Counting down the days...
Hey guys sorry this post i wrote but it never published, pressed save instead of publish... but here it is... a more current one is on the way soon
Hey guys
Once again sorry it's been a while since my last update. Not much has changed, a few people have come and gone, manly weather is still a mixture of rain and sun and working at moo is still good. Continuing with the design work, just finished a limited edition poster for the burger of the month and working on a deal poster for services as well as for the hostel to get more customers in :) currently sat in the common room about to watch 300. Chilling with a packet of crisps and a massive bar of crunchie chocolate, totally chilling tonight! Got a bit of a tummy ache so trying to relax
Went out to the city Saturday night for st Patrick's day went to an Irish bar which was really great fun and a different night out! :) trying to stay on a bit more now though (and failing) so I can save money!! But I have had to spend quite a bit on some warmer clothes cos I literally have nothing but bikins and little dresses haha. Went out for a drink with the other manager at work on Sunday which was lovely, we get on really well which is great and makes working at weekends fun (during the week you are on your own cos it's not busy enough yo have more than one person!
been invited to one of my mates mates house for fajitas on Wednesday which will be a nice change, trying to spend a bit more time with everyone cos I've been focusing my attention on the same people for too long and have been missing the boys and their ridiculous banger haha.
Thursday night I am getting cooked for again by my friend ken (the guy who helped me with the rice on the big curry night) - he is going to make me Japanese curry! Yum! Then I am .... Wait for it.... Being an extra in a music
Video haha one of the guys here is a rapper and one of his mates is recording his music videos in one of the bars in manly and needs extras... And the hostel girls are it! Very exciting, naturally going to attempt to be in centre shot as much as I can... Once they see my dancing skills they won't be able to refuse!! Haha.
Very exciting now... Mel is arriving in two weeks- cant believe it's nearly arrived! Also my other beat guy mate from marketing (he is in aus already with his parents) is joining us Perth to Sydney so we can hang out and then do regional together! Buzzing!!!!!! Gonna be immense to see them!! Those two weeks should go so quickly! Got a few more months left in manly I reckon then I am flying the neat either north or south to do regional then we are planning on doing Bali!!! The surfer guys are going so we are going to meet up with them :) so should be a big group of us :) yay!
I think that's all that's changed! Happy mothers day to all the lovely mums including mine!! :) the film should be on soon!
Love to all! I'll try and update you all again soon!

Weeks just fly by...
Morning from Australia!
We have had a great few days and weekend. Went to shore club again on Thursday and I had a dance off with one of the guys, Jeff, was so funny... and i defo won!!!! was so good haha, and i don't actually really remember it. Shark Bar again this weekend, everywhere was absolutely packed because it was the open of surfing finals! so there were queues around every bar. But when we got in there it was such good fun. I'm hanging out with the girls and the surfer guys a lot more now and they are really nice so its a good set up. Have a good laugh all out together! Bought some new stuff too on Thursday, two new dresses and a pair of killer heels which i can't walk in. Haha, but i absolutely love the outfits and the girls i go out with always looks pristine so i have needed to step up from my usual denim shorts and t shirt combos for dresses and heels haha but its actually been nice to make an effort for a change :) last night we went to sugar lounge and then to shore club but we were so knackered from thursday, friday and saturday then sunday took its toll and i was in bed by midnight!
got a chat with the mc saatchi lady this after noon and a meeting face to face tomorrow so going to clue up on the company a lot more this morning and totally wow them :-/ please everyone keep your fingers crossed for me. i really want this! :)
really loving manly at the moment, the girls are great, jess, bronte and i call each other a little asian family because we are all half ''something'' (jess is italian, bronte is spanish and me iranian of course) and we all have dark hair and dark skin so we get on really well altogether. Claire is a new girl who is sound but she is leaving tuesday which is sad. jess and bronte are sticking around for ages which is cool! :) and amelia and sarah of course :) maggie the german girl has an au pair job now so lives out with the family so she comes back at the weekends! yay. speak to katie still too even though she is gone. miss her a lot. and of course martha hannah and polly i miss all the times too :) they were the best. so glad i have made great new friends too though.
my healthy eating plan is going well too, feel a lot better and the tan is shaping up nicely because the weather has been fantastic over the last week! my hours at moo are getting really bad, i only have a few here and there... at least i have my design work hours. obviously i can't live or save on that wage so i am having to look else where which is sad... there is a job going at sugar lounge, a cocktail bar for 30-40 hours a week... one of the surfer guys mentioned it to us cos he works there but... he said they are bad with pay, which may be a turn off... :-/ anyway so if the mc saatchi job doesn't work out then at least i know i have options.
got another order for mycoolcv.com as well, she wants two cvs designed which is good :) she is a dietician but wants a normal cv for casual jobs too. the marketing online job i haven't done anything for in a while. i have a few days off so if the weather goes bad then i will have a few days to catch up on everything and actually save!!!
my savings have all gone now cos of buying and spending etc. I may be getting free rent though soon (fingers crossed) because the owner of the hostel has an autistic son they want me to help socialise with everyone and integrate into the group for a few hours a week and i get free rent in return so that sounds great and something that i feel would really benefit him :) so yeah lots going on, i feel so lucky every day that i have the chance to be out here, with people i love, doing design work i love (plus a little waitressing) and in a beautiful surroundings. just wish that i could be with all my friends and family too!!! congratulations by the way to my beautiful cousin laura on her engagement to adam! :) so happy for you both and for olivia :)
mel is coming out here in 5 weeks and i can't believe it!!!!! time flies!!!!!! can't believe i have been here 4 months nearly, i love it, don't want to leave, don't want things to change but don't want things to stay the same either..... haha.
love you all i will keep you updated with the how the job situation goes!!!! its jess's birthday next tuesday so we are going out in the city on saturday night :) should be fun!!!! :)

Lots of things going on!...
Hey guys!
Its been a while since my last post, sorry about that I have been a busy bee over the last week.
We went out at the weekend to The Steyne and that was a pretty messy one, a lot of vodka consumed and not very much sleep. But I have been sleeping in a lot more now which is a bonus! I've been working at Moo doing a lot more design work on top of waitressing hours which means a bit more money and I can obviously start promoting my designs and mycoolcv.com as well. Moo agreed for me to put a promotional mycoolcv.com poster to put in their stores to help promote it too which is good :) I've also been around to a few of the local restaurant and bars in Manly asking them if they need any menus designed so maybe I'll get some more money from that. Also, I really need to start that Online Marketing course but i've been working so much on other things it's sort of gone to the back of my list...
I made a Thai Green Curry for 12 people on Friday night, Ken, my japanese friend made the rice and i made the curry. Everyone paid $5 and really loved it i think. Want to do another big dinner like a roast or something!! We went down to the Surfing competition on Monday as well which is great. It was lovely weather so did some more sun bathing (while the sun is still here!!!) and had a look at the surfing talent. Going to pop down again today I think and I really want to make a t-shirt ''Life is better in...'' and then you add in whatever you want! It's a Billabong thing and everyone writes what they want... like all the bar staff in Shark Bar have t-shirts that say ''life is better in shark bar'' Haha! Don't know what to say on mine...!!!?? Any ideas?! Life is better in Manly, Life is better in a tan...?? Life is better in speedos! Life is better in the buff! Life is better in...
http://www.billabong.com/lifesbetter/
So yeah, just been working, going out and waving people off. Best mate Katie has left and also Jack. Jo, who has been here for over a year has also left... everyone is going up north! But the girls are here in 001 (my room) which is great! :) love my room!! :) Also majorly looking forward to Mel coming out here so we can move onto somewhere else soon as well.
But, saying that, a new girl just moved into our room, one of Jess's friends, and.... She knows someone that works for Mc Saatchi (as in saatchi and saatchi) ... and... I have an interview for an Account Manager position there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely buzzing!!!!!! So even though I am loving the design work at Moo I'm going to go for the interview and see what happens!!! Just imagine though!
http://www.mcsaatchi.com/
Lots of love to all, and happy valentines day as well! The girls and I went out last night to Shark Bar to celebrate but it was a pretty tame one really. Have a few days off now so going to enjoy the sun, go down to the surfing comp, carry on at the gym and surfing and do loads of designing! same as every week. it's on the surfer guys birthdays at the weekend too so i think i may make a chocolate guiness cake for everyone as a birthday treat!

Weekend
Hello all
Managed to get Friday Saturday and Sunday off of work this weekend so even though the weather is crappy i'm trying to get a few people together to do something ... I'm thinking blue mountains saturday and maybe Tarronga zoo on sunday. There are some new french guys which have arrived who are keen for blue mountains so may go with them.. apart from they are going at 6am tomorrow morning and we are all going out tonight.... :-/.... haha. quite a few more people are leaving now and over the next few weeks so its a sad time... hopefully we will get a few more long term-ers staying but because of the bad weather and the lack of casual jobs, there isn't much draw to manly. people usually come here first and then want to stay, but can't because its the beginning of their trip. people always come back to manly though, there is something about it which sticks - a beautiful place :)
Moo is going well, the staff party last night was good we had free beer and wine all night then went out for a few drinks to Boat Shed.
We have karaoke tonight which should be fun! :)
Just a quick update, feeling good, positive, but quite a few people are feeling a bit depressed about the weather and job situation so trying to surround myself with new people who are keen for doing things and being happy and open :)
