Listening: 'Wish you were' by Kate Voegele

This blog is slowly starting a collection of spiderwebs. I apologise for that. There has been too much going on and it's been chaos. I'm very stressed out from uni and it is putting alot of pressure on me and others that makes us feel that we can't finish our assignments on time. The period during the last entry... we went surfing with Zeren's mates, celebrated Renee's birthday, celebrated our 3rd anniversary, went surfing again on our own, had a birthday if I can remember... and a couple more outings I reckon.

Yes 3 years for the both of us. It really seems much longer because we were mates first. And we did something really simple as it was cold back in last part of April. So we had brunch in our balcony with some bacon, sausages, french toast with cold beer! Both of us in our hoodies and uggies. Simple but fun.

Renee had her party at her place which was really fun. I haven't really played twister before and it was hilarious when Ben was playing. He felt his age was catching up to him a little bit. Heaps of dancing which I got it all on video. *thumbs up* Yes I know people who are embarrassed by the videos now haha.

Went through a really dark period in which I'm taking baby steps to recovery. No worries, I'm fine and getting there.

Promoted heaps in surfing. Zeren took me for a double session of surfing as a birthday treat. I was discouraged most of the time because I was trying a shorter board and going for bigger waves. So it was tons of nose dives and drank heaps of saltwater. Very yucky but I'm very determined to try again and again. Zeren's more of a long boarder whereas I'm trying to go from long boarding to shortboarding. He's got the strength while I got the stamina in the water. If only both of us had each other's best surfing bits, it'll be good. I got clawed by a crab. Painful. But I think I scared him off good. When he bit my foot, he held on. I grabbed him (palm size fellow) on his shell, not bothering anything. He got freaked that I grabbed him and he let go. After which I threw him one side. Crabs. Beware of Claire. She's coming to get you and this time, she's putting you in a net for her dinner. Ha!

Birthday was simple. I guess the older you are, it doesn't matter much. On the day itself we had studio. All of us were really bummed out as we were really stressed from our assignments. We were pouring out our frustrations to David and it kinda spoilt the day a little. Renee organised a surprise lunch at Australia'a Pizza House. Thanks Renee! Luckily I had another plan for friday. After class, drinks at the Beer Garden at World's End. People were more upbeat and happier. Geert joined us and it's his 50th birthday's tomorrow.

Had my final shot of Gardasil vaccine. I think it's some powerful shit. Usually it's just aching muscles on the arm but it was hard to sleep at night. Shivers and stuff happening in the tummy was awful. It's still going on alittle bit now. Chest pains at times but it's common side effects of the vaccine. I think the final one is the final blow to it all. At least I got all 3 doses. Things should be alright soon.

Up to date which is my grandmother calling me to insult a painting I did for her. I printed a photo quality print for her and she hated her face. Probably the biggest insult to date in my life. I also didn't appreciate a third party's comment on this and it's not Zeren of course. Of course, my grandma doesn't know how frustrated I am so I'll just send nothing else but a card for mother's day or maybe nothing. *growls*

Some pictures from group surfing, the last of 2 day surfing and 3rd anniversary. Now awaiting Zeren's japanese lunch. Sashimi!! Hoho.
