When’s my Turn to Fly to Australia?

April 1, 2008 – 12:27 pm

Last night, over dinner, my dad was sharing about his Australian friends who work full-time and run a hobby farm as an after work recreation. I’ve visited their 60-acre farm in Austalia before. Ian and Helen Ward’s lifestyle is amazing.

Every morning before work, they will wake up early to make sure their horses are not too cold (the horses wear rugs as winter jackets) and feed the dogs. After that, they will shower and get to the office. They will work from nine to five, then they will get back and tend their gardens, pamper their cattle with fresh hay, train their horses to gallop and canter, weed out any suspicious looking plant in the pasture and play Fetch with the two labradors.

The good news is, Nic is now convinced that it is a good idea to travel to Australia and visit Ian & Helen Ward’s hobby farm at the end of next year. Thanks to budget airlines, the flight to Australia is getting more and more affordable so the plan is looking really possible.

What I Learned From My Ex-Boyfriend

March 25, 2008 – 1:04 pm

Things didn’t work out between us not because we couldn’t get along but because we just didn’t gel. It was like two pieces of puzzles that didn’t fit although we could be the best of friends. We’re still good friends now though we only catch up once or twice a year.

My ex was the one who taught me the hip-hop lifestyle. Everywhere I went, I was surrounded by top rap artists, beatboxers, breakdancers, graffiti artists, rappers and DJs who amaze me with their talent and skill. Our parties were filled with freestylin’.

Although we hear a lot about the drug culture in the hip hop lifestyle, my ex was firmly against that as well as many other vices common here. That’s the reason I have so much respect for him till this day.

For my 21st, he gave me a gift in the form of an 8 foot graffiti art that he did on his own.

The huge neon pink words says “Happy 21st CL”. The regular sized black words on the right says “2 Gorgeous 4 Words From Ake.”

It was a sweet time in my life. I don’t know why we didn’t gel, perhaps it’s the hip hop lifestyle that still bewilders me after three years together. Or perhaps it’s some other thing that escapes my imagination.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter anymore because I’m comfortable and contented where I am now. :smile:
