Twenty seven years old, business background for schooling /tech level, but accidentally got into academic administration at a tertiary institution and been stuck doing that since 2002. It wasn’t a complete waste of time as it gave me insights into many opportunities and gave me lots of experience – but the challenge is no longer and the passion just simply does not lie there any more.
For a while now, I frequented live gigs, Checking out artists perform their music live, I was taking pictures of artists, informing people of their gigs on various social networking websites, just always staying on top of happenings in the music industry. Even after the gig, I’d write up a review sometimes, upload my pictures, link it to the event that was created etc.
I even went to extent of learning bbcode to be able to update the biography’s on last.fm (wasn’t that hard).
Gradually this became my passion and people started recognising it and showing an interest in the promo type work that it is I was doing (apparently it’s called specialist marketing according to Paul).
I started looking into the possibility of actually doing this as a career and most importantly, I wanted to be able to survive and maintain myself still, if I were to resign from the admin position.
Thing that probably made me stay on in the interim, is my fear that the industry was small which meant little room for entering into it and that the artists needing the exposure wouldn’t have the money to pay me to do their promos. So I paused the resignation and just barely sticking out the stress, overload of work, and really trying hard to actually get the oomph to wake up in the morning to go to that place. › Continue reading

The world is filled with so many convincing, lying, story-telling, false people! Today was yet another reminder of how wary one should be of those who claim to be your friend, they act nice and behind your back, they talk crap about you.
Shame on my landlord’s husband for convincing her that I lost my keys and that he lent his to me. I have two sets of keys and two remote controls since the day I moved in here back in 2003.
So I rock up at their house as I was asked to go see them to check out the new lease and to swap remote controls but I just thought they needed my remote specifically as the remote has four buttons. She also mentioned in her email to me that they were short of one remote which led me to believe that they definitely needed a spare one to open and close the garage. I only use two of the buttons but the other two could possibly be linked to the garage for them to use.
Get there, and I am suddenly attacked › Continue reading

If there’s one household chore that is my pet hate, it’s doing the dishes.
I was chatting to a friend on-line telling him about how I spent most of my Saturday washing up my dishes; I have already washed up three racks of dishes and there’s still more!!! also dried up those three racks full of dishes and packed it away. *proud moment*
Thank goodness it rained today, else I would have been out again and again not done the dishes. Or maybe it rained because I done the dishes?

My first ever contract mobile phone … *daydreaming* . . . ah yes!
October 2007, I will never forget the day I saw my ex with this exact phone and me saying “Aw it’s cute, I also want that” .. SUCKER! Cause two weeks after signing, I already hated the damn phone but it was too late.
As the two year contractual period draws to a close, so too does the functionality that was once, in this Samsung D900i , pesty piece of telephonic device, that I SO despise. *excuse the anger*
