Diary 11th November 2015
Just before I was heading to bed, Dad pops down to take a look at the alarm. I'm their sitting on toilet doing my business when he rings the doorbell. And says I to myself, "crap" the +Inflatables Stanescu. Well I can tell you this much, I never got off the toilet as quick as I did for the Inflatables. Cause the last time he had an issue by means of slashing em. So I hid the majority in the BAthroom and the rest under the covers. There was one thou however that he still can't get around it haha with his face. hehehe.
So after Dad left, I checked my mail of which one was Specsavers and Sky. I knew what Sky was which is a bill increase. Nothing's new in that department. ahhaah. However when I read further, I was delighted to learn that the RTE Player is to come to Sky's Catch Up TV Service which I get free as part of my subscription. I was more than delighted. LIke I won't be recording RTE News or RTE Shows anymore. I just download and Record. Yeahhhhhhhhh happy dayssss.
Well after a restless night, but I must say I did get a few hours wink alrite. hahhaa with the alarm still going off. haahha, I got up for today's meetup ie Cornucopia(Review here) with the Vegetarian Society of Ireland. I used maps to see where it would take me. So I followed it, well I never, I was taken to places which is actually illegals ie illegal turns. It was a great meetup. hehehe. I met up with a few ladies who were there when I arrived. heehheh. On the way, I came across a child and his mother. There was a flace linen curtain and a Vase in front. The Vase being glass by the looks of it. The child was there pulling at the curtain, and I got the fright of me like thinking he'd knock down the vase. As I was going down to get my food I came across Ursula Halligan from TV3. She came out gay a few months ago before this years Historic Same Sex Referendum. She is TV3's Political Correspondent in TV3 News. So I got talking to a few of the women, She was telling me that she lives in MAnchester and is home for the week or something. So I asked if she was going to Manchester Pride or if she's ever been or something. She said "I ain't gay". I said ya don't' have to be gay. Just like ya don't have to be a vegetarian to eat vegetarian. So long as you're NOT against Gay people etc., Then I was about to head off, when I got talking to Vinny, of which I realsie he was actually Albanian, well who knew. hahaah. I then was asked by Gerard where I Was from, ie he was keen on my accent, So I dubbed him Accentology the study of accents. haahah. Then we all agree that the prices are exorbitant. So I was explained thou which obviously one factor is the location ie Grafton St, where Rent prices are quite high and another of which I learned was that the food is cooked at 40C, so to keep the ntirietnwts instead of loosing them. Gerard whom I was chatting too BEFORE going home was talkign abotu PUppy Famrs.I referred hims to NARA and ARAN. ARAN has been around for several years. He was saying there;'s hundreds of them. I said ARAN can help. His arguement was that its far too much. Mine was ya have to inject a virus. To do so ARAN being the virus, it will evnetually pull em all down. Other topics discucessed were Remembering our school days. I did Plough and hte Stars for LEaveing Cert and Home ALone for Junior Cert

Diary 31st October 2015 - Halloween
Well very much positive than the previous days. heheheh. As I didn't sleep a wink whatsoever the previous night, I was a bit groggy to a certain degree. heeheheh
I had since gotten a voicemail from Mom saying we'd be going out for dinner in the National Botanic Gardens(Review here). We headed on out. Afterwards, we came back for a cuppa. I was between TWO minds. WHETHER to go to Ailish n Noel's for Halloween OR to the folks for Halloween. THe fact that I had seen Mom n Dad I was half thinking going to Ailish n Noel. However as I had seen them already last week, what would we talk about. ahahaha. Then also I was WANTING to celebrate Halloween with a Barn Brack. haahah. As there was no Brack with Mom n Dad, I decided to head to them. ANd then again I hadn't texted Noel as I hadn't his number whatsoever.
So to make a long story short, I decided to head to Mom n Dads with Barnbrack. BUT before all that, I was to meet Eoin n Clan ie the Dublin Cineworld Craicheads for to see Spectre(Review here). So I chatted with them all. I mistaken a guy whom I understood to be dressed up as a Witch, so instead he dressed up as a cowboy. hahaah.
So after the cinema, I headed on back up to Mom n Dad's. As I couldn't find a Vegan BRack :( I just got any brack.

Diary 23rd September 2015
Not bad a day today. hehehe. I do have to admit thou with the letter that I got from the State, that they require further proof of residencey for the Application of Naturalisation to proceed. So as such I was nervous as hell as to whether or not to tell my folks about further documentation required. At one stage, I was not gonna bother. THen at another, I was not go through Mom n Dad and to use Internet Cafés. But more so I was simply gonna chicken out.
I headed to me sis for a visit. Then onto Mom n Dad's for to tell em about the letter. I was so nervous, it was unreal. hahaha. When I arrived, Mom was there but Dad no. As time was not on my side, as I had a meetup to go to. But getting back to this thou, I waited impatiently for Dad. He was next door seeing his neighbor, So Mom n I chatted. She was telling me a clip she saw on TV whereby there's a board person in a meeting and excuses himself to go to the gents. He headed there, not realising the microphone was still on he let off a loud fart, and the meeting board guys were listening in on this, and got such a fit of laughing. ahahah. Twas humorous listening to it. hahaha. Then along came Dad. So I came out with it, abruptly. I've learned if I'm nervous NOT to stutter or pause, just come out and say it. Which I first asked if they were around on Saturday afternoon. They said they were. And they asked why, so I just put the Letter in their faces. Well there expressions was priceless, then just before I headed to the film, I most certainly NOT prepared what happened next. My Dad received a letter from the Water Conservation Grant. He wanted to apply or it. Now while granted it was understandable that the site had asked him to submit a WRITTEN application. He showed me his so called "WRITTEN" application. I was gobsmacked what he had produced. He basically wrote out the application of his own accord instead of filling out the application form like you would normally would. He actually submitted the application and the crowd of shower sent it back stating it was not acceptable. I had said in all my 31 years living on this planet, I have never come across a person submitting HIS own written application. I actually felt for him, and to this day, I still do.
So then I quickly cycled down to the meetup group Dublin Social Life where they were going to see Sicario. I was collecting my ticket. To do that I would have to enter my Booking Reference NUmber. So as I was using my cell to bring up my Gmail app to look it up. I then saw an option for me to collect my ticket via Unlimited Card. I was delighted with that. It works in the same way as a Credit Card. In that if you booked your ticket with a Credit Card, the ticket prints off automatically. As I was late for the film, let alone the group, I shan't be publishing a film review for the film period. It's not what I was expecting. I looked everywhere for the group. THey clearly have either people issues or something, cause I was asking around are they Dublin Social Mixer meetup group they insisted no they weren't.
As I didn't sleep to well with my upset stomach full of nerves and then throughout the day, I was drinking green tea for the night when I came back.

Diary 24th September 2015
Not bad a day today. The weather being very halloweeny Autumny feeling. Yep there's the Georgian coming out. The reason I say this is, although I love the summer relating to me wearing shorts, others have issues with me wearing it. I don't know why but it does bother me. So with the Wintery feeling and Autumnal yeah love it. hahaah.
So before going to bed, I couldn't' find my sex phone to go and put the alarm on for me to get up for. So instead, I used my Sammy and Sammy 2 phones to ensure I get up. Then shortly before i actually got up, I realised but what happens when the sex phone goes off ie the Alarm from yesterday. Then I'll be able to locate it. heheehh. I was delighted.
So then I got up and then headed with my head held high as I was keen on learning the Bees and Veganism. LIke what.... So I was to meet the Dublin Animals Rights Group for to see a screening of Vanishing Bees. I was quite alarmed to learn a few items. Although the film focused on UK, USA(mainly) and Italy. In Ireland the Government launched a Pollination Plan last week, ensuring the survival of the Bees. So I was keen to learn how does this actually help. In the film, I was surprised to learn that my beloved WAtermelon cannot be because of the survival or the Vanishing of the BEes. Who'd have thought or thunk it. hahaha. Various theories are said to have contributed to the vanishing. One was being the interviewee being a smartass blamed it on RUssia. But the real culprit is actually Pesticide. Now while Pesticide is a good thing for the plants and crops to get rid of insects that are poisonous or whatever, the bees thou however actually "affects their nervous system, and orientation" and hence cannot find their way back to the hive. Then I got thinking but what happens if the pesticide has been tested on animals, how does it make the Apples or whatever the crop is make it vegan then. ...

Diary 19th August 2015
Well today wasn't too bad. After a few days, I still have thoughts of arguing with Mom and Dad and Maureen etc., Still waking up with a stuffy nose and dear right ear. I think its the ear that I had trouble with when I came over from Romania.
Then I got up and ready. My sis called down for to download which she adores and loves. We said our good byes, hahaaha. Then afterwards I headed onto my meetup in Umi Falafel(Review here) for Vegetarian Society of Ireland. I met a few people. MOhit from Milanos' greeted me. What a wonderful greeting. Then I saw a babe a very hottie of babe. Alesandro from Italy, which I though he was Polish. Then the guy next to him, was looking at me, for a reason, perhaps he thought I was hot or something. heheeheh.
Then afterwards I headed onto Outhouse to get a Peppermint Green Tea for use in Cineworld. hahahah. I went to see PIxels(Review here) It was quite busy in the Outhouse. Severen made an interesting point in that saying, I looked very well. hahaaha. While I appreciated his comments, I followed it with attracted to a guy who has a cold. hahaah.

Diary 12th August 2015
Well today was quite "grand" as one would say. haahha. I woke up with a stuffy nose and throat not bad but at the same time, not the best. So when I got up, I did my usual NSFW photoshoot minus my precious muscley, and got myself Lemsip, it helped significantly. heeheh. I then got myself ready for to go to the Vegetarian meetup in The Hungry Mexican(Review here). WE chatted. I chatted with a vegan person beside me. heeheh. Twas pleasant.
I then headed to the Outhouse, only a stone's throw away. heeheh. Again more chatting with my throat starting to ache again, I continued. I then started to head to Cineworld to go and see Fantastic Four(Review here).
So I came back and looked at the news that I hadn't seen since last Monday, just gone. heeheh

Diary 6th August 2015
Just before I was going to bed, I was spending just under an hr trying to get Sammy 2, to get charging. I was getting vexed or whatever. I tried every cable I had, wouldn't work. It was down at 0%, wouldn't charge. It just kept going out. So I tried looking for the cable that would work for my Sex Phone aka Sammy Sex, which would be a shame as I needed an alarm for to wake me up. I had in the back of my mind, Lappy HP, would do the trick, but I didn't want to keep it awake constantly, wasting electricity etc., So after getting my frustration out on cables, I eventually found a cable for my Sammy Sex phone. heheeh.
Well today what is hoped to be the last day of the Citizenship application, I was due to go along with Dad to get my last of the Certifying of the Birth Cert and the Translation of the Birth Cert. So then afterwards, we went back to the house, to ensure everything's' in order and put everything in Envelope. So I as I says, a "Closing Ceremony" like the Special Olympics was had. As Mom says "No Pain, No Gain". I says back to her there was a hella lotta Pain. haahah., So then Dad and I went to An Post in Marino, to post the finalé. Get it Registered. AS I said on my FB, Fingers crossed, Touchwood, hoping everything goes to plan.
So after my NSFW Photoshoot, I started to get ready for my next errand or more so meetup, aka Vegetarian Meetup where I was to head to Sova Vegan Butcher(Review here). Twas a lovely cycle, however when I arrived, at the "place", why I have the word place in quotes, I will explain. On the Meetup site, it said 46 Rathmines Road. However, on Google Maps it stated Rathmines UPPER and LOWER. Now I wasn't sure which is which. So I cycled in circles in Upper. I asked a few people. Then there this lady who was splitting image of Mom, helped me to locate the restaurant, which was LOWER. Now, I wouldn't mind, but I sent a message to the group, no reply. So I had arrived almost on time at the so called place, I thought. Then about a half hour or so late, I arrived at the right place. When I arrived, Sarah A who is the organiser, whom I know personally from Drumcondra and obviously the Vegetarian group, says to me: "late, in fact VERY late", so I was quick to point out, it was an error on the organiser's part. In that had they mentioned WHICH part of Rathmines Rd., is the restaurant, in particular for those who've NEVER been there. So while there, we were chatting abit. Great point was brought, in that a Vegan cafe/restaurant etc., is known as a Butcher, yet we ain't eating meat, so what gives. hahhaha. I brought up about my experience in Govinda's on Middle Abbey St., one of the group members had said that the presentation of their's is more "sloppish" presentation wise. Another fella says who was beside me says, that if and when he review a place, that he would review the environment etc., etc., Another interesting point was made, in that, relating to prices. How come one place is cheaper than the other etc., etc., Person's Income, is one, then the population and of course the area the business is in. So just as I was about to leave Sarah A, tells me remember to be on time, well I again stressed to the organiser of the meetup, to go and put the EXACT address of the restaurant in question. Well the look I got from the organsiser, ahahah. It don't matter to me, as I don't get on with her. So it's cool on that part. ahahah
So then after the restaurant, I headed onto Outhouse, to get a green tea, for the cinema to see Ted 2 (Review here). Great to see a few hanging around. ahahah

Diary 2nd August 2015
Well I was suppose to go to the meetup, however with all the diarrhea in the last 24hrs, I was mentally and physically exhausted. So I just left it, and slept on. hahah, And besides although yesterday's events was lovely, however it was marred in my diarrhea issues, which made it less enjoyable.
I popped down to my sis. She was due to come up to mine, however she wasn't able to. hehehe. I had been watching King of Queens.
NEWS
Cilla Black aka Priscilla White, has sadly passed away. The death was announced to day. She died at the age of 75. She was born in Liverloop. She was a singer and a presenter. I would have fondly known as Blind Date but more so "and the moment of truth"....

Diary 22nd July 2015
Well what a day, it was. Twas of a positive nature. I went to bed earlier like I say, I wanted to try and get a "human" hours. ahhha. So I had set the alarm for 1,15, however I couldn't sleep right to the alarm, so I got up slightly earlier. And besides, my timing wouldn't have been on time, as I needed Fair City, and of course the dole.
So I got up and showered. Looked at TV ie Monday's news. I was amazed by the amount of Clashes that had occurred on my box in that NOT ONE of my News Bulletins got recorded let alone Fail with no space.
So I headed onwards to get my dole, then the bank, another booboo was made in that Meteor had taken their cash already, so that adds an extra week with no food. So I'll get their eventually. heeheh. I then headed to Scribbles to get a USB Drive, as I had reported yesterday that my previously died on me. Then headed to Tescos to get initially to get Bread, I saw Vegan bread or what I thought Vegan, and Vegan Washing up liquid. I was so happy with the washing up liquid, but disappointed with the bread, so I then headed to Ryan's Hardware to get a Mirror for to take pics in, but it wasn't to be.
So after all the busy morning, I came back to do a bit more of the news. So I then headed to my first Vegetarian Meetup of 2015. We were to meet in Milanos on Baggot St(Review here) which happens to be the place I used to work in. It was under a different name at the time Ciao Café. The last time I was at a vegetarian meetup was back in November of 2014 in Wagamas. We chatted and dined. I enquirerd about Delhi O' Delhi, and was saddened to learn of its demise. In that it is to be used for the Irish 1916 Centenary Celebrations. We also chatted about the sentient, I happened across an article on Facebook, whereby in New Zealand a Bill has passed whereby Animals are to be treated as to be having "feelings" otherwise known as "sentient". One of the members of the group was praising Govinda's on Abbey St., So I thought to stick my oar, in and let em know of the homophobic treatment in Govindas(Review here.) They listened attentively, which I kinda was surprised. Considering I hadn't been there since LAST year, hahaah.
Oh and throughout the WHOLE day, I was experiencing some back pain. Even at the meetup in Milanos - the above, Everytime, I laughed, I got a sudden surge like the time I experienced that ended me in the Emergency Room. This was a few years ago, when I was experiencing alot of stress, and my sis and I were looking at Mrs. Browns. I got a mother of pain. This was exactly like that.
NEWS
A ceremony was held in Norway, and in Utoya, in memory of those who died for the 70 who died in Ootoya. 70 people died amongst those were kids in the Utoya Island Labour Camp, when a gunman by the name of Andreas Bearing BRevik(can't spell his name) gunned down 70 people, 8 in the Paraliament in Oslo and the some elesewhere and the rest on Utoya Island.
So I got up and showered. Looked at TV ie Monday's news. I was amazed by the amount of Clashes that had occurred on my box in that NOT ONE of my News Bulletins got recorded let alone Fail with no space.
So I headed onwards to get my dole, then the bank, another booboo was made in that Meteor had taken their cash already, so that adds an extra week with no food. So I'll get their eventually. heeheh. I then headed to Scribbles to get a USB Drive, as I had reported yesterday that my previously died on me. Then headed to Tescos to get initially to get Bread, I saw Vegan bread or what I thought Vegan, and Vegan Washing up liquid. I was so happy with the washing up liquid, but disappointed with the bread, so I then headed to Ryan's Hardware to get a Mirror for to take pics in, but it wasn't to be.
So after all the busy morning, I came back to do a bit more of the news. So I then headed to my first Vegetarian Meetup of 2015. We were to meet in Milanos on Baggot St(Review here) which happens to be the place I used to work in. It was under a different name at the time Ciao Café. The last time I was at a vegetarian meetup was back in November of 2014 in Wagamas. We chatted and dined. I enquirerd about Delhi O' Delhi, and was saddened to learn of its demise.

Diary 11th July 2015
Today I was due to go to see TWO films: Song of the Sea(Review here) and Terminator: Genisys(Review here). However again, as I didn't sleep too well, I wasn't gonna bother. BUT my sis called down to me an hour earlier. Now while it wasn't ideal, I am actually glad she did. Not only she have pain issues, which was the reason she came earlier BUT also, my mental health was somehow distorted towards the negative side of things. While I was at the second film, I said to myself, "Man am I glad am back at Cineworld. cept the FINANCE". I really missed it. So again, like I said the last time, My sis came down to me when I was mentally under the weather. And I appreciate that. heehehe. Bottomline, if my sis hadn't popped down, chances are I wouldn't have gone out. I had told her last nite on FB that she was welcome to pop down. However she did tell me, that if she wasn't sure if she'd be able to pop down. Before I went to the first film, I popped into Pennys to see if I could get MATERIAL shorts ie trackeis kinda like. However time was not on my side, so I just headed to the cinema. I also bumped into Cineworld Craicheads namely Eoin and his crew. They were after seeing Ted 2. There meetup was today. I was due to see it. But I wanted Terminator BADLY. ahahaha.
So when I got back home, I showered again my thanks to my sis for such an inspiration. Again all a person who is going under mental health stress(each one is different, I speak of ME), is seeing that person in this case my sis.
So then afterwards, I went to get my lunchie which consists of caesar dressing for my sandwich. Despite it telling me to SHAKE before use, of which I did, It kept spewing as if it were Coke or something. Which I don't get n still don't get. So I came to the conclusion that I never refrigerated it. Not sure. hahaha

Diary 5th July 2015
Well what a day, I had today. It was unreal. hehheehe. I had two minds of whether to go to today's Meetup. I decided to head to the meetup. The meetup was being held in Terenure College for the Vintage Cars exhibition. The minute I left my aprt, it literally pelted out of the heavens. It continued right until I arrived at Drumcondra, I was constantly thinking of my +Puppys Stanescu Sammy as I had him on the ground and was worried that the rain would get it, and his ass would get wet. hahaahah. However thankfully he didn't. hehheeheh.
So then I went onwards to meet the group. I met up with Vinny the group organizer and others. It was amazing. I went round taking pics etc., Like seeing cars of when Dad was born, the infamous Austin and the Garda(Irish Police Force). It was unreal. There was this guy selling sunglasses, his mannerism not the best, he just wanted to get rid of them, so he offered me to take 7 for €5. Great bargain. ahahhaa. Throughout the exhibition there was music playing of the '60s etc., music. Fabulous it was. My battery of the Digital Camera, ran out, so I was using the incombant phone that everytime, I kept seeing a black screen everytime I wanted to take pic. It was must infuriating. But was done eventually ie got the pics. heheheh. So then I rang the organiser to let him know of my plans of which was to get a bite to eat then head on home as BOTH my phone and the Digi(Digital Camera) was gone too. So I told him, I head on off home. Was fabulous. heheheh.
I then headed on home. To find out my sis was in need of company. So she popped down where we enjoyed Golden Girls for the night. hahaah. I then headed to her place. hahaaha. Where we enjoyed Cinderella(Review here). Awww the music was just unreal.

Diary 27th June 2015 - Gay Pride 2015
Well today was the Annual Gay Pride Parade in Dublin's City Center. Today as I haven't been popular well regout wise like last year. So I wasn't gonna let that get in the way of celebrations. This year's Pride was slightly different on my side, in that, it was more PLANNED out.
I was due to attend 3 Meetups:
I was due to attend 3 Meetups:
- Pre-Pride Brunch
- Pride Parade
- Drinks After Pride
So I headed to The Larder(Review here). So then we had a nice lunch and brunch and talk, I seam to be the only guy dressed up to the nines. I had expected judging from Pavel the organiser of the Meetup, that I would be welcomed whether I be wearing Pink or whatever, Yet everyone dressed up as if it were a normal day. hahaah.
So then we all headed onto the Parade itself. I doned my Boa, however he kept falling apart, so I had to stow away my baby. awwww. We continued on walking. Bumped into Mike too dressed up as Robin. ahahaha. Then onwards to the actual parade. We got lost. Craig and I were lost, didn't know where they were. So in the end, we all met up and found each other. heheeheh. The Parade started in ernest. heheheh
Then the next meetup was at 6pm, so I wasn't gonna be hanging around Pride After Party for a few hours. So I headed to the Outhouse. I along the route bumped into Patrick. So I was chatting with Patrick along with Manuel from the DIGs group. He wasn't at the Pre-Parade Brunch. He joined us at the Parade. So I headed onto the Outhouse, where I came across various men, and some women and Trans people. Great INCLUSION vibe. I was chatting and chatting. and eating a glorious brown bread, butter, tomato(puree possible or squashed tomatoe) and Olive oil. mmmmm. It was heaven. I kept helping myself to em.
So then I headed for my next and more than likely last event of the day. I saw Pavel who also organsied this meetup. We waited for Gabriel, whom I hadn't met at all. He was inside getting a drink for himself.

Diary 13th June 2015
Shortly before I went to bed, I was checking my sex Facebook account, I was checking my messages. I had 3 guys blocking me, just because I wanted to add them. haahha. They first messaged me, then never gave me the opportunity to go and reply to them. One said "Who are you", and other guy said "No of course not" something like that". So I in my wisdom replied with my NON-sex account the gstanescu84, says to them
"A bit pathetic for to block me. I wasn't stalking you or any criminal offence or whatever. If you don't want me to add you JUST grow a pair of balls, and reply with what your mother reared you with known as in Ireland as MANNERS"
And literally BEFORE I shut down my lappy, I got a last minute message from one of the guys who blocked me on my sex account and says "Ok, sorry".
All I want is respect, nothing more nothing less. I'll give you respect if you give me respect. Takes two to tango. hahaha. As one of the pop singers sings as sung by Mercedes(I really looked up to her) from Glee R.E.S.P.E.C.T
SO with that said, I headed onto bed, after I awoke, I heard a doorbell of which I thought was my sis. So then I got up eventually around 10ish. I was due to go to my meetup of officially Eoin's group Cineworld Craichead. However he wasn't going to the iMAX version of the film Jurassic. So instead I signed up to Adam's(oh yeah u know who he is, haahah), But he was going to the iMAX version. I really wanted to see it. So I said, ill put on my big man boots and face him, if needs be. I initial plan was to say my hellos and goodbyes to the Dublin Movie Maniac(Adam's group) and then wait for a few minutes for the Craicheads. Their film would be on later than Adam's.
So then my plan was to head up to my folks then back to cinema to go and see Survivor for quarter past 11.
I was suppose to see Ailish and Noel however it wasn't to be, Ailish feeling up.
But all the above was collapsed in that, I didn't go out AT ALL. Awww noooo. I just can't face Adam. I don't know why. So I stayed on, I was too late for both films. So I said I'd leave it. I then said I'd head to see half 11 iMAX of Jurassic, but then I wouldn't be sure if the food be opened. So as you can see I had a very undesicisive day. haahah. Then lastly I asked me mate Todd, if he'd like to join me, for the film. As it happens he had bought a gadget so he was too in his comfort zone, so I said I'd leave it.
So all in all, after all the will I, will I or won't I, I decided NOT to go out at all. So I saved myself about €24. Cause I need that for to get Patch and Sammy's new pet, Father's Day pressie. So I enjoyed a nice takeout my Mom had dropped down to me. haahah

Diary 7th June 2015
Well today was the day, I was to travel 33KM by bike obviously out to The Happy Pear, Greystones, Co. Wicklow. I got up slightly later than anticipated. The plan was that I was meeting Vegetarian Society of Ireland Meetup group. They were to travel by DART and then hop off at Bray to walk the Bray-Greystones Cliffwalk for a further 1.5hr - 2hrs. So I said to myself, sure they won't arrive on time. I had asked at the meetup site, what time they expect to arrive, the reply was 2.45pm. So I said I'd aim for 3pm and leave my place for 1pm, so instead I left on my two hour journey for half. Not my best as you'll soon about to find out. haahah.
So I set about. When I arrived at Bray about an hr to an hour and half, I was well chuffed that I had arrived safe and sound and chuffed. Then I headed onto the actual cliff. Now the deal is Google Maps only offered me ONE route, which is absurd, why you ask me? Well I'll tell you. I had to WALK the 2hr Cliff Walk as NO cycling is for obvious reasons is permitted. ahahah. Now don't get me wrong, the view was spectacular remind me as if I were in Italy. In fact I actually questioned myself, as in was I in Italy or Ireland. ahahah. The sea was as blue as.... - whatever the simile is. ehehhe. Was lovely to see Bray thou where our childhood was, ym sis' and I's. It had changed slightly. Not much. But anyways, I arrived. However an hr and half late. So when I arrived at the Happy Pear eventually, the place was booming. Weather was lovely, And couldn't find the vegetarian crowd anywhere. So I contacted one of them via Facebook. And was shocked more so surprised to hear they were on the DART on the way home. heheeh. Now obviously, I had arrived quite late and yeh yehh yehhh etc., etc., so I was upset alrite, as expected. Now considering it was a lovely day. I kinda thought they would stick around a bit longer. Like come on. So I headed on off in a huff. I had planned. If I hadn't seen them, that I would just get a bite to eat. But no, I just headed off, with a view of actually going home starving me guts, and just fall into bed or whatever. hahaha
So I set about on my 2hr journey. hahaah again. with NO rest whatsoever. There was this annoying hill, that really tired me and strugggled me to get home. haahah. So I exclaimed "Ah Lord( in a Meath accent)". I hate hills to the core. Ask any cyclist. Maybe the experience love em, I ain't sure. ahahahah. ON the way to Dublin, I recognised the couple that had been on the cliff walk with their bikes, like I said, you couldn't actually cycle, ya had to walk. So then headed onwards. My body in particular my legs, were killing me. So I was FORCED to stop by means of stopping off at a restaurant in Shankill. Continued on with the journey onto Stradbrook, something like that. Then onto Ballybrack. So I continued my journey all the way up to Dublin with DAD's thinking cap. My phone btw did I not mention, was DEAD. So hear I am 33KM away from Fairview, and I knew my phone would die. But what I didn't know, it would last ONLY 2hrs. It literally that it would only last my journey TO Happy Pear. It literealyl died when I arrived at Happy Pear. I wanted to take pics, but couldn't. You can be sure the next time, I will be bringing my Digital Camera next time. I then headed on home. While on long jounrey Dad would right out a list of Towns to the destination. He would then follow the signs. So for. eg While in Dublin, there would be no signs for say Killarney or Cork City, its tooo far. So there woudl be signs for closer towns on the way. So thats What I did. I isntead of followign signs for Bray(which funny wasn't any) from Greystones, I jstu took A road, and followed STRAIGHT. I then headed up there and started seeing signs and roads familar e.g the R761 and the N31/N11. So I was chuffed. So I jstu headed on home following signs for N11 etc., etc., ENSURING I don't go near Motorways, as cyclists are NOT allowed on motorways at all.
So then I arrived in Dublin about almost 8ish, looking for ANOTHER HOT food to have. So I had left Shankill around 5, So it took me slightly longer to get back. But eitherway, I totally enjoyed my self cycling. It was truly amazing. According to Dailymile, I cycled almost 85KM in one 4-5hr period. I was explaining to my sis earlier on in the week, that it was my expectation, that I do the 2hr journey and then BREAK by eating or wahtever then CYCLE. Like I did with Dundrum. Except it was raining that night. ahahah.

Today's PhotoWalk was to cover Glasnevin Cemetery and National Botanic Gardens. So we first met a restaurant. Then headed to the National Botanic Gardens. We were walking around taking pics. I was hanging around with a Romanian guy.
While taking photos, there was a scene of which I just wanted to pause and listen. Where the river was flowing, the trees bristling their leaves. Yeah that was a lovely way to listen. So calm and soothing.
Then we went back to another restaurant for to let the rain off. We then headed to the Glasnevin Cemetery. It was quite eery arlite. hahaa.
While taking further pictures, there was a section in the cemetary whereby another fabulous scene. Whereby the trees are meeting atop ie an Arch. Bothsides of me, was just stunning.

While at the cemetary, I wanted to look for Uncle Joe's grave and my Mom's dear friend whom she lost her to lymphona cancer. However, the cemetery is far too big. So we popped into Daniel O' Connell's crpyt where he is buried. To your left handside as you go in you see a bucket of coffins ontop each other. Those are his family. While passing the crypt, I wasn't looking at step, I was more so expecting no steps. So I tripped over that. With the echo of the tower where the Round Tower is located, I was wanting to get pics of the Inside of the tower. So then afterwards, we all dispersed. Before heading off, we popped into a pub, that am told is the oldest pub in Ireland. It was lovely to look in. Well layed out. Funnily its called the Gravediggers Inn. Something like that.
So I headed on home. Where I had planned on taking a photoshoot etc., adn shower of course. My sis contacted me saying that my sis and my Mom are on their way down with a Chinese. hahah. So I left the photoshoot. And welcomed them with open arms. hahaah. My sis and I watched Beauty and the BEast.

Diary 25th April 2015
My sis called down to do some downloading. I headed onto meetup group to see latest Marvel film, The Avengers: Age of Ultron(Review here). I apparently booked the wrong time even though I could have sworn it was the right time. When I arrived I was met with great positivity in relation to my Yes Equality badge. Even one guy Patrick told me he was Bi and was therefore in favor of a Yes vote. So onwards to the film. So as I says I had to wait til half 7. Their's was at 7. We met up afterwards. I saw that Eoin also had a Note 3. I welcomed him to the Android family. We swapped back covers When I was returning his he saw that I was struggling. So he showed me a new tip. So I said. "Hmmm, a newbie showing an expert androids., hahaha". Then we all dispersed.
