You know you are HOT when...

0. it is 40 degrees Celcius outside.
1. you can wear mismatched clothes and everyone says your have an excellent sense for fashion.
2. you wear fob clothes and you still look chic! (damn you Sarah! :p)
3. you can pull off bright and neon colours. Generally, if you are blonde with blue eyes, skinny with long legs, you are hot.
4. people do doubletakes at you when you wear no makeup.

Is it just me or is there an epidemic of HORSE lashes (fake lashes) these days on ASIAN girls? Man..embrace the fact girls, you have no lashes, or atleast glue some natural looking ones on. When you start wearing horrible HORRIBLE dragqueen lashes, I just want to *sigh* at you. Someone should really tell them that unnatural looking lashes are not pretty, just like Posh Spice's breasts and Nicole Kidman's forehead.



Yesterday, I saw a girl on the train, she was in her office gear with minimum make up, her hair was pulled back so you can really take a look at her face. She was so pretty. Everyone on the train was checking her out whilst pretending to read their MX. I don't know if she noticed, but she just kept on playing with her ipod!


5. Lastly, when people (guys especially) continue to hang around you despite the fact...well..you totally put the "B" in itch!


Disclaimer: I don't know where I got the last picture from, I don't know her. I am sure she is a nice girl.

Have a nice weekend Y'all!

Mean girls.

When I was young, I hated confrontations. I would avoid it by retreating at the earliest sign of conflict. Now, I face it head on, not afraid to use swearing words to add emphasis. I like to believe I am becoming more thick skinned. Otherwise, I have serious "mean girls" issues. Undoubtedly, I still feel terrible after I say mean things and I still rarely do.

To give you an example of my "mean girl" moment: yesterday, when I was watching the AFL grandfinal with a few mates. These guys went for Geelong. I go for Saints. So naturally, when my team lost, I was like sad and really disappointed. When one of the guys started bagging Nick Riewolt, I cracked it. I told him to "shut the f*ck up". See how mean I am? I didn't even apologise, I probably wouldn't. For those of you who are bitchy, this would seem minor. But for the docile kind, I must seem like a horrible monster. Just to reassure you, I am not! I hate being mean, but I really can't be bothered putting with people's crap these days, so I say what I think. Considering that I still seldomly say mean things, it just demonstrates I don't often think badly of others.

Have any of you guys experienced any major personality changes, for the better or worse?

What happened to spring? I was ready!! But now it's disappeared, and Winter is back again. :( Cold weather always make me shitty.
Here is some photos to remind you of Spring.



Colours will be big for Spring. I love Canary yellow and soft pink.
It's a great time to shop at the moment, midsemester break and the shops are having their midseason sale! Head to David Jones for shoes and bags, they are 30% off for some good quality stuff!



I bought some new makeup yesterday. I normally don't alot of makeup, especially not to university. So I was looking for some really light makeup, easy application.
I stumbled on Almay smart shade foundation. It comes out white, but when you put it on your face, it turns into the shade of your skin! How cool is that?
So I am going to try it out and see how that goes!!!


Have a nice week guys!!

Love Kristy

I carry your heart with me...

By EE Cummings



I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart
I am never without it
anywhere i go you go my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling
I fear no fate
for you are my fate,my sweet
I want no world
for beautiful you are my world,my true
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.



Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

I carry your heart
I carry it in my heart

Asians are not UGLY...

Dearest friends,

I think there are many beautiful Asians out there, despite the constant portrayal of slit/slanted eyed, flat faced and dopy looking asians with horrible fashion sense.

Fashion magazines continue to ignore the use of Asian models. I know this for a fact, because I ritually read magzines such as Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Cleo etc, and the quick flick through Dolly and Girlfriend magazines. WHERE ARE THE ASIANS????? With an abundant inflow of Asian immigrants, I am disappointed to say that the forementioned magazines have failed to research the demographics of their readers. Unless ofcourse, they only intend for white readers. If so, FY!

They regularly do editions on red hair, brunettes and blondes. Why is Brunette always brown? Brunette means dark hair not brown hair(checked my dictionary), therefore they should use black hair occasionally to represent brunettes.

Even when, asians are represented in the media, the ugly ones are picked. People like William Hung, the new girl Sunny on Neighbours, just to name a few. Common factor between all? SMALL EYES/Barely there eyes! No wonder, the western society think that we are all like that. Furthermore, when asians do feature in advertisements, it is always to bring a mockery factor. Thank you very much for making us into a joke!





Westerners need to understand that Asians are just as beautiful...I have included 2 regular asians to demonstrate my premise.

HOW TO AVOID ...Awkward Silences

I love silence. I am the type of person who is not afraid of solitude. Solitude is very different from being lonely. Loneliness results from loss of a person, or a loss of purpose, but solitude is a peaceful reflective time. During my time alone, I like to read and write and surf the web. To be honest, I rather join a book club then go to a club. Before you press the X button on the top right hand corner of your screen, I do socialise. I just came back from a 2 games of bowling!

Having said that, I detest awkward silences. It leaves me feeling socially retarded. As a result, I have come up with ways to avoid it.Awkward silences arises when you:

- don't know that person well, you have got past the "hello and how are you" and you have no idea how to leave politely, so you are stuck there. You smile awkwardly at that person. The person smiles back. You are not sure what to say or ask, because you don't want to sound "uncool" or too intrusive.

what I normally do: "oh this is awkward, we could talk about the weather or the sport, which do you prefer?" I like to tackle the problem head on.

- see someone you haven't seen for a long time. The conversation always start very enthusiastically with the "OMGGG" but after 2 minutes of "what have you been up to?" and "oh not much", conversation comes to a halt.

What I normally do: Oh, too bad I'm in a rush to goto___INSERT___, hope to see you soon!

- see an acquaintance and you have to talk to them, because your friends have not arrived and there is no one else to talk to at the party.

What I normally do: start off with greetings, university, traveling, AFL/cycling/tennis(male) /Twilight(female). Ask questions about their work or mutual friends. If the conversation continues, you can then move on to relationships. DON"T act too surprised, when you find out they do have a partner. That tends to make situations even more awkward. I would know. :(

I blame awkward silences on people who give you mono answers. "good" "nothing" "not much" "oh great" Such conversation killers. The general rule is, ask 5 questions, if they continuously give you mono answers, move on to someone else, or start talking about yourself. My ability to blab is impressive for someone who is considered quiet shy, if I feel awkward silences are inevitable, I would just keep talking and talking and talking. This is followed by nodding and smiling to any responses that come my way.

Please feel free to leave any suggestions!
I hope that is some what helpful!

You made the world a better place...

Dearest friends,

We have lost some one great today.

I can't believe he is gone. I know my friend Niro is devastated, he is such a huge fan.

Michael Jackson is undoubtedly one of the greatest performers in my lifetime.
I loved him in Jackson five, in the Thriller and in Billie Jean. I hope people remember him for who he is, a father, a dancer, a singer and someone who has bought so much hope to many. Although I have never been obsessed about MJ, but he has always entertained me. I have so much respect for what he has achieved. No one will or should take that away from him.


I have been listening to his songs on my cassette player. That's how old some of them are.
This is my favourite...

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.


Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.
If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.


We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.


I am still speechless. I hope you all take care! Please take care. XoXo

Goodbye to "bad boys"...

Between the age of 15-18. I admit, I did have a thing for the bad boys. There is something about them that is just attractive. Was it the looks? No.. It was more of the attitude and the.. omg "he is so wild, but I can tame him" ideology.

I blame the movies and books for such delusions. In those stories, the guys are always wild, grown up in the wrong side of the town, partying, not turning up to school, not nice to people, unreliable and so forth. But then one day he meets this girl, at first he didn't think much, he tries to intimidate her and push her away like he does to others, but she stands up to him. He is so shocked because this timid good girl is not afraid of him. He is interested, he gets to know her more. BAM! He starts to follow her around, he writes sweet letters, he protects her...he has fallen in love with her.

So now I'm older, armed with better and more rational reasoning skills, I once again analyse what it really means to "date a bad boy".

Firstly, why are these guys bad? Yes, they had a rough upbringing, but they still have a choice to be responsible for their actions and to be nice to others. There is really no excuse to being an asshole.

Secondly, will they ever be nice to the one particular girl? No, it's unlikely. They are unreliable, and they never wanted to be responsible and obey rules of the society. Even if you do try to change them, it will only be temporary.

Thirdly, who wants to be called to the police station at 2Am to bail out your boyfriend, because he decides that he has to "stick up for a mate" by getting into a fist fight? or even worst, to be on the end of a fist fight. Poor Rhianna..

Lastly, if the reason you are attracted to X because he is hardcore, wild, bad etc... then clearly, you will lose interest when he becomes tamed by you. When he does all the right thing and follow you around like a puppy, will you still be attracted to him?


Therefore, after such deductions, I (the wise one) conclude that "bad boys" should be left as a fantasy and it should definately not be exercised upon. GEEKY boys, it's your turn to shine..
bring out your comic books, and wow us girls with your "LMAO" jokes and wikipedia knowledge.
