Moving on..

The boys were going to move into this 5 bedroom that costs $500 a week. I didn't think it was a good idea and one of them backed out to move into his newly met relatives in Perth. The rest were procrastinating until Saturday, the day when they had to move out from the flat.



One of the guys went to Margaret River with another friend by noon. Luckily, they got a number to call about a 2 bedroom nearby. They actually could move in on the same day with no deposit required. The place is modern, spacious and nice with flamingo malibu coloured walls. After all the stress, I was truly happy to see how overjoyed the two of them were after they went to see the place. I went there after my work to have a house warming and 3 of us got super drunk.





I stayed at the original flat for a few more days after the owner had came back from his filming project in Thailand and Laos. We shared our stories in the middle of the night since we had conflicting schedules. He mentioned that he was getting bites but I guess it didn't cross his mind that I was the one who brought them into his place. He asked why I was smiling... I tried not to say too much about that and offered him my tea tree oil. We would exchange written notes to communicate since we didn't get to see each other which was kinda cute.

I finally told work that I was leaving and so did Martin, my friend with a super strong French accent. We are gonna leave at around the same time. I am going to miss having coffee and marlboro reds with him during our 1 hour breaks. I felt like I have started to get into gypsy mode again.

I had to leave the place by Wednesday and the guys let me sleep in the living room of their new flat. Last night, I slept on the couch with my legs bent so it wasn't the most comfortable. Tonight I will put the cushion from the couch on the floor to sleep. Luckily, there's a heater here because it's starting to get chilly in Perth. Eventhough this scenario sounds bad but I actually feel very comfortable in this modern funky place. The old one was too cramped for this amount of people.

I have to send a bunch of stuff home before I move onto Monkey Mia. I have been looking for new jeans since I got FATTER! I'm not Jenny G's size anymore, from size 6 (oz size) to 7-8 now. I don't mind but I gotta work on my abs for sure. I am contemplating on these Wrangler's but the colour is too light for my liking.

I'm looking into getting greyhound to stop at the Pinnacles Dessert before I head to Monkey Mia. It's supposed to be eerie and picturisque.

"My guy" has finally called me since his departure from the flat. He suggested for me to come back and live with him alone. I don't know if it's a good idea, since Anthony is coming to look for me (yay!). I know I will be with Anthony 24/7, but if I see this guy again, I would like to be with him alone too. Because of An, I might want to extend my visa to stay another year here but that means I have to do more seasonal work. My plan as of now is to join Eric and Hugo (Tina and Laura's friends) to go fruit picking up north. Those dudes bought a van to live in so they can surf up along the coast. Very backpacker style. I'm supposed to go to South East Asia before I go home too, so actually 4 months sounds like a very short time with all the things that are presented to me. I can't plan right now so I can only focus on the short term future.




The town I'm staying in is called Fremantle, and its charm is starting to get to me. It has some cobblestone paved roads with funky shops and a very chilled vibe. I think I am going to miss this place.. and of course the guys.
