This is for a new year!*]]

Happy 2008 and wishing you guys all the best!

I know this is late, but I've been spending the last few days trying to recover from my illness. It was especially bad on Monday, since I had to work until 8AM in the morning - yes, even though I was sick. The night turned out to be exhausting and I was in an extremely bad mood towards the end of the night. Thankfully, I seem to be recovering a lot quicker than I usually do.. so I am grateful for that.

2007 has been an interesting year to say the least, learnt a lot and met a lot of interesting people. One of the most important lessons of 2007 was learning how to deal with life in an optimistic manner, making the best out of both the good and the bad and learning that everyone goes through their ups and downs, it's how you deal with it that matters.

So I shall stop here before I start sounding like an old geezer, and on my next post I shall start talking about more cocktails and what not related to alcohol (in which I was supposed to discuss about this post, but NYE got in the way).

Until then, take care, be safe and love ya guts (no, not literally).

Cocktail Celebration!*]]

Ginger Lounge: Cocktail: Cream My Pants

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

I am so glad Boxing Day is over. One of the busiest times of the year (with probably the exception of New Years Eve), so I'm glad I survived with just another barman by my side.

So what have I been doing to celebrate Christmas? Going to Cocktail Lounges and experencing all sorts of new, interesting and different types of Cocktails. Probably one of my biggest new fascinations with my job is cocktail making. It's a style of drinks which has taken upon an art form. It's upto a bartender to make it fancy, tasty and interesting.

Thing is, it's so hard to make a cocktail that's "original" which hasn't been done before. There's probably thousands of bartenders out there that make their own cocktails and for something to be "original", you sometimes have to think outside the box. What do I mean by that? I'll elaborate on the next post.

So, as the year comes to an end and resolutions are made, I have a new short term goal.. to make a cocktail which is 100% original, and good enough to win a competition. Of course, that's only one of them. ;)

So, to end my post, I'm going to wish you all a Happy New Year and a wonderful 2008!

Merry Christmas!*]]

So first of all, I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
So much has changed over the course of time I haven't been here. I've been so busy with work that I've barely time to breath.

So whats been new around here? As you can probably tell from the picture, I'm now working as a bartender. It's a fun job and I enjoy making drinks - and getting people drunk, but that's beside the point. I must admit life hasn't been easy for me ever since moving here, but I don't regret a single decision I've made.

Life has been good to me for the past few months, and I have a lot to report about.. which I will eventually get to, later. So hopefully I'll see more of everyone around.

Till then, take care :)

Back from a long hiatus*]]

I don't think it takes a genius to figure out, that I've obviously been busy for the past few months. What have I been doing and where have I been?

For the past few months, I've been in Melbourne, Australia. I've been very busy, even busier than before. I suppose this is partially due to the reason that I decided that I wanted to settle down somewhere for a while, and Melbourne provided that perfect opportunity.

So naturally, I'm taking this chance to further my studies AGAIN and probably work on a more normal job. Something I could add to my resume, that would make me look a little bit less air-headed and provide me with work experience in fields other than modelling.

I really haven't had the time to catch up with people recently, but how has everyone been? Good, I hope. Nothing new with my love life, incase anyone cares to ask. Oh, I did finally manage to get my hands on a digital camera though.. so I guess you guys can expect to see more photos of me soon?

Until then, Au revoir!

With Reason.*]]

I have nothing intellectual to post today, and nothing long either. I just want to say, I hate my father and even if he is a blood-relative, I could care less if he died tomorrow.

The End

Karma: It bites you back on the ass, hard.*]]

“Wal-mart... do they like make walls there?”
~Paris Hilton

Well, it is damn about time something happened to her. I feel as if she deserves it this time around. This article was taken from MSNBC.com

LOS ANGELES - A judge sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in county jail Friday for violating her probation, putting the brakes on the hotel heiress' famous high life.

Hilton, who parlayed her name and relentless partying into worldwide notoriety, must go to jail on June 5 and she will not be allowed any work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled after a hearing.

The judge ruled that she was in violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

“I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything. I'm sorry and I did not do it on purpose at all,” she told the judge before he announced the sentence.

She was then ordered to report to a women’s jail in suburban Lynwood on the set date or face 90 days behind bars. The judge’s ruling excluded her from paying to serve time in a jail of her choice, as some are allowed.

As a city prosecutor said during closing arguments that Hilton deserved jail time, Hilton’s mother, Kathy, laughed. When the judge ruled, Kathy Hilton, then blurted out: “May I have your autograph?”

Paris Hilton was among a series of witnesses who took the stand during the hearing. She testified she believed her license was initially suspended for 30 days and that she was allowed to drive for work purposes during the next 90 days.

She said that when an officer who stopped her in January made her sign a document stating her license was suspended, she thought he was mistaken and did not actually look at the document.

Also called to the stand was Hilton's spokesman, Elliot Mintz. Hilton and her attorneys characterized Mintz as a liaison between Hilton and her lawyers.

Mintz testified that to his knowledge Hilton did not drive during the 30-day period. He said he then advised her that he believed her license was no longer suspended.

The judge called Mintz’s testimony worthless and expressed disbelief at Hilton's lawyers.

“I can't believe that either attorney did not tell her that the suspension had been upheld,” the judge said. “She wanted to disregard everything that was said and continue to drive no matter what.”

Appeal in the works

Hilton looked forward and didn't speak to news media as she left court. Her mother looked upset.

When a reporter asked what she thought of the judge's decision, a visibly angry Kathy Hilton responded: “What do you think? This is pathetic and disgusting, a waste of taxpayer money with all this nonsense. This is a joke.”

One of her attorneys, Howard Weitzman, said he would appeal.

“I'm shocked, I'm surprised and really disheartened in the system that I've worked in for close to 40 years,” Weitzman said.

He said the sentence was “uncalled for, inappropriate and bordered on the ludicrous.”

“I think she's singled out because of who she is,” Weitzman said.

Hilton had arrived at the Metropolitan Courthouse 10 minutes late and ignored screams of photographers as she swept in with her attorneys, mother and father, Rick Hilton. Wearing a gray jacket and white shirt over black slacks and with a black headband on, she said nothing and appeared serious.

The celebrity case brought an unusual scene to the austere courthouse south of downtown in a commercial area. As if at a red carpet event, dozens of photographers and reporters lined up at the rear entrance. Yellow police tape substituted for velvet ropes.

Hilton, 26, pleaded no contest in January to reckless driving stemming from a Sept. 7 arrest in Hollywood. Police said she appeared intoxicated and failed a field sobriety test. She had a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent, the level at which an adult driver is in violation of the law.

She was sentenced to 36 months probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

Two other traffic stops and failure to enroll in a mandated alcohol education program, are what landed the socialite back in court.

On Jan. 15, Hilton was pulled over by California Highway Patrol. Officers informed her that she was driving on a suspended license and she signed a document acknowledging that she was not to drive, according to papers filed in Superior Court.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies stopped Hilton on Feb. 27 and charged her with violating her probation. Police said she was pulled over at about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off.

Mintz said at the time Hilton wasn't aware her license was suspended. A copy of the document Hilton signed on Jan. 15 was found in the car’s glove compartment, court papers say.

Hilton was also required to enroll in an alcohol education program by Feb. 12. As of April 17, she had not enrolled, prosecutors said.

Hilton, heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune, first gained notoriety for her hard partying as a teen. She attracted worldwide attention when a sex tape she made with a boyfriend was released on the Internet.

Romantic... or not?*]]

"I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste."
~David Bissonette

My friend showed me this, and I thought it'd be nice to share with everyone. A newspaper ran a competition asking for a rhyme with the most romantic first line and least romantic second line. So here we have some of those entries..

I thought that I could love no other
Until, that is, I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

Oh loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not

I want to feel your sweet embrace
But don't take that paper bag off of your face

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes -
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe "go to hell"

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime
