Events in my life.

Well well, this past week I cannot be more smug, my very recent girlfriend has graduated, she is now exhibiting her work in London AND an image of her work has been chosen at the Gallery from the many many bursary winners and extremely worthy competitors! I may not "get" their work nor understand what was the inspiration used...all I can say is, I know how much time and effort each of these guys used...so even if nobody knows what you're trying to portray, at least your efforts will be duly noted! Good Job my girl!!!

I'm not sure if it is just me or does anyone else find it more and more difficult to obtain a mortgage these days? I do not understand why does my rental income not count as income on top of my wage?! I make an average amount each month via work and the rent i receive is bonus and i look forward to it every month (some of it i give back to my folks because they did help me buy the flat). I'm not much of a spender...the flat is fully paid off and generates decent income...yet it doesn't count?!?!? >:( Michelle doesn't understand much about the financials but bless her! She does seem to grasp the ideas and concepts that I'm trying. Quite the support I need...damn I bagged myself a good one! ...i hope my next opportunity will be around the corner soon! I really want another rental to boost my income even if the banks doesn't think it is!

Hey, so...yeah...as the title says, it's almost half way through 2014. I've been looking at houses and flats around Edinburgh and MAN ARE THEY EXPENSIVE!!! It's not that I am looking at posh, upper class areas as such (those would cost more) but working/middle class areas...so I picked up a few details of these places and went to the bank to see about a mortgage... Long story short, they can't give me anything because i don't work a defined number of hours...our line of work doesn't have a set amount of hours because sometimes it's busy and sometimes it's not...everything is being computerized and the machine has taken over...if it was just up to the bank manager, i would of got it no problem because the manager knows my whole family...dang it! Ah well, there will be something around the corner and if I can't get a mortgage with my financial condition...then i think neither can many others...

I can't seem to grasp how life is much easier and happier for me so far! Before the move to Edinburgh...i was very reluctant in changes to my (boring and slightly depressive) life style. The two things that really made me stay in the small town was the awesome people from my Martial Arts School (who i still keep in touch with) and the familiar feeling of the town. Then I asked myself...is this it? Couldn't I just move back if I didn't like it? The answer was definitely...THIS ISN'T IT and I don't want to move back anytime soon haha! However I do miss my School and fellow Ju Jutsuka. Michelle...well, what else can i say? She's worth the chase, hot, gorgeous and did I mention Hot? Hahaha Monday past...I GOT MY NEW CAR!!!  IBIZA FR EDITION ACT, 1.4L 140BHP AND RETURNS AN IMPRESSIVE 60MPG ON PETROL!!!! Life is certainly good now, can't wait till the summer, Michelle will be graduating...i'll be able to meet her parents and i'll be able to spend a fe...

Oh Hell yeah!!!!!!!! Remember a month ago I screwed things over a bit with Michelle? After many messages and persuasion, I managed to be "dating her"...I'm not entirely sure what  actually happened... Last Wednesday we had a lunch date...then I asked if she wanted to come with me to look for a new car...I choose to go back to my old place of work (Citroen and Seat dealers), saw a good number of old colleagues and my old manager! We greeted and had a catch up...then they offered me AN ASS KICKING EPIC DEAL... So i bought a car...Seat Ibiza, 1.4litre engine...140 break horse power with a decent 60mpg......in black... Life is pretty sweet just now, (almost) girlfriend and new car...needing a flat to call home :)

Oh man, I have just cocked up with Michelle AGAIN! ...Cathy and Michelle are friends...and I have used similar words in texts to both of them... I don't really know what to do now. Michelle's trust is hard to earn and now she says, she doesn't trust me...Understandable. ***BUT in my defence, I am NOT tied down to either girl AND I didn't chase them both at the same time either. So some slack should be given.*** She says it was fun to have had the attention but couldn't see us passing on the "Friend" stage....FUCK I HAVE BEEN "FRIEND-ZONED"...is what I'm thinking.... It is SO shit that I can't talk to anyone about it...too embarrassing ...yet it must go somewhere...I hope venting out here wouldn't bite me in the ass later.... ...fuck...

Its has been two weeks since I moved to Edinburgh, life here is more or less like how I am accustomed to, work hard and rest. Don't have much free time for myself...do I miss free time? Of course I do but only a little. I do miss sleeping in a bit later, time to read, training and being a bit more social with others! I suppose what is most important at the moment is to build up my financial foundation again and continue on with my plan of buying apartments/flats for renting out. That way, I can afford to work less and still have decent income coming in! At work, there are 4 distinct groups; The Heads: The owners, although I am related to them I do take my duties seriously and don't slack. So far, they've been like my third set of parents and are quite "lax" with me. The Full Time Waiting Staff: Gordon, Peter and Myself (Although I don't "belong" to this group), I feel that these guys (EXCLUDING MYSELF) try to do only what is needed...what do I ...
