The "F" Word

Greetings fellow bloggers/blog readers, I'm back! :)

While I was checking through my Dashboard this afternoon, I realized that I haven't been on the internet for freaking ages so I decided to make a few changes to my life on the web. The World Wide Web has so many things to offer, from entertainment to educational purposes, shopping or news and current affairs + so much more and I was using only two of them; Shopping and entertainment (Facebook and Youtube). My first maneuver would probably be the hardest to maintain (and the biggest change) -scratch that- WILL be the hardest to maintain. But having said that, I've got the power (and so does everyone else) to try. So here it is...
I deactivated my Facebook account.

Yep. I went there girlfriend!
 I figured that the only reason I'm ever on the web was to check my notifications, inbox messages or friend requests. Most of the time I'd be on Facebook all day and have absolutely shit all to do, but for some spastic reason, I'd still be logged in.  It was a waste of precious study time, family time and time to go out and see my friends in human form and to me, they were legitimate enough reasons to stop this social addiction. I have a strong feeling that a lot of people will get ridiculously attached to Facebook in a way that they feel life without it is nothing. No job, no friends, no entertainment, no awareness of current events, nothing. I certainly don't want to be solemnly dependent on an internet social network, even if it is global.
This also gives me more time to check my more important accounts like Hotmail, G-mail and Shopbop.

The second change I made wasn't as drastic as the first one but it did the job. After many years of disuse, I finally deleted my Myspace account. Until yesterday I forgot it even existed! So yeah that got rid of a lot of junk mail that looked so retarded. When I'd check my Hotmail I'd see things like;
 ("<3 I love you babe, you are the one 3/2/2007) Amanda was ere hacked by the most awesomest person ever!!!!!!!- i LoVe YoU hUgH A&f- Has written a comment on your photo."
 It gave me a headache. But now I won't have to worry about that sort of thing anymore so I can put the aspirin away woooh!!

This was my embarrassing display picture on my Myspace account... yeah I was pretty cool -.-' Raiding Toys 'R' Us was my thang! 
My third and last change is probably my most favored, to commit to my Blog more often. To feed the people a little bit of daily juice and laughter, give people information about things that don't concern them in any way, shape or form and just improve my typing skills. Hahaha! And I like writing about my thoughts, it's pretty cool having a personal diary that isn't really personal.


So everyone should be expecting a lot more text messages and blog entries and a heap less of Tagged photos and Inbox's.
That is all for now, speak to you guys soon ;)

Adios Amigos, Keep on stuttin'!

With a little help from my friends.

Today my family and my best friend's (Vera) family decided to attend the Albanian Harvest Festival in Shepparton. I'm going to start by saying this, the drive pretty much sucked the life out of me before we even got there. For those who don't know, Shepparton is approximately 214 Km's away from Melbourne.

You know when you're in a car for so long your ass gets numb and you start to lose feeling in your knees? Yeah, that's pretty much what happened to Vera and I. We had to wake up and prepare ourselves so we could leave the house by 9.30am which was a hassle in itself and spend the next two and a half hours in the car with Jack all to do.

We got there and realised that there was nothing to do but watch farmers sell their stock and listen to a lame attempt at entertaining the crowd with shit music. We ran into our lovely friend Lirije and spent the day with her. Things got a whole lot funner from here.

From starting the Valle (traditional Albanian dance) to speeding down main roads in Harley Davidsons' we had an absolute ball. Having ridden a motor bike more than 10 years ago I was ecstatic to hop on once more. We rode in a team of 4 which consisted of Vera, Lirije, Bahrije (Lirijes sister) and myself, all glammed up and pretty close to passing out with every corner we turned.
It felt amazing and so carefree riding on a bike with the wind in your hair, warm sun on your skin, fresh crisp breeze of the country-side in your lungs and such a beautiful view.

 It felt like I was flying.

I got off the bike with knots in my helmet hair, a dry mouth and I had to check if I had peed my pants, it was that exhilarating! From that moment I knew it was my calling to be a temporary biker chick... doubt that I'd get far with that idea though, ah well!

But anyway I had an unexpectedly awesome time meeting new people and owning the dance floor with the girls once again. Although this was a great day, it had set a very high standard for Albanian festivals so if I don't see any flash motor bikes or wicked dance music, expect me to have a BF... Bitch Fit.

Albanianism

So I kind of have this super power and I think I'm ready to share it with everyone...just quietly.

By day I am a student/cool person and by night I turn into this crazy Albanian dance machine, it may be hard to believe at first but I completely understand what your going through, it took me a while to absorb what was happening too.

But I'm not alone, no no no. I am accompanied by some pretty attractive ladies and gents that also posses this skill. In alphabetical order the lovely dancers are: 
Agnesa, Ariana, Artan, Burim, Edis, Ellie, Emira, Hyrije, Kujtim, Lirije, Lume, Naser, Sara and Vera.

When we first started I think it'd be fair to say that everyone was a little uncomfortable in some sense but after our major performance at the Premier's Gala Dinner (March 19th, 2011) a whole year had passed and we were all a part of this big, Albanian dancing family...which is toats cool!

We have performed a fair bit and practiced endlessly, so if you see us on t.v or anything, dont be afraid to come up to any of us for an autograph or photo. It's okay, we don't bite :) Hahaha and if you ever have second thoughts on whether it's our group or not, you'll hear and see A LOT of struttin' and most likely get an invitation to our exclusive "Shardi Parties", that's if your lucky though.
But anyway if anyone from the group is reading, I want to say thank you for a great experience and you better  come to training biatches! And also to all of those who help us every week, we couldn't have done it with out you.

This is Blerta.

I've been reading a few of my friends' blogs and they seemed pretty rad so I thought I'd try it out.

These are some things that people may already know about me,but here it is for those who don't,  in a nutshell...for future references...maybe?

I come from a newly liberated country called Kosova (or Kosovo) and I live in a typical Albanian household. I have a pretty average sized family which includes my eldest brother Bujar, older sister Bujare and youngest brother, whom I cherish with all my heart, Pjeter, mother, father and Grandma. You could say we all get along, although like all families we have our little tiffs. I live with a bunch of hot tempers, it does run in the family but most of the time I'm considered the chilled one thats always smiling and laughing.

There is one fetish I posses that I could demolish whole city for, FASHION! Particularly the 50's era. 
The artistic aspect is phenomenal, materials are fascinatingly pleasant, the history is as detailed as every stitch you could count on a dress garment by Yves Saint Laurent or as exciting as Guissepi Zannoti's summer shoe collection. If I could achieve one thing in this world, besides world peace, it would be to buy the word "FASHION" and have my photo next to it where ever it is used, from catwalks to milk bars, EVERYWHERE.
I am not materialistic and I don't believe that someone should spend cash on what they want but don't need but if you need an item of clothing, stationary or electronics why not own a masterpiece that was made to satisfy your personal needs. I don't know about you, but I know I'd take a lot more care of my things if they were by Chanel or Miu Miu.

Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't go as far as to purchase a bobby pin for $80 just because they're designer...stuff like that is just nasty and not to mention an obvious rip off.
Moving along, all of my friends know how important loyalty is to me. It is as crucial to be loyal to your family, boy/girl friend, friends ect. as it is to be trustworthy. I am a person of my word and although I joke a lot and act really silly, people should know that what they tell me is for my ears only. It is never my place to say anything about anyone else's private life, anyones business at all for that matter and I expect the same courtesy  from everyone else.
Just know that I may come across as carefree but when I'm serious, I like to be taken seriously no matter what the circumstances may be.

Cool fact for ya, I actually like school! I just hate waking up so early every damn morning to prepare myself for it! I have a broad interest in random subjects but my favorite would have to be Studio Arts and History (and it is NOT because my teacher is gob-smackingly attractive, but because his teaching style is pretty awesome okay?! ) I attend Victoria University Secondary College - Brimbank Campus which people perceive as a "shit hole" but I like it here a lot more than my previous school Maribyrnong Secondary- education wise. 

Anyways I think I'll start to wrap things up a little, this isn't everything but I guess you'll read along the way and learn some new things about me eventually. 

I tend to learn new things everyday so I'll be posting fun facts/riddles at the end of each blog entry just for kicks mate!
Keep on struttin', adios amigos.
