#112: 30/9/10 The Other Guys
Caught a movie with Rob tonight; The Other Guys.
The humour reminded me of The Hangover; although I did find the movie hilarious, the humour seemed more directed towards you boys.
Will Ferrell however, will always be funny regardless of the target audience :) [<3 Stepbrothers]
And just to finish off…
…here’s a clip of one of the...
#111: Be Thankful
If you archive back, back, back, back all the way to Friday 2nd October 2009… I said I wanted to do something fun, random, nice or different etc at least once a week so I never forget that “the world is a playground” uhuh-uhuh
Well! Here’s my nice thing to you for the week. It’s something I read today which made me realise I have a lot to be happy for, hope it does...
#110: 24/9/10 Moody's 21st
Moody, one of the nicest most genuine people I know, held his 21st birthday party last weekend. His Mum organised everything from the food, to the decorations and she even had the time to share an interesting story of him as a one year old… which I won’t repeat because I’m in a good mood at the moment (due to the really nice weather today which was a lovely surprise as I walked...
#109: 19/9/10 Sorcerer's Apprentice
Rob, Hannah, Ryan, Kelly and I went to the movies to watch The Sorcerer’s Apprentice today. We all really enjoyed it :) I highly recommend this movie, especially if you’re a Nicholas Cage fan. His goal was to make kids of all ages (yes that does include us) laugh and he definitely achieved this goal. A really good one for the school holidays :)
You can get the plot summary here. :)

#108: 18/9/10 Vicki's 21st
Yet another 21st at The Winchester, by now you should all know and gather the facts that:
1. This is the (my) year for 21sts 2. The Winchester is a popular/therefore must be good venue
This weekend was Vicki’s weekend to celebrate and she did it in ultimate grace in her amazing backless dress (I’m in love with backless at the moment) unfortunately I do not currently have a photo...

#107: 16/9/10 The Snow Queen
Couldn’t be more proud of these kids! (Espesh Hannah who played a Courtier :))
Know a few of the kidletts in this production at Alfriston School. Prefered this years show over last years for sure; the jokes just seemed to appeal to a wider age gap this year, suppose it’s because the kids too have grown over the past year.
Anyway, fantastic job! Really good show :) A pity if you...
#106: 11/9/10 Prize Giving + Robs 21st Part II
Hannah and her soccer team had their prize giving today. Ryan and I tagged along with Rob and Hannah. Ryan and I sat in the audience for what seemed like hours while all the kids got their certificates and trophies. I did get a little bored, especially after Hannah and Robs team got their awards, but Ryan got even more fidgety, so we pulled out the camera and took photos to kill time (he’s...
#104: 9/9/10 My new charm :-)
Before heading over to Garrisons for a drink, Rob got me a new charm for my bracelet as a sign of thanks and appreciation :) ! (second from the left) :D:D:D
#105: 10/9/10 Girly Night
My good friend Rebecca and I decided to have a girly catch up and go to Garrisons for a drink tonight. Only, when I hang with her, she can sometimes be a bad influence and tempt me into going shopping… so of course we went and browsed… and I spent…. and I’m broke…… yet again……….. :P
After our shop we headed over for our drinks and a good old...
#103: 4/9/10 Party All The Time
After all the preparation and stressing the time finally came to just relax and party! We celebrated Robs party with his other friends at Chicane Bar a couple of weekends ago. It was a successful night and he really enjoyed himself.
I had written out my speech (and memorised it), skulled down a glass of wine before heading up to say it. I made no mistakes and was told it was a pretty good...
#102: 1/9/10 Rob joins The (21) Club~!
I think it’s fair to say I was more excited about his birthday than he was. Not just because it was his birthday and there were lots of presents to watch him open and an amazing dinner to look forward to, but also because I could not wait to see his reaction for the present I got him.
If you remember back to my 21st, Rob decided it would be funny to trick me with a fake gold bangle; read...
#101: 27/8/10 Kaushik's 21st and Bad Encounters
One of our mates Kaushik recently celebrated his 21st at Home Bar last month. I decided to take my good friend Celeste along with me. The venue was particularly easy to find …with the help of the GPS; I used it while walking too… it sounds (and looked) pretty dorky I know, so I made the effort to hide it in my bag :P.
We arrived to be greeted by the lovely doorman, who a lot of the...

#100!!!!!!!!!!!!! 22/8/10 Grace's (& Dannys) High...
The lovely parents to be!
Wow! We’ve reached 100 guys, let me fish through the archives to find out when I first blogged….
…this will actually take a lot longer than I thought, my internet is slow at the moment. In the mean time I shall blog away.
I am so glad my hundredth blog is about Grace’s baby shower. 1. Because it was a great day and 2. Because I put so much time...
#99: 21/8/10 So many parties!
This is seriously the busiest weekend I’ve had in a long time with literally no time to spare. It was the weekend of preparing for a baby shower I was helping a friend host as well as two 21sts to attend.
The first 21st party we went to was Katies’. Rob and I were running late because I was too busy doing other things for tomorrow to take notice of the time :-( it also didn’t...
#98: 18/8/10 -20/8/10 What a Celly Week :-)
Quick intro; saw 2 of my lovely besties this week, had coffee earlier on with Cell, chilled out and then dinner at Broncos (this is over a week, not a day). Then threw in some Rob time into the mixture and then hung out with Cell again :)
So, lets start off with the best news of my week…
I PASSED PRAXIS!!!!!!!!!
Never again do I have to go through this nerve-racking situation! And...
#97: 14/8/10 Things to do, people to see
Busy, busy buzzy bee kind of a day! Didn’t help that I slept in and lost some daylight… but it’s ok, that’s what the weekend is for, isn’t it?
Caught up with my lovely friend Cheryl today, we went to The Coffee Club; ultimate chilled-out, laid back kind of place - make THE BEST brownies ..apart from mine of course! :P I had an amzing time with this lady,...

#96: 13/8/10 Ev's 21st
Woot!!..-y Tooty, yet another party at The Winchester, this place is pretty popular. A few more parties till the end of the year here!
It was safe to say Ev was already having a great time by the time we arrived. He was dancing all over the place and having a blast. His cake looked amazing too and very fitting I might add :)
Met and made some lovely new friends and caught up with already...
#95: 12/8/10 Bowling!
Rob took me out to Burger Fuel for some dinner tonight and it was nomnomnommy as always :) I have been going through a Chook Royale phase lately; the combination of aioli, grilled chicken breast, crispy iceberg lettuce, tomato sauce and grilled pineapple complement each other so well :)
After our satisfying meal we headed over to Manukau Tenpin for a couple of matches. I won the first round...
#94: 8/8/10 Brian turns 6
Quick post! Had a pretty relaxing day today, slept in, had Maccas bought for me and had that in bed :P yummmmm. Went shopping with Rob for a birthday present for my youngest brother, Brian, then picked up some pizza while Binh and his lady Lisa picked up the K-Fry. Went home to eat then back to Robs for a funny movie; Did you hear about the Morgans? Yep, pretty much didn’t have one home made...
#93: 7/8/10 Ashleys 21st
Ashley is one of the nicest girls I know, we went to highschool together and are now also doing the same degree; Medical Imaging in case you forgot…
She had her 21st not too long ago at her lovely abode and danced the night away to some really good and pretty intense music, so intense in fact, that she ended up getting tripped over and injuring her ankle! And I think it was to the chicken...
#92: 6/8/10 Easy Way
So… had praxis today. Never do I want to go through that again :( I’ve never been so nervous in my life!! I think I did well, but not sure how well to predict whether or not I’d pass.
At the end of the day, a few friends and I headed to Easy Way for a drink and some social bantering and various other things. Good way to end the long day I say, now just to wait for the...
#91: 5/8/10 A Wine to Unwind
It’s the night before praxis, I’ve been nervous, anxious, sick and tired all week. So whats a girl in my situation to do? Stay home and rack my brains out? Or be taken out to a lovely meal by my awesome BFF, Rob? The latter of course :) I was treated to a nice dinner to unwind before I went through the most nerve racking part of my course over the past three years.
Where:...
#90: 1/8/10 Chillin' with Rob :-)
We finished watching the second season of The Pick Up Artist this morning (the link is to the first season). It’s basically a show about men who are ‘unsucessful’ with women e.g. have trouble talking to/dating/kissing etc. these men get taken under the wing of a ‘seduction artist’; Mystery (along with his wingman Matador and wingwoman Tara).
Each week they get...
#89: 31/7/10 Shani's Vintage Cinema 21st
So a lovely lady had her 21st tonight. Her name is Shani and I’ve only met her this year but you only need to meet her once to know she’s a beautiful and kind friend to have :) She held her 21st at Chicane Bar in Ponsonby and the theme was Vintage Cinema.
Think:

She looked absolutely foxy in her flapper dress but hey! She always looks great in...
