well its been four days since I have been back in Bali and i have not been to the beach once!! its rainy season and they are joking- right now we are in the middle of some crazy storm that has lasted all week and tomorrow then winds are supposed to get up 50 km'/hour! the streets flood in a matter of minutes and SUVs are in windwo deep water! so we have been living in our ponchos- i have the shittiest poncho on the planet! while given to me with love from melissa, the truth is she lost/ripped hers and 'borrowed' mine so she bought me a new one. only the new one came with a giant rip right down the center and so there i was flying down sunset with my pancho flapping like wings to my side and getting soaked all down my middle! i also dont have a helmet with my visor so everywhere i go i roll up with a dripping wet face and my hair is needless to say, a fro.
the worst part of the driving in the rain thing is that the streets flood and you cannot see whats under the water- aka GIANT pot holes and ditches and rocks that you suddenly find yourself crash over/into. yeah. on top of that the traffic has become reminiscent of HelLA because people just want to get wher ethey are going so badly that they disregard any semblence of rules that there might have been in place....
Last few days i have defied the rain to try and get things set up- today its knocked me into submission though- i just cannot be bothered being wet all day again! but on monday i had a job interview for this clothing company called ayya- its a web based store and everything is designedand produced here in bali. the job was for a customer service rep= someone to handle client relations through email and skype and also track packages, keep administrative records, etc. pretty simple stufff. but i ended up spending about two hours with the owner of the company and things went really well. he said they were thinking of creating more of a marketing/sales position out of it and are working out a way to incorporate some more responsibilities and to work out a decent pay. so he emailed me monday night saying he would let me know today , once he and his partner ' put the puzzle together'! so crossing fingers....
i also set up my room and got things all unpacked and settled. camera battery is charging right now so i can put up some pics. yes i swear. ;)

Dear Kaelen,
Why are you not updating your blog? I cannot simultaneously stalk/live vicariously through you if you don't blog about it. Please continue. My life over here is dull, and I would like to hear stories about yours, which I believe is infinitely more exciting.
Love,
Laurie
