DREAM CAR COME AT ME!


As I am coming up to sending my log book a way I have been looking around for a good first car. I am absolutely in love with Nissan Micras either cream or pink. But before I go into my obsession of these beautiful cars I should probably explain what a log is for those who read my blog and don't live in Australia. Im not exactly sure if anywhere else in the world do what we do before we get our licence but anyway, I thought I'd share what you have to do to get your licence.
We have to wait until we are 16 to take a test which is a learners test that contains 30 questions all about road safety and rules of the road.  You can only get two wrong out of the 30 questions to pass. Luckily for me I got 30 out of 30 right. After the test you get given a log book which you must fill out every time you drive. The photo below is what the log book looks like inside and what you have to fill out.


You have to get up to 100 hours of driving all up (80 Day time hours and 10 night time hours) before you can go for your Provisional Licence. It is actually hard work getting 100 hours. But then theres the Provisional test which can be hard, just depends how confident you are. When you reach 100 hours and you are confident with all the different types of parking and all the things that driving entails then you send your log book a way and it gets approve. Which means if all the hours you've logged are legit. At that time you set up a Provisional driving test. When everything has been approved then you go on your test with a Driver instructor who tells you what direction to go, where to park, where to make a u-turn etc. If the driver instructor is happy with how you went then you get your provisional licence which means you won't need an adult to supervise your driving. You are capable to drive all on your own. Theres probably a few things that I've missed out or haven't explained well but you get the gist of it all.

Now, to my obsession with Nissan Micras. I currently have over 80 hours of driving so I'm nearly there. I just need to get a few more night hours and some lessons on parking and I will be set and driving on my own in know time. I think Nissan Micras are the cutest little cars and I believe it'd suit me perfectly. As long as has an aux cord in it which I can stick my iPod into, I'll be one happy chappy. Fingers crossed that my dad will be kind enough to help me buy this car. And dad if you read this, this is bit is purely for you to read and from me I'm saying wink wink nudge nudge.

So there you have it blogging readers. That is how people in Australia get there licence. 
Untill my next blog. xoxo

My dad

The most amazing man in my life - Mark Eddis Shellshear

My baby years

"

Graduating high school - 2012

My dad is the most inspirational, strongest, caring, warm hearted and greatest man that has ever been in my life. He has sacrificed a lot in his life, in our life so that I would have the best future, the best education and the best up bringing that he could possibly give me. As a single parent, he did nothing less then love me, care for me, provide me all the things that I needed. But he was more then just a dad but a friend. Someone I could always rely on. Always come to when needed. Always a shoulder to cry on. He has always been there for me, no matter what time, no matter what day, no matter what situation. He has done an incredible job bringing me up and I can't  thank him enough. I honestly owe him the world. He's the best father I could ask for. Best person to rely on and the best friend a girl could ever have.

Pondering my future...

So,

I have come to the conclusion to what I want to be like in the future and what my career goal will be. I know that I love the business world and being in a business as well as studying it. I know that when I truly love something and want something I want stop until it happens. I believe everyone should be like that. 
I know that I love planning and organising anything. As well as decorating anything. I've pondered my future for so long now and each year it changes. One minute I want to go to university and the next I don't. One minute I want to vet and the next I want to be an air hostess. I believe no one my age (17) should have to know what they want to be and be told that they should know. It's a hard decision for a young person to even begin to know what they want in life. I know that ever since I was a little girl my choice of my future has changed so many times and it wont surprise me if it does again. But, I've never been so excited about a decision before..... I think I want to do events planning. Something in that region anyway. I have a long future ahead. No one knows whats going to happen. The beauty about the future is, it's so unpredictable. Maybe that's a good thing but maybe its not. I know I'm not a surprise lover, actually, I absolutely hate surprises but it is interesting to see and wonder what anyones future will be like. 
Just thought I'd keep you all updated on my thoughts.
Until next time.
Take care.

Mooloolaba Adventures

When my best friend Luke Clohessy comes to visit we always go on spontaneous adventures and one of our fun adventures that we went on few weeks ago was to Mooloolaba. For those who have been to Mooloolaba or who live there would know it's a beautiful place but also it can be very crowded at times. Luckily when we went it wasn't too bad.
As you can see by the photos below we went for  a walk on this path that followed the beach around in which we ran into a lot of bush turkeys and baby turkeys too. Also, we ran into this cute little possum sleeping in a tree. A little unusual to see in the day time where it is so exposed, but we all see strange things now and then. We also had some Gelatissmo ice cream but if you haven't had Milano Gelato yet from Caloundra, Sunshine Coast.. You have not had the best ice cream yet. And I am not being bias just because I work there, but because it honestly is the best gelato around. You will just have to try it out for yourself.
All in all it was a great adventure. It's always good catching up with Luke as I only see him on the weekends because he moved a way to Brisbane for training and study. But it's always a blast when we catch up. Im sure all you bloggers out there have a friend or a few that are just always fun to be around and you treasure each moment you spend with them. 
Until my next post or even adventure I shall leave you all to your day.
Have a beautiful day internet world.

Valentines Day

Okay, so I know I'm a little late on the valentines post but I still thought 'Why not post about my Valentines Day'.
I didn't have a huge Valentines like some people would have because I had a job interview at lunch time that went for at least half an hour and my boyfriend had work at 5pm till about 10pm at night. But when we could have time together I enjoyed my surprises.
The night before Valentines I stayed up till midnight because I was that eager to find out my surprise. I walked up stairs to find that I had a rose petals leading up to my room, all over my bed which then led to one rose, my favourite chocolate, a new pillow to go with my new bed spread, a card and a little note book all laying on my bed with cute little lanterns above.
That was a very cute surprise.
Then, after I came back from my interview in the afternoon I got greeted at the door by my boyfriend who was completely dresses up who handed me flowers and led me towards the kitchen where I found a freshly cooked meal which was my favourite meal and a beautifully decorated table. 
I could not have asked for a better surprise.
I am definitely one lucky girl.

Surprise number one

Surprise number two

Job hunting

So, obviously you can tell that I haven't been blogging heaps lately and that's because I have been busily applying for jobs and getting my resume up to date.
As some people would agree it is insanely hard to get a job for a just graduated student, especially if you live on the Sunshine Coast. It is merely impossible to get a job. But, luckily I was offered a trial at this Italian gelato place called Milano Gelatissimo where I live and two was my second day as yesterday was my first day at work. Today, I found out that I got the job, so now I am an ice cream girl.   But, as well as getting the job today I got a phone call from another job that I had applied online with and they asked me to come in for an interview tomorrow. I am so very excited. At the same time I am also nervous. I guess, I will just have to put on my big smile tomorrow and hope for the best.
I wonder, if I do get the job at this place I'm getting interviewed at, will I be able to handle both jobs? or would I have to take one and have to turn down the other? As much as I wouldn't want to do that to either of them. I must do what's best for me.
So, this that is the reason why I have not been blogging lately.
I have busily been out working and looking for jobs.
Until next time internet world, take care.
