Headed to the gym after work today. Was abit iffy about my ankle injury... It was fine to walk on - but i was itching to do some running..

Warmed up on the rower, the bike, then eased into running - my ankle is fine YAY i was able to run i didnt want to over do it so stopped at 20 mins & cooled down & left.

Spent the rest of the afternoon working on Birthday Invites, then went to dinner with some friends :)

Tuesday 12th May 2009

Woke up & my limbs were aching the worst pain possible – my weights sessions last night killed me. After not having done any weights training for over a month, maybe i should of taken it easier with light weights but i went into the same weights that i used the last time i did the class.. killer.

 Another half day – came home, made some lunch, then spent the rest of the afternoon playing scrabble with Annie J No scoring, just straight playing. I want to play more games with her, just to keep her brain stimulated, i’m suggesting books for her to read (she’s not a big fan of reading, but i really want her to just keep her mind busy, let herself get carried away into a book, so her days aren’t dragged too long)

 She has school on Monday, Wed & Fridays from 1-3pm - & other days she stays at home. I might go rent some movies this week – i love watching movies from the last decade – they are so much better then the ones that are coming out these days at the movies. Ah- my gf Wensy gave me some vouchers to use, one of them is $9.50 Dendy movie tix – baby lets go!!

Phew!!

We played an undefeated team tonight @ touch, & we lost by ONE point! We did well considering their ranking in the comp - i fell, did a 360 roll, & rolled my ankle - ouch! I was aided off the field .. so bad !! I was sprinting for a touch, when the guy did a direction change & bam we collided & a tripped on his foot.

Ann had come only minutes before (she was late, was only going to spectate), so we swapped clothes & she took my place - luckily - because we would have been down a player..

Thanks Trang for the vegetarian Lasagne!!!!! It was yummy - it was really thoughtful of you girlfriend :)

Sunday 10th May 2009


Was up at 2am to help Rick & his bro push a car from Regents Park station to home (approx. 2kms). 4 uphills, 5 guys & a steerer (thats me!haha).

Got back for 2 hours of sleep & then was up again for a run around iron cove, then breakkie @ Glebe :)

Spent the rest of the day watching the Hills (so addictive, never ever thought i'd be into these types of shows) Rick thinks its stupid & pointless.. HEY! I don't give you crap about your anime babe =P

Oh, i bought flowers for mom! & set up these photocards in her room. Polaroids of every family member, all in a row. A reminder that we all love her dearly & will always be around.

My net was capped a week ago, it sucks to have extra slow net !! I can't upload any photo's to flickr, i am blogging at home & uploading at work - this sux & i don't get my normal speed back until the 15th booo :(

I start my OTEN Fitness course tomorrow, how will i get online this week ??? My boss has offered me half days on MOn, Tues & Wed so yay :) Yay to gymming after work, & more time to study.



Saturday 9th May 2009


Went for an early morning bike ride with Rick, Ann, Jeremy & Ants this morning, we rode for about 2 hours in total, our ears almost froze up, i lost one of my 18 breadrolls (it bounced out of my basket) & Jeremy fell of his bike (i think that will bruise..!!)

Got back real early, to help out with Annies Birthday Party !! All her school friends came, plus a few other people, some of my friends, it was a full house!

WHile the kiddies stayed out in the living room playing Singstar (thank you Julie & Sam for lending your PS2&3 tonight!!), us grown ups played monopoly hehe. Julie was the first to get out of the game, i followed shortly, Ann Sam & Rick ended up playing for about 3 hours in
total - Rick won booooo he always wins!!

When i play games, i play for the fun of it i don't play competitively, at all, which is why sometimes its so frustrating playing things with Rick :( He just wants to win & take all your
money..

Another week gone by, weekend has started :)

I had plans to drive up to Marrickville with Rick to get a Birthday cake for Annie - but change of plans - Rick went on his own instead.

I stayed home with Annie, watched television, Friday night movie was -The Terminal - featuring TOm Hanks. A Man stuck in the U.S airport terminal because his country's government had been suspended due to a political coue. Thus making his visa suspended, until his country was reclassified & a new visa would be made. He was stuck in the terminal for 9 mths !! The movie was alright, i was only watching it because nothing else was on (except da footy, but Annie thinks tv Sports is boring hehe..)

It was a full moon so i shot this after dinner - the moon lit up the streets, its amazing how dark it is when the full is only a crescent. I remember when i went for a bondi sunrise shoot - i saw both the Sun & the moon at the same time

Auburn settling in, another 2 mths till winter & im dreading it!! This tree blossoms beautifully in spring, half of it white & the other half pink its amazing, i wonder if i have taken a photo of it before??

Monday 4th May 2009


Got my Fuji Instax WIde film in the post today - rushed home to try out Mr Fuji - he works! Me likey!! The film is so much cheaper then Polaroid film (i can get 10 shots for $10 instead of 10 shots for $30). Although the camera is really massively heavy & ugly.. haha

We were short one gal tonight @ TOuch - it was just me & Jody rollin with 3 boys + subs. & we won!! 11 - 4 - we smashed em :) I dove for an opponent, ended up rolling 360 degrees and getting grass burns on my elbow & knees - but it was fun! I really gotta practise my diving.

Sunday 3rd May 2009


Watched Wolverine in gold class tonight with Julie & Sam (they were gold class first timers hehe). The movie is AWESOME i highly recommend i!t!! I want to download x-men 1, 2 & 3 now - i really forgot what happened in them.

Had to walk through westfields from the carpark to the movie complex, and saw these tags hanging from the ceiling - looked so cool! Annie would totally love this ! (shes a brand type of gal she's got tags stuck on her wall & stuff)

Saturday 2nd May 2009


Got together with the gang minus Julie for some bike riding. Did a course to: Fairfield City Farm, To the T-way, To the markets for some food, then back home all up about 2 hours - fun fun fun! Fairfield City Farm has a really nice bike track, with massive hills (fun going down but a bitch to get up haha)

Anita the first timer - you did well babes!! Ann took a nasty tumble down some dirt & sticks, ended up with some majorly ugly bruising :(

LOVED biking with everyone, hoping to make this a weekly thing!! Alongside running aswell. Trying to keep as active as i can on weekends to balance out all the eating i do - i just let go so badly on weekends i really cant help myself weekends is for having fun and relaxing and eating yummy foods :)

Friday 1st May 2009


Took a day off today, headed to the gym for some running. Very unmotivating running indoors, but i didn't want to run in the sun..

Took Annie out today for a movie & shopping :) We watched 17 Again, SUCH a good movie i LOVEd it~ Zac Effron is a cutie!! Annie had a blast we pigged out on popcorn and doritos, it was just us sisters my parents were running errands. We all got together after for some shopping afterwards.. and got Annie some new clothes for school, pj's, & bits & pieces pretty much anything she wants because she deserves it!

Headed to the comedy store tonight to see Tony Woods - go youtube this guy he is pretty funny!!

Ended the night with some nibbles at the Four Seasons Hotel - definitely coming back here again for Dinner!! The place is beautiful, classy, they play really nice live piano music, and the service is excellent too - thanks Ann!! :)


Thursday 30th April 2009



Went out to dinner with Rick tonight, he found a restaurant in Rozelle called Harvest that serves vegetarian only food. It was pretty much in the middle of nowhere, the only restaurant on a whole street of apartments/flats. Its a small place, i think only two people were running the restaurant tonight, but there was just us, another couple, and a group of 4, not too busy. My camera battery died (just my luck) so no piccies or food review, we'll just have to come back again :)

Wednesday 29th April 2009


Got these shoe box things at Ikea on the weekend, cleaned up the top of my shelf, it looks much neater now :) I really should of taken a before picture..

Tuesday 28th April 2009


mom bought a bunch of avocados, so i made some toast & eggs, spread the avo onto my toast, sprinkled with cracked pepper & lime juice - yummy!! Similar to what we had at the Cove (http://bettysbites.blogspot.com/2009/04/cove.html) but not as nice (i need sum sour dough bread hehe). I'm really trying to eat more smaller meals during the day thats the only thing that works in trying to lose weight because i notice if i eat larger meals throughout the day my metabolism goes down. So this week i'm going to buy some yogurt, fruits, vegies, cutting out on sugar/processed foods/oils as much as i can.

Monday 27th April 2009


My shoe broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so not lookin forward to spending money on another pair :( & i really have to cos city2surf is coming up in August - i wanna wear my new shoes in before doing the run so i dont get blisters or anything. Might get a pair of asics even though they're exxy but they last & are designed for runners.

I think i spent more money of gym gear & clothes than i do with going out clothes - i'm sooo much more comfy in my sport shorts & singlet (i gained weight, can't fit into my skinny jeans no more noooo).. been wearing skirts & stuff, loose clothing, and with winter coming up its gonna be even more harder to lose the weight >.<
