Watches... Decisions, decisions and more decisions!

One thing I would like to share about myself is... I love watches! So far in my collection I have a Tag Heuer Aquaracer for work, Tag Heuer Caliber 16 Carrera Heritage for dress occasions and a Casio G Shock for casual wear. The Tags aren't really casual enough for t shirt and jeans so I am after a second alternative. So far I have narrowed it down to

The Perrelet Turbine

 

The orange trim Omega Planet Ocean Big Face

 



The Omega Constellation Double Eagle Chrono

 

Pout no more

My wife had a pair of shoes which had metallic pearls stuck on the toe after some wear they started to fall off. She found pearls to replace the old ones but they were a different colour.... So what does she do? She brings the pearls and the shoes to me with a pout on her face. Have no fear honey, hubby is here! So as I mentioned before I am ODU's main blogger and I happen to have model building skills!

I wasnt thinking of documenting the process until I sprayed on the rubber black undercoat so the processes are,

                               1. Stick on the pearls with super glue and wait for them to dry

                               2. Mask the toe and surrounding area for protection

                               3. Apply the undercoat and wait for the paint to dry

                               4. Apply gun metal as necessary

After three coats of gun metal

Cat's shoes are ready for wear once again and the pout has disappeared!

Thoughts of a talker

For years I have been told that I talk TOO much, but I've always ignored what people around me were telling me. Until recently when I decided that I would try and become more of a listener and less of a talker which is why I thought I would blog about my experience.

When I initially started this idea I started researching methods of talking less. Yet I came across alot of information which made talkers sound self-centered, which was a bit upsetting since most of what I found sounded like it was written by someone who is a listener and not a talker. Also there isn't much useful information online that helps talkers overcome this habit.

For those of you who aren't talkers let me explain what it's like for me as a talker. While talking to another person suddenly I get this urge to talk.The words literally jump out of my mouth before I can think! In a way words coming out of my mouth is as fast as when u jump after you've been burnt. I know it sounds stupid. but that is preety much how it is for me as a talker. Now i'm not saying a talker has the right to naw your ear off, and yes I have been around people who talk more than me. So I do understand how irritating it can be.

Some might think that shy people are worse off yet both shy and talkative people have there own struggles.
Below are some cons of being a shy person

• People may think your arrogant
• Hard to make friends

and here are some cons of being a talkative person

• People going out of their way to avoid you
• Getting told of at work/school/home

Btw telling a talker not to talk is like telling a smoker to go cold turkey!!!

So now that you know a bit about a talkers life lets see if I can change a talker into a listener.
If your a talker/listener let us at GGI know of your experiences or any advice you may have.

Despicable Me

What many of you may not know about me is that I love movies whether they came out yesterday or even in the days of Charlie chaplain, so what I will be trying to do is to review new movies as I watch them. On occasion I may review older movies as well.

Now onto the review so today I watched the movie despicable me and I LOVED IT, I haven't seen such a funny animated movie in years. But I suppose you shouldn't expect less from actors such as Steve Carrell (Evan Almighty), Jason Segel (How I met your mother), Julie Andrews (Sound of music) and Russell Brand.

So that I don't ruin the movie I will just summarise the plot. The movie is about Super-villain Gru who wants to steal the moon so that he can be the best villain, but he can't until he gets a loan from the Evil bank. Unfortunately they will not give him a loan until he retrieves the shrink ray, so to retrieve the shrink ray he discovers he needs the help of 3 little orphaned girls who he adopts.

Now for those of you who finally can control the power of analysing everything as a result of high school English, the movie will keep most people entertained and of course there are parts of the movie where you may think duh!! that was obviously gonna happen, but overall it was an entertaining movie which was funny to watch and it kept me hooked even though the credits.

7 Bridges Walk

Recently this year like every year in October Sydney holds the7 Bridges Walk. The 7 Bridges walk consists of walking over 7 bridges around Sydney across a 30km track and even better it supports the Cancer Council, also when you sign in the organisers provide you with a booklet which they call a passport and a wristband and at each village and bridge you get a stamp

We started from Milsons point and made our way over the bridge to the next village which was The rocks village.

Opera house

Below you can see a picture of this place we passed on our way to the rocks and we saw people off all ages ranging from families to singles. Unlucky for us a lot of them were overtaking us and as embarrassed as I am to admit it, at one stage even a dog overtook us and he was walking at a leisurely pace.

Susannah place Museum and Shop 1844

After we walked passed the gallery we reached the Rocks Village where we were happy to get another stamp. I never new that there was a weekend market there and now I will have to go back there to shop and the chocolate cafe. Remember the dog? well we finally caught up to it and while it was taking a drink of water we overtook him/her.

An interesting piece of art

On our way to Pyrmont bridge we saw this car completely in ruins until we realised that it was a piece of art and I have to say the artist was indeed thinking outside the box especially with painting a face on the rock. It's placed on a roundabout near Dalton house, if your ever in the area check it out.

Anzac Bridge

Ahh finally the Anzac bridge by this stage we were struggling and pretty tired but determined to keep going but lets just say the moment we saw the climb up the bridge all of us groaned at the same time and I'm sure you would have as well after walking 6km.

Climb up to the Anzac Bridge

the top we saw the Nova 969 building and below is a photo I took a of the Iron soldier which is at the other end of the Bridge.

When we reached the other end of the bridge I asked one of the helpers at the village if the next village was any further and lets just say she gave us some bad news but on the way to the next village, they were handing out free flavoured waters and we probably would have hugged the person handing them out if we weren't too tired.

Under the Iron Cove Bridge

Iron Cove Bridge

Finally we finished our walk over the iron Cove Bridge and we had walked approx 13km, I know we said that the walk for 30km but we were too tired to complete the full 30, so we waiting for the ferry which we were all happy too see.

A photo I took of the harbour bridge while on the ferry

Overall even though my friends and I were exhausted we had a great time and they couldn't even believe how much fun they had and the ones who didn't come, wished they had. Not only was this a great day it was the perfect way to exercise with friends and not think of it as a chore plus we also helped the cancer council so to everyone please do the walk next year get a couple of friends and family together you don't have to do it early in the morning and your not required to complete the whole walk you only do as much as you want to do and it is for a worthy cause.

Miku's Introduction

Hi I'm Miku and I'll be bringing a female perspective on topics as well as talking about subjects which mainly concern and interest females such as make up and fashion. This is currently my 2nd blog, my 1st blog is Otaku Down Under which Hiroki kindly invited me to join and contribute to. Otaku Down under is still active and  mostly deals with the latest anime related news which is why Hiroki and I came up with Guy Girl Infusion so that we could talk about other topics and subjects which are completely unrelated to ODU. So if you have any ideas that you would like us to talk about let us know and we may talk about it next time we blog.

Welcome to Girl Guy Infusion!!

Hey all I'm Hiroki! GGI is a combined blog shared by Miku and I. We make up two of the three authors of Otaku Down Under, ODU. Due to the limited scope of ODU (It's still active so rest assured) we wanted to create a side project where we can post about anything and everything and this is GGI. Through GGI we hope to appeal to both sexes with a range of different topics these include food, movies, fashion through to automotive interests anything goes at GGI as the blog is still under construction please stay tuned for further updates!
