Holy Moley!

29 December 2006 by kristarella

We had an enormous thunderstorm here a couple of hours ago. I squealed a couple of times in response to the loud thunder. I’m not necessarily easily scared or surprised, it was LOUD! I tried to get some photos of raindrops, I didn’t try to get the lightning, I didn’t have the right angles or […]

Whole New Meaning

29 December 2006 by kristarella

“Don’t forget to wash behind your ears!” Have you ever heard someone say that when you set off to have a shower or a bath? My Dad used to say that to me sometimes, my mum might have too and I never really knew what they meant. I thought it was some saying with a […]

Crazy

22 December 2006 by kristarella

Oh my! The shops are crazy. :crazy: I am not going there again until after Christmas is over. You couldn’t pay me enough money. Actually you probably could, I’d go for two or three hundred dollars (that doesn’t include the amount you want me to spend at the shops). Since it’s highly unlikely that anyone […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
