Week One Complete

What a week.

First few days were crazy...

NIGHT ONE started off with us all congregating in my room and having a few drinks. Army ´gear out in force. Hit the town then, and hard.

Went to Yates first -- great bar. Took part in a drinking game where I had to put one guys sock over a pint and knock it back. Ugh, cheesey beer. Came second so the third and last guy had to do a forfeit. ie on his back and make female orgasm noises. Hmmmmm.Funny.

Cant remember much from the night but it was class. Second night out was pretty much the same minus the fancy dress.

We also went on a booze cruise 2 days ago. Locked by 5pm and walking back to the apartment and then to a chinese buffet place which was so weird. Steve would like it though as its only 6.50 for all you can eat. ahha

First night in work was soooo tough. Very nerve racking at first but once I got talking to a few people it was all ok. Thought Id have to be twisted to do this but I ended up being quite sober. Hassling people can be fun. Zero money made. The guys are worried about lack of money being made but Im ok, I like a challenge. Gonna stick this job out for at least a week and then find another if things dont improve. Bar work in an irish bar is possible as Im irish so weçll see about that.

Actually tried the dubliner bar and the manager took my number so maybe... That place is amazing. You cant smoke in there like back home and drink is pricey, like back home also but its the best fun... oh and dave I was talking to 2 9s in there the two nights I was in there.

Really have to find a gym as Im losing size. 40 euro for a month isnt bad... maybe tomorrow Ill locate it.

Anyway, time is running out on this computer so Ill say adios amigos. See ya soon

One Week & Apartment Mates Revealed!

One week to go now and it's starting to kick in!

Some nerves are rearing their rather ugly heads but I know that's just my stupid mind not wanting to get out of it's comfort zone! You're doing this mothafukka -- whether ya like it or not! :D

Have to go downtown tomorrow to shop for some clothes and get a final Wexford-type haircut (who knows what I'll end up looking like?!) haha.

Also this week, my new flatmates were revealed to me via a facebook email from Playaway Tenerife...

They are...

DRUM ROLL!!!

Alex and Allan. Don't know much about these boyos but they'd better be sound... or else! :D

Now, to calm me even further and make me forget all my worries, I present to you this amazing image... ahhhhhh Miranda...

2 Weeks To Go -- Yeah!

Job notice handed in. *Gulp*

All my baggage arranged. *Check*

Money situation looking swell. *Ching*

Lads coming over 23rd June. *Meh!* ;)

Good stuff. *True, true*

Let's go! *OK!*

Recession hits Tenerife -- But Not My Motivation

Been doing a lot of research recently and it seems the Island is dead at the minute (early May).

Thankfully I'm not heading until early June, so hopefully things will pick up by then.

I'm going all out to make a go of this and will have a job within 5 days of hitting the island.

If absolute worst comes to worst -- it'll be a long holiday (5-6 weeks). But that's not an option right now... it's all about work, work, work for me. Not leaving a secure job to bum around and waste money.

BRING IT!!! GRRRRRRRR!!!

It's Paid!!!

Hauled myself out of bed this morning to go to the Bank. Transferred 550 big ones to Playaway so it's finally... OFFICIAL!!!


All paid for! 6 weeks and counting...

It's Official!

As of today, the dreary 3rd of April, I have officially booked my Playaway Tenerife spot and Aer Lingus flight!

Not long to go now.

Woot!

Mt. Teide

Wanna see this mofo when I go over too, she's called Mount Teide!

Time to Get Serious - Raaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Went downtown this morning to get the old grauig chopped and decided to go for a spin on the way home as it was such a wonderous day.

That feeling of summer start kicking in -- warm sun on a shiny new Saturday morning does a lot for your soul.

Ergo, the feeling of summer + it being late March = Time to Book this Mother!!!!

After renewing my car insurance to the tune of €580 I decided I would dent my bank account further by signing up with PLAYAWAY TENERIFE...

Voila! :

... yup. My interest has been registered! Have to pay the fecks now though! :(

Money situation is... OK. Xbox isn't sold yet but Steve has bought my exercise bike off me. A few expenses - that I didn't forsee! - arose in the past few weeks but I should be A-Ok to support myself over there come late May.

As an added incentive to get my ass in gear I will post up the following sacred image:

... (See YOU on the beach honey!) ;)

Money, money, moneeeeeeeeyyyyy!

So, to get to Tenerife you need some moolah. Who would have thought?!?!


Saving hardcore at the minute; Hed Kandi night in Anu Bar OUT THE WINDOW Bringing loadsa cash out with me on Saturday night OUT THE WINDOW Buying loads of amazing clothing to compliment my super-buff bod OUT THE FUCKING WINDOW :-(

Some web design jobs will provide much needed funds towards my expediation. Also got idiot-boy James to buy my Xbox off me for a CUT PRICE DEAL (You owe me fat-head). And narky-Steve gets my prized possession... MY EXERCISE BIKE (Hope it falls apart Barney!) ;)

So yeah, cash coming in thick and fast.

Interesting times ahead...

27 January - 4 months to go!

Folks in work are handing in their chosen holiday dates for the summer like there's no tomorrow -- warning me not to double book or else... gulp! Little do they know I won't even be here in rainy old Ireland come late May. Instead I'll be soaking up the sunshine, sipping my cocktails, FINALLY getting something that resembles a tan and working (if you can call it that!) in the balmy evening heat of the holdiay Isle they affectionately call... The Reef!


I have begun the painful process of saving my hard earned moolah to fund my party ways. Hopefully I'll hit my €2,500 target come 26 May. Lots of partying to be done in the meantime mind... so it's not all that bad -- watch out Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford and maybe even Dublin -- I ain't left the nest yet. ;)
