after Little Mermaid and Aladdin). The new remake with Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Anne Hudgen suprised me. I thought, Alex Pettyfer could do it. He has that whole bad boy appeal to him, but at the same time the pretty boy with those golden locks. But when I heard Vanessa Hudgens I thought, oh my, this girl is never going to be able to venture out on her own without the support of Disney or Disney related projects or anything which won't show her true talent (even though I don't really think she has any). Her boyfriend seems to be doing well at it, sort of. But Beastly looks spectacular, Alex Pettyfer looks UGLY and scary.

Nine has been getting some bad ratings recently, so I don't know what to think. But the fact that it's a musical makes me want to watch it. Kate Hudson apparently CAN sing and dance, bit of a shock there to be honest.

Overall, I think this maybe an okay year for movies, not as good as 2008 and 2009, but still up there.

One guilty post

"Guilt is the source of sorrow, "tis the fiend, Th' avenging fiend, that follows us behind, With whips and stings..." -Nicholas Rowe

There are many pains in the world. But most people tend to picture pain as a physical aspect. Yet, psychological pain is the worst feelings that no fourty storey high fall, or gun shot could ever beat. The pain on places upon themselves from any act. Guilt.

I've had this psychological pain within me for my whole life. If it's injuring a child, having them being sent to the hospital and to live on with their scars or from simply breaking something and not having the courage to take responsibility or confess, I've been there many times. It's not the actual incident which sends me into the emotional whirlpool of despair, but the afterevents. Like having to see the scars which the child bears on them bare body, having to look at it everyday and think, I did that, I caused not only this child so much pain and suffering, but also their family too, or having someone of highly authority having to take the responsibility for my actions because, it is their responsibility to unsure I do not do anything wrong. It's those moments where my heart completely stops and the guilt kicks in.

What makes it worse is when someone, an outsider, I guess you could say, decides its their duty to make me feel awful so what I did, to constantly remind me, you did this, be careful, don't touch anything, we don't want a repeat of last time. Each word is literally like several knives continually stabbing my heart. No one understands, I am terribly sorry and I know I'm an awful person for doing it, but there is no need to remind me of my actions. They do not understand that the guilt alone is painful.

The aftermath kind of relieves the stress and guilt off my chest, but there is still that tiny wound in my heart which still carries the burden of that event. Seeing the scars on the child that I injured about three or four years ago breaks my heart. Having to look into the eyes of my superiors and tell them that I am truly sorry and that they do not place the blame on others is painful. Deep down inside, I can still sense the parents of the little child's instincts when they see me. Although it was long ago and it was an accident, I can sense their hesitation and worry for their child. I still do not know what is going to happen with the other situation though. I fear having to go back there and see what the aftermath of my accident is. But I pray, so much that they do not place the blame on others for my stupid accident.

Guilt is something that will always remain with you. No matter what you do, no matter how much you apologize and confess your wrong, it is always there. Either in the eyes of an outsider, the words of the victims or the hole in your heart which gets bigger and bigger with every fault you do in life.

"everyone pretend to be normal"

A couple of weeks ago, Christmas Day to be exact, an awkward conversation was going on in the family car on our ride home from a beautiful Christmas day with family, or the abridged version of our family.

My sister and mum were having an argument. My sister was telling my mum that she doesn't know when to shut her mouth (which is true, to be honest) and my mum was trying to apologize and telling my sister to pretty much, build a bridge and get over it. It had to do with an auntie of mine, who had split from her husband a couple of months ago. It had to do more with the husband and his new girlfriend. And my mum being who she was, even though she was unaware, asked my auntie about it, not knowing how it would upset her deeply. And my sister being confronting and outspoken, told off my mum for having no consideration about others feelings.

The argument continued all the way from Quakers Hill back home. It soon turned very awkward when my sister confronted my mum about traumatizing her as a child. I don't want to go deep into that, but pretty much mother, being who she was, told all our cousins and relatives about my sisters situation. And like I said, it traumatized her. I can remember the words my mum told my sister, "HEH! GET OVER IT MON!"

It was just such an awkward and uncomfortable car ride home. Dad was busy driving and since he is half-deaf probably couldn't hear half the things that were being said, but me with my supersonic hearing, heard everything and just wanted to smack my mum and sister. Deep down inside I was hoping, begging in my seat that my dad would step in and say something! I knew I would be shut down if I said anything.

What's with me and awkward situations? It's been happening a lot lately, like the busride to work, with the foreign ladies screaming at one another, and then the Aboriginal couple on the busride home having a lovers quarrel. My life is just circulated with all these strange but memorable adventures. Maybe it's a sign about how the new year will be for me.

Welcome 2010

HAPPY BELATED NEW YEARS!!! New years was okay for me this year, nothing outrageous or special, just a small family new years, minus my sister. It helped that my mum was able to make it in time for the new years countdown from work. But overall, sharing a bottle of Verdi with my parents, pulling party poppers around the house, setting off sparkles in the front yard and sending hundreds of text messages to all my beloved ones.

I guess what sort of ruined my new years experience this year was the fact that I had to go to work at 11am the next day, boo hoo. But it kind of made me happy in a way, for two reasons...double pay (yes!) and that it was my last shift in the hell-hole I call East Blacktown Red Rooster, and back to Westpoint Red Rooster with the rest of my workmates, whom I have learnt to call friends now. The other day, my boss Tammy fired a couple of people from the Westpoint store. My manager at East Blacktown wouldn't tell me who got fired, but in the back of my head I kept saying, please don't fire my friends. I only have a couple there, but still, you never know. And next thing I know, two of my friends got fired. Boo hoo. One of them, I used to talk a lot too, but was also a very annoying and talkative person. So talkative that I would purposely hide in the freezer just to now hear their voice echoing in the kitchen, but I still called a friend. The other was with me in the kitchen most of the time and although I didn't talk to this person much, we always had a good time out back with the rest of the kitchenhand crew. But I guess it's just business.

So, every year people do this small tradition over the world where they attempt to uphold a promise or goal to themselves to achieve over the year before the next known as a new year's resolution. Some of the resoultions are all the same and cliche, like to lose weight, or to be try a be a better saver or a better lover. I personally couldn't think of a new year's resolution. Most people who make resolutions, just end up breaking it or are unable to keep it up. So I thought, I would keep mine simple and achieveable. To become a nicer person to every person and take more pictures of all life's memories (cliche i know =P).
