Big Brother 9 ~ Week 7 Review

BEX IS GONE!!! YAY!

Thank Heaven's, the evil sly cow that never stopped moaning, bitching, and showing us her minging tits has been evicted from the Big Brother House, I am so relieved that this vile character is gone. Next we have to rid of her ''so-called-in-house-boyfriend'' Luke, though is it just me, or does anyone else think ''closet gay'', when thet see or hear Luke?

Since the week had the best ending ever, was the rest of the week just as good?

Well, the week's task of ''Clocks'' wasn't the most interesting to watch, in fact was quite boring to watch, with a human clock, keping sand flowing, which took forever anyway to flow, putting a clock together (they did it in 5 minutes) and turning off alarms whenever they went on in a room of 200+ clocks! But they did pass the task. And the HOH task of Bex, Dale and Maysoon (Maywho, you say?), dressing as monkeys and hanging from rope swimgs was quite the bore fest too, with moany Bex quitting after 3 minutes, while the rest competeed for 8 hours. Dale won, after Maysoon dropped down to stop Darnell breaking a ''fundemental'' rule of not eating the Monkeys' banana's.

The one Housemate who is doing my head in now is Rex, he is a brat of a man. Rex like's to concider himself higher than anyone else in the House, constantly talks of wealthy upbringing, and his restuaurant. He loves to interrupt everyone in mid-conversation, taunt them and even insult them, just to get a laugh from it, another vile character. And Luke... His every conversation is about how everyone else in the House is/are ''backstabbing'', ''fakes'', ''gameplaying'' and ''getting airtime'', quite frankly, Luke it's you who does all of the above, as it's you who cares the most about winning that £100,000.

What will happen in the week coming now Bex is gone, will we finally get a ''Happy House''?

Hair & Interview


Well, check out my new shorter hair, first time in years, that I cut my fringe off completely, it feels weird without it. Went to my interview thingy with my recruitment agent, jobs pretty damn good, great pay, health packages, bonus' etc. The flaw, 10 hour shifts, either 7am-4pm or 2pm-11pm. Don't mind working long days, but concidering my bus stop is located a good distance from the office, timing will be hard. Eek!

Oh and the game is Warhammer, which one I don't know.

Job Interview!!!

Yay! Finally, after over a month of searching, I finally managed to get a job interview! I'm meeting my first recuitment agent tomorrow to go over it, and getmore details into it. But it's for a customer support agent for online games, world of warcraft me thinks! Not sure if it is, but she did ask me if I play it, know of it and such. But I'm happy, and bouncing around, literally, and I'll let know how it goes tomorrow!

Big Brother 9 ~ Week 6 Review

Well, only in the House a week and she made a big impact in the wrong way, after suffering the voice of the voiceless singing too much and snoring her brains out at night, the Housemates had enough and nominated Belinda Belinda Belinda, and the public had enough too, and sent her on a one way trip to Eviction-ville.

The week got off to a great start, with the series twist beginning, and a the perfect time too. Withj Darnell, Dale and Luke up for the election to become Head Of House (HOH), Darnell one with a landslide 8 votes out off 11, and his first duty with the power... To send 7 people to HELL! The House has been transformed into Heaven and Hell with a divide down the middle (very ala to BB3's Rich-Poor Divide)

But what a twist it was back then, and is creating even more tension and drama than the last time. Bex constantly jealous of everything great in Heaven, from parties, to drink, to luxury and more. But trust Big Brother himself to make it worse by making Hell slave away at the tasks and by giving all the rewards to Heaven for nothing! Agian cue more moans and tantrums from Bex (annoying much?) More fun and less bitchiness in the House at the beginning of the week, but is coincidence, that at this very time Luke was sick and being very quiet and no opening his annoying high pitched voice of a mouth and bitching as usual?

The task was quite fun to watch, well on the Heaven side as they enbraced the Frenchness and had fun with it and joking about creating drama shows and rollplaying. Howevere mroe moaning and groaning from Luke and Bex during their 'tour de france' part of the task, which resulted in everyone moaning. Enough of that, all you need to know is that they failed.

To all reading...
VOTE BEX OR LUKE OUT AS SOON AS THEY'RE NOMIONATED!!!

Foto Friday #1



This is called Looking Out To Sea, and was taken 2 weeks ago, when I visited Howth with my good friend Jerrica. Just rambling around the Harbour and Marine, we came across the sectioned off part along the harbour walls, and had a great view out to Ireland's Eye (the island), and was a great photo opturtunity, especially before the dark grey clouds came in! The weather was was perfect, and the light from the sun, iluminated the sea a gorgeous turquoise. I edited this picture slightly in PaintShopPro X2 to add a depth of field to it. Other than that, it remains the same. Enjoy!

Chill Out Woman!

Someone need's to take a chill pill, and take a look at the bigger picture. Try to look at things from different persepctives and you might not only just realise why things have changed, but you might learn a thing or two, or three...

Big Brother 9 ~ Week 5 Review

Week 5 in the Big Brother House ended with Mario being evicted with 77% of the public vote, but what else happened that week...

The addition of 3 new Housemates at the beginning of the week not only brought in some fresh air, but also set more paranoia of in the Housemates minds. First in was Sara, a hot flirtatious aussie shiela with a resemblance of Angelina Jolie, second in was full-time dark and gorgeous model Maysoon and last but not least, the all singing and craziness of Belinda ,Belinda, Belinda (why does she incist on saying her name three times!!!)

Belinda Belinda Belinda's snoring was the main topic of the bicthing in the House, as the snorasaurus kept most of the Luxury Bedroom awake for most part of the week, resulting in Kathreya and Rachael moving to BBlock 9. Rebbeca was constantly being woken up by the loud snores and kept screaming at Belinda Belinda Belinda to shut up, which resulting in her waking everyone else up. In the end it was decided that Belinda Belinda Belinda will share both bedrooms and alternate between them each night.

The Irish Dancing task made me smile when it was first announced, I thought this would be an entertaining task with a good few laughs and even the Housemates would enjoy it, but, no they didn't even put enough practise into and resulted in a performance a bunch of monkeys could do better. Banging drums repeatly out of rhytm and sync and kicking your legs up in the air in random patterns doesn't constitute as a great performance, as Mario and Mikey thaught. It was that bad that the producers and ajudicator lost count of the mistakes they made. Oh dear...

And who could have seen this coming, Luke and Rebbeca? Is it for real. Canoodling under the covers late at night snogging and fondling. We have to keep an eye on this one, thank God she wasn't evicted so we'll have something to watch this week. And with one Housemate going to be elected the first ever Head of House, and having full control of the house including, deciding which Housemates will live in Heaven or Hell as the House divide makes a new and refreshed return after 6 years.

You give me 10,000 day's of rain...

Yay, Irish summer at it's best, rain rain rain, at least let's hope we'll have our usual sunny autumn in August and September. The rain is doing my nut in, can't do anything in it, grr. Went to the Urban Beach (they constructed a floating beach in one of the liffey's inlets in the dock) amazing, however, it rained and the sand, chairs and loungers were soaked. Have to make it on a sunny day. It's a fabulous idea and hope it returns again soon.

Recently I decided to take a zero tolerance approach to life, as in I'm not going to hold myself back anymore, I'm going to make sure when I've something to say, I will and I wont be afraid to push the boundries when it has to. Honesty is the best policy they say, but the truth does come at a price. So far, so good and it's working, but it's still early days but I do feel it's working for me.

Piercings! Love them as you know, and I want a new one badly, but I'm strapped for cash, but where should I get my next one???
A. Horizontal Eyebrow
B. Double ring on left ear (my left)
C. High-up ring on ear

Jobhunting is shite

Jobhunting sucks donkeys ass. You send out CV's around to different companies, and none get back, isn't woderful? Down to my last €50 before I'm pushed to beg off mommy and dawddy like a lil scruffy haired D4, with the exception that I'm not a D4. But hopfeully, somethign will turn up soon, *prays for once*

What to do with my spare time, is something I've been pondering lately whilst watching trash TV, so I'm gonna get out and do some active things, running about and whatnot, and I'm gonna join a photography group to further my skills. Speaking of that, I have upped some new stuff to my DeviantArt, with some here on my Bebo. I have my first experience of journalism at the moment writing a travel article on Copenhagen for the GCN youth edition, so it's gotta be top notch stuff there.
