Reesa & Lidya Wedding Dec 2008

As you have read from earlier posts, I was on my way to my cousin's wedding in Sydney - until I checked my ticket itinerary and realised I missed my flight. To read in detail how I right royally screwed myself in the buttocks - please read my earlier posting, because I'm not going to explain it again.

Anyways onto much happier news... I finally rounded up the photos from all the rellies and I have put together a very mini photo album of some of the events of the day.

I was actually VERY excited to go to Sydney to attend my cousin's wedding, I couldn't wait to play with my new toy (Nikon D80) thinking that I may possibly remotely be a wedding photographer one day. Well my mini dreams came to a crashing halt when I met Wiki and Llona - they are the husband and wife team who did the photos for Helen & Agus' wedding & Reesa & Lidya's wedding. They totally TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY.

Wiki is such a talented photographer and graphic artist- it just made me realise what a lil itty bitty amateur I was. And that folks is the reason I ended up taking so few photos of the wedding, I just thought I should leave the job to the professionals.

Anyways, here are the few photos I have put together as evidence of me making it to Sydney.

holy grail shoes

on the purse forum there is this term i have become familiar with ...

the "holy grail"

what does it mean?

it means the most coveted , most desired handbag or shoe or any other material object you deem unobtainable.

and this people is my holy grail of shoes...its the christian louboutin patent nude very prive shoes. yes lots of celebs own this shoe, yes there is a supa doopa crazy long waiting list for this shoe and yes it cost a small fortune. and yes... sigh sigh sigh... i can wish and dream of ever owning such a pretty and practical shoe (yeh right) ... oh well ... thats the reason why its a holy grail ....

why the interest in high heels? i have only very just recently got onto the hang of wearing heels, scary freaky high heels. and so i would like to expand my collection ... but i am so stingy... i could never part more then $100 for a pair of shoes...

Quick Update

Just a quick update, 3 lil baby puppies have gone to their new homes, we are very happy for them (because we know they are going to the best homes possible) and we are really sad at the same time. Our house is not the same anymore, only 2 lil bubs left and I think Daddy Boo knows that his gang of misfits is slowly dminishing.

Mr S really wants to keep his favourite puppy - lil Uno- but thats not possible since he is already sold, we will just have to put up with Pedro :).

Well if anyone is still interested lil Pedro needs a home!

luv.clio

im on holidays!!!

After a lot of drama, tears, head slapping and Homer style "D'OHs!!" I finally made it to Sydney.
As some people may or may not know, Miss Clio's life is full of "blonde moments".
I know I have dark jet black hair, but it doesn't always help me in the common sense intelligence department.

Anyways, to cut the story short, I missed my flight to Sydney for my dear cousins wedding.
YES - I missed the stupid freakin' flight that I have booked since Feb 08 - being the tight ass that I am, I tried to be super smart and super savy by booking 10 months in advance.

On the day I am suppose to fly out, I simply forget to check my itinerary until THE VERY LAST MINUTE (very typical me). Thinking I am due to fly out at 4:00pm, I madly print out my itinerary at 3:00pm and to my HORROR - I was suppose to fly out at 1:00pm!!!

ARGH!!! Did I really miss my flight? Dumb stupid shock over comes me - Called my brother to tell him - I think I have missed my flight - So I call Virgin blue just to confirm - and yup its true, Ms. W was a NO SHOW on the 1:00pm - I really did miss the 1:00 pm flight. There goes my 10 months of booking in advance for cheap tickets.

Called mum, dad, aunts and uncles to tell them I missed the flight and I don't think I will make it to the wedding. Only coz the tickets left are CRAZY EXPENSIVE due to silly holiday seasons.
However after a lot of convincing by mum and uncle - forcing me to buy the tickets for the flight - I made it to Sydney. (I really did not want to buy stupid $800 one way ticket to
Syd on Virgin Blue - Business class my ass - the only business class thing about my ticket was the freakin price!).

So here I am in Sydney, taking photos of the sights and scenes & generally being the corny tourist that I am.

luv.clio

ps: very windy at circular quay that day, hence the hair job.

Sale! Sale! Sale!

I'm soooo going!!

Do i need more clothes? - no
Do i have any money?- no

I'm just looking!!! won't cost me anything :oP
