Holidays!

07 Jul

Wow, haven’t been here awhile! Although over my holiday I’ve had access to the internet, I just haven’t been arsed writing a blog. I don’t need to put down my thoughts all the time, right?

This past week I’ve been in Hastings visiting my Mum and sister. My sister had school so I didn’t spend much time with her during the day, although she had Friday off, so I shouted her to the movies. We went and saw Shrek 4. It’s not half bad, I mean, as always the first one was better, but this last one wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I won’t even attempt to write about it, because I don’t want to ruin it for anyone!

I didn’t do a shit load on my stay. A lot of the time I just sat and watched TV, went online and played Facebook games1 and just bummed around in general. Now I’m home, with 2.5 days left of my holidays, and IDK what I should do.

As calving is coming up, I should probably get some sleep in! But I really don’t want to. As much as I love sleeping, I would like to go out and.. like my last post said “party”. xD But who with? Issues issues issues.

My boyfriend has made a budget for me. With the amount of money he has put aside to pay off my car.. I should be debt free within a year2. And I do have money left over for myself after my bills and savings. And it is a lot3. Considering I don’t have to buy much food anymore, as dinner is made most nights, and in a few weeks it’ll be every night, I only have to buy breakfast, and now I’m on a diet, healthy snacks etc. I have a separate food / recreation / car budget. So I have basically all my needs covered.

I just have to cut back on the food4 and the amount of money I spend on my phone. My phone is on a monthly plan, and it doesn’t tell me when I’ve run out of texts or call minutes, so if I forget to check.. I go way over how much it should cost monthly. Hopfully this budget he’s made  will cut back on how long I’m debt for, but still allow me to be a teenager when I get the chance5.

For any readers6  here are some questions;

  1. Do you have any debt? Credit cards, loans, student loans etc? I have a loan I used to buy my car, and a credit card, but I manage the credit card easily and pay it off every month if not sooner.
  2. If yes, how long will it take to pay it off? Without Jared’s budget, it’ll take about 3-4 years on the minimum rate I’m paying now.
  3. Do you have spending issues? I like to waste money on food.
  4. Can you afford to pay off your debt faster then your bank wants you too?  Yes, I could maybe even pay it off in 6 months if I didn’t want to have any savings. But instead I am chosing to pay it off over a year, and save money at the same time.

And that is all. xD

Two weeks off.

17 Jun

I’ve been at my new job for only 2 weeks so far, and already I have 2 weeks off. They do it because you cannot take any time off during calving except for the 2days off every 8 days, someone dies, or you are about to die yourself. :P

I am extremely thankful for these 2 weeks off, as my time off from my last job didn’t feel like a “Holiday” because all I did was stress, cry and be angry.

So this month, from the 26th to the 5th, I am visiting my mum & sister in Hastings! I’m really excited! It only cost $68 return to get from Christchurch to Wellington, where my mum will pick me up and drive me to Hastings (Hastings isn’t a main flight center, so it’s expensive to fly to)). This trip is a surprise for my sister, I’m not telling her :P She’ll be so happy to see me. I intend to take her to Shrek4 for her birthday, I may also take her shopping or out for a nice lunch. She’s only 13 so I can’t take her make-up shopping or anything silly like that. Plus, like me, she’s not girlie girl.

I’m still undecided about what to do from the 5th – 10th. I’ve finally gotten Jared to somewhat agree to go to Hanmer Springs, he’s finally got his restricted licence so he can how drive, now all he needs is a car. So if we go up, we’d drive seaperatly. Because his parents like to agree with law. :P

I’ve been wanting to go to Hanmer Springs for the past year1. And this would knock off one of my goals on my last blog. I just need to relax, chill out, and be stress free. It’ll be nice to be with Jared, I know this sounds lame but I still fully wanna cook for him! It’ll be nice to do it in a motel. Then swim in heated pools. Bah. I can’t get to excited, because he may not get a car this weekend. :O/ Fingers crossed.

Btw I’ve started using Pro Active, I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my skin, then again, I don’t have a shit load of pimples. Bah. It feels wrong putting all those chemicals on my face. But I decided I better do something about my skin. I’ll let everyone know how it goes.. It’s not exactly fucking cheap.

The only exception

08 May

The title of this post has nothing to do with what I’m about to post about. Aside from the fact that this song is the only exception to any mainstream songs that I will listen to. I’m not sure why. It’s just a good song. I also refuse to listen to anything else Paramore. Except this song. :P

Anyhow, It would apear that this site of mine is basicly a place to lay down what I’m thinking, which is usually the purpose, but I mean, most other Blog sites have nice, positive and inspiring blog posts. Mine are all negative, horrible, self centered, vain posts. So. Here we go;

Fuck life. Haha. No, just, screw the universe. It keeps throwing bricks at me. While the story is a long one, and I won’t go into debth, lets just say I have no idea where I am living / doing in three weeks. I have three weeks to pack up my shit and decide where I am going. When I say “Throwing bricks” at me, I mean, good things happen, and then something happens to undo what happened, or to make it that much harder.

There is a possiblyity to stay in Blenium, with my mums, dads side of the family. I’ve never meet any of them except my aunty barb. She needs someone there to be with her, she’s in a pensioners flat and struggling, because she’s set in her ways. I want to be the one who is there for her, but, I want to study.1

The thing with study? I need a part time job to pay off my car loan. Student allowence is not enough to pay $111 every fourtnight and rent and food etc. You know how many replies I’ve got from my 100+ job applications? One. No jokes. I’ve had one response. And that was an instant turn down, not even an interview offer. So basicly, if I don’t find a part time job in the next few weeks, I’m off to Blemium. On the dole, (government money) and living with people I don’t know. :tear: My mum says they’re like my Uncle Des, and he’s pretty awesome! I just hope she’s right.

I’m shit scared. Coming to this dairy job, I had the house + job in one. Now I have to find somewhere to live and a job and sort my own shit out. I know my family is there to help, but I don’t like asking for help. I hate to put burdens on people. Because I can’t pay people back. I don’t care if they offer for free, I just don’t like accepting or asking for help. Which is stupid, but I just feel so bad not being able to help myself. And believe me, I’m trying!

I just hope that something does “fall into my lap” like my mum said.

Oh, btw, paying $20 to FIND A JOB on STUDENT JOB SEARCH? Defeats the purpose of FINDING A FUCKING JOB. NZ Government, if you are reading this, I fucking hate you. Bastards. Giving money to lazy shit heads who don’t WANT to work, but you can’t give me a fucking hand while I LOOK for work. Screw you. Screw you hard.
