Have a break, Have a Picture

I just want to break up the whole post being about money....

So here is a picture : )

$10.75

Well, as i was putting the finishing touches on my assignment i then decided to have a shower....i thought, i have time...as it approached 12 o'clock...as i got out and dressed at 12 exaclty....it suddenly dawned on me that my lecture actually started at 12:30pm instead of a later time which i was thinking of....don't ask me why i was thinking of a different time...maybe cause my thursday lecture starts at 1pm...

Anyway, i had to get dressed quickly and chuck the things i needed into my bag (making sure i had my big assignment with me!) and walked out the door, hailed the first cab i found and got in...

He started for the cross city tunnel...i said for him to go along william street (no toll) but he said that there had been a big crash on william street and he told me all the details...( i believed him...he said he had come from there not long ago...) so we went and got there well...only 8 dollars something...then he pushed for the toll...$10.75 ( if i remember rightly) i paid and went out and got there on time to hand my assignment in...

so out of my $20 dollar budget i have spent

$10.75

and i haven't even got my crisp note out of the bank. The rest of the week may be hard...especially with mothers day coming up but i don't think i will count that..i will have to eat at home...and watch what i spend...my aim is to when i get paid after thursday...to have money which to add the new pay too...

I was wondering whether to include this little slip in my count of $20 but i thought if i don't...then i wont with anything else..
I think this will be a learning experience...i mnight go over this week..but then i can try and do better next week...

Anyway...blogging out... :p

These ones are enjoyable for everyone...

oh, i'll just have lunch then i'll start
oh, i'll just watch the start of las vegas on tele, (i'm still watching it!!!)
oh i'll just have a shower then really get stuck into it!

I really need to get stuck into it!!! I'm finding it so hard!

But then again, one way or another, its going to be done by tomorrow.

The Eleventh Hour

Well, at the eleventh hour, as i file through a couple of the blogs on the list...no one has really updated!!! I thought i would be the first. Today was ok, i was more than exhursted when i got home after work, heaps of people leaving and coming in..(something like 200...something). So i had a little sleep when i got home. Tomorrow i have to get a huge assignment to be done for tuesday afternoon, hopefully between now and then i get a good rest tonight, wake up well tomorrow and get it all done...hoping to head to the gym as well. So in interest of getting a good night sleep....i will close with Goodnight all...

Tiresome people

What is it with Saturdays that everyone is too tired to blog...including me...worked today, had to get back in the swing of it...it was a good day, back is hurting a little but taken some panadol, hopefull it will be better...oh and i think someone was filming something next to work..in martin place...how exciting...or not...

anyway...hopefully more tomorrow, even though i have a huge assigment due on tuesday next week..hopefully i can finsh it all monday.

2nd day and I am on form

Thats right, before anyone had to remind me, i have made my second post, you could say i am at the second mark/post of the race.....

Or not...

Anyway, Its friday...and for the first time in a while, i think i am excitied, thinking of going out, maybe to a movie, spending some time doing some fun things, going to go to the gym which jess and i joined recently and feel better i think. God is still there, or rather i'm back talking to him properly instead of letting him dissapaite (or so it sometimes seems) when i hang up the prayer phone...He's still there michael! Its not a phone. I went to KYCKstart (know as KYCK now...) 08 which was great, i have grown out of it, but thats ok, i'm moving on...just caught the bus to grown-up ville...God's sitting next to me on the seat :p However, it was still useful because they were reading out of the bible which was written by an unchanging and steady God........

(dear andrew, my brain keeps telling me to appologise that i have yet to reply to your email, i'm sorry...i will get to it soon i hope, unless blogging takes too long, i will do my best to reply, thanks for your great email. Sorry for taking so long to reply)

......so i still learn't lots from it, bought some bible study books called the 'Daily Reading Bible' put out by 'matthiasmedia', it is going well to be reading the bible, letting God talk to me, almost everyday.

I am off to the gym, so until the next time...ie....tomorrow :p happy blogging...unless your not in the comp...then happy...reading...

God Bless

And so it starts

Well, the blog a day for the month of may is underway...bang there is the starters gun.

recently, i have gone forward two steps and maybe back 5. but i think now i am moving forward a bit more carefully. I am trying to find balance in my life, to balance areas or fitness, intellectual areas, emotional areas and my spiritual life (with the spiritual life being the main one and also letting that take over the others as well) i find that God is giving me more of a power to discern what i read and see and relate it to the truth i have read in the bible. i think more often study of the bible has been to key...pursuing the peace of God.

I still think that i might work in the observatory hotel, but i think i have to stay there, to see whether i want to work there or just enjoy it as a hotel :P (thats the front in the pic)

So...here we go

Do you ever keep looking at your profile just so that it adds to the counter making it look like more people look at it on the web....i don't....much

Blog a day for the month of may

Can't blog....saving up for month... :p

Orient-Express Hotels...Fastly becoming my favourite company I think

A new update, just for Andrew :p and others of course.

Well yes Andrew, it has been a while since i have updated. It has been rather busy trying to work out work timings and also uni timings and the two together.
It recent times, since the last blog, i have been busy growing, well God has been busily growing me! In more than just work or uni or church but all aspects of my life. I have settled a bit since my junior years, with alot of the credit going to (always God) but his gift of the beautiful Jess. He continues to teach me alot about life, his love for me and what love is and all that sort of thing through her. So that helps me feel more steady in this wierd world, more calm and confident, more relaxed and not as worried, sometimes anyway, sometimes it does get overwhelming still but i feel i'm on my way.

The change is probably threefold....or maybe more

1. i feel myself growing in how in how i study
i feel that i am getting into habits of actually doing great work, like summarising the big picture with the little parts instead of approaching the whole thing and going through it one at a time...i mean instaed of reading a chapter and just summarising it all which is a huge job, setting myself to summarise the chapter objectives using the txt so that my summarising is guided and not just unscripted so to speak. so i find this is getting better, i'm learning (in all these areas) to focus on one thing at a time and not put as much pressure to read everyword of the readings (as much as i want to) so that i have the general gist for the lecture and making smaller bight sized chunks. i feel god is helping me with this all. (ps from the spell check that blogger has nicely put in, i have learnt that i can't spell summarising) (still, i had to change that one there too!)
2. i feel myself growing in the way that i approach life
i feel, again, that i am moving to try and grasp one thing at a time (as much as i can) i have always been one to see something, like all the desirable things to learn from the bible and from uni lectures and gone...i want it all......NOW! so i try and take it in but i can't and get frustrated and leave it and then get another burst later down the line, do a bit then stop in frustration. when i focus on the one thing at a time i have enough time to it feels better, but i think that is probably also cause god is giving me the peace to be able to focus on it. i wonder sometimes why he didn't do this earlier but it has worked out well! (well duh, he was planning it!)
3. i feel myself growing in how i approach church and such areas
i am trying also to become less lazy, and take some advise from nike and "just do it" i do tend to think a lot about things before i do them (thanks jess for helping me think about it :) ) so i am trying as hard as i can to just do things, don't think that things will take up so much time and not wanting to start, just getting on with it a bit and go, now i'm going to do this. i am trying to in my spare time, instead of just fliking on the tv and laying there and it bringing out the couch potato in me, to read my book 'What's so amazing about grace' (which has been great at instigating alot of these changes) and just read a chapter, trying to cut myself off when i say that i want to watch tele and jsut to start reading.....i usually feel better when i do! but i haven't been doing that alot lately so i need to get back into it! and i feel like saying that this year cause i'm doing business and management subjects i keep looking at service and how businesses are run and what makes them good/bad and the marketing points etc. last year it was sitting on the bus watching people's non verbal and verbal communication!!!


Oh and i have a new favourite company....like when i found hayman and putting pics on my computer of it....not at that stage yet but i have found that company Orient-Express Hotels Trains and Cruises which i just find really cool. as much as i was having some trouble with motivation at westin, i feel that God was helping me now realise that i couldn't have gone straight into my prefered company after coming back from Hayman, i needed to learn about city hotels and get to know the company instead of trying to do it all realy quickly when i got back. anyway, i think it is really cool and i have heaps of time to explore it and see if it is viable. the two hotels in australia are The Observatory Hotel in Sydney and Lillianfells guest house in the blue mountains. check them out :p

I think that is all for the moment...no, i take that back, that is all i can remember for the moment and there is surely much, much more.
