The only time I will ever embrace winter is when I'm putting my body on the line for a trip to the snows.
An amazingly talented friend of mine put this vid together starring our posse. Unfortunately, my snowboarding skills are just so so and I believe what ever so so skills I have will be be further out of sorts as my budget priorities this year are for getaways to tropical places, beautiful things for the home and really amazing shoes necessary for my well being hence, this snow bunny is staying home for the winter
I will miss screaming for a medic after a really bad stack, fall and roll and enduring pain-staking aches tailbone to fingertips, noggin to toes. So as I will not be going this year I will have to resort to just watching this video once in a while.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

'Tings day to day Life' Soundtrack
It must be the filipino blood coursing through my veins that pre-disposes me to singing songs in my head all day long, but today a particular song that has been on repeat is Kokomo by the Beach Boys.
This song is the shit. It makes me go into la la land and automatically soothes my tired-ass. I would say that this is defo a reflection of how I'm feeling today. A nice holiday to Kokomo would be really nice.
Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go
Jamaica
off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take ya
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Kokomo
Nervous School Kid
So I recently started an interior design course. Which I just love love love. For the first time ever, studying does not feel like such a chore, or some sort of torture designed to drive me completely mad.
I finished my first subject with flying colours with a perfect grade 100/100 and this for my over-achieving nerdy self sent me giddy with pride! : ) Although I do have to mention that my first subject was 'How to Operate a Personal Computer', so it actually wasn't all too hard even for a techo-challenged person like myself.
In any case, I sent through an assignment today for my Design Principle course by snail mail. I swear as I was sealing the envelope I got all nervous about what marks/feedback I would get. Fingers crossed... I am secret-ing another stellar mark.

Sydney love x
Sydney is seriously one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Whilst I have been living here all my life, I will never tire of pretending to be a tourist and camera-whoring around the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge morning to night.
I could think of no better weekend spent, then to walk around Circular quay, stop off at the Intercontinental for tea and just chill on a gorgeous autumn day with my favourite boy.
We also took a peda-cab around the city for 20 minutes. It was just such a perfect day. aaawwww...

Winter Blues
I am seriously freezing my knockers off and if I had balls I'm pretty sure they too would've frozen off by now.
It's only the 8th day of winter and it pains me to say that there are 84 more days left and its inevitably going to get colder.
Holy-shitface. I've been living in Sydney most my life and I would have thought that I'd be used to the benumbing temperatures of winter by now. I whine about it to the pomos at work and they keep telling me that our winter is summer compared to the UK weather, like that's supposed to make me feel better... I don't care what it's like in our mother-land, I'm in Sydney and I'm fucking freezing.
My cold-threshold is zero. My body is in shock. I find myself wanting to pee every 10 minutes cause I'm so cold. I have to walk around our place in two pairs of trackies, two pairs of socks, a singlet, a longsleeve another longsleeve and a jumper. Layers of warmth, my armour against my enemy- Winter. Also, my boy is always uncannily (if that's a word) hot (maybe he's a werewolf), so I snuggle up to him every second I get. I rub my freezing cold feet on him and if I scratch him by accident- he tells me to get my tree-climber feet away from him. hahaha But this is my favourite way to combat the cold. Unfortunately I can't bring him around with me everywhere I go.
At least the sun has come out to play. Second to the cold, I completely loathe the rain.
Oh woe is me. Winter. Its bullshit.
