Day 2

2008-02-27T09:53:08Z

Day 2My hair feels oily.
Usually when my hair feels like this, I take it as a sign I need gto wash my hair.
Can't really say that it is all that bad though.

In other news, why oh why oh why did I ever go out with Roma.
Hwat I feared would happen has kind of happened.
I think he think I hate him (which is not true), however I feel very awkward when I am around him, which is not helped by the fact that
a) he obviously still likes me
b) we have the same calculus class
c) he has decided to sit mext to me in calculuc.

Maybe it won't be so bad once I've gotten past my awkwardness around him.

What is really called for is spending time with him when Rachel and Shelley are there, it's impossible to be awkward with them.

I should really be heading to bed.

DAY 1 of the new regime

2008-02-26T18:52:15Z

I read an article on Monday about how different hair and skin products we do may be doing more harm then good. One of the products that came under scrutiny was shampoo, for it upsets the natural balance of the hair, can cause it to become lank and dry (may be the reason my hair splits so easily), and also can cause feet problem.
The author recommended only using conditioner when you washed your hair.
Now in the past I have heard things like this-you shouldn't wash your hair. But if I don't use shampoo my hair turns into a birds nest it's so full of knots. However sampoo is a different story.
So I decided from now on I won't use shampoo.

One catch, it can apprently take up to 8 weeks for the hair to be completely restored to its naturl balance.

Oh dear. So that's why I decided to start this journal.

DAY 1
It was kind of weird putting the conditioner in my hair without using shampoo first. It made my shower quicker though, which is good because it saves in water and electricity.
I usually wash my hair every second day, because the day afer I wash it, it feels nicer than the first day I wash it.
For Day 1 itfeels like it is the day after I washed it, but different again. Anyway it is feeling very silky, I like it. If my hair stays just like this the whole time there might be nothing to write about. Though somehow I don't think that will be the case.

Two down, two to go.

2007-10-23T18:59:26Z

Had my second exam calculus yesterday.
I think it went okay, I mean I was actually able to attempt all the questions, which is more then I can say for some f the past Calculus tests.
And I found out that study actually works!

Afterwards me, Roma, and other friends from our Calculus class sat around talking.
Even Josh was there, though he doesn't take calculus (or rather they told him he could take second year calculus if he wanted)

I'm not sure what the point was that I was going to make now...

Oh, well.

Happy post

2007-09-16T21:29:56Z

I promised to post something happy this week and so here it is

"I got 94% in my economics assignment!"

I was amazed, did not expect such a high mark at all.

Now all i need to cement my happiness is to have passed my algebra test.

In other news.....
um, I have no camera so don't expect any photos of my fringe anytime soon.

Oh and I got told the other day never to drink coffee...if you are wondering why...I had just drunk a bottle of Coke.

You can guess what happened for me to deserve such a comment.

I am ALIVE (I think)

2007-09-12T04:56:54Z

Yes, I have not been onto livejournal for two weeks.
I can't remember what my last post was and won't try.

I have a fringe, in case you didn't know. I'm used to it know but at first it shocked me.

My great-aunt died almost two weeks ago. We went to her funeral Tuesday of last week. It was really sad, but then at the same time, she has been sick for a long time and it was her time to go.

I saw Ms Van Mulligan at her funeral which was kind of weird.

My sister's birthday was the 8th (sorry to JK and Marina for missing your b'day's). I spent way more on her present then I meant to and am now broke tell me next pay check.
Though it was worth it to see her face when she opened my present.

I had two tests last week and I have one tonight and another tomorrow.

My life really sucks at the moment.

I'm missing Heba because for some reason i never see her around.

I wish i saw more of Roma, but am not sure why.....

I end up spending most of my time with people who i feel are mostly just friends with me so they can steal my brain.

Maybe the world is being taken over by zombies....

If I'm alive next week I promise to write I more cheerful blog.

Yeah, so,
I invite you all to my funeral!

ROAD TRIPS ARE SO FUN!!!

2007-08-27T05:42:28Z

I just got back yesterday fron a road trip up the North Island, it was so fun.
I went with some young people from my church, there were thirteen of us in total.
I think we were acting more like children than uni students most of the time.
We stopped at playgrounds and swung around, and it was so fun!
Yeah, we went to New Plymouth on monday night, and on tuesday we climbed a steep rock and than we went to stay in a cabin on Mount Egmont. It was so cold cus we were close to the snow.
Then on Wednesday we went to Hamilton (that's where we acted like children) My friend took heaps of photos, hopefully I\ll get to show them to you.
And then on Friday we went to Taupo to a Christian camp. That was so fun.
Good food too.
Yes, and my parents went on holiday too.
But they are not back yet.
So I am staying at one of my friends (that went on the trip too) at the moment. Maybe I will go and stay with my brother and sister later on this week.
But yes, so much fun I am having.
Maybe I will visit WGC on Wednesday. Maybe....

Writer's Block: In The Money

2007-07-30T03:14:46Z

If you won $100 this afternoon, what would you do with it?

I would put it in my savings account,
because I have a huge student loan, and need to pay it off!!!!!

Conspiracy!

2007-07-26T03:47:49Z

I want to kill this computer. It keeps logging me out of gmail.
It is a conspiracy to stop me talking to Kyle. Because we both know to much!

There is another conspiracy. This conspiracy is making sure I have too much school work to attempt my dream at uncovering all their conspiracies.

Damn them all, I'll think of a way around this somehow!

unfair

2007-07-19T03:51:53Z

I was going to do a big long rant just like Heba, but I realised I have class soon,a nd not enough time to rant. But watch out I will be back here to rant anytime soon.

Oh, and I changed that pic (of Kyle) to a link, so hopefully you'll actually be able to see pic now.

In fact I will paste it here too.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p283/Dewymorning/Kyle.jpg

ARGH!!!

2007-07-05T04:29:16Z

I keep thinking I need to update my livejournal, but I don't know what to write.

I think if I said what I wanted to say it would come out wrong.

Go Micheal, the cool grand piano!

hehe

Oh, and Heba. Kyle just said having a high on music is the best kind of high.

Squee

YAH!!!

2007-06-28T02:48:06Z

I got an A+ for my economics exam and overall grade!!!!

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

2007-06-24T22:14:32Z

EXAMS ARE OVER AND ALL MY FRIENDS ARE BACK IN TOWN!!!

Well, almost all of them. Kate doesn't come up tel Thursday and JK is in Canada (quietly sobs).

And of course Kyle lives in Ohio, but I don't think he counts anyway.

My life at the moment consists of meeting up with ppl, working, wasting time on the internet, and reading.

life is good. Life has chocolate.

I'M A NERD!!!!

2007-06-20T01:44:45Z

Pure Nerd
78 % Nerd, 17% Geek, 34% Dork
For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd
The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. Congratulations!
Thanks Again! --

Weekend

2007-06-18T00:07:47Z

My parents went away this weekend 9to some fieldday in Hamilton), so me and my sis spent the weekend at my fro and sis-in-laws place. It was fun, I guess.
We had croissants for breakfast on Saturday, and pizza and noodles for lunch (so healthy).
And on Sunday we watched Hoodwinked, which is pretty funny.
My mum bought me a hersey made out of Alpaca wool, it's really soft and warm.

I'm so happy at the moment. not sure why (or maybe I am)

hehe,
hope everyone is having fun.

Interesting....

2007-06-15T04:47:44Z

I met this guy on gaia online at the gaia ball this weekend and we have been talking online everyday since.

so sick

2007-06-13T02:05:22Z

My virus has become a secondary infection, In other words, my cold now has a cough, or in other wirds, it's gone from bad to worse.

I want to be healthy not sick!!

In other news the screen of my computer has gone capute.

The compurer still works perfectly fine, I just need to connect to the tv screen (which is what I'm currently doing) shame I don't have my own TV.

Maybe my bro has a computer screen I can stea...a borrow.

Oh, because I'm so sick I doubt I'll make it to the cosplay picnic. Have fun anyway

Wedding-UPDATED

2007-05-27T21:41:50Z

I was going to make this huge post about the fabulous wedding but I need to go to class in ten minutes, no way near enough time, so I will come back and edit this post later. (I.e. watch this space)

I feel so good today on account that I went to bed at like 8:30 last night.

Morning
Woke up at 7:30am, had shower, breakfast etc.
We left the house at 8:45 and took Christina to a hairdressers in town. (They were Chinese so she could not understand a word that they were saying)
We then went to another hair dresser in Newlands where me and mum had our hair done.
The hairdresser could be a head massager, getting my hair washed felt so good.......
My hair was then put in curlers and I had to sit under one of those 'ovens' things for almost an hour. It basically was just a thing that made warm air circulate around my head. I just sat there reading while she did my mum's hair. At about 11:20 we went home, had a light lunch, got dressed and did make up. We then realised mum had lost the keys to the car but we couldn't find them anywhere so we had to take the other car.

Wedding
We were one of the first people to arrive at Gear homestead where the wedding was taking place.Also there was my aunts and my grandparents. We stood around and greated the other guests as they arrived (eyed the presents), and waited for people to arrive.
At 1:45 the bride (Ester) arrived in a Rolls Royce with Christina, Cynthia and Sam (the page boy). They all looked very lovely ((I'll post pics when I can)).
Ester looked very different because she wasn't wearing glasses and her hair was up. She was wearing a hoop under her dress and platform boots to make her taller
Yeah, anyway they than had the mnain part of the wedding, and a large afternoon tea.
After that we had to stand around for ages while we had our photo taken (I'll post some)

Afterwards
(got to go)

Funny thing.

About five minutes after I made my last post, the fire alarm in the building I was in went off.
So exciting!!!!!

The bear's eyes are just like the light that was flashing on and off.

Ha.

Yah for randomness

2007-05-13T21:25:03Z

This is just a post to say I am alive and well.
I went to a Bridal shower yesterday for my sis-in-law-to-be, which was fun.
We got to make her a wedding dress out of paper.

Funny thing, before we went mum put some soup on to cook but she forgot to turn it down. We saw Jeremy at the party (as he was dropping his fiancee there), so mum asked him to turn down the soup when he got home.
Only he forgot.
So half way through the party mum got this call telling her that we had no dinner as the soup had burnt.
The house still stinks :-(
But we had pizza instead so that makes up for it.

so the weddings in just under two weeks. I need to buy
1) Jewelary (colour red)
2) Boots
3) make up
4) wedding present
before than.

Ha, Na just walked into the room but she didn't see me.

My mind is cool (and female)

2007-05-09T01:57:34Z

I'm reading a book at the moment called "the essential difference" which explains the difference between the male mind and the female mind (notice I said mind as opposed to all males and all females. A male can have a female mind and vice versa).
Anyway it is really interesting and it explains that the female mind tends to be better at empathizing than systemizing, and the male mind vice versa. hence why girls prefer to talk about people and there feelings and guys talk about sport scores, car parts etc.
At the back of the book are some tests with which you can find out how good a empathizer and systemizer you are.

Well I thought my results were interesting.
In the empathy test I got 71/80, This means I have a very high EQ. The average male score is 42, and female score 47.
In the systemizing quotient test I got 39/80. This mean my SQ is above average. The average male score was 30 and the average female score 24.

Overall I have a female mind, but the results show that I am better at systemizing than most males are.

Which might explain why I am studying mathematics (which is male dominated)

I think that's kind of cool!

i have an awesome mind!

Anyway I am planning on photocopying the tests if anyone else wants to have a go at them.
