My Block of Land
I bought a piece of land today!!! All papers have been signed and now I'm the official owner of a block of land... I'm super excited :)
Till now I've been keeping quite about this as I didn't want to jinx anything. I've been running around trying to sort out a few issues and convince the Housing Authority to let me purchase this. Its difficult here in Fiji to purchase land if you already have one block. Yes people...

Heavy Clouds!!!
Now I love clouds.. to me they are white and fluffy and like cotton. Yeah yeah - I'm still a kid at heart :)
But these clouds appeared heavily pregnant to me when I saw then on Friday 4th March :) ...
And sure enough - within 5 minutes we had rain. Buckets and buckets of it!!! So much so that we had flash flooding :...

Water Plants
I have a few of these plants at home. Its actually quite expensive to buy but we managed to get it directly from the river on one of our trips...
Floating Cabbage...
I call it Floating Cabbage, as I have no idea what the real name is!!! I guess it is also called water cabbage.
I love water features - I find it so soothing so I am trying to have some water features around my house. This looks beautiful as well!...

Creeping Up
Over the years I have always admired plants and flowers at various homes, resorts and of course in pictures. All the while having hope that maybe one day I would be able to have the same at some time in my life.
Obviously tending to plants and gardens is labor of love and it can take years to bear fruit. I have always wanted creepers and if I was even slightly artistic I would have painted the vines and flowers and lush foliage on...

Getting Organized
Now anyone who knows me also knows that I'm a very disorganized person in my personal life :) Now this is not something to brag about but I really don't like order... Anyways I am making a serious effort to change things now and I'm making small small changes to achieve order in my usually chaotic world!!! (Boy my brother would love this - especially since his field of study is Chaos Theory!!!)
Now of late I have realized that I'm responsible...
Home Composting
My home composter was installed when I went home yesterday. Gosh - I was soo excited!!!
I bought the composter on Friday and LCC (Lautoka City Council) installed it yesterday. I'm so looking forward to using it now : ) Here are some pictures:
Now this composter has been supplied by LCC for $30. It usually retails for $55 but the City rate payers received a big discount.
Some things to note are:
Only one per rate payer

Girls Guide to Changing Breaklight Bulb
There are some things that a girl needs to know especially if she drives a lot. These things include changing tyres, checking battery water, topping radiator and changing breaklight bulbs.
In Fiji, it’s a crime to drive around with faulty lights and nowadays LTA (Land Transport Authority) officials are on the roads at all times. Now don’t ask me what they do coz I just might give my opinion on that!!! Anyway coming back to the original...

Garden of the Sleeping Giant
I have always wanted to visit these gardens coz they have all sorts of flowers and of course they have water lillies. So on Sunday I decided that I'll just go for a quick visit.
And guess what: I got lost while looking for directions :) Extremely disappointing of course and a humbling experience.
I looked for directions and now I'm planning the visit with great care :) Though right now don't know when I'll actually get to go... but one thing is for sure - I'll be taking alot of pictures!...

Creativeness!!
One of my resolutions for this year is to be more creative. I work over 10 hours a day plus my travelling is over 3 hours a day... sooo basically I lead a very sedentary life. Work - Home - Work. This is my way of doing something more each week. Learning new things and being more creative. I want 2011 to be a defining year for me!!!
So once I had decided this I thought it would be easy. I have a goal and now I'll work towards that. Boy, was I wrong!!! Its hard... I spent 3 days thinking what to do :) I spent more...
