If there is one thing I suffer from it’s most definitely procrastination. Dear me. I have had this layout up for ages (well before I went on holiday) and I even wrote a blog entry, yet, due to my laziness I couldn’t be bothered to fix some issues with the layout and so until now it’s been on maintenance mode.

Oh well, I know there are some things I need to fix but for now I can’t be bothered and so I will slowly fix any issues. Feel free to point any out so I can add them to the list.

Anyway, new domain and new blog. I imported my old blogs as I felt unlike gypsy-rose.org where I wanted a clean new start this time I wanted to bring that past with me. Hope you all like the layout. It won’t be up for long as I will be changing it with a layout with some pics I took in Mauritius.

Yep I have just had a week holiday in the lovely land of Mauritus, where it was hot, hot and even more hot (they were in winter and I was already melting). The resort we stayed in was lovely, it was a small hotel but really cosy. The staffs were lovely and really friendly. That is one thing which really impressed me about the hotel, their willingness to sort things out and dealing with hysterical women who see a lizard in their room and demand to change rooms *cough* But that minor problem aside it was lovely there. The beach is so clean and the sand is so white. I swear I it was so amazing and man the ocean! It was really nice to swim in, a bit cold when you first go in but you soon climatise.

We didn’t just stay on the beach, we went for a few trips. There was this park with some mild tame lions and we got to stroke them! We couldn’t do the walk with lions as you need to book like 2 weeks in advance but we did get to go to the encounter and stroke them. I was actually really scared. It was so scary ‘cos we were walking around the enclosure with the guide and we looked up in the tree and saw 3 other lions there that we didn’t see before. My sister stroked on of them (my mother and I were like no) and she got brushed off by their tail it was so funny. Can’t wait to upload the photo of that, they will be all be on my facebook.

The last trip we did was to go in a submarine. It was so cool we went down 30m under the sea. Saw loads of fish and some reefs. One of them was a shrunken ship, known as the Mauritius Titanic (it has its real name but I’ve forgotten). We also saw some anchors and some natural reefs, which were quite rare on this part of the ocean. Managed to see a spine fish, some really weird coloured fish and an eel. There were also some really horrible gold fish (not like the ones in a bowl) there were yellow and white and all resting on this reef. The guide told us they were tired of swimming and so were resting. I thought if I looked as horrible as that I would be resting permanently or something. Sadly, though, I am not sure if the pictures came out clearly, as we were underwater but I will still upload them.

The flight going to Mauritius was lovely. We flew Air Seychelles and the air hostesses from London to Mauritius were really lovely. Since we got a brilliant price we did have a long journey as we had to stop in Milan and then again in Seychelles (omg that ocean).
Unfortunately coming back wasn’t as nice. The ground staff in Seychelles are rude, lazy and down right stupid. So I have written a complaint letter about the problems we encountered (I am not going into it on this blog as it will take over. Will probably save it for another) so I just need to type it up and email it to them.

So now it’s back to reality of cold miserable England (damn this horrible rain) and work – yuck. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I want to go back and sit on the beach and do nothing all day but I can probably guess you can imagine it so. Ah well, next beach holiday will definitely have to be the Maldives with Sri Lanka thrown in. But I think our next holiday (for me at least as my mum and sister are already going away to their respective holidays in November) will be my birthday time (unless something else happens by them) and it will be too Dubai. We all really want to stay at the Atlantis hotel. Water parks, how cool! Can’t wait till May now.

Rah, back with a new layout as you can see. Rather proud of it actually, though it was a bitch at times to code. For some reason the bottom sidebar refused to stay in colour. Ah well, worked out all okay and I hope it looks all right in your browsers. Any problems just let me know.

So these past few weeks have been interesting, from having a slightly disastrous date, to me having a melodramatic tantrum fit (eh nothing new there) to um err actually not going shopping for two whole weeks. SHIT two whole weeks and I haven’t been to the Trafford centre, arrgh not wonder I feel like crap! Oh well, I know what my plans are this week.

But yea, not really wanting to go into it, mainly because I am so over it (the date) and I know that I was right (the melodramatic tantrum) about the situation so yea, it’s all good.

Anyway moving on, I’ve decided I need to be doing more with my life so that means less browsing the internet (I can so see this not happening) to more studying (I know for a fact this won’t happen). But seriously I need to get more focused with my life, I need to actually do something, I am going to be 28 this year and I need to actually say I’ve done something different than from when I was 26/27. So that basically means that nothing will happen, I won’t do anything and by this time tomorrow I will decide than I can’t be arsed (yep, I can really see this happening). :grin:

Nah, I need to get a bit more study in my life, I’ve only really been doing about an hour or so here and there in the week and it’s not good enough. I plan to really knuckle down and learn some PHP so I can get my portfolio back up. And with that decision I’ve decided to let my old portfolio domain name go as it’s time for a change … nothing to do with the fact I bought another domain name that I have no use for so I decided to use that. No I would never be that irresponsible *coughBULLSHITcough* Actually that’s not quite true, I’ve always wanted a domain name with my name in it and so my favourite domain extension and my name were free so how could I not buy it? Although I was planning on using it for my blog but then I wouldn’t know what to do with this name so I thought I would make hkarim.net a parkon domain name and have it point to huma.me so they can both be used for the same thing? Or maybe I will turn huma.me into my blog, although I won’t be getting rid of any of my .me domain names, I love them too much. Although if I decided to turn huma.me into my blog I may give away glum.me, hmm oh well we shall see. [edit] Not going to be renewing hkarim.net, will be using huma.me as my portfolio, sorry had to clarify as I got some emails regarding glum.me.

Anyway, better stop there before I ramble on with .me domain names and yes, I can really go on and on. Oh just had to plug my hosting site, and welcome my new hostee to the network. I am hope it finally picks up a bit as I have loads of space on here so.

Right best get back to playing SoulSilver studying.
