…is the new address! The lovely Steph hosts me, and I’m really thankful for her, because I was a troublesome hostee to start with. Somehow wordpress didn’t work (I’m still not sure what I screwed up), and she had to reinstall it again. Now, I’m really, really careful with everything. Anywho, she was really kind, and that made me feel better about my fail at WP!

From now on, you can visit the blog here:

The Job Everyone Wants to Get

17Jan09

Personally, I’m a big fan of yahoo. Not because of its search engine (I prefer google), but the articles! And my mail, but that’s another thing. Anywho, I always take my time to catch up on Shine and the articles on the main page, because duh, I want to know what’s happening out there.

I found this article some days ago, and bookmarked it asap, knowing that I will definitely write a post about it. First of all, it’s about a job. And an interesting one.

“The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world.”

Hell yeah. Besides, it’s in Australia! As a child, I’ve always wanted to live there, I was totally addicted to it. (Can you be addicted to a continent/country, by the way?) Later, I decided to stick with New Zealand, because it’s not so dry, and a penfriend of mine told me that the beer was better there. Not like I drink beer. It’s just good to know.

“The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner’s home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland’s state government announced on Tuesday.

In return, the “island caretaker” will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of “a few minor tasks” — and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.”

Can I have it please?

Blondes vs. Brunettes

16Jan09

I had to delete a whole paragraph saying that “by the time you read this post, I will be sitting in my hairdresser’s comfty chair, and my blonde hair will be about to become brown”, because I’m a brunette, already. I wanted to post this some days ago, but I had to make another appointment with my hairdresser, because of various problems, and so, it wouldn’t have made any sense. Anywho, I went today – and I must say, my new haircolour kicks ass!

“Naturally my hair has got this brownish colour, which is boring as hell, but this time it will become somewhat lighter and more… like a lovely haircolour.” I take this back – it’s quite dark. Like chocolate. Because, if she would have dyed it light brown, it would have faded away within some days – this way, it will take about 2 weeks, and then I need to go back again, to dye it again, until My Blonde Side gives this fight up, and lets me become brown. Light brown, probably.

I’m really in love with this haircolour, though, even if the first thought that came to mind while sitting in front of the mirror was “I look like a ghost. No… like that evil little girl from The Ring!” The fact that my hairdresser brushed my hair into my face didn’t help much, either.

Just like this and this post, this was taken from my other blog. And so will all other posts be, but only those under the Rosier Writes… category. Easy, huh?

Did you know that blonde hair and blue eyes are both caused by mutations? I first read this in National Geographic. Yeah, besides Joy and Glamour, I do read some scientific magazines. Although I’m blonde*. And blondes are stupid, right? Well, I learn 14 hours a day and read National Geographic. I guess I’m not a complete idiot, after all?

I’m so sick of stereotypes. Like brunettes are clever, redheads are hot, and blondes are just hopeless. Especially those, who dyed their hair this colour. My hair is naturally kind of brownish, but I decided to change it last year, because I knew that blonde would suit me, too, since I had this haircolour until I was 10.

I think personality is what matters, after all, because even if you change the colour of your hair, your inner-self will stay the same. It doesn’t give you a certain personality or attitude, but you might gain some self-confidence thanks to it. So don’t judge a book by it’s cover, dear readers!

Always keep this in mind: “I am not my hair, I am the soul that lives within.” – India Arie
*Note that this is a post from back then.
