Heavy Inca's










"i woke up this morning thinking it may be a brighter day,
and yet it remained to be another normal day,
A day where i am swamped with the everyday guilts and trauma's,
Where is my magic ball that would sweep me off this hole?
where is that familiar hand i want to touch again?"












I had a heavy appoinment today with the library,
collecting books for my essay which is due tomorrow.
So, as usual i came out of the library with 5 well sized books
all about the Inca's and latin america,

In turn causing the pain on my shoulders.
Before all that happened, i had a morning run with my record.
Sent some mother's day postie's to people i love, had 2 salmon rolls
on the walk. Ah yes, i bought myself 2 cd's. One of my favourite musical:
FAME, and James Blunt to add to my self killing/depressing songs i love.
And now, im currently tuned in and pleased with my purchases.

After the library ordeal, I hopped on to the 86 tram then took a nice
walk down brunswick. Just felt like taking an exercise. Entered the beautiful
stationary shop, and got myself a good notebook for $4, and beautiful cards
for mother's day. My next wish is to buy some vintage posters to put up.
I am very keen on the japanese, bazaar with cats & the old movie star pin ups.

Then, in the mood to keep walking...i walked all the way down the street.
Waited by the tram stop to notice this poor pooch all huddled and in
desperate need of a blanket. His owner was one of those guys who carried
a water bottle to keep your car a good wipe.

It was a short tram ride then i took of to continue walking back home..
passed the lovely street and passed my favourite bakery & back to
home sweet home to find no one home....

New hobby

mugshot of the day: happy, dazed, choced up,need a haircut & colour,dont let the day end
hidden mrs fields within my own bag!




mood: feeling sheepish about the 2 and half mrs. fields nibblers i ate

cookie type: milk chocolate, chewy choc fudge & caramel(blegh!didnt like it)

Productive: I did some research for my essay 1000 words, Mostly getting an insight on
the Latin American culture. Decided that i would work on the historical side of Peru, Machu Pichu....

Exciting stuff: haha well for me, I bought my first record then proceeded in getting another one.
I got a lot of weird glances, well i was the only lady in the record shop. So hopefully, with
lot's of practice i can enjoy my own session of music.

Feel in love with this pair of boots, i am still contemplating on it. However, if i do get more shifts at work it could be a reality to own them. It's black leather no heels, knee length, some black wool like top....looks rather bikish but it's me. Ok, now i sound like i already own them. hahaha

Being a lawful citizen , i actually bought myself a tram ticket for the short visit to the city.I must have been traumatized by yesterday, :) I really need to get my butt up and going
to finish what i was supposed to do today which is design!!!

shit, it's tuesday


mood: munched on a handful of Mnm's(mint..yum!) ---> in turn giving me a buzz, also a panic attack on the amount of h/w i have yet all i would like to do now is to close my eyes and rest.
Series watched: Sex and the city, Australia's Next Top Model...soon another episode of Sex and the city.....I know pretty lifeless....


angry/annoyed: one customer didnt come to pick up her prints & a bloody tram fine
shesh* i dont know whether i should say it was an unlucky day for me.

Proceeding towards the topic of
personal space. How do we define it especially with

closed ones. How do you tell a bf
about needing some extra time in your own home?

how do you tell a friend she's just in
your face. I dont think there's any softer way of

putting anything into words now a
days. Everyone seems a tad bit more sensitive

& moody. So, do we actually
compromise and not get our own way? And yet, in

different cases we find that some
enjoy the "no air to breathe" situation. Happily

lapping and giving their energy to the
others. For me, i cant bear it but hey, it's my

own choice to choose so perhaps i
would be the "mean" & "ruthless" person but in

reality I am just respecting my own
decisions and bearing in mind telling the truth.

over the bunny easter











yeap....tired....actually my feet hurt thanks to hiking with slippers






The drive to daylesford and the day in town was great.
We started of pretty late & i burned a crummy cd that we all got
tired of on the way back.hehehe...

1st stop: Railway markets....It was a good stopover because they were plenty of cool
items i loved looking at. They had this gorgeous hat but at the price of $88 for a
casual sunday market wasnt quite what i was after. So i went off, to get bits and pieces and i did regret not getting some antique plates to frame as well as the old iron that would have made a lovely display in the house. Oh well, doesnt matter....Because i do want to make another stop next time.

2nd stop: Boat house, Since it was by the lake. I decided to have the customery fish and chips and everyone else had great lunch with them to. We then went off for a little paddle, i got paired with rico because i had done rowing and as i remembered it just wasnt my thing.hahaha, not only that i wanted to relax...it was absolutely hilarious watching the boys try to move....I think with 30 mins we got, we managed to paddle our way around the lake.
3rd stop: Quite knackered at this point, we made a quick pit stop in the city. I feel in love with this antique shop. I wanted to get this oil tin and a childrens toy pram then i had the sudden image of a ghost child pushing it in the house. haha* that put me off... After my stroll alone, i met the boys and we went into a chocolate shop to get some treats for ourselves...

4th stop: Chocolate mill, hehe i know we're greedy. I cant help it, im a chocolate freak!So, we had a glimpse of how they made it & i bought a little box of chocs and had vanilla ice cream with melted belgium chocolate....;)

5th stop: Our hike all the way to the springs....to find that there was NO WATER.....and hiked back to another spring to find that we were going around in circles. But we did fill up some water in another spring which was close by. Erk! the water was like sparkle min water with rust which reminded me a lot of tacurongs water. hehehe

6th stop: blow hole....short walk to find that there was nothing exciting there and the boys started throwing rocks to see who could hit the platform...haha i was just watching and i had 2 try's...almost!
time to head home, we didnt make it to the lavender farm because it was too late but i do plan to go there again with the intention to enjoy a spa.

a stroll in the park


Mood: annoyed because i still cant check hotmail...:(
whats the point of getting internet at home then.
Secondly, bloated from the steak sandwich and my packed vegebar
and the only think that was pleasant was hrmmm...sex and the city


I cant wait for Sunday, looking forward to a drive to Daylesford, had
always wanted to go there. wink* im the organiser of the things to do
which they all should be worried about because hehehe i will try to pack
a lot in a day. So hopefully, it would work out because it seems like such
a pleasant town.

lavender farms, beautiful breakfast...markets and shopping on organic things...
;) too bad we dont have time for the spa's!
what ever happened to claire danes?

"Macho" is in



Today, i have an absolutely fixation on men and when i mean men....
I am talking about hunky, beefy, rough and manly men.
I still cant get rid of the image of their every single move,
every step they took to kill in the protection of pride and dignity.
I am talking about the movie 300, it has filled my expectation and perhaps
a little more with the structure of the film. Every minute was played
in order for us to capture the sense of sensuality, emotion and sweat.
So sexy!

The ellaborate costumes and fighting scenes were just gorgeous.
Look, at me im practically gushing as if i was in love. The women
were ideal to me, beautiful faces and bodies and they were strong.
No wimpy, house wife standing by her husbands every need.

Fighting back then, despite it being fiction. I always thought had
more skills. Now, there's nothing easier then to pull the trigger
to get one man down. The story turns over and a new page is read.
I think a hard earned skill is one to keep, so in my mood to keep up
a talent or a vigorous purpose in life, I will get back to some dance
classes with chunky move and maybe try to get my ass back on kick boxing.
The thrill was always there for me, to hit something.....*hehe
not very girly but yeah felt good. Ok..time snoozessss...work tom!
one last thing, where can we find these men with perfect abs.....?

tech world











Im not trying to sound cheesy...but today , my whole world shook and stood by the word "tech"
Firstly we were greeted by the early sounds of a door bell, to finally introduce more tv knowledge into my brain by getting foxtel, then almost immediately our internet came!
oh the joy....i can now sit and stare on the blank screen.
Move on the best part of my day, was my introduction to dinkums.

Really, glad i got the job and hopefully with much concentration i will
be able to help customers to print without any botched jobs. Il make progress...i hope* anyhow everyone has been really helpful, thank u mr betty!

The final dessert, was feasting my eyes on fashion tv and etv....and
god i can go on....now we can have out very own american version of tvo!
thanks to the modern age of technology...
my supper....is to simply dine in and...erk....finish up tech 5 for tomorrow...
then finito no more classes till easter is over....
pics of the lovely sydney road music festival, my encounter with
the steel ballerina's in docklands...and mi loca en mi casa...

the BIG B



it was a tight arse tuesday, 2 days ago so me and ajie went down for
a spontaneous hit to catch a flick. Picked out Bobby and it was worth every $9bux
i paid for. Even managed to bump into my tutor for design who was watching
something about coppers in brit which he says was worth catching.
Ok, im not always this nerdy but i am actually still in Uni even after classes
and the clock is slowly ticking to 11.00, well in 7 mins to be precise.
I have loads of work to do,to catch up on as well as a mini test on
Spanish....i hate doing the grammatical side to it....boo hoo*

Back, on my review on Bobby. What caught us were the big time actor's
on it. There had to be atlest 12 of them including a very stoned out Ashton
which was hilarious. The movie actually raised a patriotic personality in me, I may
not be American but the message sent out by Robert, F Kennedy
was indeed for human kind and adaptable in any context relating to the current situation in the world right now. He raised topics on Coming together and working
together to make a better place. Issues of racism, the actual clips where he was around people of all races giving him cheers, respect and love gave me goose bumps.
People admired him, and the other 12 dif characters gave a a story that in the
end all tied in. It's amazing the sense of sensitivity you can get or how
emotionally connected you can feel for others. Even, if they are strangers,
it's a charm most people arent given " the ability to connect".
ahaha, some may not aggree and say that its a politicians job
but in the romantic side of things, it seemed to be a period
where money wasnt the biggest evil, people were learning to listen and
cared more. Let's hope there will be a bigger picture for us and the future.

down the drain

i had the worst moment in my life, in my greedy attempt to hunt for oysters i somehow
gotten myself into a severe case of food poisoning. The only good part about it was that
it wasnt the blues of locking myself in the toilet but it was a hell of a lot of chucking.

i chucked 4x times.... from 12-4 am....today actually.
made 2 tries with medicines but that got chucked out
even water wasnt accepted. so i suffered, held myself together
and managed to sleep through. I was so dissapointed that i had
to make a last minute pull out on work.sigh*

meal of the day = nothing exciting
1. 3 slices of toast
2.porridge
3.a small bottle of 7up and water.....

no more...oysters for me

bonito friday

yo me llamos Giana,
jo tengo vientitres anos,
mi zapatos son negros,
yo tengo el pelo negros y rojo,
mi familia de malaysia y filipinas.

hehe...my humble approach to describe myself in spanish.
Its great to think some words could relate directly to tagalog like
gaupo = handsome, pantalones = pants, monday= lunez

so, muchos gracias my nino & ninas

crazy signs taking over




mood: to rule the world, more like to sing some snoozes out...

i noticed i seem to talk about sleep all the time, yes i am one
of those people who constantly obsessed about beauty rest, sleep
11 hours every night to have a normal day. I would swap any day for
a 5 hour sleep and a little bit more energy. I am a little weakling. hah*

im still on my way to finish up my eidetic map, looks all right to my
eyes but i am not to sure whether it has the proper information needed on it.
It's rather cartoonic and silly but i think it might get some sort of idea through
the class. Okay it's 4.30pm ive been sitting here since 2.55pm....haha not bad
ive got an 1 and half hours to go.

thank god it's friday tomorrow, im a bit sluggish about getting up for a 9.30 am
class and a lecture right after about the BCA. i have loads of work for tech 5...
the joy of construction and the technical side to archi.

hrmmm..i have the whole weekend to myself *nice...

the return of the uncanny

mood: irritable.....starving and having shivers down my spine

I have managed to "plonk" myself into the university library. It's funny to think that i am actually here because the last time i was here would probably be in my 1st year of archi.
so, that itself puts me in the uncanny....very strange

it's been so busy busy , time is passing by like nobody's business....
and i still havent settled in with my things. I swear i must have a whole
collection of junk. Day in day out, i keep throwing out things but i dont
seem to find it reducing in size. Truly, i love to collect and i harbour " treasure's"
hahaha...in my eyes offcourse.

my legs are aching to, from the much needed walk that was absent during my lovely
5 month stay back home in kl. I am reduced to a walking stick, there goes my ability
to carry heavy plates...let alone try to shift furniture around. I also have added a new
found family member into my house, a replica of dali except a tabby...and her name is
chloe....who is absolutely 5 yrs old in human age. So restless and naughty, god i dont think
i can bear to have kids, it will drive me insane

It seems as though, putting my education on hold has actually changed a lot in my
eyes. The people i meet go through transformations, familiar spots are no longer
homely and the city itself breathes out a different vibe. So, i am back to where i started
beginning something new that really isnt.

* time to toodles, i need some form of carbs, protein and fat in my system and perhaps
another session if endless cleaning. oo yeah, i have spanish tom ;)
