At the end of 2007, I was lucky enough to be given a provisional offer through the REEP Application into the University of Ballarat. The offer is for Information Technology Professional Practice, this seems like a dream come true as this is my passion. Strangely I am not as excited as I thought I would be at getting into the course, I am not sure why this is. Maybe it's because I am being pushed further and further away from one's I respect and admire, my friends throughout Kindergarten, Primary School and College will always have a place in my heart and soul. All my values and what I stand for are all built upon every person who have come into my life. I cant express how much I appreciate everyone in this would being apart of my life.
Family Visit:
Kate my sister came down to visit for our family Christmas and to catch up, Thor (her boyfriend) came down and he is a classic. Great bloke! Kate took us (Tam, Thor, Jane and myself) to the races in Melbourne was awesome. I won enough to buy everyone drinks and a few bits of food. Our family Christmas was good, Tamara came down to Melbourne to enjoy the moment as well.
Welcome to 2008 my friends and what a year it is going to be!
To kick start my year I am working, woo hoo. I am working at IBM doing Call-center stuff at the moment and enjoying it very much!
I cannot believe how big IBM is, there are many companies I have researched and formed views on. IBM is one that I have not done so in depth, you don't have to look deep to find the vibe. If any of my friends are reading this they will know I am obsessed with a gaming company called 'Valve' this company in my eyes are like architects who are forming a unbelievable passionate community who love what they do. The company is simply a legend, creating a virtual world where anyone can create sound or visual entities. If a group of people do something amazing they notice, they do something about it, the company has worked with average blokes teaching and helping with their knowledge how to make that talent something special. Even bought their ideas, employed them and said have fun basically. IBM is a bit like Valve they are expanding but they are in touch, ideas and creativity are a reality. If something is not so good and there is room for improvement IBM has the processes in place to be able to evolve basically.
Wye River Holiday,
Yeah I know a holiday already and only just began work, Tamara's family go down to Wye river for a week so I tagged along with Tam. Had a great time swimming nearly every day, some good waves. I am thinking when I get some time I'll try learn to surf. Had an interesting conversation at one of the stores in Torque about Surf boards with a worker, he was telling me how one of his friends cuts the boards into three pieces and turns them into chairs and that the top of the surf board is "absolutely awesome for your back and your shoulders just sink into it perfectly." Caught some crabs on the beach there, John (Tam's brother) wanted crab meat and nowhere sold it so we ended up catching crabs. Did not eat them in the end Josh (Tam's younger bro) and I went back to the beach in pitch back and let them free. He had a conversation with me on the beach with I respected and thought not many people in this world would put themselves in the concept of an animal. He showed me that the world still does have passion, 'imagine if you were a crab and these big giants just took you away from your home, away from your family, how would you know how to get back home?'. If everyone thought like Josh the world would be a greater place.
Whats new?
Well I bought a new bike Trek 7000 its a bit heavy but its great. Going to use it for work, hopefully get used to getting to bed early and getting up at 5:30 for bike rides. One of the new years resolutions Tamara and I have is to get fit. So I want to get right into bike riding again. Maybe even get some mates riding doubtful but the thoughts there. Bought Tamara a PC for $20 not bad hey! It works, with screen! Its set up with a decent keyboard and mouse. That's about all that's new... I have an obsession with Skype I have bought $16 credit for it and well hey I love it. 2.7cents per minute to United Kingdom to my cousin, cant complain. Looks like in the future I am getting wireless broadband and a Skype phone. So cheap its not funny.
Philosophical thoughts (This might make more sense to other, because I don't know where it is coming from just random thoughts):
The eyes of a human can tell a thousand stories, the eyes of a human are not capable of lying.
You can tell when someone is losing their spark, their eyes go dull. Keep your eyes alive, thought creativity and imagination.
Most of all keep a burst of uncontrollable happiness in your eyes!
Last but not least have a good one!!!

Good blog babe.
I think your eye thoughts are sparked after watching the Island "You are lying, your face is smiling, but your eyes are not".
Im intrigued you forgot to inform your viewers of your magnificiant rolling down the hill on the go-kart :D While interrogating others in the park, flying around at 80km lol. :) As well as consuming numerous hot chocolates and cookies which you seemed rather fond of lol :p
Im sure you will find you more than enjoy Uni, especially when you show them all what you are made of.
Keep holding your head high babe, cos i am only one of the many who are proud of you and your success recently.
I love you with all my heart gorjuz xoxox
Its a whole new beginning. i have a saying that i posted on my mirror so that i could look at it every day and remember that this moving thing is a good thing.
There will never be a convenient time to move
and its true, but this is a beginning, not an end! you have probably noticed by now that most of your friends have changed, and you yourself might actually suprise yourself in how far you have come. I still remember the boy who got offended when i called him a nerd, now i call him all mannor of names.
And remember, i hav proven that the use of mobile phones, facebook, myspace and email can make loosing someone almost impossible these days. I seem to be able keep on terms with you, despite not being able to see you often.
and you might want to share some of your betting secrets... i suck at gambling lol.
" we ended up catching crabs " yes you do that boris....
"get used to getting to bed early and getting up at 5:30 for bike rides. " your as mad as a cut snake, thats BED TIME!
i think you should put up these stats for this computer... 166mhz 16mb ram lol
and the cream of the crop, Philosophical thoughts by Luke Stephens.... that borders on poetry as well, but i think that happiness is the only real comodity you ever need. if your happy, what else could you possibly want. seriously.
sorry about the length, i got into my course and look forward to seeing u around uni in the future
Boris in one word, sincere
PS: if you see sam moris at IBM, tell him i said hi.
