gdf13th


Today is Friday the 13th... and its also, Good Deed Friday the 13th!

Hehe... i've renamed today that...because I work with someone here at school, and she's had a rough week, so I went out and bought her some flowers and a little cupcake to let her know that she is appreciated here and we all love her... *awww*

Feeling very giving today... definitely a day for good deeds...

flowery falcon


Ok.. so the story behind the tattoo... I have wanted to get a tattoo for a long time now, and i have not got one because i wanted to get a design that i felt good about, and means something to me... i didn't want to get a tattoo for the sake of getting a tattoo, it should be something meaningful.

Finally, I found it... a falcon, which symbolise a lot of things, wisdom, focus, guardianship, passion and power. And that would be perfect for me... to remind me to be focused, powerful and aspire for the things that i have always wanted to do. And then i had the idea that the falcons wings and tail could turn into flowers, not only to make the tattoo pretty, but just cause that would work... :)

I had been recommended this tattoo artist by the name of Mimsy, who is fantastic by the looks of her work, and also by the fact that she is completely booked out until the end of April! Hmm.. after finally deciding on a tattoo design, i figured i have to get it now.. so i didn't over think it.
So, i got in touch with another reputable tattoo parlour, Westside Tattoo, at West End. That was last Thursday, and they just said to drop in with my design ideas and they would be able to recommend the best artist for the job... who was a fantastic artist by the name of Lily. Now, it turned out that Lily had a big cancellation of a sleeve that she was to do yesterday, from 12 to 6pm... (yikes thats big).. anyway, so i booked her in... and got it done!

Lily was so lovely... really nice, and we did have to redraw the design after i got there, it wasn't quite right.. but the end result is a LOT better than I had imagined...
I love it... hehe... may be a bit of a shock, but trust me, its beautiful. You should see the detail in the design.. (you can actually see the nose holes on the falcon's beak!).. and yeah, its just beautiful.

falcon!

Ok... now.. i have some very exciting news.. first of all... i got that skateboard.. its very very cool.. i tried it out on the weekend, not as hard as i expected, but i'll have to practice practice practice and need to take it to a bigger spot to practice.. but its fun! And i really just love the photo on it... heh.. its gorgeous, and i use it more as art, at least at the moment...



Next... is the bigger, much more exciting news...

now... I think, if you are Mum and Papa reading this, you might want to take a deep breath...

because...

I GOT A TATTOO!!!!!

Ok ok.. i know.. a bit out of the blue, hehe.. but i really have wanted one for ages and ages, and i finally thought of a design that is perfect!!! I just got it today, this afternoon, so its still really fresh.. i'm waiting until i can take off the cover and then take some photos... but if you want to see the current photos.. this is it:




So its a Falcon, that is obviously flying.. and its tips of its wings and tail are turning into these gorgeous little flowers and vines.. i just love it... and its to remind me to stay focused and strong and go for my dreams... :) adorable no??

heheh.. more photos to come on flickr and around when i take the cover off.. thats just a little taste...
love!

the trip

So, the trip was fantastic... Was so good to be able to just cruise around, go whereever with no time limit or plan... just find the good spots!
We were away for about 10 days, went all the way down to Sydney, and back. We had planned to go down around the coast, and come back up through the mountains, but due to mechanical issues and losing two days waiting for the car to get fixed, we decided we'd travel the coast road the whole way round, and take some well needed time out on the beach.
We stayed at the same place we did for New Year, one night, then went down to Coffs Harbour, stayed in a 4 star caravan park there, directly opposite the beach, which was practically empty, complete with pool, games room and more... all for a ridiculously cheap rate of $22 a night! (BARGAIN!) Then travelled down towards Newcastle, ran into car issues, stayed south of Newcastle in this little place called Belmont. Found another 4 star caravan park that was right on the shores of this gorgeous lake... was so good.. another ridiculously cheap place that was amazing... Stayed a couple of nights there... then continued down to Sydney, busted a tyre on the way into Sydney, changed it, then stayed in Bondi at a ridiculously expensive dodgy backpacker... ($70 for a double room that hadn't even been cleaned and was generally pretty standard for backpackers.. ) haha... Then went to get new tyres, got 4 second hand good condition tyres for a really good deal from some tyre guy out in the 'burbs... then travelled back up north, went to a little place called Seal Rocks, which was just beautiful. Completely off the track, hardly anyone there, and these fantastic empty beaches... only thing there was that the water was ICE COLD.. and we couldn't really swim. But we did see a whole pod of dolphins off-shore, which was pretty awesome.
Stayed there for a night, or was it two.. think it was two.. then travelled all the way to Byron Bay, stayed there for a night, and then back to Brisbane.
Was great to have some time out together before Mateus flew back to Brazil, he left on Monday morning. I spoke to him last night, he is doing really well, happy to be back with his family. His sisters wedding is this Saturday, so there is lots of final preparation for that at the moment.
Before we left we asked if we could have a puppy at home.. unfortunately no, which is really disappointing, because we really thought the landlord would say yes. We're really hoping he changes his mind... :) Found this adorable Bull Mastiff x Cattle Dog cross while we were away... and even almost bought him.. hehe.. we joked that if he had said yes, we would go and buy him and drive straight back to Brisbane.. hehe... is a shame... but its alright..
Works good, i'm pushing for a better position here.. more news on that as it comes to hand... maybe a southern acquisition coming into play soon... ;)
I'm focussing on a lot of things to do for me while Mateus is away... going to start running, have been thinking of getting back into that anyway... thinking about buying one of those nike ipod sport packs, that have those cool little sensor things that give you all the details on your runs, how far you've gone etc. etc. And I'm also thinking of buying a longboard, a longboard skateboard that is.. purely because I saw this fantastic one in Bondi that had this really cool picture on the base.. check it out:


Cool huh??
Hehe... i want it only for the picture... :)
And yeah.. some other things I'm concentrating on too... I chose all my uni subjects on Tuesday... for the first term... 4 subjects so far, I hope they aren't too full-on.
Anyway... thats the update from me...I'll let you know how i go with that longboard.. heheh.. :)

proof that i'm spending too much time on the internet

hehehe... Proof that i'm probably spending a little too much time on the internet than actually doing any work:

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=iRmxXp62O8g

Hahaha

I love the IT Crowd too... :D

Anyway, I should be working.. and preparing work for while I'm away on holidays. Yes! I'm taking holidays for 2 and a half weeks.. YAY for me! Next wednesday is my first day on holiday.. and i'm really looking forward to it... We're going somewhere, we don't know where yet.. Going to get everything together and then drive south.. somewhere... heheh.. We have to get the truck fixed first.. well we'd like to.
And yeah.. going away together before Mateus leaves for Brazil for his little holiday over there..
I'm looking forward to holidays.. a lot. I've even decided to go and get a massage.. which is a very indulgent.. heh... Thinking to get one of those hot stone massages... they look good, and stones! How earthy!
Oh.. i really don't want to work today... bleh

doin' fine in 09

Happy New Year and all that! hehe.. Thanks for all the presents and wishes etc too...
We spent the new year down in New South Wales, the Tweed Coast... on the beach, near Coolangatta... We had a great little spot where we could see the Gold Coast, and Coolangatta, which meant we got two sets of fireworks!! YAY! Cause they have daylight savings down there... it was funny, fireworks started going off at 11.00pm, and we thought, hm.. must be pre-midnight fireworks... and only afterwards we realised it was their New Year already.. hehehe...
Anyway, had a great little time down there. We were at Fingal Heads the first night, slept in the car there.. and then we went to another beach which is a bit more secluded and slept on the beach that night.. camped.. complete with beach bonfire... :) And the following night we decided we really needed a proper shower so went to a caravan park down in a place called Wooyung I think. Its really nice down there... i think it is like what the Sunshine Coast used to be before the big developments moved in and it became trendy... heh..
We drove back slowly on Saturday, cause the weather was pretty bad. Just overcast and windy and it had rained pretty hard all night.. which was good anyway, to get back on Saturday and still have a day before starting work again...
Work today, has been a bit chaotic... but at least I have only 3 weeks before holidays again! I'm taking 2 and a half weeks of holidays before Mateus is going back to Brazil for his holiday... so really really looking forward to that.
Oh, and *drumroll* I finished my Certificate IV in TESOL! Hurrah! I finished it on the 31st of December exactly, which was the last day I had to hand everything in.. hehe.. talk about last minute! I haven't heard if I have passed everything yet, but so far so good.. been getting some results back and they have been good. Just glad that I finished it.. FINALLY!
So thats crossed off my list... list is still rather long, but at least thats done... :)
I've got some photos, from the weekend.. have to put them up soon. Still doing a lot of catch up...

news from the swamp

Well, actually, i don't live in a swamp anymore. But i just like that as a title...
The water has gone, no more flooding under the house. Things around our area are still a little stinky, and people are still cleaning up, but the good thing is that it hasn't flooded again and we didn't lose anything.
The water was knee high under our house... we were right on the edge of the flooding, the house next door didn't have any flooding at all. So, we were lucky. The house on the other side of the vacant block of land, had to pump the water out of their backyard and under their house.
Anyway.. its all good at ours again. We were worried about the storm everyone was predicting on Saturday, meant to be another crazy wild thing that was going to tear through again.. but it never happened. It was funny though, on the news that day they had shown people taping their windows and sandbagging, getting ready for the big storm.. and it never came.
But, the creek near us is still incredibly high. It hasn't gone down at all. It used to go up and down with the tides, now its just high. Not only that, but its not moving anymore either... its all full of debri and rubbish, and its not flowing... just stagnating.... hmm.. not good... if we get another downpour, we may be in trouble again...
Will be on weather watch!
In other news, we got the windows on the truck tinted! On Friday last week.. looks really good. Makes a huge difference having the windows darker... looks much cooler.. heheh
And, i have also just sent off my application to Qtac to study a Bachelor of Creative Enterprise next year through CQU! Am going to be a uni student again... I'm enrolling externally, so that i can keep working, and study after work. It could be difficult, but i think it will be really good for me. My second choice is a Bachelor of Business, but I think the Creative Enterprise will be more interesting. :) Am sort of looking forward to it...
Its also just hit me that Christmas is a month away! YIKES! I might try and get some time off work in January, or after Christmas sometime.. maybe a week or two. Have to talk to work here and see when others are going on holiday etc.

Am hoping i can... a holiday would be nice...

farewell

So.. news.. We have sold the van!
:( which is a bit sad.. but its a step forward.
After we came back from Fraser, Mateus and I started thinking, that perhaps the van isn't going to last us forever. And due to it being an import car, if something very bad should happen to her, we would have to let her go... So, we started thinking of getting a new vehicle... We started looking, and found a few ones that we were interested in, other 4 wheel drives, not really trucks, not really utes, not really cars.. heh.. Anyway.. we went and had a look at some on Saturday, and were driving around, and found one that was not on the list of ones to look at, but was very very nice. After taking on a test drive, and then much deliberation and driving around and looking at other cars etc, we thought of trading in the van for it, but got a really really shite price, so we put the van on the market privately. We put it up on Sunday for sale, and have sold it already.. well granted the guy comes to pay Mateus today.

I feel like a bit of a traitor to be leaving the van, but she has a new owner, and Mateus assures me that the new owner will look after her. :)

The new car/truck, i think I will stick to truck, cause it sounds beefier.. haha.. Is a 1995 Ford Raider. Its sort of like a ute, but intstead of having a tray that you can't get to in a normal ute, its got one you can. Imagine a car that has an extended boot but in the shape of a ute.. hahaha.. :) I love my descriptions.
Perhaps photos will be better:





So we're still able to sleep in it, the back seats fold down, and we've got the perfect flat bed there. Has plenty of space in the back too... Is a real 4x4, not that the van wasn't, but this one is a little higher, more practical should we wish to go to Fraser again for example. Mateus picked it up on Wednesday, and its a really nice truck. Very neat inside, really good condition... We'll be driving it around for the first time this weekend.. which will be good.
Our plans are to get a nudge bar for the front, and eventually we would like side steps, we want to tint the windows, really black, like limo tint. Especially the back windows... We will get bigger tyres eventually too, like the ones that were on the van, well they weren't bigger, but they looked cooler. Chunky, due to the writing on the sides of them, so we'll get ones like that too.
So, we'll make it ours... but i will miss the van...

Sneak peek of whats to come... ;)

gilligans isle

heheh.. so we made it, here and back again to Fraser Island. In the van... :) It was a bit of an effort... hehe... Don't think Mateus really expected it to be as 'off road' as it is over there... ;)
I was pretty worried about the van making it over there, handling the roads etc. I remembered it was pretty tracky over there... so wasn't sure about the van handling it. But she did, quite well too... apart from one slight problem, its too low!
This time of the year is pretty bad actually, cause there has been no heavy rain to smooth the roads out, which means that all the roads are really tracklike. Just two rather deep tyre tracks... and that was alright... but it was the middle of the track that was the problem. The sand bank in the middle... Poor Kickin' Super Tripper ended up dragging her underbelly through these sand banks all the way through!
At the start Mateus was pushing the van quite hard, cause he was worried that it wouldn't make it through... and we got to about halfway across the island, just before Lake MacKenzie, before we stopped at a little steep hill down, where we peered down, and thought that if we went down there, we would probably not make it back up. Was so potholed and rough... The van was rather overheated at this stage, so we thought it would be good to just rest before we decided if we should carry on or not. After a while we considered our options, and decided the best thing would be to turn back, we didn't want to have to get stuck there...and then try and get a lift to Lake MacKenzie, camp there for the night and hitch it back on Sunday.. hahaha... but Mateus was worried about the drive back, we had pushed the van hard, and it was rather full of sand that we thought it would be a good idea to have a lifeline there to pull us out. So we called up the tow truck service, and asked him to come and lead us out. We weren't stuck, and we didn't need towing, but it was more of a confidence thing. Having someone there to pull us out if we needed it made it a lot easier for Mateus who was feeling a lot of pressure... But we really shouldn't have worried, the van made it back fine.. and up an even steeper and more potholed road than the one we stopped at! There were a couple of times where we were stunned the van actually made it through there the first time.
Anyway, we made it, back to Kingfisher, parked little van there to rest and recover, and then caught a lift back with the tow truck guy.. we just grabbed the tent and a blanket, our clothes, some food and that was it... so basic camping haha.. now, the way to Lake MacKenzie, was shockingly bad... the road there was so bad at one stage that we wondered if this 4WD would make it through, and then glad we didn't bring the van down there.... heheh
Lake MacKenzie was empty by the time we got there... which was perfect. We set up camp in this hikers camping area they have there, (all fenced off from dingos)... and then went for a swim in the Lake which is just so clear... was gorgeous. (photos will come up on flickr soon).
Was fun camping there.. really minimal, no blankets, no light, not much food.. hehehe.. back to basics! There was another couple that were walking across Fraser that were set up in the camping site, and we borrowed their little gas cooker and made noodles... had biscuits.. hehehe... rations!
The next morning we woke up early, to a rainy day... Went walking along the lake... came back, packed up camp... then we had to decide what to do next. We had our ferry booked for 4pm, and needed to get a lift back to Kingfisher from there... We were contemplating asking the people that were coming to the lake to visit... but I was not looking forward to having to go up and ask people... would have looked so dodgy.
Anyway.. then i had a look at the map i had, and it had some numbers on the back, the tow truck service and lo and behold: Fraser Island has a taxi service! hahaha.. who would think it?! So problem solved... we caught a taxi later that day... went back to the Lake first, the sun came out and we went exploring all the way around the lake, had a bit of rationed food.. and then went back to Kingfisher.
Then we had to worry about the van not starting or having issues with its steering, at one time coming back to Kingfisher, Mateus started feeling something wrong with its steering.. the wheels weren't turning... but she was fine! She's a goer that one... :)
Was definitely an adventurous weekend.. didn't go entirely as planned.. and we ended up spending way more money than we had expected.. tow truck and taxi service etc... plus we think I lost some money over there... a couple of hundred that Mateus had in his wallet was gone... and we believe it fell out of his wallet when i paid the tow truck... :( eep!! So apart from that horrible bit, it was fun. We know now, that we will have to get the van raised if we want to take her back. We will go back if we do.. depends how difficult it will be to raise the van.
You should of seen the amount of sand in the engine.. unbelievable.... and she is rather squeaky now... must get her cleaned up as soon as possible...
So, we will return to Fraser to conquer the wild once more... :)
(The van's tires have Wild Conqureror written on them... hehehe.. and i joked that we would see if she really was a Wild Conqureror on the barge over... hahaha.. not completely defeated, but not entirely conqurered either!)

island time

We're back!
Yah.. back on Sunday, i just haven't written on here yet.. or uploaded any photos. Heh.. so the island was fantastic. Stradbroke Island is so beautiful! Its such a nice place to go for a little holiday... we set up camp on Friday night (which entails parking the van in a suitable spot) and then went off to the festival for a few hours. Was such a great festival too... not super crowded like normal summer music festivals, and everyone was relaxed, there wasn't anyone running around being stupid after drinking way too much. There was only one drink tent, which i think helped ... along with the fact that the majority of people there were hippies! hehe.. dreadlocks and barefeet... kids in tow... was so nice... (although a little intimidating at times too).
But it was just so nice to go to a festival that was relaxed rather than going to a super packed out one where you can't hardly walk and everyone is drunk and acts like complete idiots... heheh... yeah.. i must be getting old...
But they also had the right setup too, the festival started in the afternoon everyday, which was great as well. Meant you could just hang out at the beach in the morning, go for a swim, walk around and then head off to the festival...
We spent the mornings walking around and exploring the beaches, cooling off in the crisp water.. the water was sooo clear... it was beautiful.
And yeah, was just a great weekend for the both of us. Good to get out of the city here, and we've got the perfect van to go away on more weekends. The bed was perfect.. (mateus built the bed for the back of the van, a little wooden frame). And there is heaps of room in the back there... We bought a little cooker, took an esky too, had all the food we needed to stay for a weekend.
We've even added a few more items to the camping equipment, got a couple of camping chairs and a tarp or two to make a little awning at the back of the van and a little table too... More trips are planned! ;) Just need a converter (i think thats the name of the thing we need), a power supply thing so that we can have some power other than using the van's battery...
We're actually thinking of heading over to Fraser Island. Mateus is keen to try Kickin' Super Tripper on the sand... He wanted to give it a go on the weekend, but i wasn't so keen... So, thats the next plan.. Fraser... I hope she can make it!
Onwards we roam... :)

pluto pup

We've been thinking, about getting a puppy... :) Mateus and I... We've sort of had it in our minds since we decided to get a house.. and now that we have a house, we've been thinking about it even more.
I've always wanted one.. as you know.. but have always thought that I wouldn't really be the best owner of a puppy cause I used to live on my own, and would always get home late and never have any time for the puppy.
But, I think it might work now... :D
It would only be alone in the mornings, because Mateus gets home in the afternoons, and would be great company for him... could take him for walks and play around etc. So we've been thinking seriously about it.
Just a little dog, or medium little. The neighbours out the back of us have these two sweet little puppies, not sure what type of dog they are, but they are so gorgeous. One is black, one is white.. sort of like mini-boxers without the slobby cheeks... haha.. is the best way I can describe them. And after finding that video below, I really want a boxer now! hahaha
Anyway... anyone have any suggestions for types of dog? I looked around on the rspca site the other day, there are some really cute cross breed pups around... ;)
I like the idea of a cross breed... a mutt! Sort of go for the underdog...
Need to see if the owners would allow it first, owners of the house that is... They did have a maybe to small pet, so we might be able to... we're waiting to ask after they realise just how great tenants we are!
Oh, door update! They came around this morning, with bi-fold doors... but when they went to put them up, realised that the company had cut them too small! Damn... so now we have to wait, for them to buy new doors, send them down to Sydney to be cut, and then send them back up here again. Don't ask me why they have to send them down to Sydney... its a little stupid in my brain, no-one can cut them in Brisbane? Hmm.. maybe theres an opportunity there, door cutters needed!!! So, another couple of weeks before we get doors.
We're off to Stradbroke Island tomorrow! To the Reggae festival Island Vibe... Taking the van on our first weekend away! Sleeping in the van even... :) Have tomorrow off work so that I can fully relax and get into the whole island vibe.. hahahaha

This is where i'm headin... enjoy the weekend everyone...

festival song part two...

Too much for one post!
On with the photos.. ;)


Here is the kitchen and you can see the dining there too... on the right hand side is the second bedroom door... frame... no door.. ;)


The favourite place of all, the hammock and bbq! hehe.. on our back deck... its so nice... i have finally put that hammock up, well actually Mateus put it up, i just lay around in it!


The other side of the deck, sorry about the rubbish in the corner.. bin day is today... hehe... nice screen there so we have some privacy from the neighbours at that side. The neighbours, by the way, have a great big german shepherd called Bear... heheh.. He is just like one!


The backyard.. with the same clothes line as home home! Even has little papaws growing in the corner... :) Mateus is super excited... hehe


And finally, the view from the other side of the house.. looking towards the front door.

So, there is the house.. its sweet and little and the perfect size for us.. Ivan and Jess moved with us too.. we're not sure if they will stay on with us or not... not too worried about that at the moment...
Things are going really well here. We've been spending a lot of the weekends fixing the van and setting up the house.. and yeah, its been really good. Its Mateus' birthday today, so we had a bit of a celebration on the weekend. Cake (chocolate and coconut cake with a dash or two of rum in it.. ;)), I got him tickets to a reggae festival thats being held over on Stradbroke Island in October, so he's started setting the van up as a camper van, building a little bed frame etc. Its so nice to be able to spend time together like that....
And... I have something else.. A new piercing! Hehehe.. I got my bottom lip pierced!! In the middle... its going to eventually be a little spike, but at the moment its a bigger one, to deal with the swelling.. I got it done on Saturday, so its still pretty new.. but i really like it... My lip is a teensy bit fat, but its not really noticeable.. which is good.
TA DA!!!

cute huh?? ;) hehehe....

festival song

Hey hey hey!
I'm here.. around... enjoying the house and the recent sunny weather... summer is definitely coming back... And I am actually looking forward to it!
Hehehe...
But, before I go any further, here is the soundtrack to this post.. (I like the idea of blogposts having soundtracks... sets the mood... ;))
The Festival Song (Summer Days)

The house is so good... Moving out of the apartment is definitely one of the best things thats happened recently. Not that living in the apartment wasn't good too, just that the house has a better atmosphere. So much better, settled even.
We inspected this house late on a Friday afternoon, and basically right then and there put in our application, got approved the next day while we were driving around looking at other houses... Its perfect, two bedrooms, two bathrooms... cute little queenslander, but you know all that already!
But the funniest thing about the house, is that we have no doors!!! Yes, thats right.. no doors.. on the bedrooms and the ensuite in Mateus and my bedroom. Hehehe.. which was quite a surprise... because the house has door frames, that really stand out.. you see the door frame, and expect a door there. But, the owner apparently believes that people don't need doors, and hasn't put them up. hehehe.. And we didn't even notice until after we had moved everything! Hahahaa... At the inspection, we didn't look for doors.. we saw the frames.. looked for windows etc. Assumed all houses came with doors.. apparently not! We got the keys on Monday, and Mateus and Ivan had been moving everything all week, and it was only on the Friday when we were staying there for the first night, that they noticed we had no doors! Hahahaha.. Hilarious... So, we've constructed our own doors.. Mateus and I have hooked up a sleeping bag on our bedroom door, and have that piece of material from Cambodia as our ensuite door... and Ivan and Jess have the spare mattress up in their door. They are lucky, cause that second bathroom does actually have doors, one into the bedroom, and one into the kitchen... hehehe.. just a bit funny that we didn't realise before we moved in... But, the owner is going to put up doors, in the next few days we hope. Folding ones, so that we don't lose space. Should be really nice... to have a door again... ;)
Anyway, here are some photos! YAY!


The front door.. my umbrella suits the house hey! :)


The view through the front door.. living room on the right, our bedroom on the left.


Living room, complete with little office 'nook'.. heheh.. We bought that desk and chair from Pam cause she has left the country to go to Japan. Fits in perfectly and is really good to have a desk for the computer... Living room is the perfect size for our furniture.. the couch fits in perfectly, not too big, not too small... its quaint.. hehe


Our bedroom... Mateus' surf board... bed... door frame, but no door... hehehe ;)


The ensuite in our bedroom... we took that little clothes rack from downstairs, and Mateus is using it to hang all his t-shirts... Not enough hanging space in our room... but the rack is good... The material is pretty too... reminds me of you E!! :)

To be continued...
