Train of thought

19 December 2006 by kristarella

It seems to me that boys are always more likely to be the ones that refuse to get “out” of a game. For example, if we’re playing poison ball at karate it is always one of the males, young or old, that I see getting hit and either not being honest when no one else […]

Tuesday Randivo

At work we need to wear protective equipment in the lab – lab coats, gloves, sometimes it’s to protect the tests from us but often it’s to protect us from the chemicals.

That feeling

13 December 2006 by kristarella

[tired angry hurting rant] I’ve lost that good feeling I had about today. Today has been a bit crap. I feel really sick, really hungry, my feet hurt. I have too much to do at work, the things I’m doing at work aren’t working properly, more tail tips came in. The tail tips are supposed […]

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).
