A breakdown of whats been happening..

I haven't blogged anything about my life for sometime. Reason being: I am very busy now days with work and trying to get myself back in my gym routine. I have been homesick (for my friends and family in NZ) therefore spending well trying to spend less time online which causes me to browse through there page. I left my digital camera at my cousin's so all the exciting things I have done within the last month or so have no pictures to back them up with :( So I've decided to give you a brief run down on what's been happening in my life since we last spoke.


  • I celebrated a birthday :) I have been living for 23 years now. On my birthday we went shopping. My gorgeous boyfriend brought me a kobo eReader one of the coolest presents ever. I just need to learn how to work the thing =/.
  • I also celebrated a anniversary :) 6 years me and my boyfriend have been together. We enjoy a cute little lunch at a Sushi restaurant and went shopping for gifts for each other. Unfortunately we didn't get anything. There was nothing I wanted and my boyfriend wasn't fussed either. The money we had left over is now history.
  • I joined up to Jetts Gym. I'm so relieved to be back in action. Have had a bumpy few weeks so far over indulging in the food at work so I'm definitely focused now. I have a personal trainer who I see once a week and a gym programe to follow when I ain't training with her. This summer, I shall look good in a summer dress and bikini lol.
  • I'm job hunting again. I love my currant job BUT I'm always wanting more and something better and I don't feel like Hungry Jacks gives me that so I'm looking for something that would give me more in return and that I will thrive in.
  • I love tax back in Australia :).
  • I have done a tone of online shopping. More to come from Dotti and Asos
  • I am getting a new phone. Haven't decided out of the HTC One X or iPhone 4s? Hmmm.
  • I should have a new laptop next week. Yaaaay.
  • BILLS. BILLS. BILLS. should be paid off. Soon after that I will be able to pay for my flights to perth and spend some quality time with my bestfriend.
  • I am on the last chapter of my book The Power by Rhonda Bryne.
  • We are FINALLY saving to get into our own house.
Finally getting into a good place with Australia. Still homesick but working hard so I can go home for a holiday. Can't wait to get my camera back lol. MISS IT!

You know what? It's going to be ok.

As I mentioned in my last blog post my partner was applying for another job in logistics as a store hand. Well, this afternoon he got the call saying his safety questionnaire didn't meet the job requirements. I could tell he was a little down, he put everything into applying for this job. He told me an hour after he got the call the reason  he wanted the job so bad was to get us into the next step together financially. I was a little disappointed as well for the exact same reason. Then I said to him "It's not all bad babe. Look at it this way, you have your license now you could pretty much apply for any warehousing/forkhoist job. One bad day doesn't mean your gonna have a bad life". He replied with "what would I do without you".

We are in a good place where we can pay our bills, board, petrol, lunches each day and all these other little things on the side AND have that little bit extra to play with. We may not have what we did back in New Zealand BUT we will get all that and more. Why? Because I know the strength of me and my partner. We've always worked to get what we wanted. We will work even harder to get even greater things.

In saying all of this, he has been offered another opportunity through his friend for a warehousing job. We will see where this takes him and I will update on this progress. For now though, each day I'm going to love more, live more and laugh more. GOODNIGHT ^_^

Cool, calm and collective.

I decided to change the layout and colour's of my blog. It kinder goes with my mood lately. Cool, calm and collective. It's alot more organized as well and not so all over the place. 

I can't believe it's May already. Five months into the year, seven more to go. Thing's are now working out for us. I started working in April working 20 hours a week. Work is easy and my pay rate is good. I started work in April and is happy to say I like my job. The people there are very nice and there are a few New Zealanders there as well. Even though I'm still after a full time job it's nice waking up to something everyday. I feel a little more secure within myself and want to work, Work, WORK my butt off to get to where I need to be over here. I've said once I get a job I'm gonna begin studies. Ideally I want some kind of office job in a busy environment so my studies will be based around that industry. That's always what I've version myself doing over here in Australia and I'm pretty determined to get there plus build a foundation up for me and ray which means house, cars, savings and careers. And of course have a little bit of fun along the way. 

My partner's application for his new job is moving forward, I think it was the medical test that was holding things up but he's finally had it and done his survey which was a bunch of random questions. Next is his interveiw. I trust he will do well. He had to do a fork-hoist license for this job and had to wait for it to be delivered before he could move forward with the process because they had to have it in sight. When it finally came, things started moving. He's pretty lucky to have had his position held for him. They could have easily said "first in first served". Both me and my partner have nothing but positive thoughts and when he get's this job it would put us in a perfect position to move out of beachmere. 

May is gonna be about planning, achieving and doing more of what I love. Girly dates, more family time with my other family in Brisbane, learning, reading, fitness/exercise/weight-loss goals, less facebook MORE WORK!
