I would like to congratulate JAMV for putting on a brave front in the face of an "adversary". Although we all know our buttons were pushed, we were trying to be courageous because we were facing a difficult moment in order to supposedly strengthen our relationship. Well, at least I was. I admit it scared the hell out of me (hands up anyone else?) because i didn't want some of the things to change. I feel quite guilty for bringing up the idea of an open forum altogether. I didn't realise you guys would warm up to the idea. I keep thinking "what have I done?"
This is the hardest thing.... but when we finally get through this, I truly believe that we would be ready to face ANY kind of adversary that come our way.
We all tried to see the positive side, and for that I felt proud that I have these kind people as my friends. We make each other's lives, each day, each minute. And for the rest of our lives we will go on knowing that we have friends like these whom we know are the ones who truly knows us deeper than any other could. And then we would smile at the memories and realise that we wouldn't be the way we would be without them. I would say here that i love you guys, you help me find myself....but i am corny. Hands down! Yikes!
the corny one---->jos

I've been sitting here for more than 30 minutes. Ladidadida...don't know what to say.
I'll begin with... Hello everyone!
On Tuesday, 12 hundered hours, we(emelee, jos, rvn & me) >>>ESCAPED<<< to the Regatta Center for solace. About a 10 minute drive...away from uni.
Our adventure began with lunch at Burger King. Mmmm, yum. We talked about everything to everyone. "Wheres ___, I wonder what there doing?" blah blah blah.
Then we set off to the Regatta Center! It was beautiful! Man made beauty, but beautiful nevertheless. Serene skies, water & trees.
We walked and found a comfy place to sit. Jos brought her camera & we took photos. Emelee finished writing in Jos b'day card. A card from me & emelee. Jos b'day was in March so it was long overdue. Our gift was on time. Jos read what we had written out loud. We shared our hopes, our dreams, our future & our concerns...My mind boggles to think how open we all were with each other. The boundaries were blurred... Jos danced, rvn did a flip & a cartwheel, emlee tried her first ever cartwheel & I showed some moves I learned in my taekwondo class. We also sang silly nursery rhymes.
It was now about 5pm, & we sat a watched the sunset...behind the mountains. It was getting very cold, windy & dark. We left at about 6pm because emlee wanted to go.
I drove everyone to MT DRUITT station. I had to get out to open the boot for emelee. Emelee left for her train.
Rvn, jos & I were still talking. It was getting really cold now. So I suggested we sit in the car. We stayed a talked till 8pm. Time was flying... I was worried, that parents would be worried, not to mention Charmed was on tonight, then we seperated ways...I mean I seperated ways, but rvn & jos were still together. (",)

Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, It is not proud, It is not rude, It is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
L o v e N e v e r F a i l s.
- Corinthians 13 : 4 - 8 -
The quote above is the one I always come back to everytime I am in doubt, lost, happy, or grateful. I have it stuck against the wall of my room in front of my desk. No matter what happens, I always try to remember the people around me who has made me who I am today and the events in my life that shaped me and helped me set for the future. If love never ends, then we can only look forward to it, and just to embrace life and everything it has to offer. I decided to blog it up because I think that somebody really needs it. I think. Don't worry too much bella, life has a way of working out for the best. And in the end, it's really all for the best.
The world is your oyster.....oh yeah ummmm....enough cornyness...

1st week of uni & counting.
The first week of uni, I was lost and confused. I felt like the walls surrounding me, were crashing down. Most of my subjects were stuffed! :( I couldn't pick or choose because subjects were full or I just couldn't fit it in my timetable! ARGGH! It was great to see everyone again...except Beenz was missing...we miss you Beanie x o, best of luck with the job hunting. It was such a good feeling to see everyone again. It was as if, we never parted & got back in the swing of things. Vainy documented the week that passed, already. So I'l write about...
My Ski Weekend! I went skiing on the weekend! Woohoo. 3 days & 2 nights. Gave me a chance to clear my head, make crucial life changing decisions & of course have some fun, fun, fun! Left 7:30pm Friday. About a 3 hour drive to Quebeyean where we stayed overnight with my family. The nightsky was beautiful, the stars seemed so much closer. Left at 5am drove to Cooma to have brekkie at Maccas and bought & hired Ski gear, arrrived 7:00am. Off to the snows at 8:00am. It was freezing. So many people too. The places we passed were scenic & beautiful. Long and winding roads. We passed Jindabyne bought film & coke then there was a crossroads between Perisha & Thredbo. We were headed for Perisha Blue. The line of cars just to enter Kosiosko National Park went for miles. We were moving about 1 meter every minute, so slow. Finally entered you could see the peaks of the mountains covered in snow. It was an amazing view. We passed three other Ski resorts, Blue cow, smiggins some other one, we were headed for Perisha. We were finally there just a little pass 9am. Perisha was packed. It was so exciting. Jumped out of the car it was absolutely freezing & put our ski gear on. We just started to ski. My bro Neil was the first to stack it, lol. The snow was so soft, made snowballs, snow fight! We tobogganed and skiied all day. Had ski lessons. The instructors are really cute. Really good looking... so he had my attention the whole time. :)
In the car park I couldn't help but notice the Channel V Bus was there. This huge brand new luxury double decker. It was amazing. There was a stage and a satellite dish van thingy. It was broadcasting live to Foxtel (Channel V) & New Zealand so Bog you might see me on TV! Because @ 4pm there was a live concert by TAXI RIDE & Motor Race! Two Australian bands. I couldn't believe it, got to ski & mosh in the one day! We had pizza from a local place. My parents wanted to go to a resturant but we were all just too exhausted to have a sit down dinner. Then we stayed at another hotel and slept. Got up at 6am to go to Thredbo. Thredbo drive was longer & scarey because of the gail force winds. You could literally feel the car being pushed from side to side. Thredbo was a smaller resort. It was nice, actually warm that day too. Channel V bus was at thredbo this time. We had to leave before the concert rocked. On the way home we stopped at the Worlds Biggest Merino. Slept most of the way to sunny Sydney. Skiing is exhilrating & adrenilain pumping esp if you've lost control. If you guys ever go to the snowy mountains make sure your tuned into snow FM 97.7. So much better than any Sydney radio station, music rocked & you get all the snow updates! We should all go next year. Take a tour bus package. Or maybe rvns bus. hehehe

hey all!!!
first week of uni gone already. it was great seeing everyone!!! i definetely missed everyone and hanging out all day with friends. im gonna miss seeing you guys when we graduate. i must admit uni is fun - the hanging out part! and this time beenz isnt here. but sumrah is back.
i want to post something long coz i havent written here for ages so i decided to log what we did in our first week from what i can remember...
monday: viv, jos and me after enrolling ate lunch at cafeteria and cant believe we are back! then worked on our pages/blog. meb invited us to go to parra to see japanese with her and amlee, but was too late.
tuesday: jos and i went to the wrong lecture for the 2nd time ever, suppose to be DSS but was cancelled. meet viv. had lunch and a conversation about getting healthy (let's get physical!). we then meet hosai and mariebel where we all attended info sec lecture. jos, meb, viv and i then went to panda. some of us were kinda stressed though. we saw mebs new wow page where i helped her figure some stuff out.
wednesday: viv didnt turn up, even though she said she will. after our ai class, me and jos talked about past family stories and surfed the web. meb came and we all did a mission/favour for an. we decided to go home early. meb needed to meet harry.
thursday: viv came early and was surprised to see me at the V labs. she fixed her page and showed her really great site... a lot of work there and then i surfed. we came late to the lecture at werrington. jos, meb and amali was already there. the subject was fun but that afternoon we were doubtful. back to kingswood and saw meb's laptop - watched deleted scenes from bring it on. meb then left to have lunch with work friends. amali, jos, viv and me had lunch. viv then left for some class. we then ate this very delicious cake, thanks to jos. roya and hosai came, hosai and i changed some classes. and at the labs we saw sumrah. pregnant as can be! shes back at uni. hanged with roy (comes only on thursday), hos and sum. while jos, viv and amle left to class early to meet meb. talked to sum longer. then roy drove me with her new car to the class. she was talking about lee and his model brother in japan. the class was kinda fun. laughed at the pictures. it seems hard though. outside the class. viv left suddenly, amlee followed her, saw her run. then roya and hosai left. jos, meb and i were gonna teach each other photoshop, but meb needed to pick up her little brother so we just left. everyone was here today except beenz who was here just a few weeks ago and of course azeena.....
friday: no class, day off for me. cleaned the house while my sister was studying at home for hsc trials. i was so tired. meb called to say that i'll just bring my notes on tuesday.
with this blog.....im not a recurring character anymore! yey me! im a regular.....getting 6 figures i hope....this season!
