Bondi beach Before sunrise
We just got back from Bondi beach. Ambrose and I dragged ourselfs there early this morning and I can tell you this, it was not easy to leave a warm nice bed at 5 AM. But like always, totally worth it when you do.
I really want to program myself to need less sleep, about 6 hours per night should do it. I don’t believe in this “you need at least 8 hours sleep nonsense” You get so much more time to get things done if you skip an hour or two of sleep.
It was still dark when we arrived, wintertime and all. And the waves were huge! Ambrose and the other surfers looked tiny trying to concur those massive waves. Have a look here if you want to learn to surf.
I took some pictures, maybe they can inspire you to get up a bit earlier? xx

Putumayo – Brazilian Cafe’
Lately I have been listen to this obsessively! So I wanted to recommend it here if anyone likes to have some background music. It works perfectly for dinner, studying or working.
I have never ever been able to enjoy music when I work or study. This is actually the first piece of music that actually makes me more creative. That is why I felt I have to share it.
Enjoy. xxhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv_Y0sG5ETM&t=1144s

Creating your life on purpose
Everyone who knows me do know that I am passionate about discovering ways to get the most out of life.
I do believe we have more power than we have been led to believe.I do believe that we are here such a short time and to me, not at least trying to go for your success is absolutely tragic. Whatever that success might mean to you.
I will use this place as a platform to share with you things that I learn.
So here we go.Here is a list that I came across yesterday. I call this list – Creating My Life on Purpose -.
Its main aim is to, metaphorically speaking, empty you “cup” (your life) of all those blockages that is of hindrance to you. And then fill that “cup” with what do benefit you in order to get to where you want to be.– Creating My Life on Purpose –
1. What is it that I want to achieve? Be specific on one goal.
2. Why do I want to achieve this goal? What does this mean to me?
3. What kind of person do I need to become in order to achieve this goal?
4. Identity what limiting beliefs and blockages I currently have within. Things that are not in alignment with my goal.
5. Use exercises that are for releasing these blockages.
6. Re-Program my mind with new beliefs.
7. Repeat step 6 until the new beliefs becomes a habit. -
Bungan Beach
Well this is how I choose to spend my morning. How about the rest out there!? 😉 Seriously, why dont we wake up earlier and watch sunrise more often. Easier said than done, I know, we all love our sleep but its such a good feeling. I must do it more often.
The reason why I did it thus time is because Ambrose and Heath were going for a surf, and they always go super early because they need to get back to work. This morning I decided to join them….at 5am…ZzzzzzzThis place is called Bungan beach and its about 30 min drive from North Sydney.My only warning if you go to this beach is a horrific, very very steep hill you have to walk on your way back. It was not nice for me. I seriously need to go to the gym because that was though!
Rest of the day was spent at my new favorite place – Sister 2 Sister. I got alot done today actually, both work there and also personal stuff that I will talk more about another time.
We even managed to squeeze in some after work drinks which I have not done in ages so I had a really really great time. Blessed that my colleagues are such a fun bunch.
Crazy enough, at the place we were at, Li’ll Darling in Surry Hills is were my old housemate and friend Adrian works as a chef. I have not seen him in about three years so that was a great surprise. We decided to get together, all of the old group for a dinner in 2 weeks. Cant wait!Enjoy the pictures and I see you back tomorrow. xx

Restaurant Xenos – a Mediterranean feeling in Sydney
Xenos is a restaurant I like to recommend. Its not wow, but there is something about this place. Food is good, staff are nice and its always crowded which generally good places are. Its location is Crows Nest and this place is packed with cafe’s and restaurants. But its seems everyone goes to Xenos, maybe to get some of that lovely Mediterranean feeling.
We drove to Crows Nest to get groceries this morning and as always Ambrose wanted to get in and out, quickly. He hates shopping for groceries, his style is he makes a list gets in, get the stuff in a couple of minutes and gets out.
Mine on the other hand, well I actually find grocery shopping therapeutic. It relaxes me and makes me happy. Perhaps sad and tragic haha, but very true nevertheless. So this time I said to Ambrose that he should go in, get the stuff and I’ll wait and have a coffee in the sun instead.
They have great coffee as well which is super important for someone like me, because I usually only drink espresso or long blacks. Its easy to “hide” the coffee taste in for example a mocha or caramel latte. A espresso is like sushi I think, its either good or bad, no where to hide !
Btw, Does it not look like I’m having coffee in Greece? 🙂Before home we went to choose color for our new car. We are selling Golden Beauty and Ambrose is getting to lease a car from his work. We decided to go with dark metallic grey. It probably has a name but I cant remember what the car salesman said.
Now back to The Strangest Secret with Earl Nightingdale! Ambrose drove to Narrabeen to surf with Heath and I want to listen, understand and take notes on this recordings before he is back so we can spend some time together.

Daniel’s 32nd birthday at The secret Bunker
Sunday nights celebrations!
Its Ambrose’s brother Daniel’s birthday and this was celebrated at an amazing restaurant called “The Secret Bunker”.We first met up with everyone at Rachel and Daniels house because they wanted to play with some flying drome thing or whatever its called. I was babysitting Xavier and Rachel was making Dani’s cake from scratch.
It was a great night to be with everyone. Feels pretty nice to have one family in Europe and now one additional family here in Australia hahaha.
If anyone wants great food this is definitely an recommendation from me. All of us were satisfied with everything we ordered, it was all delicious. I started with oysters and for mane course I had the slow cocked duck. If they have something slow coked or duck at the menu I will almost always order that so this was perfect for me.
The restaurant is located in Charmhaven which is pretty far from the city but we have been there a couple of times before for breakfast and lunch and it has always been great. Although their breakfast and lunch is served outside the “bunker”, in their garden. The dining room is as you might see in the pictures quite odd, it is in fact a bunker. To be honest I though I would feel a bit claustrophobic when we got there but I just enjoyed everything too much.http://www.thesecretbunker.com.au/

Mount Kosiciosko II
I forced Ambrose to ride this thing 4 times up and down. He started to go crazy I think haha
Hot coco on a cold day with a view
One of my most memorable lunches I have to say 🙂
Hey guys, okey lets continue the tip I have if you like hiking, outdoors, nature and like me mountains. For Easter we decided to take a trip to Mt Kosciusko, or as me and Ambrose renamed it to – Mount Koskesh. It means in Farsi, well…its like, never mind…
During our 2 nights we took on 2 hikes. First the 13 km Mt K, and the second day we hiked xxxxx which was not as long. We both felt quite unfit and had “jellyleggs”from the first day. You take a chairlift for about 15 min (this was my favorite activity out of all 😉 ) which takes you up the first bit of the mountain, and from there you start! Its about 4-6 hours return. We did it in about 4 hours, inducing me whining and our 20 min picnic lunch at the top. Be sure to have plenty of sunscreen, I was burning red in my face even though I had spf 50 on!There are plenty of hikes to do around this area so its more or less just to buy a National Park Visitor Pass (17 AUD/day) and then just explore.
here is a great way to start for information

Happy Easter!! I am finally in bed and feel every muscle in my body ache. BUT it was worth it, I climbed Mount K which apparently is the highest mountain in Australia. More pictures tomorrow as I am exhausted 🙂
