Can’t pretend it hasn’t been gloomy here. I miss my friends!

Someone commented hoping I had some photos of food from Bali, I’m sorry I didn’t take some, I was perpetually hungry and gobbled gobbled away all the time! But I have started documenting the juices I make everyday now – new blender syndrome – so hopefully that turns out interesting. And soups, juices and soups.

G’weekend folks, hug somebody!

Bali, part two

This bunch is a mix of day one and day two. We went surfing on day two which I was the most nervous about. I love the sea and I’m a pretty good swimmer but I don’t like idea of me rolling with the waves very much. While I survived it and managed to stand steadily once!, my instructor actually said I suck at it which means a lot to me, him being so comfortable to speak his mind within the span of an hour. Memorable stuff.

Day 1 - Hotel Aryana

Day 1 - Hotel Aryana
These two photos were taken at the very beautiful Hotel Ayana. We travelled deep into Jimbaran with grand plans of watching the sun set at Rock Bar (check out both links for better photos). But we got there too late and the bar was too packed.

Day 2 - Pool Time

Day 2 - Pool Time
As I previously mentioned, we ended each day with a dip in the pool.

Day 2 - Setting out for dinner
Setting out for a dinner at a five year old’s birthday party (friend’s friend’s daughter if you’re wondering)

Day 2 - She gave me beef
This little girl gave me beef for sneaking a shot of her topless, she had every right tho!

Day 2 - 5 year old's party

Day 2 - 5 year old's party
We proceeded to get slightly buzzed at the kid’s party which is terrible of us but once again, memorable stuff!

4 girls, 2 kids

As promised! I only took one roll of film and used up an underwater camera though, so there will probably be enough for two more posts. Six of us went up to Bali to celebrate my good friend, Farah’s, 25th birthday. It was pretty epic, we did the magic mushrooms, we surfed, we thought we were gonna die when we heard the tsunami alert and we slept under the stars. Well while I failed to capture the fun moments, I did manage some shots I’ll remember for life I think.

My heart goes out to anyone who has been affected by the damage in Chile.

Day 1
First morning at the beach, dead fish lined the shore, welcome to Bali!

It's good to be home

Bali was epic. I’m very tanned and still not entirely recognizing my limbs. The rolls of film are being developed so I’ll share some with you guys tomorrow. It’s so nice to be home tho, I’m a softie, I miss everything – my cats, my pillow, my bed, my bathroom, my boyfriend. And then I remembered these last few photos I have yet to share. They were taken at home, in the kitchen to be exact.

Last time, pinky promise

Mah man

eeeks shrieks

eeeks shrieks

See how huge the snake-like kites are? From where I was sitting, they took my breath away, in a terrifying way. They looked evil like aliens wanting to take over our world. The photos definitely don’t capture it but you take my word for it yeah!

TREE

McMelly

This is the last bits of photos of kites, I think I overdid it on the blog a little!

Anyway I’ll be off to Bali with some friends on Thursday and over the weekend but we are so cool, we haven’t gotten a place to stay. If you know me well, I am the biggest freaker-outer ever. So yeah… hooray, adventure!!
