Work It NYE @ Visions!

I vowed to never go to a hyped party, but I guess I can make one exception for New Years!



East end dive, low ceiling, hyped people, no air con, stussy and sneaker wearing trainer people everywhere, wannabe photgraphers and stinky smelly people gathered in the basement for the countdown!
OH I LOVE IT!

Bring it on!

R.I.P Georama

My dearest cousin had an accident not so long ago, and his love, his beautiful custom made, one of a kind, imported colourful fixie bike was totaled....

Thank god, my cousin made it out alive!

R.I.P Geo....

Punk in Vans

The other day, my cousins and I went slightly crazy on buying Vans shoes. 24 pairs were purchased between the 3 of us.
Today, I went to return 3 of my pairs, as they were way too big. I guess I'm smaller in Vans shoes and I didn't know it!



I arrived at the Vans shop and queued and waited my turn to be served....
I did think: "Hope that slow guy doesn't serve me"

SODS LAW, he does. =(

I gave him the the 3 shoes and my 2 receipts. 1 from the Carnaby store and the other from the Westfield store.
He slowly, I mean, slowly tapped on his computer and eventually managed to get the correct amount that was meant to be refunded to be. (He kept on getting the wrong amount up screen and was gonna continue unless I corrected him)

Ok, so I got my money refunded onto my card, by this time, I was there for about 10 minutes, and I should of been in and out and down the bloody road by then! I filled in my details and he gave me my card and refund receipt and bid me goodbye.

Hang on a minute, I thought.
"Where's my original receipt?"
"You didn't ask to have it back"
"Am I meant to? Should I not get it back anyway? I've got like 10 more pair of trainers on there, that may be returned for any reason"
"Well you didn't say"
"I shouldn't! You just bid me goodbye without giving me my own receipt!"
"Well I can only give you the receipt for the Carnaby store"
"Why is that?"
"It's company policy"
"So what does the customer get back for proof of purchase? I need my receipt back"
"You don't unless you say. I can reprint you the Carnaby like I said but not for Westfield. The only way you can get it back is if you buy the Trainer you bought from Westfield and go there to return it to get your original receipt back"
"But there is a reason why I'm doing a return!"

By then, I was getting agitated, as this prick had no customer care skills and was such a wank stain!

"Oh this is shit" I said.
"If your gonna start swearing at me, I will not serve you"
"Are you listening? I said, this is shit. How is that aimed at you"
"You know what, I'm not going to serve you. You have been rude and now swearing at me. Get out. GET OUT!"

I looked at the guy who was serving next to him (who looked managerial, as he was ordering people about while I was in the queue)

"Calm down Omar (I think his name was) You do this transaction and I deal with this.

So I moved to the other till and I asked:

"So what can you do?"
"I can print you another receipt for this store and for Westfield, a note"
"A note? Can you not give me some sort of transaction number or something, so Westfield can track down my transaction on their system?"
"Yes, I can do that!"
"Finally, that is all needed. Not someone who doesn't know the company's refund policy and customer skills! He's shocking!"
"I'm sorry about that, but this is all I can do. I know it's a hassle but here you go"

He gave me my original receipt for the store and the transaction details for the Westfield transaction.

I thank him and walked away.

I SWEAR DOWN, that fucking prick pissed me off sooooo much! I'm still brewing about it now. Someone as stupid as him should be shot. What a dickhead!


Yes, You, Omar at Vans store, Carnaby! You dickhead!

This blog was a time for me to let it all out. WANK STAIN MAN!!!!! =(

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, London.

I must have a go on the ice rink and go on the giant wheel before it closes on the 4th January!



Now, where's my Santa who will take me? x

Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon is having an exhibition at the Tate this month and next.

He is famous for his disturbing pictures, which all have faces of a fu*ked up crack head.
The most controversial one has to be this one of the Pope!



He can't be as messed up as me right?

Let's go!

Never Again

DO NOT...
leave your Christmas food shopping last minute!

I did that mistake...

=S

I'll still bang out the BEST Christmas dinner tomorrow though! =)

Memories. . .

I was conversing with a fabulous friend of mine the other night over dinner and the subject of an ex came up. We spoke about his family and where they are now. Hopefully you are doing well and doing what you've always wanted to do.
The subject of the brother, who was in UK Hip hop group, Terrafirma came up.

I remember the days I would go to Cargo to support you, and the odd trips to Milton Keynes! God damn!

This song was such a hit back then!

Let's get old skool!



GET ME BLAD! x

The crackers and the Meat! lol

Bring on Thursday!

Be A Gooner, Be A Giver. . .

I was reading the Metro paper yesterday and saw the best campaign EVER!

The best team in the world, Arsenal Footbal Club have joint arms with Teenage Cancer Trust to provide support and help with the trust.



I feel this is such a great opportunity for you guys out there to contribute to a charity, if you haven't done so already!
Suffering from cancer myself, I can relate and want to thank you in advance if you donate!

GO ON!!!!!!

Super Girl?

Today, a very close, sweet friend of mine called me Super Girl and said I was?

I find that hard to believe but really do wish I was. I'll have the powers to freeze things, and maybe time hopefully? Have X-Ray vision. Laser eye malarke so I can burn the mother fuckers out there. Obviously lift crazy heavy buildings from young innocent people and FLY!!!

Flying would be amazing. Having that power to escape where no one else can go. Overlook what's happening in life. See life in a very different perspective.

I wish Super Girl existed, and I was her! =(



Thanks though J. That made me smile! =)

I Love It!

No matter what sort of mood I'm in, happy, sad, energetic, depressed or blank. I can always switch on my favourite song, Radiohead, High and Dry...

It's fucking amazing!
It got through a rough stage about 3 years ago, where I was in a predicament and was seriously hurt. Listening to this track, yes, is pretty depressing, but the lyrics hit you and you realise that theres positives at the end of your hurt.

Have a listen...



My all time favourite song. =)

I Could Do With Some Coke. . .

A Coke FLOAT people!



Hmmmmmmmm

=)

Only 2 Days Left! =(

I have only 2 days left to organise all what I have to do before Christmas. I have Friday and Sunday off only to get any last minutes presents and any food shopping before Tescos aisles are empty!

My mum, little brother Dylan and little sister Mylan are off on hols on Sunday (so my sister and I are alone this Christmas AGAIN!) so I can't get my mum to do any last minute errands for me!

Oh god!

The end of the year has come around so fast!

I don't like it! =(

Miss Incomplete. . .

Wow, it's been well over a week since I last blogged, and it's been emotional...
The past week has been crazy. Ups and downs, highs and serious lows, BUT I still have the energy to blog!

Yesterday, it hit me hard. I broke down, I broke down like a bitch. I cried all day and I couldn't stop. Losing my bestest and the actual reality of having cancer hit me hard. Hard like a canon ball blasting through Hadrians Wall, but instead, inside me, to my heart.

I never cried when I was told I had cancer. I took it on the chin and walked out thinking,
"Hmmmm, oh shit!" and went to get something to eat. I think I was in denial and didn't let it sink for me to think about it.
I don't think I ever took it seriously and only realised today that it's something terrible that I have and I can't control.

From 12pm onwards yesterday, I cried and cried my eyes out. Not only because I was alone battling this massacre but because it hit me that I can't deal with it anymore...
Uni, work, cancer, family, credit crunch, friends, essays and projects were getting

"WARNING OVERLOAD!"

I cried because I thought I was a stronger person and that I could handle it, but to be honest, I think I was allowed to cry.
I know I'm not a child, I know I'm not a baby who cries all the time, and I know I can handle it. I handled it before, so I'm sure I can still.

I honestly felt suicidal, depressed and alone that no one understood how I felt or no one knew what I was going through. I cried in bed and actually cried to sleep! (oh shit!)
Luke was pretty good to me that day, because he told me positive words and made me kick back into reality and know about myself. He's not all bad. =)

Later that evening my older cousin (sorry for mentioning OLDER cuz! Hehel) called me to see how I was, and yep, I broke down. We had a real heart to heart and I was able to cry and she was able to listen to me babbling on crying every 5 minutes . (Thanks) She told me wise words, which I will use to get me moving forward.

"This two shall pass..."

This too shall pass, basically means that all things go to history in their own time, and something will take it's place that will also pass on to history.

It's a great saying and I will always remind myself of that! Just like when Luke told me about the "Self fulfilling prophecy".
I will always remember that Luke... =)

Anyway... after a heart to heart and a over the phone lecture on art history, I went to bed. Or well I wanted to. I stayed up all night and didn't get any kip till 7.30am. Even speaking to Julia from university at 5 in the morning! I was shocked that she was still up! lol.

That day, Tuesday 16th December, I cried. I was weak, I was alone, I was suicidal, I was depressed BUT I was still alive and still at 22, had the future ahead of me...

Look forward and think positive. =)

Merkle!

Today was the most busiest day of MY LIFE!!!
The store was soooooo busy! Too busy for my liking!
With 6 people in, it still wasn't enough!
From going back and forth to get an item for the customer, up and down the stairs to get stock, to folding and folding and folding like you've never folded before was a killer!
My manger was going around feeding us Galaxy chocolate to keep us going, which I thought was quite funny and yummy! =)

We killed it though! On target throughout the week, and we ended it on.....

over £12,000!!!! Whoop whoop!

And I will start of the new target tomorrow, when I buy my new trousers! lol

Well done girls!

(This post was so pointless! lol)

Now Please Stop Ringing. . .

Now after that surprised text...
Please stop ringing!

It's taking you this long? All those years?

Please stop!

A Surprise Text!

Yesterday while at work, I checked my phone on my break....

A random number came up which I did not recognised. I received a text message from it also. It read:

"Hi.how r u?mis u 2 alot.love u.dad" (that was the exact text!)

I was surprised, dead surprised, but not surprised at his texting skills, as he still doesn't seem to get the hang of it!

I Love You!



Love Dylan =)

Treatment

For the past 2 weeks, I have been having my treatment! It's been an experience to say the least!
Being told you have cancer, at 22nd is the fucking worse! No doubt about that!
But hey, I'm on the mend to getting myself fit and healthy!

Every Monday I have to go and have Radio Therapy. It like being under a sun-bed, which I find quite funny!
Only thing when you have Radio Therapy is that you come out with terrible headaches and redness in the affected areas!
It doesn't look great! =(

My treatment doctor is really nice. Cracks jokes to make me feel better and gives me a helping hand if you know what I mean! Only kidding! But yeah, I have a good team to help me at the moment!

Here's how a Radio Therapy machine looks like!
I go on one exactly like that, but apart from the dog being there, it'll be ME!!!!!



I do wonder how long I have to keep doing this and if it will work.

Love is...

Love is....

Loads of mini chocolate donuts in a box! (and they have to be mini!)



I have been having a real crave for these lately, from the trip to Tescos to just buying junk, to going to every supermarket to try out their version! Tesco's one's are by far the best!

The ones pictured are from Sainsbury's Camden...
Instore now....

Grab them, before I do!

p.s They much nicer to you than boys are!

First Post for December!

OMG! It is actually the 1st of December! How time flies so quickly!
I wish it didn't!

=(
