It makes me sad when i am not constantly updating my vox. I love my vox. I am on holidays now too so there really is no excuse to not have been updating more regularly!
Today was a great day. I finished up an essay for art theory which i thought was quite good. I had sculpture in the arvo to wind down the week, then hung out with uni buddy Jill for the rest of the arvo.
Went to Burderkin with Deo and the boys, then decided to have an early one and come home and watch a movie. We decided on Michael Moore's 2007 SICKO. My initial expectation was that it would just expose the unreliability of health care within the U.S, but it actually saddened me.
In Australia, we have a universal health care system, this meaning that people of all walks of life are treated for whatever illness they may have. Private Health Insurance in Australia means that they get a certain percentage back from what ever their health cover plan covers. It means you get pushed to the front of the line. But this all does not leave the uninsured lingering for help. We still help, especially those in need. This is not communist or a socialist ideology, this is more the caring for everybody's welfare....everybody's.
I don't know if the film could have been a exaggeration, but watching the people's stories of being denied from treatment made me quite sad. No one deserves to be shunned particularly in their hour of need. This whole issue of people being turned away by the people who say they will help.....aren't. It justs makes me so sad....
/end of rant.
Enjoy your weekend vox-ers :-)
I handed in my graphics assignment today. Many many thanks to Paul who helped me immensely since i am such a newb when it comes to photoshop.
What piece of advice do you wish you could take?
"When its time to let go, let go"- what my mind has been telling me for quite some time
I just kept going back and i have learnt my lesson for real following last night. I went to Future Music festival and saw the likes of Roger Sanchez, Sven Vath and The Chemical Brothers all bust out amazing beats!
Following this fabulous day/night of festivities i was waiting for Paul at Taylor Square to come with me to a friends house, i saw Musti waiting for a cab with a girl. I was pretty trashed and went up to him and said hey and he was all smiles then introduced me to this girl. Her name is Bruna. So then i jokingly asked him "Is that your girlfriend?" and he responded by simply saying "Well, yeah". I felt like such a disgusting person at that point. This whole time we had been supposedly seeing each other he had actually been cheating on his girlfriend with ME! ohmigod i feel like such a horrible person right now! All i could say was "are you serious....". I then took his hands and looked him straight in the eyes and said "After you pay me back the money you owe me from today, please do not ever contact me again". I felt like such a fool. I had in that moment become the worst sort of person i could have ever imagined to be. He later in the night messaged me saying " I never meant to hurt you..." I have no idea what exactly he was meant to do to me in the first place. I feel so dirty. So inappropriate. Just used i guess.....
I met up back with Melody and the gang after that and then headed to the After Party at Home nightclub. I had so much fun. I think i finally could breathe. I finally can stop holding my breath for him. I just danced the night away. I did meet a very attractive boy whilst at Future Music during the day, and he came with us to the after party. He was so much fun and really funny. He's 28 though and i think that might be a bit too old for me. Who can say what will happen. But meeting him made me realise that it is time to move on from Musti because there is a world full of boys who are more honest and trustworthy than some.
I leave you photos from the final party weekend of my summer, Future Music Weekend you made my life whole!
In my absence from vox i have been keeping myself busy by

I can honestly say that if i drop dead tomorrow my life has been fulfilled. Pretty intense statement, i know, but after going to see Daft Punk on saturday i am complete. Their show was mind blowing. incredible. pain stakingly fabulous. Their light show. the pyramid. the helmets. the space suits. the crowd. the weather. It was all way too good to be true. They played for about an hour and a half and i swear i did not stop dancing the entire set. Absolutely mind blowing. I was in such awe following the performance that i honestly could not speak. Never have a seen anyone put on such a good show as they did. The Sydney show was their last of the Alive tour. Truly a remarkable event. Loved it.
The day after i had work from midday till 8pm. I went home to a house full of friends as we had our xmas bbq at home. It was cool just to have a bunch of our friends all together chowing down and drinking sangria, which by the way is my new favourite drink! I then went out to the Columbian with Mel and Reece to have a boogie then headed home since i had work monday morning.
All in all a fantastic weekend was had. The flat mates and i exchanged xmas gifts last night. I got a digital photo frame, a custom t-shirt and an art in theory book! All fine gifts indeed. I'm at my dad's tonight for xmas eve. He bought my ticket to New Zealand for next year April so thats one less thing to budget for. I only bought gifts for a few people because of my dying finances. Also i managed to break my beautiful mobile phone so i need to get it repaired. When it started to rain at Daft Punk, quite heavily, i thought my phone could stand the rain beating down on the keypad as i was struggling to send a message. Obviously it couldn't as water and electronics are never and will never be a match made in heaven!
I'm going to mum's for xmas lunch tomorrow afternoon then heading back home to the city to spend the night with our new tv and a double episode of gossip girl!
Merry Christmas to all my fellow voxers and a fantastically smashing new and prosperous 2008!!!!!
Show us a good time.
WoW! It feels like i haven't blogged on here in ages...this past october has been so chaotic with uni wrapping up for me yesterday and the hotel i work at being in its peak busy period at the moment, i haven't really had the chance to sit down and do one of the things that i love doing the most, blogging.
So much has happened in a month so in true lazy ass style i shall present you all a list full of updates!
- Parklife 2007 was absolutely phenomenal! We all had a extra super duper time soaking up the sun to some of the best electronic dance acts out there at the moment!
- All my classes have ended for the year
- All my exams and assessments are also over for the year
- I have 4 months of holidays now
- Work has been so chaotic at both jobs, time management is key!
- I bought a great new skirt
- It was Beau's 20th a couple of days after Parklife, we had a nice quiet family dinner
- Stanley the puppy is growing like crazy
- I am going to start at the gym again
- I have a crush on a boy that works behind the bar at Arq, the club i frequent
- I also have a crush on a chef at work, he's just super cute and makes rush hour seem so breezy
- I think i might be going boy crazy- go figure ha
- I am honestly so sorry for not keeping up to date with everyones blogs. Now i have time on my hands so should be on top of it all

- life is great at the moment, no complaints
I'm sure i have pretty much just wrapped up my month long absence from Vox. Here's a few happy snaps from the month gone by as well...till next time
I hate getting too attached to people. It leaves me constantly wanting to be around them. constantly. Yes they are friends. But this is just crazy. I am too attached. I have never been this way with a group of friends till now. I can't help but think that my closeness is way too overwhelming for them at times. i hope not.
Maybe its the rainy weather thats evoking such thoughts... I don't know. I always told myself to retain some sort of personal space/self. But its all gone now. I have over-exposed myself. said too much.
Then when i get attached to people jealousy kicks in. I become envious of friendships they form with others. Possibly because i feel they would rather their company as opposed to mine. Paranoia much.... Its just my insecurities perhaps. After this huge fiasco at the end of high school with my 'group', it changed my whole perspective upon entering into deep relationships with people. I became more weary of who i let in and so forth.
....but now it seems as though i have let go of my guard. I tell them everything.
Bush landed in Sydney last night at 9:30pm. You should see the city. Its like nothing i have ever seen before. The city is officially in lockdown as of last night. And since i live in the city all i could hear last night and this morning were helicopters. There are snipers everywhere and the area in which he is staying is all fenced off. I had to walk to blocks just to catch a bus home from the Art Gallery yesterday. I hope he enjoys his stay thoroughly. Rally's have already started in the City as of today.
I hope the APEC summit does achieve what it needs too. Otherwise what a waste of money on security. I personally hate the government here in Australia. Our current PM ,Mr John Howard, is the biggest suck up to Bush. Quite appalling really. Now by doing so he has made us at risk of 'terror' attacks. All this really has done here is create an intense racism towards Muslims or people of middle eastern background. And quite frankly, i think they're harmless. There are a million 'white' people killing, murdering, stealing everyday. Where's the crunching down on them? Sorry just on my high horse at the moment, i shall now jump off.
I had uni today. I skipped my philosophy class because Buddha doesn't really interest me. I'm moreso looking forward to Thomas Hobbes next week. I agree wholly with his ethics.
Sim'on stayed over last night. It was great to have company. He makes me laugh uncontrollably. He kept us up till 6am and i had to be up for class at 10!! *eeep*. We've become awesomely close friends in the last 4 months and it excites me. He is different from the boys i live with. There's something which makes me feel even closer in a way. I mean Paul is forever and always my best friend/soul mate but Sim'on is my other half. If that makes any sense at all!
Well i bid you all a great night/day!
