#15 InFATuation

This is a little tribute to my new favourite American reality TV show, 'The Biggest Loser-Families", do you like how I made the title "inFATuation" just a little bit of pun action going on! Owww I'm so creative:P. We're a bit behind on the show here in New Zealand. I am currently locking my eyes onto season 6, and America is currently following season 9 so, yes, I guess thats the penalty for living in good ol' Aotearoa. Anywho, some people may think I'm a little crazy for following the show, they probably think I enjoy watching some chubb chubbs straining themselves and running around until their heads pop. I actually don't find that amusing, more like AMAZING. I just can't wrap my head around how these morbidly obese people can motivate themselves to go for a jog, especially on national television- GLOBAL TELEVISION. I can't even run around the block without stopping whenever a car zooms by 'cause I find it embarassing as I have implemented the belief in my head that I'm a really shocking runner. What they are doing for themselves is truly brave. Kudos to them! It's also SO great to see their transformations from being their old selves to these babes that waltz in for the finale. The kids on this show are some good looking people, being pretty or handsome when you're fat is one thing. Imagine how good they look after losing.. I don't know- something like 100POUNDS. holy crap, its insane!- I just pray to God that they don't put it back on. The only downside to this show is that you become so involved in it that you don't bother going for a run, No Way! 'The Biggest Loser' is on, just watching them makes you feel like you've gone for a hike :P. Another 'con' is that you watch these huge people shed the fat until they become even smaller than you and that makes you feel a little stink- not that I don't want them to be skinny and healthy, I just don't want to be bigger than them - if you get what I mean? they used to be huge right!? I really can't get over how they do it every week. Being Chloe, I couldn't help myself, Yes, thats right.. I wikipedia'd the results -____-, kill joy ay! Oh well, the person I wanted to win did so I guess that makes my bad doings redeemable.
LOOK AT HOW STUNNING SHE IS BEFORE AND AFTER!

#14 VENT!

It's been a tough week, from the relatable words from punkrock group- Blink 182, 'work sucks, I know'; too true. I guess wherever I go, there will always be that one person who thinks its amusing to make your day miserable. As if I'm not busy enough already, the person who shall not be named feels she has to dump her load onto me, according to her-"Theres not enough trays..Bwhackblahblah" when in reality. I'm not the dish washer. SHE IS. I do it with a smile on my face. Mother insists that I put on a calm exterior even though I'm burning up on the inside; maybe a smile is too generous- smiling through clenched teeth; more like. I'm fully doing her a favour, then to complain? Theres only so much of the line that you can cross, she's built a house over the stupid line. What makes it worse, is that when the boss comes 'round to say Kia Ora, she acts like a timid mouse and does her job, LIKE SHE'S SUPPOSED TO, she's a beast with a mouse costume, sneaky sneaky! If you're having a tough day at work or have been; I feel your pain- join the club.I say, take a deep breath or have a LONG shower- that's what I did...it kinda works?, but having this blog to vent on hits the spot! ;) Ciao!




















I look like this guy, womanised-and with no words jutting out of my head.

#13 Finals, Big Day Out

The day has come and gone; screams of joy/dissapointment? ; echoed the halls of my Whenuapai home. Great. NCEA results have been posted on the net and are on their way to my letterbox . I can't say that I'm totally happy with them, they could definitely improve; I guess thats what facebook did to me this year. You won't understand how much of a wreck I was when I found out the marks were going to be returned, I didn't want them. I couldn't function properly the whole day at work. I wasn't hungry- I KNOW. maybe I should get nervous about results more often; I was a mess. I guess everyone gets that feeling; the ones where those butterflies are going ape inside your tummy having a little party- if I could see the butterflies in mine they'd be bashing mini guitars and having a wonderful time, externally I wasn't feeling too good about that. I looked at the set of marks once and decided to let it go and aim higher for this year; no point dwelling on the past right? SCHOLAR CHLOE FOR 2010 (hopefully this helps!). Anyway I didn't need to let my exam results haunt me; I'd already purchased tickets to Aucklands annual 'Big Day Out' and no silly marks could stop me from rocking it up . My mother is much to nice to stop me from doing that :). So with that behind me; my fellow chump, Nikki and I ventured to Mount Smart Stadium along with 43,000 other participants to soak up the sun and enjoy numerous amazing acts by local and international musicians! Woopee! Along the way we saw men with outrageous mohawks that made them like, 2ft tall; girls sporting the bikini/short outfit & the odd couple wearing crocs. Oh, and of course; Ray Bans- that guy must be getting a lot of money coming in from NZ! If you've ever attended this event you would agree with me that the organisers did a fantastic job of collecting a vast selection of BABE kiwi folk from all around the country. Actually. I wouldn't be able to count on my fingers and toes the amount of boys I'd rate a 10+, though I had strong competition. Girls, I really don't understand how you can look perfect and poised after squeezing your way out of a 10K plus crowd- with your hair down at boiling temperatures. Honestly, tell me how and I'll pay you a lot of money, I'm so jealous :P. The lineup this year was beyond extraordinary sporting the likes of; Dizzee Rascal, Jet, The Temper Trap, Lilly Allen, and my utter favourtite : MUSE & the list goes on and on, ka pai BDO. Kai PAI. It was quite hot so of course I got a bit of a t-shirt sun burn, I even went to desperate lengths to slip slop and slap but no, Nikki went brown I went red. Murphys Law does exist I swear it does! After waiting for an hour patiently in our spot for Muse the picture perfect summers sky set their dimmer switch on and it was time to experience one of the best live acts that anyone will ever set their eyes on. Muse, all I can say is wow. I would bet big money that if you played their live songs against their recorded albums you'd hear exactly the same thing- or even, the live recordings would be even better. What talent. I'm starstruck; and now have a new appreciation for everything Muse, and am rather fond of their lead singer- Matthew Bellamy; what a STUD. He's got it going for him; rocker hips and a voice that would make any girl swoon. Thing is, they aren't shallow either, they aren't mainstream. They're one of a kind and actually think about the lyrics they write & the riffs are just amazing, catchy and ugh. Just perfection. It's pure talent & I LOVE IT. All in all. Best Day for chilling with your friends & listening to the most insane beats. 10/10 !

#12 A Precious Life Lost.

This will be a more demure entry from me this time. It is not one of happy thoughts or quirky views, it is one of pure grief and utter loss for the ones that stood close to this young man. Though I can't say I was a close friend of Joe Humphrey, I was connected to him through many friends, therefore their loss is reflected onto me and has affected me just as much. I met him once, and I guess his charm rubbed off on me a little as there is nothing I can say that is bad about him, he was known to be kind, a good friend; a keeper. When I heard the news it came as a huge shock- a crazy wake up call. It's so dissapointing that for myself and others to realise that life is so great, we have to lose a loved one in return. Joe according to many, lived his life to the full & taught us all the lesson that life is too short, we come and go at any time. It is what you make of it. Joe's life wasn't lived in vain- he was taken away too early but that doesn't mean he didn't leave his mark on the world. Do something outrageous, let your hair down; embrace what the world has to offer. Rest In Peace Joe; <3

#11 2010.

Happy New Years everyone!, its been quite a while since my last update so this is merely a recount of the happenings Miss Soon has encountered over the past week,or so ;)
New Years came and went as quick as you could say 'abracadabra', and since everyone went away to get crunk, I pretty much had very few options, luckily- my mother; the kind soul that she is, opened her home to two of my best girls, Nikki & Elise for a sleepover a midnight swim and the countdown in the city, sounded like a swell plan to me!. So the girls made their way to my crib, I fed them ( fried rice and brandy snaps&ice cream...YUM), entertained them and most importantly took millions upon millions of photos with them, newly naming ourselves...- the three muskeeters. :). We spent a good half hour searching the city to find a carpark, along the way we endeavoured on a 'lady of the night', not quite what we were looking for but good for the laughs, and finally settled in a cramped park that revealed a mountain to climb, great- burn off that ice cream right? We found a picture perfect area to watch the fireworks, Auckland really out did itself this year as the display was spectacular; though when watching the news the next day which revealed Sydneys' display, we still have some work to do, chumps. As the lights dimmed down we ventured to the streets saying goodbye to 2009 and hello, new decade!, the atmosphere was elated with joy and happiness and a large group of Indians hit us with their culture as they jumped and shimmied the whole night through. Typically- there were those that had way too much to drink and probably didn't know that we'd already phased into a new decade. Whats new years without them though? Not a very good one ha. Our legs burned as we finally reached the car and the ride to the beach gave us a good rest to hype us up for our next adventure for the night. Reaching the sullen, empty beach we were quickly warned by passerbys that there was r18 makings around the corner, being the nosy person I am, I soon found out that there, in the moonlight, was a loving couple, going for gold, stark naked. ew, you get the picture, but we left those two to whatever they were doing... got into our togs and plunged into the water; freezing yes- but so totally worth it. A drunken fellow who looked about .. 12 (16) came to us when we were in about knee-high water with his shoes on. Crazy kid. He was head over heels for Nikki, love can make you do crazy things I guess, they exchanged numbers, and a bunch of dodgy texts was all we could expect. Yay, my New Years was a night to remember. This year has also brought me much good news.
1. I passed my learners license test -FINALLY
2. Pandora Bracelet & Charms. TICK
3. Lap Top. TICK

Make this year one to remember folks - I know I have and am trying to!
