Aviator shades 'cause she shine so bright...

Well haven't I been a busy bee recently, eh? I've had emotions running everywhere...literally..like when I went for a run the other day around the park (yeah, I'm still keeping up with it, impressive huh?) and it was like an emotional rollercoaster. I'm not the biggest an of rollercoasters at the best of times, so when I was tired, hot and aching, Nina didn't wanna go on the ride! But after a lot of perseverance- and my aunty encouraging me to get over the bloomin' hill- I made it all the way home, for a nice refreshing glass of pop. De-lish. 

Been doing my good deed for the day today...unfortunalely, someone nicked the lead off the church's roof..which is very selfish for many reasons, but now bascially, the parish have to raise £40,000 poudns to replace it...sad times :( But ALAS THERE IS A SOLUTION. (So this is where my deed of the day comes in...) There is a charity called 'Kids off the Street' and if we donate 100 bags of unwanted clothes, bags, bedding...you name it, they will pay £500!! So hopefully we can get loads and loads of bags. Me and my mum came up with 5 bags...but as Tesco says.. every little helps, yeah? I also had to depart with my prom dress. :( Yeahhhh it was a long time ago AND I don't fit in it anymore, but I have given it to the charity shop today, if I can't get any use out of it, I'd rather someone else..

In the news today:
Michael Gove, the Education Secretary that hardly anyone likes...including me, has proposed a new idea to the eduction system to the media (I know, another one? He doesn't do it often does he?...-_-) So for those who aren't aware of the change that he wants to the system or if you don't know what it means or whatnot.. Here is a quick summary for you all...hey; I might even learn something as well! - So O-Level's are bascially harder exams...yeah, because that's going to sink down well with teachers and students...as if they aren't hard enough already man :/
I personally don't see anything wrong with the way GCSE's are planned and delivered in the classroom. From my own experience and hearing about everyone else's, it seems to be working fine. Sure, you get people who say 'ooh they're easy now', 'you can cheat on the internet', 'everyone can get the same grade'. Well...and what? No, they aren't easy...something being easy is very subjective and is down to each individual so don't be so silly! No, you can't cheat as there is this little word with consequences and that's called 'plagiarism' and those studying currently or who have done their GCSE's will know this word like a best friend...you can't get anything through this system. And everyone can get the same grade? Not really...

If you do wanna read an article on it rather than my gobbledegook then say the magic words and go here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-18529471

Take care and talk soon! xx

Some advice for y'all

In a passionate and philosophical mood today, so I have pieces of advice, possible a rant or two and my thoughts for you to day...so here it goes.

1.'Forgive us for what we have done, 'cause we're young...' Well done Tulisa, I don't actually care what people have to say about you...at the end of the day, its your private life, everyone does the same things, unfortunately for you there was some asshole who wanted to show you up and expose you on the internet. I honestly have a weird sort of respect for you that you haven't let it get you down and you've picked yourself up and carried on with your career. This takes a lot of will power and pride, so kudos to you. Now, it terms of this song...I must admit that I wasn't the biggest fan when I first heard it coming out of my radio, but I went for a walk today (yes, I was in a walking mood in which you actually listen to the lyrics and don't really concentrate on walking) when this specific lyric stuck in my head. It's true though, isn't it? I'm one of those people who believe that you won't progress as a person in life without making a few life mistakes along the way and learning from them. Sure you may make the same mistake over and over again but each oime you learning something completely different and new from the situation. Trust me on this one; I speak from experience, I've had more mistakes in my life than I have eaten chocolate...and erm....thats a lot. So go for it, make as many mistakes as you like, don't let anyone tell you how to live your life or dictate it to you. It helps you to grow and it very healthy. But remember to practice what you preach and don't judge others by their mistakes.

2. Don't argue with a Geography student - especially on something so silly. Right, scenario; today my brother asked me what the continents were for this game he was playing on the internet...I said 'Okay hang on, ask me again'...so he repeated..'What are the continents? I need all 6 of them.' I was about to answer then had to double take.. 6?...6?!?! There are 7...I'm certain. I asked my mum and she told me that there was 6. I was actually quite offended. *geek alert* So there are 7 SEVEN 7 continents of the world, just to clarify. Despite silly internet and rumours. 

3. Don't think you're God's gift - as harsh as it sounds, you aren't. What really bugs me if when someone thinks that they're so special than they don't need to hear anyone elses opinion or that they are  the only one that matters. When it comes down to it, no one is more special than the next. On a regular basis I come across people who feel that they are God's gift to the world...yeah okay, I guess they are with their own abilities and special talents that they bring not only to themselves but to other people; no one can be as good as them as they are at being themselves. But what I mean is when they think that they are better than you, because 9/10, even if you feel like they are; HERE'S A NEWSFLASH...they aren't. It's people like these that make you feel so small and desperate for their attention..either that or that you have to constantly impress them or go out of your way for them. *But please don't see this as me saying that you're not special..because you are, so so special. No one can ever replace someone else. It's actually physically, mentally and emotionally impossible. Fact.*

4. Don't rush things - you have plenty of time for that later! In an ever changing environment you don't have time to think about what you wanna do, just make those rash decision; it turns out those turn out to be the most important ones you ever make.

I do hope you've learnt from this blog and taken something from it. I may possibly blog in a few hours with happy things...watch this space!! 

Can I get you anything to drink, Sir Ghetto?

Okay so I have a lot to fill you in with so I hope that you're all sitting comfortably and I shall begin my story telling...

Well..I got that job that I applied for, it was very good and informative and I also made a fair few friends which is always good :) So my first shift was scheduled for 4.30pm till 2am, yeah I know seems really long and trust me; it was. Tiring doesn't even scratch it...my legs and feet were tired by half 8, and even though my soul may have died a little bit when I checked the time, I played the little trooper and carried on...*cue the Braveheart music*

I did have one incident in which I got the drinks perfectly fine as in I followed procedure by writing down the order, taking the money and going to the bar then going back to my allocated table...but unfortunately somebody decided to get in between my smooth plan and walk into me..causing me to...yup, you guessed it, spill the drinks. But not only did I spill the order, it went down the back of a woman's chair..AND THE BACK OF HER GORGEOUS BALL DRESS. To say that I was mortified is an understatement. I was just apologising for ages knowing that words did nothing. (sad times) But I did replace their drinks, but this made it proper awkward for me to ask if they wanted drinks throughout the night.
----------------------------------- < this is silver lining.
The woman gave me her change from her drink, Yipee my first tip of the night. :)

So after serving drinks for till half 10, we finally got a break..with food :O The jacket potato was welll nice and this weird chicken and onion mix which was hitting the spot too. When we resumed from our break, it started to get nitty gritty since we had to tidy up all the glasses and cups from 90 odd table of 10. Whilst we were doing this, the 1000 guests were dancing around to the staged music playing some decent tunes. I was proper gutted that I couldn't shake ma thangg on the dance floor. Dem guests wouldn't know what hit them...ma moves are as sick as ma llama hooves ;)

Finally I finished my shift at 2am and I was left standing on Broad Street at half 2 with the drunken men staggering past me...not really something I was in the mood for...(not that I'm in the mood for it normally aha) Unfortunately, this Wine Waitress didn't get any more than 4 hours sleep due to the ghetto gangbang that was occurring in my house (brother's sleepover for his birthday). I was tired, grouchy and cranky and you certainly don't want to get on the bad side of my when I'm cranky...honestly, ask anyone.

So, due to lack of sleep, I am currently waiting to crash after my crazy obsession with pork pies, sausage rolls and scotch eggs this afternoon...NOM.

Gonna have to love ya and leave ya I'm afraid guys.
Bizzle fo'shizzle! xxx

losing your voice boys?

For readers with weak stomachs or for those who are easily disturbed, please come back tomorrow...sorry guys :/
*******************
So I learnt a new fact today, sorry if everyone knew this but this information came to my attention this morning...men can get thrush. Okay I know how this comes across; it puts a VERY bad impression of me on the internet. Sooo for the record I didn't give anybody thrush. Thank you.
So for those who didn't know, men can actually, medically get thrush..are you thinking what I was when i recieved the text off my friend (I'm not supporting my innocent case that well am I?) I was like WHAAAT? HOW IS THAT POSSSIBLEE? How did I research you may ask? Ask a friend? A doctor? A book?...None of them but my best friend that is Google. Not gonna lie, it did make me giggle to think that a guy has got oral thrush so I found a fun fact...

Did you know 1 in ten guys who visit a sexual health clinic have it? :O So girls...we can't say that we are the only ones to suffer are we?

So lads...next time you're having trouble swallowing (hehe) check in to your local doctors...you may be surprised!!

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong...

So to start off with here are some tips and tricks that I have picked up throughout the day:
Lesson #1 Taking up your trousers. So I look on the worldy wide web of how to do this since I have short legs, but what I found is that 1) not only did I not have enough time to create a new hem but I also lacked the effort to do this. Here is my solution: Go to your local supermarket or fabric store, request Hemming Tape (Iron On) When you get home, look at the box and read the instructions. It works perfectly fine...actually I have just realised that I have a GCSE in Textiles, why oh why did I not put this into good use? :( Stuupidd me.
Lesson #2 Making Marble Cake. Don't grease the tin with butter and use grease proof paper. Not only is it pointless, but it makes your cake taste really greasy and not as amazing as it should. It looks alright... and I followed the recipe like I normally do there just is something wrong. I'm going to have to dry the cake out. Does that mean make it go stale? Possibly...possibly.

I woke up in such a positive mood today, which is strange since I knew what was lined up for me...a trek to Asda, my interview and my essay. But the theme of me being in a good mood decided to stay with me as here where the outcomes; baking ingredients which means CAKE CAKE I LOOVVEE THE CAKE. I got through to the next stage so tomorrow I have an induction day where I learn the ins and outs of the job and need to pass a small test, once I've done that I can start work straight away *excited* *motivated* *nervous*. Andd I finished my first essay. Today has been a good day :)

I shall say bye bye now, Miss Nina is sleepy and needs her beauty sleep for training tomorrow and needs to pray that the weather will be okay so her fancy smart clothes and hair don't get ruined.

Sleep well my pretties :) xxx

I dropped my chicken :(

No, you didn't read that title wrong, i actually did drop my chicken; so here's the story...I text my cousin to ask him to resend me a joke and I was balancing my McDonalds on my lap (yes before you say it, I shouldn't have put it on my lap...whilst on a moving vehicle....anddd since I've been running recently I shouldn't have messed up my diet) but anyway, I reached into my pocket to see his reply and dropped my drink, luckily, this clever girl had the lid on it buttt (wait for it) as I bent over to save my drink, my half eaten burger fell on the floor! :( But what I don't understand is WHYYY WAS IT THE CHICKEN THAT FELL OUT AND NOT THE BUN? It's like the only substantial part of the burger :( I genuinely was proper gutted about this.

So I had a a adventure around town to buy my interview clothes, got them all in the end woohoo! But unfortunately for Little Miss Petite here , hardly any of the smart trousers had my leg length so I will have to turn them up...not that I know how to do that- sad times. To Google :) So look out for my tips and tricks on how to turn up trousers in my next instalment :P

I made a friend today, I know right? me have friends? Damnn. But this is the best part...don't tell anyone because he is shy but *whispers* he isn't real :O Here he is in all of his slightly eroded and grubby glory (just how I like 'em ;) )

I will let you know how my interview goes, so wish me luck :) xxx

Girl's still got it...in more ways than one.

Haven't I been a busy bee? :O
I've managed to fit a lot into the past few days and I must admit, I'm well proud of myself *pats back*. Soo the weather has been well mood-swingy toda...oh what's that sorry? Ooh you want to know why I'm proud of myself? Well why didn't you just ask? ;)

Well on Sunday I managed to actually start my book and was in the company of the cat..ahh isn't she a babe? Well so far my book 'Atonement' is very very good, I haven't yet watched the film but from how much I'm enjoying the book I know that it will be very very good :) I managed to get a good chunk done and now since I can't sleep recently, it has been taking me away to a nice place as I drift away to the land of nod :)

I also went for a run..please please hold your applause...I did a wholleee 4.5 miles. Impressive, huh? I was well chuffed with myself :) Even though I got out of breath and needed to drink a well of water..but nevertheless I did it and I finished, and even made it all the way home. The shower was incredible, the best nip I've  had for a while..very satisfying...

Monday's News:

This gal got herself a job interview didn't she? And just when she was beginning to give up, it just proves that you should never give up on things because you don't know what waiting for you :) So I have to invest in black black black. Did somebody say shopping? Oh yes, I think they did...boomtingg!

So after a chippy and half of my essay done (and a lack of enthusiasm within this blog since I'm very tired and on a time schedule) it's time for bed now :)

Will fill you in on my news of tomorrow, got a busy day of going round Brumtown and trying but epically failing at being a tour guide around the good ol' city of Brum.

Sleepwellfollowers :) xx
