Just like to say that i can't wait for 2008 to be over. I'm MAJORLY looking forward to a new year, new starts, meeting new people and for things to be different.
New years resolution? To keep true to myself, because there were times where i found myself turning into someone i didn't want to be. 2009, i'm gonna speak my mind, do what i want and get to where i want to be. No more bullshit.
I hope everyone has an awesome new year ! :)

Boxing day madness!
Haha today... Oh my goodness.. Work could not have been more hectic.
Customers swarmed the place. I was beggining to think the television section had turned into a market! Seriously, it was that bad.
Along with the crowd, by chance i spotted my dad, brother and cousin come into the shop. My dad wanted to buy a 40" Sony television for our living room, so obviously getting that sorted was my priority.
I go around looking for a manager to discount it for him. In this busy time, as you can imagine, this wasn't the easiest of tasks. Anyways, eventually i managed to grab one of my line managers - literally, and asked if i could use him for a second.
Him, in a festive mood and unaware it was my dad who we were walking and talking to shouted around to the other guys 'Did you hear that lads, she wants to use me!'.
Me: 'Raj, meet my dad'. His face = PRICELESS. He actually started choking on the sweet he was sucking out of shock and embaressment. Fucking brilliant! XD

Christmas Fun
Hi all!
Today, on christmas eve.. like ya do, i did all my last minute christmas shopping.
I say shopping, but this was more of a crazy spree of some sort. I bumped into a handful of friends from my old college, saw a few old faces and also spotted Chico from X-Factor in Enfield Town.
On the way home i got convinced to hijack a bollard - like ya do. So, after no thought atall we threw it in the boot of the car so now i have one of those to customise XD
If you asked me yesterday if i was looking forward to christmas, i would've said no (which i did to a close friend) but now i am, because there are lots of new opportunities, and a new year = a new start :) Bring on 2009!
Happy Christmas everyone! :)
P.s to the chav that was playing loud music in the tesco traffic jam, i think my mmmbop prevailed! Haha. Sucker.

Cutting the ropes.
What can i say? Im upset, hurt.. and most of all i feel let down. I just feel stupid for thinking things could be different. I'm not one for expressing when i'm upset, but this song pretty much sums it up.

A series of unfortunate events
So, here i am - home alone.
I somehow always get the place to myself when nothing's happening >:(
My cats are ripping shreds out of eachother and i'm sitting on my bed thinking over the eventful day i've had.
I set my alarm for 6:00am this morning, woke up, then went back to sleep for another hour - my usual routine. Except, this time i was having a deep dreaming session and never woke up 'till 8:30 (i had to be at work by 9) So i literally jumped out of my bed and got ready in like 10 minutes (personal best), skipped breakfast and ran out of the door, racing like a speed cat to get to electrical heaven.
That was okay, i managed to get into work on time without running over any pedestrians, however, I later went into the womens' toilets at work this afternoon only to discover the economy handwash was playing up, so i pushed down on it, but nothing was coming out, so i tried once more for luck and ended up spraying (thick) white hand wash over the crutch of my black trousers. Fucking great! You can imagine what that looked like, and it was a bugger to clean!
I also nearly ended up fainting whilst on shop floor due to not eating since the evening before and had been running around the shop (literally) from 9-5. Witnessing a customer nearly walk into the window thinking it was the door also added to the lightheadedness. Gave me a bit of a headrush XD
And now, to top it all off, there's some whining cat outside in my road, i can't see the thing but it can miaw for Britain. I love cats and all, but this is just taking liberties XD
& for the record Bex, it's totally over. I couldn't care less about y'know what :) I'm better without. Thanks for being an amazing friend. Don't know what i'd do without ya!

Whatever.
This is one of those days where i'm feeling so friggin' confused.. I mean, how would you feel if a group of people had already judged you before meeting you? Especially if you've changed since anyways. It's just a piss take..
We all make judgements on people, it's a part of life. Yeah fair play, but it isn't fair when the one who's telling these people is someone close and what's being told is negative. I couldn't give a damn really what they think, it's just the principal of it. I'm here, talk to me. Not people who don't know me from their elbow! It's none of their business. I'm sick of people pushing me that little bit further each time assuming i'll be cool with it.
How's that for airing out my opinion?
Nice isn't it..?
Well I sure feel alot better.

If you wanna be the teacher's pet, then baby you just better forget it!
Today at my placement the children were singing 'Holy night', but not your traditional version - instead a slightly more modern version by 'AJ & Aly' two sisters who's debut track was 'Potential break-up song' quite a while back..
They sang it suprisingly well, but i know for sure when i have my own class they're all gonna be dressed up in funky ties and school uniform and learn 'Teacher's pet' from the movie 'School of Rock'. Going to mould them into a class of mini rockers & hopefully limit the number of chavs in London during the process XD

Mirror.
G'evening blog readers,
Damn.. Feels like ages since i've posted on here.. Just been so absorbed in other things lately, that it hasn't come to my attention to update on here, but nonetheless, Mia is back :)
Laying in bed, looking out of the window with a view of the night got me thinking about stuff.
Alot of things have changed in my life recently, from small things such as completely re-arranging my room around to things such as changes in my overall approach to life and the people around me. It's hard to explain exactly how i feel, because to be honest, it's ever-changing, but all i know is that things are different now.
When i get moments to myself i think about everything and what my priorites were in the past and how i dealt with things. One thing i realised is that i put myself down an awful lot, still do sometimes, be it due to bad experiences or whatever. Years ago i used to be the girl that wouldn't let anything bother her, had that no-nonsense attitude, y'know? Then with time it got pushed below the surface and things changed like everything does, and yeah, it's to be expected. Things change, it's just dealing with it that's sometimes the difficult part to comprehend.
I used to wonder how i went from being so strong and focused to a girl who was constantly unsure of what she wanted in most major aspects of life. I write in past tense as this is no longer the case. Thank God (or Allah if you prefer). Now it's a case of doing what i want, and not letting peoples' opinions affect my decisions, because at the end of the day we all get choices in life, and they're individual. A sheep is not what i want to be, really.
Also, I don't know what the hell's happening to me lately, but i find myself becoming more daring and adventurous with certain things.. I seem to be saying and doing things that i wouldn't have thought to even attempt, and it seems to have positive effects. I now look forwards instead of taking steps back, and laugh instead of sit there in silence.
[Kill your doubt with the coldest of weapons - confidence]
I miss my close friends who are away at uni :( Can't wait to see them soon. The thing that's amazing is that we can go for several months without catching up, then when we do meet up, we're still as close as ever, just with a hell of alot more to talk about! :) Same goes for that special one that makes me smile, and walks in when the world walks out. Not many people have the ability to keep me on the right track, calm me down when i'm mad, or make awesome chicken pasta salad, so thank you for that :) x
