THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ONE

I have like, no words for how awesome this is.
Try this Doreen. I found out about it when I worked at Jubbs longevity. There is absolutely no aftertaste and a bottle lasts forever. I've been using it for years. Lucky Vitamin has amazing prices on many things too.

Careless whispers, have you ever seen the video, and tell me you didnt feel sad, that he lost forever his love for his one night of wickedness with that she wolf??
OMG that Ramones song is very soft rock. Its so romantic of course, and happy YES YES YES we could listen to that all day couldnt we
This day sounds amazing. It is making me want to be more fruity.
And they are raw?? I feel like I have seen them at TJ's but for some reason I did not think they were raw. This is exciting. That sounds so good right now.
wowowowow
I was at my friends
tonight and she had a pack and I opened one up with a nutcracker, omg. Is it a nut? Its so meaty and you don't have to cook or boil. I was so happy. I took them with me to my new house and I love them.
Have you ever??
Wow this is nice.

wowsers i didn't realise how multicultural russia was but i suppose i suspected it as it's a huge country and there is no way there wasn't a mix of races going on. it's funny in taiwan or india, when you say you're australian, they say things like "but you don't look australian" or when i say i'm malaysian, they say "how come you look like us?" they don't have this concept that you can be of a different race from the majority.
which part of russia did you grow up in, then?
i'm chinese through and through, apparently! haha but i was born in malaysia (i'm third generation) and when i was 12 went to australia for boarding school, university and then i worked for a bit. so i really do think of myself as an australian.. and i'm hoping to move back in oct to apply for citizenship. i'm not a big fan of malaysia, due to politics, religion and just the attitude of people there, so i'm gettin' out. my parents and siblings still live there but.. i think they mostly understand my sentiments.
malaysia mostly consists of malays, chinese and indians, as well as the aboriginal orang asli (who like most abo communities, get treated badly and live poorly). the malays are the dominating race, they pretty much get things easier than the rest of us, have special banks, and it's a muslim country so things are getting more and more extreme. chinese are prob next and then indians are considered "lower". our govt tries to promote multicultural harmony but in reality that is not how it always works.. thus most of my chinese malaysian friends moving countries as soon as they can. also, there is a big class system, family system thing going on so everyone knows about everyone and i can't stand all the judgement. but you know, i suppose i haven't given it enough time.. or patience..
i want to build an ecovillage and it's just not going to work in malaysia right now, so i want to start out in oz and see how it goes.
i used to write a lot too and i love the way the english language works, but now i mostly write music and use lyrics to express myself.. then again i think the message is more important. you should get back to writing! creativity is so essential
i'm studying chinese language in taiwan, but this is also a stepping stone to something else, it has given me time to consider life and where i want to go without upsetting my parents (they were also into me studying chinese! at least we agreed on that). i'm here till sept them back to kl, then probably back to melbourne. i actually graduated from university in 2004, i have a degree in western medicine, but that too was just a stepping stone! ayurveda is my next field of study i think.
what about you? what are you up to?
hope you had a good sleep :)
peace and love
durian .. well i grew up with the stuff obvs, it's so easy to get in malaysia but i was never allowed to eat much, as my mum would be like "it's fattening" hehe but now i try to eat it when i can. it's glorious but not everyone's cup of tea!
it's interesting that megre's style is so terrible in russian, but i suppose he wasn't an author, just someone trying to get the message across. the english translation is not linguistically beautiful but it still makes me cry and i still think it is beautiful. language is simply a machine to get across what we mean so as long as it makes us "feel" and we get the inner sound i don't think it needs to be overly beautiful. as much as i love literature!! maybe try reading the english version?
wow that is interesting, i don't think i've ever met a person of korean heritage whose family has lived in russia for generations- is that common? is russia quite multicultural? i know, i'm ignorant!! but that is very cool.
i gotta go back to class but love talking to you!!
:) xo
Thanks for the kelp noodles link :-)
Btw how long have you been doing the raw thing?
Rock on, sista!
