Karamatura Loop Track & Photography stuff

Hey there kids!

I have decided to get rid of my stress by going for a bush walk tomorrow.
Its called the Karamatura Loop Track. Takes about an hour each way and has a waterfall somewhere along the way! Alex told me that I have to bring my togs because we're going swimming! God I hope the rain that is meant to be heading our way holds off! I'm going to freeze! I'll make sure to take some pack-heats! I'll be taking my film camera along with me. So I'll have to find a way to scan them onto here. I would take my usual camera but tbh, I'm digging film atm.
I'll be getting up early to make and pack our lunch!

Photography news!
One of my photos I took of the sunrise at 6:45am a few weeks back has been put into a photography exhibition!! The exhibition starts on the 17th I think. Its at Homemade burgers on k'road in town. Come and have a look guys!

Right, hope you're all well

Peace & Love xxx

Stress

Stress. The bane of my existence. I stress and then I get sick. Why do I stress out about things? Because I have too much free time on my hands people. Too much free time. Answer to my free time stressing out problem? KNIT UP A STORM. Put in your orders of what ya want, you'll have it in a week or two!

Peace guys xxx

Coffee.

FML PEOPLE.
I have just realised that Coffee makes me sick. I used to think that it was just my IBS playing up. Nope. Well, it does play up but only from Coffee. COFFEE. I love coffee. =(!! I get sweaty, shaky and I get a sore as tummy. Oh! and acid reflux. GOD THIS IS GAY.

Anyway, I hope you're all having a lovely Monday. I have taken some photos already of the sun on both of my film cameras. :)

Peace xxx

Photos

Right guys. I know tomorrow was in fact yesterday. But here ya go!

The heads out at Bethels Beach.

We were both eating, ok?? Thats why we both look messed up. :P

Alex being strong on top of a hill.

A cave we found on the beach and then went inside.

My darling Quileute! <33

....

So its Tuesday and I haven't posted my photos yet...

Tomorrow my dear children. Tomorrow.

A wonderful weekend

What an awesome weekend I had!!

Saturday (28th) was Alex and my One year Anniversary!
He came to my house early in the morning and we swapped our home made presents! I mad Alex a scrap book. It was filled with photos and favourite memories. Best part it that I made it so we can add to it. Which is awesome!! Alex made me two AWESOME gifts that just had me so happy. I felt so warm and fuzzy that he actually listens to me complaining about stuff. He made me a perfect little green house (photos to come) out of a washing basket and plastic. It will be perfect for growing my spring veges in!! He also made me the most perfect gift. A shelving unit to put my wool in with added knitting needle holders in the side. Best thing about these presents? They were made out of recycled goods!!
We then went to Bethels Beach. It was my first time going there and I loved it!! I never knew that Auckland had a pretty good beach. We spent a few hours there walking along, climbing hills and having lunch. It was really hot for most of the day and only started clouding over when we were about to leave. We both got slightly burnt but that was good! Summer is so close that I can taste it! Photos also will be up soon.
Yesterday Mum, Dad, Alex and I all went to the hot pools. I spent most of the day hopping from hot pool to cold pool. :P Alex spent almost all day on the water slide. We then got tired of swimming and headed up to the pub for chips and beer. (Ginger beer for me thanks!) It was such a lovely weekend.

Cant wait for summer!!! I've got my beach spirit on and cant wait to dig my toes in the sand again!

Peace guys xx

Peace xx

Sickness, sadness and great news!

Sorry guys for the long gap between posts!!

I've been busy and stressed. Look out, you're about to find out why!!
My Dad got sick with a bowel blockage and spent many many nights in hospital. So that was really sad and I stressed out about that which in turn made my CFS and IBS bad. Real bad.
BUT! HERE IS THE GREAT NEWS! Dad finally did it! After 20 years he asked my mother to marry him and third time lucky, SHE SAID YES. The rings that my sister and I designed look AMAZING and fit her perfectly!!! I am over the moon and then some!! Cant wait for the wedding!!
I've also been really busy knitting baby booties for the hospital! I'll take some photos tomorrow and upload them. Gosh I love knitting!!

I hope you are all well. I will soon have my own laptop again so I'll be posting here more often!

Peace and love guys. <3

Photo Project

Sorry for the gap between photos. I always say that I'll get them up but I never do. :P BUT I HAVE A REASON THIS TIME. I got a really bad chest infection. Better now though. These photos are from a trip to Tauranga. Taken in the Kaimai rangers. :) Enjoy.

Photo Project

The theme for this photo shoot is "Dying Nature".

Here we have a dying/dead pine. Alex and I went for a walk through kepa bush this morning. Well, not so much a walk... More like a huge hike!

A slightly upsetting site this was. Along the way I found a dying eel. He had burns all over him and was living out his last hours in a dirty part of the stream. Rest in peace lil buddy. =(

I have about 465168324657 photos from this trip. So I will keep uploading them. :)

Peace guys.

Two Photos

First up my cat Fluffy. The reason behind myself holding her this way and taking photos of her paw is because I am getting her paw print tattooed on me.. Sometime... when I have money. Reason being that fluffy is the first pet I've ever had (Shes 12 now) and I love her a lot. She means the world to me and I think its about time I showed everyone what my animals mean to me. :P And before you ask, no my nose isnt bent like that. I was using my face to hold her still for the photo >_>

Second up is my straw bale. Dad got me this bale last night for my rabbits. Snowy is due to have her babies on the 4th so I needed more hay. The pet shops charge about $30 for a third of a bale and Dad got me a whole bale for $10. SAVING I IS. :)

Peace guys

Schoolwork...

The thing I hate about having CFS the most is the lack of concentration.

I'm trying right now to get my dog course done. Wait, did I tell you guys about that? I cant remember.... I'm doing a long distance dog course. Its packed with essays. Essays. The most challenging thing for a brain even at the best of time.

ANYWAY. I just cant concentrate on it for more than a few minutes at a time. ITS KILLING ME. I should be able to do this easily. Dogs are my thing! Animals are my thing! Its so frustrating. I really wish sometimes that I could just get this dog course done so I dont have to stress out about it. Oh well. If I really get into it today, I'll have the first book done. :)

Atleast thismorning I've managed to make an "Over night" bag. Although I just guessed the size so its more of a weekend bag. :P Its cool colours though. INFACT i'll get the webcam warmed up and show you my magical sewing right now! Hahahaahahaahah! Its so shit. I havent even put handles on it yet.

Excuse me biting it. >_> It was hard to take a photo of it. Its large. >_> You can now laugh at it. :)

Last night was a wonderful full moon. I went outside to take photos but guess what! My camera is not made for the night sky. Thats for sure.

Ok, I've spent long enough on here. I need to get stuck into this dog course!!

Peace xx

P.s, Are any of you guys free these holidays? Keen to come over to mine for a nice day spent playing with pets and making funny videos?

Photo Project no.1

Annnnnnnd here I go! Photo project = underway!

This was taken yesterday at the top of Mt Wellington.

Alex and I were on the way to get his dad a birthday present when we saw that Mt Wellington was covered in fog! So we drove up and had a look. We only had our phones on us at the time so the photo is quite shit.

Peace guys

New projects

Hello children!

Well, as I said in my last post, everything is changing!!

I am thinking about a new project I would like to start for myself, based off Maggie's (mewithme) photo blog thingy.

I am going to try and take photos of nature and things that make me happy! I will upload them ATLEAST once a week and you all can have a laugh at my lack of photo taking skills. :)

Until next time

PEACEEEEEEEEE

Its been awhile

Yes, as the title says. Its been ages.

I have some news guys, could be good, could be shit.

I had to leave my job at the pet shop due to CFS. I am getting too worn out. If its a good thing, I have yet to find out. I will get time to recover and quite possibly be better than I ever have been but then again, my cfs has gotten bad enough where I have to leave.... Oh well!

ANYWAY, more news!

I have to find a way to feed my animals. SO! GET READY FOR IT!! HERE IT COMES.

I am getting into making and selling animal products!

The list so far includes;
Dog treats! Peanut butter, Apple and honey are the flavours!
Dog coats! I can make any size, any colour!
Dog beds and cat beds. I'm getting into this one soon enough
Cat toys that are stuffed with cat nip!

Well, thats all I've got so far.

Let me know if you have any questions about the things I make.

PEACE!

Two lovely dogs needing a new home

Hey guys!

I am helping a friend find new homes for her dogs. She is a rescue person and has some lovely dogs to rehome!

First up is Charlie.

Charlie is a 5 year old, Wire Haired Jack Russell. He is a lovely RENGA and white. Hahah! Renga.

He comes with his vet book, Vaccs, Flea'd and wormed. He is also Desexed.

I got to meet him yesterday and wow. What a lovely lil chap! He was so excited to be out with his foster mum! He was such a cute lil man! I wanted to take him home. >_>

Second up is Penny.

Penny is a 8 month old, Purebred Jack Russell. She even comes with papers!
She is Black, White and Brown.

Penny comes with all of her vaccs, Flea'd, Wormed, Desexed and has her vet book.

Penny is a very lively little lady! She too was so excited to be hanging around the pet shop. Everything was so awesome to her! She spent a few good minutes licking my face and then the rest looking around. She knows how to sit and listen to her foster mummy. She still needs some training done as she is only a baby still! But she is smart and picks up new things very easy!

So please guys, If you are keen let me know! Or else I'll take them. I already have two dogs as it is. >_> Although another two wouldnt hurt. >_>

Contact me for more info at either ellimacwolf@gmail.com or catzruletheworld@hotmail.com
Or even better! Drop me a txt at 0210471251!

I'll see if I can get some photos up!

Peace, love and a new beginning for these wonderful dogs!

P.s, They are FREE to a new home. I bet you want them even more now. ;)

RAIN

Wow, Two posts in one day! I'm getting good at this. :)

I've been reading lots of sites and blogs today. CFS being the hot topic.

Its been one of those days where I wake up feeling normal then all of a sudden BAM AND THE ENERGY IS GONE. See what I did there? Oooohhhh

I'm feeling.. Well, lets list what I am feeling at this given moment in time.

1. My eye lids are wanting to drop. They feel so heavy.
2. My thighs and ankles hurt
3. My tummy hurts around my belly button (strike of the IBS again)
4. I feel like if I tried getting up and going for a walk right now, i'd curl up and drown in the rain with no energy to save myself.
And last but not least, 5. Looking out the window into the sky is making my eyes and head hurt. BLARG

Alex is coming over tonight, it wont be the first time hes sat with me and talked with me until I fell asleep.

Maggie (hahhaha), You'll remember her! She writes wonderful blogs about her CFS. http://mewithme.dreamwidth.org I have been reading her blogs today. It helps when you know someone who gets just as pissed off with CFS as you do. Shes so bloody epic sometimes. :P

On a lighter note, Mum downloaded me an awesome ebook about training dogs today! She is so awesome. <3

Well, until next time

SO LONG MY FRIENDS

Peace love and LET IT RAINNNN. Happy farmers, happy grass, happy cows. MOO

P.s, Help the puppy! He cant get up!

Puppy cant get up!

Damn, I knew I should've gotten outside yesterday and taken photos. I'm so stupid. The weather is now shit today so taking photos isnt gonna happen.

Feeling down?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L28TM48bF0

Now you're not :P

I'm going to get more into training my dogs silly tricks. Watching youtube videos makes my dogs look lame as. :P But I will get back into when I have the energy!

CFS is getting me down today, had a crap sleep last night. But I've done my schoolwork today so atleast i've got that out of the way.

Peace love and CUTE PUPPIES

Oh the shame

Why am I so shit at keeping this updated??

I am sorry! I will get back to blogging as often as I can.

I've had a super busy month!

ALL WILL BE TOLD IN MY NEXT BLOG. I hope to write tomorrow >_>

Peace y'all. xx

Here it is people! THE RAGE IS HERE

Right, I am sorry for any naughty lingo I may or not use.

Vegetarianism and CFS (maybe some IBS too)

"You know Camille, If you just ate some meat you wouldnt be tired anymore. You're just lacking in iron".

The amount of times I've had that famous line thrown at me.

GUESS WHAT BITCHES! I have blood tests all the time. Wanna know something that will chuck that line of yours right back in your fucking stupid face?
My iron levels are high.
Hear that? Yes, you heard right. HIGH.

I have been a Vegetarian for 8 years. Right before I turned 10, I said to myself "You know what? Why am I eating meat when I love animals so much?". Not many 9 year olds think about that kinda stuff.
As soon as I stopped eating meat, I felt better. Amazing. I was happy in knowing that I wasnt hurting any living thing.

Then the old CFS rolls on in and the same stupid line was repeated over and over again.

Mum was sure that when my IBS started, It was because I didnt eat meat. She asked every doctor and the same answer was given. "If she ate meat, She'd be in alot more pain"

CFS and IBS are nothing to do with not eating meat.

Meat takes 3 days to start breaking down in your stomach. Can you imagine having IBS and having a piece of rotting meat stuck in your guts? What about making my body work harder to digest meat? That wouldnt help my energy levels either.

Lets also stop to think about the extra Vitamins I'm getting from all the extra veges/fruit I eat. Some veges are Brain food. That sure helps with my concentration levels.

I just realised this isnt coming off as rage-filled as I'd hoped... Better rage it up a lil

LOOK HERE YOU VEGETARIAN/VEGAN HATERS. I AM HEALTHY. SURE, I HAVE CFS AND FEEL LIKE DEATH. BUT MY BLOOD TESTS SAY DIFFERENT.

Being a vegetarian isnt why I am tired. I have an illness. A REAL illness that effects alot of people worldwide. It is an illness that cant be cured (YET) and it is real. Its not in my head. Its not me trying to get pity. I am sick.

"Oh I get like that all the time. I'm always tired after work" Blah blah. Yeah, you might be tired. Yeah, you might feel sleepy after working 5 days a week. Sure, you can pretend you have CFS. Sure, you can blame vegetarianism. But do you know what its like to feel so tired that walking to the bathroom is a task? Do you know what its like to be only able to do 10 minutes of schoolwork and have to take a break because you cant remember what you read and you want to nap? What about when working for 2 hours almost kills you?

Ok, I also just realised that this has become more of a bitch about CFS than a bitch about Vegetarianism... Oh well. It had to be said.

So next time any of you energy pumped normal people wanna say its because I am a vegetarian,
GO TAKE A HIKE YOU FUCKING RETARD.

Peace, Love and normality. It will happen for us one day.

Holosync technology

I've been reading up on and got a free CD of Holosync Meditation.

People have reported having better sleeps, feeling less stressed out and feeling like they have more energy!

I got a free CD off the internet (link below) and I'm about to give it a go!! I'll let you know how it all goes!

http://www.sleepydust.info/2006/03/10/free-meditation-cd-report/

BTW, Sleepydust is one fantastic website for CFS info.

Also a big HELLO to my good friend and CFS kid, Margaret. She has had CFS for about ten years and has one wonderful blog. GO THERE. http://mewithme.dreamwidth.org/

As you were children!

Peace, love and E to the N to the E to the R to the G to the Y.

Summer where did ya go?

Right, I am still working on the whole Vegetarian post! I have been super busy these past few days with schoolwork, Shopping and of course Alex.
BUT DONT WORRY! The vegetarian rant is still on its way! I'm still fired up about the whole thing.

Winter is on its way now =( I enjoy winter sometimes... Like on those cold stormy days where you curl up by the fire with a blanket and draw. Yeah, I like it then. But every other day sucks ass! My hands are cold right now so its making it hard to type, my lower back is cold and for crying out loud! I cant even wear shorts most days now! AHHH.

ANYWAY, The vegetarian post will be up soon enough. I'll write the rest of it on saturday I think!

Peace, love and energy! Warmth would be nice too!!

My hands smell like garlic

Today has been one of those few but lucky days where I feel almost normal.

I managed to do some schoolwork, Ring up the people at wild world ONLY to find that they didnt even order my WOLF T'SHIRT! The manager was all "You arent on here..." Useless poeple.. I also managed to email alot of different people about their products that claim to "Heal" M.E/CFS kids, Go super market shopping (cooking my partner dinner tonight) and do some banking! I am very proud of myself.

Dinner plans for tonight:
Roast Chicken (I'm a vegetarian but Alex isnt... I'll convert him one day!)
Roast potatoes
Roast Carrot
Roast Garlic all covered in olive oil and herbs.
I pulled the whole herb/garlic thing right out of thin air so I bet it fails epicly.

Now, the next blog I am going to write is about being a Vegetarian with CFS. Alot of people have told me that the only reason I am tired, isnt because of CFS but the fact that I am vegetarian. I have been a vegetarian for 8 years now. Its not that fact that I dont eat meat retards!! AHH YOU ALL MAKE ME SO MAD... I am going to save all this anger for my next blog and prove why you retards are wrong about the vegetarian thing. >_>

Until then,
Peace, love and dear Odin give us ENERGY.

The first blog, who I am and what this is about!

Hey there, I'm Camille.

I decided to make a blog about ME/CFS and of course I'll write down things about animals every now and again.

I have had CFS since I was 14 (17 now). There are some wonderful sites out there that provide alot of info on CFS/ME.
Living with CFS isnt fun but I'm turning myself into a human guinea pig this year and I'm going to try out everything I can to help or maybe even cure my CFS.

The reason why animals are apart of this blog is because I love animals. They are my world. I breed Persian cats, Swedish Vallhund dogs, Nepalayan cats and soon Bearded dragons. I work in a pet shop part time and hope (Fingers crossed) to work with wolves when I finish school and uni.

I've been homeschooled all my life, which really helps with the whole CFS rubbish and breeding my animals.

I will start off my next blog with an amazing website that has helped me alot with my CFS. I'll also add some photos of my many animals and hopefully photos of my new baby kittens, depending on when Cinder gives birth.

Peace love and ENERGY! God, I wish I had that.
