Much love. So I will add it now, its funny how life changes. Anyways added are some london fotos. Much love to all over the new years time.

Once upon a time, a girl asked a guy
"Will you marry me?"
The guy said, "NO!"
And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing,camping, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook,had s*x with whomever she pleased and farted whenever she wanted.
THE END
Ok. My life is a little random at the moment. Im sick but I have had so many plans which has been tyring me out sososo much! I thought I was close to a breakdown.
The thing is its just so hard to decide weather I should go out(and have loads of fun) or stay home and get better.(I know which one makes more sense but I have been choosing the going out one. My life has been a little random so if you havent heard the beginings of it it will be a little random. But Ive been a bit of a slut with this NZ guy and a South African guy. The NZ guy and me both know(im sure especially since he keeps talking to me about this girl that he has a crush on) So its just a really weird experience in which I dont really want to end.
The South African guy I actually met at a party that I went to on the weekend at a Brasilian friends house, it was quality since it was the 1st house party since I have been here. As you can imagine I got a little drunkish. But it was just so much fun not to be going out to the clubs where you have to make your way home afterwards. I just ended up crashing on these guys floor and sleeping there til about 2 in the afternoon.

Ok. Things are weird at the moment.Ive moved to London. Great Step. Im having some of the most funtimes in my life>But theres still something missing>Thoughts on my mind at the moment>Troy, Troy, Troy. 1st love who I feel like I will love forever. Ive gotten over him. But I cant let go.Maybe it would just be better to stop contact?Travel. The whole reason I came to Europe was to travel and explore. But im just so freaking broke.How do people do it?......... Ive booked a ticket for 15 December to Sweden and then my plans are to go to Sweden and onto Denmark. Im sure that Im going to do it.
Ive got the All Blacks vs. Scotland game on 25th November which I am REALLY looking forward to.Going out. Working. Sleeping. Im always tired. I just cant seem to get out of the routine of sleeping.
Marco. This Brasilian guy that im sort of seeing. Ideally I like how the situation is, I see him every once and a while, I stay at his. We have fun. Hes cute. We talk, We sleep together. But sometimes I find myself missing him.I dont know if I want that. I want to be single. Independent. Am I one of those people who cant be without a guy>But the snuggling is so perfect. And the kisses on my neck.
I dont know.

Finlandy xmas
Did you know that NZ school children are allowed to write in Text languages in exams. I had no idea about it. I am so ashamed of my coutry for that. Its ridiculous! I was in Finland when my friend told me.
Anyways onto brighter news. I hope that everyones xmas was really nice. I was in Finland with Eeva and her family. It was honestly so nice! It snowed and it was so nice. Sauna was actually nicer than I remembered in summer and I was much more relaxed that I have been in ages. We went for walks and ate way too much food including those Karelin Pirkka which I love!!! And slept and all the time. It was a really nice xmas. Apart from the fact that it literally took me the whole day to get home with all different types of transport (Car, train, bus, plane, bus, tube, walk…home!) after waking up at 9 in the morning with a mild hangover. But it was all worth it.
Coming into work the next day was a bit of a downer but it really cheered me up when it only took 20 mins to get into work compared with the normal 40+! And Eeva is going to come to London in February so that’s really nice! Am not so sure what im up to for new years yet but I will keep you posted. x

Feeling a little blah and tired but excited about all my travel plans. I Am honestly counting down the days until Friday when I go to Finland!! Then a few days slogging it out at work & im off to South Africa.
Am going to walk to Fortrum & Mason tonight with a girl from work as shes trying to help me xmas shop. (I was bitching about not being able to earlier) It will be nice, shes older and I need a mother figure conversation. Surrounded by people her own age all the time a girl could go crazy! Definitely missing the hug factor with Ralph away. He is like my family here. Tonight am going to catch up with a friend who is leaving before I get back from South Africa, we flatted together awhile ago, its so weird the turnover of people in London, at first its really sad when people leave and then you are upset but its just so normal to have people going all over the place all the time. Tomorrow night im going to crash at my friends ebs house and do dinner and a sleepover type thing. She is my closest friend in London but we seem to have drifted apart a little with our lives so it will be nice to have a chat.
Then Thursday I plan to devote soley to packing & Friday its flying time. X .g.
sending you my letter home.
Good morning my querida family, friends & randoms conocidos that are receiving this email :)
Just sending you out the thoughts and hugs, kisses, imaginary presents that I have to give! Wishing you a merry xmas and a fabulous new year! I Hope that you really do enjoy the warmer weather that there is to offer if your in the sun! BBQs and please someone eat a packet of twist
I hope that you have a marvelous xmas. I have been troubled by thoughts lately that I possibly placed my parcels & xmas cards in the wrong bag when I went to the post office, (so typical of me, spend the money to send them home & stick them in the wrong bag!) SO it would be really nice to know if you or you hear of anyone receiving theirs. Just to calm me. I sent them last Wednesday.
Xmas life here is hectic. You can hardley move in central london for all the shoppers etc. Traffic basically come to a standstill & you would not believe the amount of tourists that there are! behind that all it is still nice. People are giving out free cups of coffee & tea & hot chocolates in the morning outside the tube which is really nice! I really love having a hot drink to start me off in the morning, It really is getting to be really freezing here. Everywhere is cold. They have this amazing thing they call central heating but as far as I can see its just a load of crock really. No place I have been it works properly! (true story!!!) Its either so hot that you are going to suffocate (much better in some ways) or you feel on slightly hotter than you would outside….
How are things on your side of the world? I hope that they are not too cold! Global warming can be a bitch right? I am looking forward to this Friday so I can go to Finland yayayayyay! Another white xmas… Although I didn’t ask if its snowing…..It was funny because I was talking with sis yesterday about what I should wear and she was all like. Warm clothes but its not that cold this year, its only -5deg. I was like, you do know that in NZ it would NEVER EVER GET THAT COLD! So wish me luck! |ts out in the country so it will just be hugely relaxing and hanging out with Eeva & her family. I cant wait to go! I fly out quite early in the morning but still late enough to have sufficient sleep. I think it’s the 1st time ive ever actually had a sensible flight! I mean I normally fly out at like 6 in the morning and back like 1ish… Cheap flights :) which just means that you have to gt up at 3 in the morning or stay up until 3 in the mornnig to get there on time…
Madrid was really nice, as I have been there before it was more about tapas/drinks/cafes all the things that I really enjoy! And everytime I go back to spain I just want to move there! Mum if you ever do go to live there im definitely coming. Its amazing the difference in temperature from the summer to the winter! In summer the temps are around 45degs. But they were around more like 0deg this time. Summer was unbearable. But I found this weather really nice. Although temps were colder than london there was still sun which you don’t really see in London.
Anyway ive been babbling on about nothing really. I really hope that you all have a fabulous xmas and new year and eat loads of yummy nz food! X

Madrid
Well I just got back from my weekend in Madrid and I loved it. It was the total opposite of when I was there last summer. American tourists were replaced with spanish tourists & spanish locals toting wigs (pelucas) & masks. The unbearable heat was replaced with a cold chill but the sun was a nice relief. As I feel like I havent had sun touch my face in what feels like months in London. The sightseeing trek was replaced with more coffees and tapas and delicious food overall. (perfect for a real foodie) and speaking with random spanish people. I just had a wonderful weekend just what I needed.
I have always found travelling relaxing, from the moment I get into the airport I feel like im at home. I feel calm waiting for my flight and love the time out on the flight where you cant really be interupted by normal life for a few hours. I love just knowing the way that airports work and how to get from A-B.
However as my flight left rather early in the morning for luton. As I live rather close to Brent Cross & a night bus goes there I decided to catch the green line from there. But ive never found anything harder to find than that greenline bus stop! I ended up wandering around all these random bridges and underpasses trying to find it! In the end I rung up TFL and I really want to put this out there. They were so amazingly helpful unlike ever before! I just wanted to hug the guy when he told me where the bus stop was even though it wasn’t a TFL bus. So go TFL!
The day I arrived I found the girls camped out in this cute little café/coffeeshop/bar. It was nice, we walked around Madrid etc that day and took off to Salamanca. Salamanca is gorgeous! I loved it. I think the people were just so friendly & I had such a good time! But I don’t mean to go on too much!

Sending holiday wishes home to everyone everywhere. x

My life exsists in the weekend
Well my life in London has been all over the place lately. Ralph headed home for his xmas break last Monday so I have been all alone :(. Which has been quite an experience. Ive been sick so Friday night I spent the night in watching DVDs with the girl whose sharing my room for the moment helping out with rent etc. Saturday I decided it was finally time that I caught up with ebs so I went round to her house for lunch which was really nice. She made fish etc. Then I headed to the spanish meetup meeting which I love. I always manage to meet really interesting people there and its loads of fun to speak spanish etc.
As previously planned I had to head off to my cousins bday party. I was so not in the mood, I was still feeling a little sick and I just couldn’t be bothered. I ended up meeting up with Charlotte and her boyfriend Jimmy which ended up being loads of fun. We went all over town. Yates, trash, pitcher & piano, revolution bar to the garden bar in convent garden. But everything kept closing on us. Hard to believe that in a big cosmopolitan city things are closing earlier than or at the same time as my small; NZ city. After the Garden Bar closed we ended up meeting up with Char & Jimmys gay work collegue outside astoria. So we ended up going out to this gay bar in Vauxhall fire. It was so much fun. Dancing like mad, gay guys(fit gay guys) with their tops off everywhere and loads of straight guys aswell! It was just so randomly not like the normal Saturday night.
Ive been to gay bars before but nothing like this.I think it was so beautiful. The way everyone just was so themselves. Like they normally cant be. Anyway we eneded up leaving at around 9.45 in the morning, As I had previously had plans to go and meet a friend at 10 to show him around London(newbie) I decided to go and meet him at Buckingham Palace where we had planned to meet the night before when I was sober. So I rock up to Buckingham Palace off my tits. Just one of those funny moments, you know your standing outside the queens house absolutely trashed. :) I liked it :). Haha Anyways I was too tired to walk around with him so we just took off to Camden to eat some chinese and then I headed home to sleep for the rest of the day. Bliss. Got up at 6ish to watch the holiday which I throughly enjoyed. Im a romantic comedy freak.
So weekend was nice. Im tired and off. x
