Manly Beach

Time was up so I had to decide if I should stay at the Original BP in Kings Cross or not. I looked online and have decided to go to this hostel in Manly Beach because it has ensuite bathroom with kitchenette in each room and the price is actually quite good.

The day when I was leaving, all the annoying people were leaving on the same day also. They weren't really the friendliest. I mean they were only hi/bye roommates. Maybe it's the racial thing, who knows? Anyhow, I felt a little attached to the place now as I have only began to get more comfortable. I chatted for awhile to a couple of people who work there the night before. The young guy asked me to go to Ministry of Sound, but I guess it's not going to happen because we found out tickets are almost $100. Daft Punk would be awesome but it's sold out, unless I go try to catch them in Melbourne.

Anyhow, I left the place because I had nothing to lose. Manly Beach is a minute ferry ride from the harbour so I can still find jobs in the city. It's like a small town with more of a surfer vibe. It has a much slower pace, with some tourism but still in the city. The beaches joined together as one big long strip, which reminds me of Krabi or Phuket in Thailand.

The place I'm staying at is kinda ghetto, or a bit run down, with broken cabinet doors. I'm sharing it with a German girl and 1 French girl and guy, who are quite nice compare to the last people I stayed with. The private bathroom makes up for everything. It's really better than sharing it with 20 other people.

The German girl is very mature and smart, considering she's only 19. The french people in the room are funny. The guy would go freak the shit out of his female friend while she's on the cans. When they woke up they were chatting and it became this word game...while they are lying in their own beds. It's kinda cute.

I applied to Roxy and Quiksilver by the main strip, and I really like the Quiksilver store. The girl said she is doing interview the next day and she is very interested. I haven't heard back from her yet so I don't know what's up. I'm supposed to get 2 other interviews in the city too, so we'll see how those go.

Today I went surfing with the German girl. I rented a surfboard for 2 hours and ended up buying a short sleeve rash guide tee. I sorta got up on my first try, but after that I got hit on the nose by the board. Since then, I got afraid of the ocean and didn't really give my best. My nose was bleeding a tiny bit and it's now bruised on the outside. >_< Maybe I'm getting old, so I have more fear and less desire for adrenaline and excitement. I used to think I like surfing alot, maybe things have changed now.

I have gone to 2 yoga classes now so it really helps get me into a better state. I also cook for myself most of the time as I have to save money. It's nice and healthy, and I enjoy taking my time shopping for grocery.

Can my friends help me manifest a good job please?
