New Shoes!!

Action speaks louder than words and from my lack of blogging, its like i dont love blogging anymore.

May not mean much but here i am, making sure i blog at least once a month. Last minute but better late than never? =)

Check out my new shoes!!!!

These are the most expensive non-genuine leather, non-boots, made-in-China pair of shoes i have ever bought! Justification: They are suitable for Pole dancing and no one else has them yet. Hahaha! And its also the very first pair of shoes i ever bought online! Wore them today, they bite my big toes but i still love them, they will stretch!

Miss those days where i blog all about my shoes... click here and here.

What have i been up to in July? 

- Started a new term of aerial silks. Its my third term.

- Got back into working on my left and right front splits (i took 1.5months off after moving)

- Got a bit more of the kitchen renovations done. We can finally cook at home! Ohhh!! Thats the kitchen tiles in the background of the picture with my shoes. Sooo pretty! Both the shoes and the floor! Hahaha

- Started a Diploma in Financial Advice with the focus on Self Managed Superannuation Funds =) Its been almost 3 years since i took any exam so why not? Company paid for it too

- Went clubbing. Its not really something i normally do, if you read my blog posts written in University. I am just more comfortable in my own skin. In February Steve and i went clubbing for a friend's birthday and it was pretty good too. Before this year i always avoided clubbing, pleased that i allowed him to take me time =) This time in July he was the one who wanted to go and so clubbing we went.

Impressed Myself

Did Level 5 for the third time.

 

I still need to work on my dance but my tricks are getting better!

 

I was also surprised and really happy when a Canadian blog reader, whom i now call my friend Mrs White featured me in her blog post titled Inspired to Dance. She has also started pole dancing!

A few months ago i also saw a Facebook status asking for volunteers to do a flexibility experiment and i scored myself a spot! I'm featured on Get Flexible!! I am almost there with my splits and need to stop using the move to new house as an excuse! Hahah

Bought a House!

=)

Renovation is hard work. Couple that with 2 months and counting of no internet, equals no blog posts! =(

Bullying

Instead of a picture post tonight, i'll put up my thoughts.

In an anti-bullying campaign on the radio, the DJ said that it is hard for kids these days because when the victim goes home from school, the bullying doesnt end. Bullying continues on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Blogger too, i've had my fair share of flamers.

I had a bit of first hand experience with how bullying can continue online. A and S are grown men who had a falling out. S is my bf, if you didnt instantly guess! Haha!

A had deleted (and blocked?) S from Facebook but not me.

Me being me who almost never deletes anyone, i remained Facebook friends with A.

S posted a picture and tagged J in it. J's gf and i liked the photo. I commented "Boy time. Hahaha".

Few hours later, S tells me i need to delete and block A.

If you know me well, i have never been one to condone relationships where one party dictates who the other can be friends with. However, in this instance, i deleted and blocked A immediately.

S says that A can see the photo because i liked it. He told me that A was swearing in the comments of the photo!!

It got me thinking. How effective is the security settings on Facebook? We are grown adults, yes some adults can be childish, but as adults, S and i are able to not let it affect us too much. But kids, how would they deal with online bullying? It worries me.

Oh, striking resemblance. 8 years ago, my then bf and i fell out with a guy friend with the initial A and gf! Recently, my current bf and i fell out with a friend with the initial A and gf!

That's not where the resemblances end. There is one more striking similarity that i noticed earlier but shall not mention. Other than the fact that both A's are alpha male wannabes...

Back then, 8 years ago, i sobbed and sobbed over the lost friendships. Back then i couldnt understand it and wished for forgiveness. Wished things would go back to the way it was.

This time around, not a single tear shed. Not a single tear shed!

I have grown =)

Sydney 2012

Bought this dress 10minutes before the Forever New shop at Habour Town closes on Boxing Day sales!

Last one, in my size! Its a steal!

Wore it in my Sydney trip and made the boyfriend take pictures for me!

Back in July 2012, at the very beginning of our relationship, Steve said he wanted me to join him and his cousin for a trip to Sydney on New Years Eve. At that point i was so pleased, that he was thinking of me in his future 6 months ahead.

Said yes i'll join them! Now that trip was over 2 months ago! Time flies and flies!

I posted some of these pictures on Facebook and in a comment to the above picture he wrote "Who's that pretty girl?" Awwwww =) 

Stephen and i =)
