Media Action & Test

It's my first time participating in a 'media action'. Can't disclose too much here, but we were surrounded by reporters and cameras. Not sure if we made it to the TV news though.

Two days ago, David called me and asked if I would be interested to help out. My job was simple. I didn't have to speak out. I only had to hold a placard that said '[location] cares about affordable transport'. So there were about 20 of us, each holding a placard to represent different areas across NSW.

The whole thing only lasted for about 20 minutes. It was a fun experience though.

After the event, I lied  that I wanted to walk around the city. I actually made an appointment for a body check today.

It's been more than 3 months since the exposure. And the last test was done after 9 weeks. I want to be hundred percent certain, and I want to put this behind and move forward, without having to associate random symptoms i have with the exposure.

I went to a private practice this time, as opposed to free public sexual health clinics. But it was partially covered by Medicare (tests fully covered). The doctor, should be a gay, in his 40s, was a bit too long-winded with his attempt to build a good rapport with me.

I was feeling tired already, after having to wait for 20 mins even with an appointment. I just wanted to have the tests and leave. But he went on and on about what I am studying, etc...

Tried to take a nap when I reached home but just couldn't really fall into sleep. Still feeling tired throughout the evening. Didn't work on my research at all!

Had to listen to this horrible lady speak (she's totally like Umbridge in Harry Potter!) yesterday at the school.

Though everyone hated her the moment she opened her mouth, there were certain things that I thought were 'inspiring'.

Eg. what's the point of spending this year, if you can't get the top grade? Wouldn't it be better to stay at home and receive unemployment benefits?!! (WTF, it made me feel so stressed but it's kinda true)

And she did this calculation and informed us that in order to achieve that, we would have to spend at least 7-8 hours a day on our research project!

Obviously, I am not doing that today.

I have to change!! CHANGE!!!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...

Are you the ONE?

One thing being a gay and single is that, I tend to screen for prospective Bf, every single day, every single time a man, in the right age range walks past me. (Though the age range criteria has been relaxed most of the time) It wasn't this 'serious' in the past, my brain wasn't working like this... Now, it's getting a bit excessive sometimes. Stealing glances at random guys on the bus, in the park, around the neighbourhood, in the gym...And these glances are getting more and more 'advanced'. I know perfectly, where to scan, the legs, the butts, the triceps, the forearm, etc. I know the timing. I know where to sit on the bus so that I can have an easy access to the view. And most importantly, I acted as if I didn't care, with the cool face, acted as if I'm the least possible person to steal glances at random guys. Am I perverted? weird? desperate? Maybe it's the desperateness. With guys that I haven't met, I find myself having all the...
