out of sight .

last night i was having a bit of a nostalgia session, not only of year twelve, but of .. say six months ago. its so crazy how things change in such a short amount of time.

even in the past six months, people have gone and new people have come into my life. my closest knit of friends has changed - you know the people that you talk to nearly everyday, that you seem to know what's happening in their lives etc. the ones you chat to straight away on msn, that your mobile inbox is full of, that you don't hestiate to sit next to in lectures.

its always a risk to name said people, cause sometimes people think you're closer to them than you are to them.. but anyway, here's my heart on my sleeve. i know it's hard work to keep friendships going - i mean it's easy if you're 'forced' to see them everyday/week.. but when they move away, its then you see if you and the other person tried enough. sadly, i can't say that i have.

saying all this, i really miss jackie. she was my best ~white~ friend.. and for the first few weeks when she was in london we kept in touch, and it was as if she never left. now she's in ghana, and i don't even know what she's doing. we had the best time the last few weeks she was here.. so many crazy adventures! and im looking forward to going to london in december and meeting up with her - the ultimate jackiesarah adventure in london !!


but still, i miss that girl. i miss having someone to spaz (about anything really) with, to dance (interruptive dance) with, to stalk zefron (& impact people) with, to crazy drive around with (around the city, hook turns and to no where), to watch lame romantic comedies (so lame that we were litterally rolling on the floor laughing) with and to go to the park after impact to watch the stars and eat chicken knickers.


us at hsmonice//rolling around on the grass//my19thbday .


it's not an excuse, but at the start of the year, maria left as well. (and daniel too :P) i think that girl is probably x100 wiser than i'll ever be. when she left, we kept the emails going for a while .. but (not my fault :P) we stopped.. last night i rekindled our emailing, and found that it was probably april that we last corresponded. i mean, she's come back to melbol couple of times.. and we visited her in wangarratta once (at the start of august) . a few weeks ago she was back, and i must say that it was.. kinda awkward. we had nothing to say.. and that makes me sad . so i'm trying harder .. cause i have so much to learn from that girl ! XD

on the other hand, there are a few people who never even left melbourne that i hardly see anymore . i used to see emily every week even after she left acu, but in the past 6 months or so.. i've only seen her twice. she was my best friend at uni til she left. one person i miss is jn. yeah, i still see her once in a while for our dates and balwyn meetups, but still - there was a point in our friendship when i knew what she was doing all the time.

linda, and my dear brother always say that i'm really clingy. haha. reading this post, it definiately looks like it. i guess i just cherish my friendships a lot. and i expect a lot. all in a perfect world, i'm idealistic. and so, i'm learning that a part of maturing is knowing that things change.. and we just have to accept that.

-----------

on the other hand, a handful of amazingly awesome people have entered my life.


KC was formed at the TP. that weekend was the best (and all without food :O) ! that was only two months ago ! it's crazy to think what's happened since then LOL. so much drama. DUN DUN DUN .. dun ! these children! what other 19 year old could say her biffles were 13 and 15? hahaha.

from tp, to stayallnightovers, to iceskating, to bananas, to shopping, to PETERBOROUGH and a lot of drama (and all that comes with that.. XD) . i have no idea what i did before these girls XD especially janey, its been such an honour to be your awesome leader :P im only as great as i am because you children are awesome.. but really! i love you janey, even with your gun (: there's a reason that i ding! you on msn straight away, and stalk you on the bus LOL . and more than because of biffle ! :P


and how could i forget, my nursing buddies. none of them read this, but heh. most people know the sadface i've been about having 'no friends' at uni . this semester has been the breakthrough, and what i've been praying for for the past year and a half. because of these people :


yumcha, roadtrips, writing and drawing pokemon in lectures, homemade muffins, poo&wee jokes, wagging insane amount of lectures, doing webct tasks together, boy problems & what ? yumcha . i'm so glad i've found them (: and they accept me for my weird phototaking, foodinhaling, terrible drawing ways.

-------------

and for those that have been there all along - you know who you are .
(cause this post is already wayyy too long)
i love you (:

-------------

oh and technicaly, this is my 200th post . i just realised that before was my 200th post, but two of those posts were drafts from ages ago that i never posted. and how much more fitting this post was . without even trying . haha .

compassion .

this morning, i got an email :

"Sadly, Bezuayehu is no longer participating in the Compassion Program. Bezuayehu’s family have bowed to the strong Orthodox religious pressure in her community and are not allowing her to attend any more.

We apologise that Bezuayehu is leaving so soon after you began sponsoring her. I trust you will understand that when a child is assigned to a sponsor, we have no way of knowing how long they will remain in the program. "

Then she asked me too look for another child or they'd re-assignment me another child. So, this afternoon I've been child shopping. That sounds terrible, but that's what it felt like. It felt so weird - as if I could have the right to pick and choose a child's future..

So picking a child? Where to start?

Firstly, I narrowed down the search to kids from Ghana, for some reason I feel like I'm more connected to this country just because Jackie is over there right now (even though I haven't heard from her in a while D:).

Which brought me to this page:

http://www.compassion.com.au/child_list.asp?strcountry=Ghana&intgender=&intage=&intday=&intmonth=&imageField.x=40&imageField.y=8

Even so, how could I choose from just faces and names? It's pretty difficult.



Justice Gyimah
http://www.compassion.com.au/child_details.asp?intid=18817
BEST name. JUSTICE. you don't want to mess with justice
& he has the same birthday as phoebe ! 26/9



Sabina Ofori
http://www.compassion.com.au/child_details.asp?intid=18826
Her name is Sabina ! Just one letter away from Sabrina! XD
& Her bday is in May (my month) WOO !

So many faces, so many useless reasons..

But I think I've made up my mind..

This is


Grace Makafui Bosso
http://www.compassion.com.au/child_details.asp?intid=18823

Most of you would know that I kinda already have a list of potential baby names, and so on my oh so sacred list was "Grace" but I already have two cousins with that same name. So I probably wouldn't choose it eventually. Maybe this is the chance to have a 'daughter' called Grace?

I wish I could sponsor them all, but right now.. I don't have the cash to do so. When I graduate, I'm definitely going sponsor another kid. There's nothing else better to do than to invest into the life of a child.

So what about you? Can you spare $40 a month?
That's less than a sushi roll a day .. or that top from Cotton On.
Do it, give to something that lasts.

100 posts ago i posted this :
(posted on april 23rd is strikethroughed & redone in unstrikethrough)
(you know, as a kinda comparison - how i have change kinda thing)

I'm tired of :
waiting for people
this

I am listening to:
silence (if i have muzak i wake my brother and he wouldnt be happy)
mia fieldes

Maybe I should :
sleep
concentrate on studying about substance abuse in pregnancy

I Wish:
people weren't so busy
that wishes would come true

Chocolate is:
love
the enemy! but the oh so irresistable enemy.

I don't understand:
boys
boys

I have lost my respect for:
the wiggles since they ditched the yellow one
you since i found out the truth

I last ate:
$2 lindt chocolate on sale from safeway
dinner : kimchi, roti & omelette .

The meaning of my display name is:
its my name, deal with it.
princess

Right now I'm craving:
more of that lindt chocolate
chocolate

Someday:
i'll be home
someday, i will be the one babe .

I will always remember:
the day i went to disneyland in japan
you.

Love is:
a many splendid thing.. but so hard to find
patient, love is kind .

MySpace is:
a less better version of facebook
still failing to keep up with facebook .

Today:
i watched gilmore girls, went to work, watched gilmore girls, went to uni, went to prayermeeting which was awesome like whoa, watched gilmore girls
went to church, lunch at the crazy packed shoppo, watched max payne, dinner, watched aria awards & looked through learning modules for my online babies subject .

Tomorrow:
i have one class off, another cancelled, picking up my assignment, meeting up with steph, going back to uni & then probably watching gilmore girls.
I SHALL STUDY. no really, i have to.

I get annoyed:
very easily, especially at you
at stupid drivers, though that might be a little hypocritical .

&&&&

i guess i should write something ~reflective~ but right now, i really can't .
that's the thing about blogs, they're for ~expressing~ yourself . its for me , as an emotional outlet. like a story book, to look back on.. i might be selfcentred, but i do read back on my blog posts. to get into the mindset of my past self, and to see if and how things have changed.. or how i can change.

even though i say ~its for me~, there's always a bit of me that holds back from writing it all. the whole crazy truth of what goes on in my head. cause i know someone, well at least my dad, is reading this. so instead, i post pictures of zefron. cause that's safer that exposing my most insane thoughts to the world, world wide web.

why am i writing this? i dont know. its 1.14am. i really should follow sarah's advice of not saying anything after 11pm.

oh and to finish : happy 21st birthday david alexander efron .

(be glad that i didn't post 200 photos of him instead :P)

indelible

Walk along here..
feel you move somewhere in front of me

I can't place you with these eyes for the doubt I can't see

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me?
Hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why i believe

That the first time I see your face
Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck full by the truth in your gaze
As you work and indelible change in me

All I have and all I am and all I think and do
Can find it's purpose and meaning and life only in you

brooke..chan ?

today i woke up at 12.45pm. and have been studying since. im so proud of myself. yay for studying, but just a warning to expect a lot more blog posts. lol.

last tuesday after prayer meeting, aka bryan's bday, i went over to give him his present. was invited in, and then stayed til nearly 1am doing vcaa apps. i think i'm pretty pro at photoshop. anyway, we were just randomly hanging out in bry's room & they decided to perform a little brooke fraser.


deciphering me

my dad .

so last week i was late to my last prac class and as we just arrived at the bus stop (park&ride baby) the bus JUST LEFT . and i couldnt be late.. so i begged my dad to drive me down to uni .. and as an incentive, i said id write a nice blog post about him .. cause YES. he reads my blog . (yes janey, you're not alone).

not only did he drive me down for prac, the next day i had to hand in my assignment.. and he drove me down to uni for that as well. oh my dad is swell.

also because today we made dinner together. my dad and i planned to go out somewhere nice for dinner because of the beautiful weather.. but my mum said NO . so we went to safeway & cooked this :

porterhouse steak with a balsamic aromatherapy sultana salad

with bread rolls, haloumi cheese, grilled salami and Vogager Estate 2005 Shiraz .

on the balcony as well, we ate as the sun went down .


it was quite idealic, just as i had planned. but i got 6 mosquito bites. but it was worth it. my brother goes back for one more week of country life tmrw. im terribly bored without him. i love this weather, and daylight savings. you can do so much more with your day (:

also my dad is also cool cause he won me in wii tennis 2:1 in games of 5set tennis. the one time i won was because he was playing left handed. jem thinks he can beat my dad. i beg to differ :P

so there's my post dedicated to my dad. too bad i dont have uni anymore, or he'd totally have to drive me down to uni more often .
1

zefron week .


6 days til my bb zefron's bday . to celebrate the nearly turning 21 of my boyfriend. i shall post a picture everyday. cause i don't have uni anymore. and im terribly bored.
