DUDE, you smashed my car!

It's my 4th day being a sick heffa - yes I'm that bored,  I'm counting the days that I spend in bed being useless. My family's been avoiding me. I've been locked away in my room - QUARANTINE in these 4 white walls with nothing but sunlight through my window (that I don't really open up because the sunlight gives me a headache. aue!).  I'm not allowed to come out unless to use the bathroom and  I'm not allowed to touch or be near my hunnies.  My husband brings me my food in my room wearing a mask and I only get a goodnight 'blow kiss' I miss my hugs and kisses from my babies This INFLUENZA shit SUCKS balls!!!!!!!! We got up this morning, I hear pitter patter feet of Tauilagi running up and down the hallway  calling me " mommy mommy, where you mommy ?"  I was so tempted to get up and open the door.  Then I hear Tautai calling out to his brother " Taui come here, mommy's sick, you don't wanna be ...

Gosh, I am such a bipolar piece of work - HA! what's new One week I write 2-3 blogs and the next week I write nada..zilch..nothing. I promise I am trying to be good though ;) So this week I am writing about me ... because this is all about me. NUPI Why I'm happy..this very moment. NO! I'm not gonna plaster my deep emotional ish about what makes me happy on here. Well, because you all know FOOD makes me happy :) . I just want to jot down what makes me happy NOW!

Since starting on my photography journey, I've researched the works of many talented photographers. All that I came across were great, but no-one as great and powerful as the great Sue Bryce. She is an all-round inspiration. Sue started her photography business in her parent's garage with money borrowed from her parents. Today, she is a world renowned contemporary portrait photographer. I absolutely love and adore Sue and her work. She posts photos from her shoots and she posts tips and she even creates and delivers workshops for anyone at any level of photography in the industry. The thing I love about Sue is, she is so open with her style. She loves sharing her ideas, her tips and her work. She is real! the amazing Sue Bryce (copied from her FB page) Just yesterday, a fiapoko photographer posted on a private photographer's forum on facebook - his frustrations about people copying Sue's poses and style. He said that we should find our own style - he was right, ...

Afternoon rants

As I settle back in my workstation after lunch (at 5pm) - I felt so overwhelmed with whatever the hell has been going on at work the first half of today. I tried to backtrack to what I've done today. - Did I do anything worthwhile? - Did I help anyone the best I can? - Did I have an a huh moment? - Did I start on my to - do list? hhhhhhmmmmm...NO no no and NO!!! Nada Why? Because I've spent all frickin morning and the better half of the afternoon making corrections, doing cleanups and submitting memos on why this and that weren't done properly. Explaining my f***n life and everyone else's f***n lives and why other idiots always mess up. They should change my title to FIXER instead. I seem to be doing alot of it lately. I guess I should tighten up things around here. Don't get me wrong, I have an excellent team. I've trained them well and I know they're good at their jobs. BUt some of them....hhhhmmmm...There's just something there that's...
