It’s officially spring at last in New Zealand! I hope summer isn’t too far away. For now I’ll enjoy the beautiful spring flowers.

Hey hun. I know your tumblr is private but if you search Nina-Sue graphic design you can find your tumblr from google...

Woah, okay. I never even noticed that. Maybe I need to change my username yet again. Thanks for telling me though! I don’t really want a potential employer finding my blog.

At the moment I’m supposed to be busy at making yet another portfolio for yet another agency. But I need to minimise Illustratior and InDesign for just a few minutes to give myself a break. I need to take a second to appreciate how lucky I really am.

First of all, I managed to have a civil conversation with my mum when she came home from work yesterday. Normally when she comes home from work she whines about how nobody respects her at her job. Normally it’s followed by the complimentary war story of a rude customer. Then after that she normally has a nap on the couch while I make dinner. Last night was different. She took the time to talk to me about me moving away from home. This time without the cursing, screaming and slamming of doors. She told me that I have her support. But she felt that if I move to Wellington there will be nobody to look after me. Coming from her, that’s a pretty much a victory.

Next I have to be thankful for a new friend of mine: Michelle. She’s so kind hearted. She told me she had been praying for me in hopes that I will find the job that I want. Out of all the friends I told about moving to Wellington - she has been the most supportive. A small gesture such as prayer really has helped me keep my spirits up. The past couple of days I’ve been feeling really low because of my job hunt. Most places I applied for didn’t even bother to reply to my expression of intrest me at all.

This morning things took a change for the better. Ryan had told me that he saw someone looking for a junior graphic designer on twitter. He passed me her contact details and hopefully my folio will be sitting in her inbox by Sunday morning. Like how damn lucky I am? That he just-so-happened to be online when she posted the job listing? I really do feel like there’s someone watching over me and helping me find my way to Wellington.

Anyway, I’ve gotta run. I have a Lucy’s birthday celebration to go to. I have to get a bit more done on my folio, make dinner AND get ready before 7pm. When I go out with Lucy and her friends I always have to make the extra effort to look presentable. She always takes a million and one photos at events. Needless to say, I dont want to look like a zombie infront of everyone on Facebook…

I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend. Happy Friday!

♡ Nina-Sue.

I want to re-create this when I find my own place to live. I love white on white. It feels so clean paired with the greenery of spring plants ❤

Is your user picture you? Because there is no pictures of you on your blog. Why?

Wed, 18 Jul 2012 11:50:11 +1200

Yes, it is me. I don’t put pictures of myself on tumblr because I’m not very photogenic. I worry that people I know will find my blog and taunt me. Only a handfull of friends know about my blog. I get really paranoid about keeping it hidden especially after someone started sending me creepy messages. But maybe one day I’ll start posting photos.

Okay, so my friend Bernadette is coming over in an hour. I have so much to do! But I wanted to tell everyone quickly that I think I may have found a job I stand a chance at getting. I don’t want to say which company it is. But it’s for a full-time junior graphic designer in Wellington for a marketing company. I’m so scared of applying because I want it SO badly. I don’t want to get my hopes up because the listing has been on their site for a whole month. Maybe they’ve already closed the position? I don’t know. I’m going to apply anyway! Because I really want to work for them. Their style is amazing and they look like such a friendly bunch of people!

If anyone has any advice about applying for a graphic design at a marketing firm, please let me know! I really don’t wanna screw this up!

Maybe it's a good thing I didn't move to Wellington this week...

Apparently there’s been a massive earthqauke. God, what a hectic day for Kiwis. First I get flooded into my house, then this for Wellington? I hope my followers from Wellington are fine.

Never judge a little old lady

Sun, 01 Jul 2012 01:40:56 +1200

This little old lady came in today. At our shop we see our share of oldies. But this little old lady was so adorable, I couldn’t help but notice her. Her hair was permed to perfection, tidy clothes and a zimmer frame. Trust me, where I work we get our share of oldies that aren’t in such mint condition. The little old lady made her way up to the counter and started telling me about a dress-up party at her retirement home. So cute. Old people dressing up. I could totally imagine them having a high tea while watching the tenis. I asked her what she was looking for. You will never believe what she said …

“Do you sell whips and corsets here?”

Oh my god. WHAT? Little old ladies in my mind are not ment to be rolling around on zimmer-frames in corsets holding whips. What kind of a party theme calls for a dominatrix granny!? I almost choked. I told her politely that we didn’t have any in stock and then she was on her merry way again. I swear, she could have been the woman they based the sky adverts on…

Either way, I’ll never judge an old person ever again.

URL / Username change

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:16:11 +1200

Incase you’re wondering, I’ve changed my url/username to ‘nina-sue’. I’ve had a problem recently with a stalker, hopefully this will stop the problem and then I’ll feel a lot safer here on tumblr. If the problem persists I’ll probably just disable anon asks. I really don’t want to do that because I love talking to everyone here on Tumblr ❤

I don't get it... why is everyone moving to blogspot?

Wed, 30 May 2012 00:30:44 +1200

Seriously, can anyone enlighten me on why there’s a sudden influx of posts like ‘I’ve moved to blogspot! follow me here!’. I felt like my dash is dead. Why is everyone moving?!

Sorry for my moment of weakness.

Fri, 25 May 2012 17:20:00 +1200

Sorry for all of you that had to witness my moment of verbal weakness here on tumblr. You see the Wellington plan has gone terribly wrong. Because of the new student loan policies anounced in the new budget, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep studying or not. Either way, I’ll probably have to work for about 6 months in order to save up enough to go now…

Man life sucks sometimes. I really wish I would stop having such horrible luck. Hopefully I’ll have the willpower to write you something to explain what on earth is going on, but for now I’m going to take my sorrows out on Diablo 3.

Happy Friday.
