I am very excited this week. I am getting ready my backpack ready, my passport and all the hostel reservations for my trip. You read correctly, hostels. My guy and I are backpacking to Malta for eight days.
I think is going to be a wonderful experience. Although he is a bit more posh than me when it comes to travelling, he likes his hotels, pools and comforts; but hopefully he will be OK with this new experience. I went backpacking before to Morocco with a female friend of mine, and the experience was amazing.
This time around, we are going a bit more prepared. That is, I have already made reservations for hostels, as whether we went totally unprepared and ready for adventure when we went to Morocco. Still, really looking forward to Malta.
A couple of days ago I closed my fingers in the door of the car. I almost broke my index finger, but luckily it didn't break. It stills all swollen and hurts a bit, but it will be fine in a couple of days. It is because of this that I haven't posted anything in the last few days.
Unfortunately, because of my trip to Malta, I won't be able to post anything in the next few days. If I can, I'll leave some posts prepared so they show every now and day while am away. Although, folks, I cannot promise it.
Have a nice week all, and I will see you again when I get back.

Zelomi is back!!
So sorry folks to have kept you waiting for so long for the next post. The thing is, I have been very busy. Between holidays, work, studying, guitar, a few other things, and of course, sex ;), I have been all over the place and unable to post as often as I would have liked. But here I am again today. So let me keep you up to date with what has been going on.
After mini holidays to Southampton, which, the main reason we went there was so my partner could arrange for a removal company to move all his storage staff into our current location (paid for by his company). All the boxes, aka crap, where laying around the house for a while, and it was mostly down to me to sort all the mess, since I work from home. Ahh, sigh..The good thing that has come from that, is that now we have a huge collection of DVD classics, along with my boyfriend's miniature helicopters, which he is teaching me how to fly.
I bought a treadmill for my birthday. That is, birthday present to self with sponsorship from my boyfriend. We got a pretty good deal on a refurbished one, that basically looks and works as brand spanking new. This babe is now listed as £299, but we paid £249 a couple of weeks ago when we did the purchase.
You might be wondering, why on Earth did I needed a treadmill? Well, the answer is simple: you guys know I work from home. Which means am sitting on my ass all day long and my ass, unfortunately, was growing big. A bigger ass also meant that I wasn't feeling as sexy; which in return meant a lower sex drive; which was driving my partner crazy. All in all, it was a great purchase, since I can use it at the same time I work. So, technically speaking, I am almost getting paid to get my ass fit.
Another thing that has kept me from posting, is that I taken another course with the Open University. I am halfway to my Certificate in Contemporary Science; and after successfully achieving two Astronomy courses (Introducing Astronomy, and Planets: an introduction), I have now decided to take Archaeology before maths; with the view in the near future to study a Certificate in Astronomy and Planetary Science. This has kept me real busy, I have been studying my ass off, to be honest; but hopefully from now on I will make a point to update this blog a couple of times per week.
I have started playing my guitar again. I didn't know much before, just a couple of songs, but I haven't played since the summer, which means I basically forgotten everything. So I been practising and practising until my fingers hurt. I will start lessons in May, hopefully.
I booked two tickets to Malta with Ryanair. £72 return, for both of them. No luggage, though. But with rynair policies you are allowed up to 10kg on hand-luggage. We will be flying from the 8th to the 15th of May. I convinced boyfriend to go backpacking, since he has never done so before. It took me a lot of convincing, since he likes to travel hotel-style. I have been backpacking before, so hopefully it will be a good experience. I will let you know how all this turns out.
I almost forgot, I have been putting a lot of time and effort on Amazon Mechanical Turk,so I can buy all the extras I want for my guitar.

Mini holidays to Southampton II
Finally my holidays are over. We made it back home about 3am last night, after a long long drive. I shouldn't be awake, honestly, but the removal van came early and now the whole apartment is full with unpacked boxes. Oh, rest, who needs it?
Saturday was a great day. We drove to Porstmout and spend day over there. We got to the top of Spinnaker Tower. They views from there were unbelieveable, specially since it was a very clear day. After that, instead of taking the elevator down, we took the stairs. It was Red Nose Day, so the management donated 1 pound per person walking down instead of taking the elevator, and we also gave some money too. There were 500 steps, and believe me, my muscles are still aching from it. That tells me that I should get my ass fit again. Oh well, am gonna purchase a treadmill at the end of the month, so that'll help get me fit again.

After such a glory day, we came back to the hotel where I worked till midnight. Then slept. Sunday we left at 3pm. Stopped at Northampton to visit a friend for a couple of hours, and eventually we got home.
Now that my holidays are over, I will have more time from my blog. Keep checking this week for new updates.

Mini holidays to Southampton
I have to apologize to all of you for keeping you waiting so long for the next post. This is because I have been on a short holiday in Southampton, down in south England. In fact, I still am on holiday; so you will probably have to wait a few days for a decent post. Nonetheless, let me tell you a little bit about how things have been going so far.
We left Sunday night, and drove for 8 hours until we got to Southampton. We arrived late, at around 2.30am, so we went straight to sleep On Monday, my partner and I went to visit Stonehenge. Spent most of the day there, had lunch quick lunch on TGI Friday's, and then went to work for a couple of hours. Yep, you guessed right, lucky me, I work from home. :D
Not a lot happen on Tuesday, since I had to work all day. Wednesday was a really great day. We drove to Poole and spent most of the day at the beach. It was a bit grey and cold early in the morning, but it got better as the day moved on, and we ended up with a beautiful sunny day.
We had lunch at Haverster and then head to meet some friends in the afternoon. Later on I went and work for a couple of hours, not long, just 2, in fact. At night we went to the casino. My partner signed me up as a member and we got the first round half price (we paid one, and got the other one for free). As he was ordering, I looked across the bar and saw a man hitting a woman real hard. So much so that she fell on the floor and stayed there for a couple of minutes. Later on I had to give a police statement of what I saw, and as it turns out, the woman was his sister. We had a lot of fun during the night. It was late already to join the tournament poker table, but we played roulette and black jack, and by the end of the night, with the winnings we made, we paid all the drinks and still had a fifty pounds extra to get home.
Thursday was even busier. We got up early, had breakfast and then I started to work. After that we catched lunch with some friends at Pilgrim House, a Chinese restaurant with all-you-can-eat buffet. Great place, really, hardly recommended. Awesome value and great food.
Only a couple of hours later, we went for drinks at the Standing Order, as it was a leaving doo thing for my partner's relocation. We had a great night with the guys; a night full of laughter that it will take us all a very longtime to forget. We made back to the hotel very late that night, and very drink too, I have to say.
Today am working. We moved hotels this morning after breakfast. Thankfully my headache is gone. Tomorrow we will go for a day out in Southampton. And Sunday, after 3pm, we will make our way back for another joyful 8 hours drive; not before doing a little stop at Northampton to visit a friend.
I will keep you posted with more updates soon, so don't forget to check back again next week. Until then, have a great weekend folks!
