Bula!! (that’s Fijian for “hello” or “welcome”… literally means “life” but you hear it as a common greeting everywhere you go here!) I’m sitting here by the dimly lit poolside, looking up into a clear night sky filled with stars and thinking to myself about the tiny turns of events that led me to being … Continue reading
Ah… so much for me hoping to get more blog posts in! Time just flies by and there’s so many items in my to-do list, I’m out and about so much it’s been weeks since I logged into WordPress to write *hangs head in shame* But alas here I am! Squeezing in a post before … Continue reading
I have soooo many updates!! But in between work and other social plans I barely sit down long enough to write proper entries haha. Not a sign of a good blogger.

Busy week aside, and this weekend being “the first weekend of Summer” here in New Zealand, it was … Continue reading
I think I’m being stalked. I still need to prove this theory though. I was walking to work yesterday morning, leaving home a little earlier than usual to enjoy my stroll as it was a beautiful sunny day. We’ve been having these crazy windy days as of late, with grey skies and continuous light drizzles … Continue reading
Yesterday has been added into one of my ‘memorable moments in life’ list. I’ll tell you why. I had some time off work this week and took a local flight up to Auckland on Tuesday 8th November. I have a cousin who has been studying in Auckland University for the past 4 years and is … Continue reading
