cowabunga!

went to Torquay today!
after hearing james's stories of falling off the board and being tumbled by the waves during breakfast yesterday, well surfing sounds terribly scary to someone who can't swim to save her life.
no surfing for me
to make things worse, i remember watching shark week on discovery channel (was it discovery?) and how they can tear you limb by limb, ughh (ok i might be stretching the envelope a bit)

but i did give it go eventually. (knowing my five foot eight self could probably tip toe my way through the shallow parts of the shore)
anyways, it was embarrassing! but totally wicked dude! :D

the guys went surfing while hannah and i chilled on the beach

today was totally rad!
and the best thing is, we have some pretty gnarly sun burns and tan lines to keep for weeks! far out dude! (haha ok ok enough with the surfing slangs)

nuisance in china town

had dinner at shanghai dumpling, the place where jocelyn tried to teach me the proper way to use chopsticks.

hey guys! a very clichéd "g'day mate" all the way from down under. that's right i'm in Australia! Melbourne to be exact =] for a whole month!

so far i've played with live abalones before eating them, watch oodles and oodles of tv shows (Glee! jill they play songs from glee in malls =]), composed a whole blog post in the shower only to forget it once i stepped out (i blame the weather, it's summer! it shouldn't be this cold), reorganized my sisters closet (those that are ugly and those i want to wear), bought two albums from the Raconteurs, they're called Saboteurs here though (so it's special Ooo)

well i've not done much touristy stuff yet, but i'll be going to sydney tomorrow =]

till then love

to hosanna!

you should read this only when you get my letter

junk-september-2009

i tried really hard to get you an extra copy, but they weren't selling them anyone (ok maybe it took me a while, give or take a few weeks =p, before i actually attempt to rummage through piles and piles of magazines to get one. but it was hard work none the less)
do you know they send unsold magazines back to the publisher?
what do they do with all that magazines, make paper mache?

anyhoos here it is as promised =]
look, i'm on glossy paper and i smell like magazines! yum :)
