First Post.

Ohh.. Hai there!

It's a New Year, 2011.

And, everyone seems to have a Blog; so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon.

Wow, what a year 2010 was.

Started off pretty slow; Had a job at Ikea, over the Christmas/New Year period. Decided that it wasn't for me. Face-to-Face customer service is okay when you're in High School (or in my case, just after High School). 

Got a Full-Time job in Yatala. Which at the time was great; 10 minute drive from home. After a couple of months though, lack of money started to rear its ugly head. 

Queens Birthday Long Weekend came 'round. Decided to go to Melbourne.

        My Plane to Melbourne

I landed in Melbourne; and it was a lovely seven degrees.

Hello Melbourneee!
 

After I palmed my things off.. We went and had some lunch. First time at Groove Train; not a big deal.. But, I was a little excited. (token take pictures of food..)

Lunch.

Pasta, Salad, Burger & Chips and Fish & Chips.
I had the Pasta; which was delicious.

Anyways. After lunch; checked into the Hotel.. Crowne Plaza!

 

Started getting ready to hit 'ol Melbytown up. We went to (I think it's called) The Rooftop Bar.. Had the most amazing cocktail, ever. 

 

"The Samantha Berry"

 

 

And, then.. Mr Amazing met up with us.. Ricardo (a.k.a. Marz) .. First time I met him, I thought he was a bit of a cocky douche.. (who would've known what happened a few months later..)

He showed us 'round.. Took us to Madam Brussels. This cupcake knocked me.. I eat a lot of sweets.. But this.. Pwoah..

 "The Infamous half icing half cupcake"

I cringe just looking at it..

We then moved onto The Casino.. Which was just incredible.. Really.. And that was before The Fire!!

This blew me away.. You could tell I was the tourist.. :-/

The last night I was there.. I took this.. View from the Hotel- Middle of our floor..

Last day in Melbourne; was sad. It was safe to say, I didn't want to leave. We had one last drive around.. Went to St Kilda..

 Luna Park.

I was sitting at Melbourne, Tullamarine Airport. Waiting for my flight back to the Gold Coast. I had agreed with Amy and also Marz that I was going to move down Mid-September.

Needless to say.. I returned less then two months later. As much as I enjoyed Brisbane; all my family are there. It was time for me to move on.

I quit my job. Organised to drive down. It happened within a month. 

Thankfully my parents were supportive. I was most worried about Dad; but he was great. 

The last five months have been amazing. Wait, no. Amazing doesn't even come close to describing it. To be honest.

I'm living on my own. For the first time, ever. I was scared, but I'm loving it. I have a Full-Time job, it's not the greatest job, but it pays my bills, rent and I can support myself. I've met some fantastic/beautiful people; whom have impacted my life, for the better. I've made myself some friends for life down here.

Unfortunately, I have lost some friends in the process. But, I know that it's the course of life.. You win friends and you lose some.

I'm happy right now. 

That's my main concern. I wanted to be a more happier, positive person. And, I am.

Most of all.. I have the most amazing/fantastic/funny/wonderful/beautiful boy, ever. He will hate me for saying this.. Or just be embarrassed.. He has made Melbourne so incredible. If I had ever any doubts about this move.. He has squashed them.. He makes me so insanely happy. I can't imagine my life without him..

He is my World.

:)

Pwoah.

First post, much?

Hahahaha.

I hope I haven't bored anyone too much..

In short..

2010 was good, but 2011.. I can already feel an incredible year coming on.
