11. Tell a funny story of something you remember happening when you were young.I don't know. I'm not very good at writing "funny" things.. And I can't really think of anything funny. Something that did happen, which would have been funny to see, goes like this. This kid was spinning around a  pole on the playground at school. I really really wanted to join him, but I couldn't just join, I had to ask him. So, I walk up to him. I get a bit closer so he can hear me. I bend down to his level (he was swinging around pretty low). AND HE HEADBUTTS ME IN THE FACE! My mouth was bleeding. A few teeth had come loose and cut my lip. BUT! I got free ice blocks from the canteen all day, so life was pretty great. Looking back on that, it was pretty funny.

12. Are there any special things you've kept from when you were a child?I have kept most of my artwork. I also have kept a stapler that reminds me a lot of when I was younger.

13. What was something weird you used to do as a child?Play under my bed... I would have about a foot of room, and I would slide under my bed with a torch and read or play with some toys.

14. What's the scariest thing you remember that happened to you when you were younger?Someone stole my bag and my very first camera. That was very shocking for me.

15. How is the world now different from how it was like when you were a child?
A lot more technology available and upgrades to older technology. TV looks better now.
People change, move or leave.
The world feels so much bigger now that I am old enough to explore it.

Ms Withers? Something like that.

Without family? I can't remember the first one, so I'm going to be really vague and say at a friends house.

Social Media'd. Checked Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and my emails.. I listened to Miley's new leaked song, which was interesting.

I will be making a "My Firsts Tag" video. Stay tuned.

I now have 2 blogs!

Yep, I made a new blog.

After the success of yesterday's post (which I really wasn't expecting), it got me thinking, the 250+ people who clicked on that probably don't want to read about my life and my little rant posts surrounding this one. My new blog will fix this issue. JackyJac, this blog, will be for posts bout daily life, creative expressions etc and my new blog, JackyJac's Opinion, will be a bit more of a gossip blog. I will be posting reviews to songs, my opinion on what's happening in the media and stuff like that.

I probably won't be posting to that blog as often as I am posting here. I will be trying maybe 3-5 posts a week, if I do more, then awesome, if I do less, then I need to pick up the slack.

With the start of my new blog, I have also been thinking about a new channel on YouTube. This probably won't happen for a few months yet, but the thought bubbles are there and they'll be making babies soon.

My next project, that I really need to get stuck in to, is project: make a new display picture! My current pictures for my YouTube, Blogger, Facebook, Twitter are all very outdated. I have had red hair for more than 2 months now, and none of my DP's display this. I need to give myself a deadline for this project. Let's say.. Tomorrow. OK? By 10pm tomorrow, I will have a new DP for all my social media channels. Whew..

Below is the picture I'm thinking of using and probably will end up using. Let me know what you think!

Miley Cyrus- VMAs 2013

SHE CAN'T STOP! SHE WON'T STOP!!

Miley's performance at the VMAs really was not much different to the other performances she has been doing since the release of "We Can't Stop". Twerking, humping, tongue sticking outing. Wearing revealing clothes. It's all been done by her before, just the VMA performance, she let it all out in one hit, in front of a world wide audience.

A source* said: "Miley's team is freaking about that performance. They saw the rehearsals, but those were really played down compared to the live performance."

The talk all over social media right now is "have you seen Miley's VMAs performance?" and "watch Miley's performance here". She has drawn herself a hell of a lot of attention. This coming just after the release of her second single, "Wreckingball" and just before her new album, "Bangerz" release. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Lots of people are Googling her name to watch the performance or read reviews, but really, its getting a lot of negative attention and I'm not sure that will help when it comes to the new album.

With Miley's new crazy attitude, some people have started following her just so they can see the next out-there move she makes. She is definitely building a name and a reputation for herself. She has expressed that she is older, and growing up, she's an adult now, but she is not acting that way at all. Her performance, with the humping, and male-masturbating gestures, seemed really immature and a bit of a stretch for some attention.

Miley's last album, "Can't be Tamed", was released 3 years ago and the media was causing a ruckus about her then. As she tried to express that she was "growing up" and breaking away from her Disney girl image. People were shocked at the change in her public persona 3 years ago, but I don't think the world was prepared for her to keep going and take it to the extreme it's at now.

Where is Liam and what does he think of all of this? What about her Mum, Dad and siblings? Are they all on board with the name Miley's giving herself?

It looked like she had fun on stage at the VMAs, I hope she had fun. I hope, however all this pans out, she is happy and doesn't crash. I have been a huge Miley fan since Hannah Montana days and I'm growing up, just as she is, but its all about the choices we make. It's just sad her choices and performances are in the public eye and scrutinized. Stay safe and don't be stupid.

Life in the past week.

Im lying in bed. My whole body is aching.

Since my few days off work and my most amazing weekend ever, I have been working my little butt off. Every day,  standing and running around for hours on end. Lifting things, bending certain ways and pushing my body around. I'm exhausted.

I've been working all weekend and it doesn't stop tomorrow.

I just need to keep focusing on the postives, like:
-the experiences I'm getting through working- the people I'm meeting.
-the money $$
-the fun times I can have because I'm working.
-the fact I can look after myself and treat myself to things occasionally.

Even though my body isn't hacking the stress now, it will learn from this and grow stronger. This pain is only temporary. 

That's kind of my life recap for the past week (starting from Wednesday) just work, work and more work. But I am very grateful to be in such a position I can say I have so much work.

♡♥Baii!! Xx

Words I Will Stop Using.

I am going to try and improve my vocabulary by challenging myself to stop using the following words to describe things:

-Awesome
-Amazing
-Incredible
-Cool

I have been using the above words too much, and the first three are beginning to lose their meaning, the last word is just annoying.

After the huge weekend I had last weekend, I found myself saying one, two, sometimes all of these words every hour that my mouth was flapping. I did have an unbelievable time, but I want and need to improve the vocabulary that I use to describe such events. I was even using these words too often to describe people too, even though I feel they were very deserving of these descriptions, I need to dig deeper and find what truly makes that person so amazing or awesome and use that to describe them.

Some words that will be replacing the above:
-Unbelievable
-Fascinating
-Stunning
-Wonderful
-Exciting
-Impressive
-Thrilling
-Magnificent
-Marvelous
-Fantastic
-Fabulous
-Unreal

To name just a few (thanks thesaurus.com)

I want to put a time frame on this challenge, but I really don't think I'll stick to it. I just have to know and remind myself that OTHER WORDS DO EXIST! o.O
Who'd have thunk it?

I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Instagram and Tumblr are coming soon!

This is What I Want!

This is it! I am finally doing what I want to do!

I always found it hard to answer people when they ask "what do you want to do as a profession?", well now, I have so much more of an outline. I want to work in media. I would love to be my own boss and be able to work from home, doing what I love doing.

Life scares me sometimes, because you do only get one life, and you never know when it could end. I have always been scared that if I go, I'll be leaving nothing behind. Well, ha! My 30 odd blog posts and a couple YouTube videos are here now! But I want to make more. I want this kind of thing to be my life. I want to do radical things and document them for the world to see.

At the moment, it is by no means a job, it is a hobby. I am learning so much by fiddling around on the internet and doing stuff. I could eventually, one day, make this my job. That would be unreal!

I have only been writing blogs for a month, and only been making YouTube videos for 3 months. I am shocked at how this experience is helping me grow as a person. I am so much more confident and happier since starting both of these things. I really feel like I'm on the right path and this hobby will keep my mind in order.

I also love that I am documenting my life. I already look back on my first couple of YouTube videos and can see how much I've grown. I can't imagine what this is going to feel like in a couple of years, when I reread over this, or watch my earlier videos. It's going to be crazy.

This is my hobby. This is what makes me happy and this is what I want to do. I have some big plans for myself in life and I'm so happy I'm taking the right steps to getting there.

Thanks for reading! Baii!! xx

A Blog A Day!

July 31st, I gave myself a challenge, every day of August, I have to write and publish a blog post!

I have shocked myself so far, I have been doing really well. Admittedly, some days I will post a really small post that I just pooped out in 5 minutes, but other days I have written posts that I have put a lot of effort into and I've found that it's not that hard!

I originally had set this challenge to just August, but then what? I stop? I start blogging every 2nd day or so? No, I am going to keep going! Everyday!

I have been doing a lot of networking lately, and I have people ask me what my blogs are about. I am unsure of what to say to that, I just write about what I want, what makes me happy, what I'm doing, stuff like that. My blog is like my creative outlet. I felt bad that I couldn't answer their question with something like "I blog about music" or "gaming", but now I have my answer!

My blog is about ME! I recount things I do in my life, I express my personal interests, and I use it as my own creative outlet. But what makes my blog special or different, is I'll be doing this, EVERY DAY!

I love it. I am really enjoying doing this so far, I hope to meet many people through doing this, and I love that I can leave bits of me around the internet.

I hope you, the wonderful person reading this, enjoys what you're reading and will stick around for more.

Thanking You! Baiii! xx

I have a GoPro!

Having this nifty little camera in my hands makes me feel invincible. I feel like I need to use this little buddy so much and so often, but I can't use it for vlogging- that's not what this action cam is made for. I need to do something adventurous, something exciting, something that Jacky never ever does. This camera makes me want to get so far out of my comfort zone, its scary.

Here is a list of things I feel like I can do since obtaining the GoPro.

- jump out of a plane- sky diving
- go skiing (and be good at it)
- scuba diving
- adventure parks- like giant swings, giant flying foxes, high rope climbing courses.
- climb a mountain
- go surfing
- mountain biking
- climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge
- water skiing
- really tall/ crazy theme park rides
-grass karting (again)
and more...

This camera is dangerous!
Everything on that list used to be so far out of my comfort zone, now I just want to do it, record myself doing it and ye.
I think part of the anxiety towards the activities on the list is the fact that they are dangerous, and I have always felt I WILL die if I try them, but if I have a camera recording me, at least I'll die on camera.

I dunno, but I am definitely going to do some of these things in the near future.
Summer is coming and will make for some good outdoor times. I see theme parks, scuba diving, bridge climb, grass karting and possibly sky diving, all in the near future (being before the end of the year).

I'm telling you, this camera is baaad, but I will not regret these things at all. I will grow as a person by pushing my boundaries and to capture those moments on camera is going to be gold. And here I am blogging about it in my dressing gown... oh boy.

Thanks for reading! BAIIII! xx

VidINC Sydney 2013- What a jam packed experience!

Most amazing 4 days of my life.

Why my weekend was insane:

1. It was all made possible by winning my ticket!
On the 25th of June (2013), DamieLou announced a comp on her YouTube channel to win a ticket to VidINC. I filmed, edited and submitted my application (a video of why I was deserving of the ticket) in less than 3 hours. I was so damn happy when I won!

2. I got to go to the Saturday workshop!
This workshop taught things ranging from, how to build up a larger fan base to different kinds of camera techniques. I learnt so much at this workshop. I am so grateful for this experience.

3. VidINC main event!
On Sunday the 18th was the VidINC main event. 1000's of people, who are all into YouTube, getting together and being a part of this huge event. I met so many cool people.


4. VIP seating!
I got my hands on a VIP pass and was able to sit in the VIP seating, front row, of the main stage. Up close to all the big YouTubers who got up and performed.

5. I got to sing with Keenan Cahill!
I approached Keenan and asked him if we could make a Vine video together singing "Roar" by Katy Perry. "I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire.." It was pretty damn cool.

6. I won a GoPro action video camera!
There was a comp on at VidINC, who could make the most creative vine video, and my video, singing with Keenan won! (Thanks Boom!)

7. Grass Karting with Devinsupertramp!
I will upload a short video of this, because this was cray cray... Going down huge hills (unfortunately the footage I have is of the least steep hill), reaching crazy speeds, protected only by clothing and a helmet. I came off the kart, flew off the kart and hit the ground many times. I met some really cool people on the shoot too. It was so much fun.


8. Going clubbing with/ Meeting DamieLou!
I'm so happy I got to do this! This was a crazy night! I had so much fun. Wish we could do this sort of thing every weekend. Damie is such a beautiful person, such a fun person. Bah.. <3

9. Meeting Choppa!
I met Choppa through Damie. He is a very cool person. Very knowledgeable. I really look forward to hanging out with this man in future. 

10. Hanging out with Damie and Choppa again!
After Damie and Choppa met Jenna Marbles (yes, they did, yes, I'm jelly), we met up in the city for some hangs before Damie had to go back to Melbourne.

11. Extra hanging out time at the airport!
I didn't want to leave Damie and Choppa in the city, to be honest, I didn't want them or I to leave at all. Damie, Choppa and I went to the airport together and we hung out for another hour at the airport. Good times :) A really nice way to end this long weekend of madness.

Thank you to everyone envolved:

In the time that I spent with all of you, in those few hours, just know that you have greatly impacted me as a person and helped shape the direction in which I'll be heading.

I feel so lucky and so special.

Baiii! xxx

Social Networking!

I started my Facebook page!

I didn't want people to contact me on my private Facebook page, so I created a page that people can "like" and interact with me on there.

I was a bit nervous about starting a Facebook page. I didn't think anyone would "like" it. It doesn't have very much on there yet (I created it yesterday, so what'd you expect), but as time goes on, it'll get busier.

I will be promoting my blog posts and YouTube videos on the page. I also hope to interact more with my audience and maybe grow a larger fan base through the page.

I also have a Twitter account and I will be sorting out a Tumblr and Instagram soon.

Please "like" my Facebook page, follow me on Twitter and subscribe to me on YouTube. I want my audience to help me grow as a person and find my direction by being a part of my social networking life.

Thank You, Kind Man!

Wow!!!
I woke up this morning knowing it was day 1 of the YouTube convention, VidINC. Today was just a day dedicated to workshops, but they were covering topics that I was really interested in. Big YouTubers and YouTube Channel Network companies were talking about their tips and tricks about making it through YouTube.

I quickly got dressed, and ran out the door, hoping that when I arrived, tickets would be cheaper at the door than they were online. I jumped on the train, feeling anxious, I was running late and I really didn't expect anything of the journey, but I thought I'd try my luck anyways.

I made it to the front of the Exhibition Centre at 10:05am (the workshop started at 10:00am), I follow some people around the building who also looked a little lost. I start talking to this guy, I didn't catch his name, but we decided to look for the main entrance to the event together. He was hoping to buy his ticket at the door too.

This guy was amazing, he works for YouTube and he knew some people presenting. He was interested in what I wanted to do with YouTube and was a lovely man.

We rock up at the front desk and ask if we can get 2 tickets, are they any cheaper, etc etc (The tickets were pretty expensive). We could buy tickets at the door, but we couldn't get them for cheaper. I was pretty upset and about to go home when the man I was with offered to pay for my ticket.

I was stoked. Like, gob smacked. So happy, I was speechless. I didn't know how to thank him.

We went into the workshop, half an hour late, but for a 9 hour day, we had heaps of time and different topics to learn from ahead of us.

The man started talking to a woman (who also worked for YouTube), and left at around 12pm. I didn't see him again after that. I feel bad I didn't get his name, or buy him lunch or something.

I really can't thank him enough. I had a wonderful day, met some really cool people and my head exploded with all the things I learnt about. I want this man to know I had a great day and really truly appreciate the kindness and generosity you showed today. <3

Thank you, kind man! I hope to see you tomorrow at the VidINC main event!

<3 Best day!! Thank you!

VidINC Sydney!! Pre-Excitement!!

I am so excited for VidINC!

I'm not even that excited about the famous YouTubers who are going to be there. Well, of course I am super excited about them, but I'm more excited about the stalls, the people I'm going to meet, the things I'm going to learn and the overall experience I'm going to have. It's going to be a great day.

I don't totally know what to expect over the weekend, so I'm not really sure how to prepare.
I'm charging both my camera and video camera. Freeing up space on the SD cards. I have no idea what bag I should take (big to fit things in, or small for convenience?). I'm making little business card things, with details like this blog address and YouTube channel info. I have my outfit sorted- not sure bout hair or makeup. Money for merch, and stuff. Some food, cause eating at an event can be quite expensive (but if I take a small bag, I won't be taking food).  A notebook for jotting down inspiring stuff.

I am nervous I'm going to forget something or wish I had thought of something else, but what else could there be. I dunno. I'm sure I'll think of something.

I am so excited about the people I'm going to meet. I'm just starting out on YouTube and I am hoping to meet people who are in the same position as me. I'm going to make some new friends who share similar interests and might meet some people who want to collaborate with some videos. I'll be meeting lots of people who can teach me new things, and I'm really looking forward to that!

I really need to get my energy up, confidence up. Like today, I'm feeling really flat, not really in the mood to talk to people (I don't know why). But on Sunday, I can't let anxiety get the best of me. I need to be bright, bubbly and confident. Keen as a bean to meet new people.

I feel like an event like this can be life changing due to the things you learn and the people you meet. I'm pretty flippin' excited. I don't know how else to say it.

If you're going to VidINC, let me know. Would love to say HI and meet some new faces.
Have a pic of my business card.

I went to the gym.

I did it! I went to the gym. I felt worse physically for doing so, but good mentally for getting out and getting active.
I got home and went straight to bed. Was so exhausted.

I rowed 500m in 2 min 5 seconds
Did a bunch of self weighted squats/ lunges.
5kg tricep extention
5kg rows
Some push ups and sit ups
And I was wrecked. Such a weak work out, but I'm not 100% well yet.

I go back today and do a little more.
We'll see.

I said I would go to the gym.

It is true!
I said I would go to the gym today, and I will. It is now 6:30pm, I still have time.

I've been super worried about going to the gym. I've been sick, and I just want to get better. I am still coughing a bunch and feeling weak, but I need to get my body moving I think.

So, I will be going to the gym and I'll be doing I light, weight workout. Working my core and legs. Squats, lunges, planking, pushups, a few dead lifts- that kind of thing.
Might sit in the steam room for a minute too.

This is just more procrastinating before I go.. I am pretty nervous. I know in the past 2 weeks I've lost a lot of muscle and become a little dumpling, I just have to move to get my fitness back and I DUN WANNA!!

I will... I'll take a pic and write a quick blog entry when I get home, as evidence. A nice, bright red, sweaty face for you all to look at.
Sound good? OK!

Lady Gaga- APPLAUSE. My Short Review.

A great way to remember the spelling of "applause".

I love this song, not because of the hype, or because it's Lady Gaga (if anything, that made me more uncertain it would be any good) I love this song because it's a great dance track, it's empowering and fun. Anyone who sings along to this song in the shower, in their bedroom, in a talent show, where ever, they will feel like a super star.

Lady Gaga always talks about her Monsters (fans) and how much she appreciates each and every one of them, you can tell that this song is for them. Another piece of art to show her appreciation.

My favourite part of the song is the hook:
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause I love the change in the music, the drop in the beat, the build up to the chorus. It's great. Towards the end, the build up with the cheering and clapping. It's very satisfying. A great hook, leading into an energetic, fun fueled chorus.

A great track to prepare the world for her new album.

____________________________________
LYRICS_____________________________
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

I've overheard your theory
"Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read

One second I'm a Koons
Then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

Touch, touch
Touch, touch, now

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

Thanks for reading, I will be writing a longer, more in depth review of the song when the video clip is released.

Deleting my WoW subscription.

I am thinking about deleting my World of Warcraft subscription.

I want to get better at the game, but to get better, I need to invest a lot of time into playing, and I feel that at this point in my life, my time can be used for much more productive things.

I want to focus more on my blog and YouTube channel, and finding a good full time job.

I will miss playing WoW, and I'm sure, give me 6 months, I'll be back. I'm really taking a pokemon approach to the pet battles and collecting/ capturing all the pets. I need a lot more experience in PvP, and I would love to do some heroic dungeon runs and get myself a cool mount and awesome gear. At this point in time, it's not going to happen. I feel like WoW would be a better experience for me if I made some friends in the game, but I haven't met anyone, and it's just lonely for me to play (even though I sometimes play with my boyfriend) and I've got no one who would like to help carry or teach my n00b ass.

I'm not 100% certain I will be unsubscribing yet. I will think about it for a couple days and confirm the decision then.
I might watch a bunch of WoW PvP YouTube clips and teach myself from them and build up my want to play again, but for now, this is where I stand and how I feel.

Fruit

Banana, Avacado
Pear, Cherries
Peach,  Mango
Lime, Berries

I love fruit. I've put on a little bit of weight recently. I spoke to a personal trainer about it and they suggested I've been  eating too much fruit.

Tries to be healthy to lose weight, is too healthy and does reverse.... fml.

I don't know what to write about.

I have maintained my blog post a day so far throughout August, going well, but today, I'm not feeling it. I was unsure of what to wrote about. So I decided to write about it.

My blog doesn't have a theme (obviously) and I'm not sure if thats a good or a bad thing.  There are people who say  you need to stick to one theme to attract readers, but I'm not sure what I want my theme to be yet, I just want to have a muck around and get a feel for things.

I have ideas about what I'd like to write about,  but as I'm lying here in bed, on my phone, I can't be bothered writing an essay. Maybe tomorrow I'll make up for it :)

I also don't know if I should write blog posts but not publish them, keep them for a day like today when I can't think of anything. I think that could work too.

Having a blog is strange. I'm not sure who reads this. I'm not 100% certain who I should be writing this for. What sort of niche? Market? I don't know..

I will work it out. This is just a thought post. I will have some more intersting posts coming.

Thanks BAIIII!!

People, life and opportunity

Don't be afraid to talk to people. Don't be afraid to meet new people. Don't be afraid to ask for help from people. Don't be afraid to help people.

You never know what will come of it.

One sentence could change the way you think, or the direction in life you're heading. One phone number could open many options. One compliment could give you the boost you require to get out and do what you really want to do.

----------------------------------

I was at a small concert today, and this woman on stage mentioned she worked for one of the biggest radio stations in Sydney. It is my ultimate dream to work in the media, be it radio or television, that's what I want.
So, after the show, instead of waiting in the enormous queue for an autograph from the star who'd just performed, I went looking for this woman. Feeling a bit weird, cause she's not expecting someone to want to talk to her, and nervous cause it's weird.
I find her, I call her over and we have a brief chat. I asked her how she got the job with the radio station. She gave me some good advice. She basically told me to just chase it. She had never been to university,  she just worked hard to get in the industry, with experience and people she knew from those experiences. I thanked her and complimented her on how she pepped up the crowd before the show. Very happy with something I wasn't even aware would happen.

I feel good and motivated.
Just get out there and do it. Life is short and there is no better time than now.

Much love xx BAII

3 year old does my makeup!!

I was baby sitting my 3 year old niece, and to get her to be well behaved while I was looking after her, I told her that she could do my makeup.
After much begging and actually behaving really well, I let her rummage through my makeup bag.
We pulled out:
Concealer
Foundation
Eye Shadow
Eye liner (the liquid, cause I like my eyeballs)
Mascara
and Lipstick.

I had one condition, she would let me film us.
So, I did, and out came this video.

I can't wait til she's older and she can actually do my makeup for me :P

Hope you like the video. Subscribe, comment.
Thank you :)

This sickness... rant post

I'm so demotivated!

My sickness is just getting worse! I hate it. I can't stay at home all day. I need to survive,  I need money to survive, I need work for money, I need to be healthy to work. Damn it!

I've been in bed all day, watching youtubes and resting.  I feel so helpless. I have no energy! I feel depressed and lost. I need to get better, and I could start by seeing a doctor (smart one), but I was really hoping I wouldn't have to.

Here's a poem
__________________________
I hate being sick
My body feels so weak
Get me a doctor, quicker
My life seems so bleak

My throat is on fire
Get this chainsaw out
Nothing to desire
Nothing to laugh or smile about

Stupid things I do
My brain's gone dumb
Life is a shoe
I need to have some fun
__________________________

I'm sorry for the ranty/ bitch post. I will have a positive post soon, maybe even tonight. I gotta focus on the positives and what I can do to help myself.

At least I've been sticking to my blog post a day :)
I dont know why the date on yesterday's post said I did it the day before. I'm just going to leave it and at the end of August I should have AT LEAST 31 POSTS on my blog. Get it going a bit.

My thoughts on Miley Cyrus

What's going on?

I have loved Miley for many years. She and I are the same age, she has an amazing career and I look up to her, admire her.

At the moment, I don't know how to feel about everything she's been doing. She seems very pro alcohol and pro drug use and I don't think that's the best way to be when she's in the media so often and has such an impact on young people's lives.

She has said she is "growing up", and stuff like that, but really, you do not need to do all this stuff (this stuff being; drinking, drug use, partying, doing crazy things) to "grow up". I also feel bad for her, because there are many young people who do do this kind of thing as they "grow up", the difference is, there is no one following them around with a camera and telling the world that they're being bad.



I really love Miley's confidence. She has an amazing body, and she really flaunts it, but things like wearing practically underwear on Jimmy Kimmel is a bit much. Miley could be a lot more classy than she has been. If you compare what she wore on Jimmy Kimmel to what Selena Gomez wore, it says a lot about the person.

I compare Miley with Selena because they are both the same age and have really lead similar lives when it comes to their fame. Both Disney stars, both have a good musical career and both are in the lime light at the moment because of new album release. I'm not at all saying Miley should be more like Selena, I just find it interesting how they're both represented in the media and how seriously they both take their lives and what's shown to the public. Back to the clothing comparison, Miley wears her black, high-waisted underwear, a cropped top, a jacket that just covers her butt, thigh high boots with a huge heel and bling. Selena wears an elegant, above the knee cut, low v-neck front, red dress, with some simple small black heels. I think Miley would look gorgeous in something like this. Not to say I don't love Miley's body, but I hope to see her covered up and a bit more classy soon. You can still look fabulous covered up.

Miley's new single, "We Can't Stop" is the first single from her new album, and first album that she has released with RCA Records after leaving Hollywood Records. This new song has changed the way a lot of people feel about Miley. The song mentions drug use, partying etc, the video shows Miley having a party, and having a great time just like any other girl her age would having been so successful. SHE DID NOT WRITE THE SONG! She may like the song, and relate to it, but so do I. It just so happens she's the one saying the words and making it seem like she encourages such behavior.

I don't know. I'm confused. I love Miley, I feel weird about the messages she's putting out there.
I'm cool with the image change. The drug use is what really worries me. I don't want to see her spiral out of control.
I can't wait for the new album, Bangerz! Stay tuned, as I will be doing an album review when it is released.

Summer!

So keen for summer right now! 

Sitting in a park in Balmain with Martin, Rhye and Woofy, soaking up the sun, talking fitness. I'm really getting a feel for the sunny summer days to come. Chilling on the beach, swimming, exercising and eating healthy, taking the dog for walks, etc etc. It's going to be great!

Getting a tan, dancing every weekend. Just being amazing. Living and appreciating life. Getting out, meeting new people and just having an awesome time. 

I am really looking forward to it. 

Xx Baiiii! 

PS- I made a vlog while lying in the grass, watch it below :) 

 

Can't sleep...

I can't sleep and I have to be up early in the morning to take Martin to a work meeting.
I feel weird, I'm feeling very down. I really dislike being sick. I feel as if I'm not making any progress when I'm sick,  I'm just sitting back watching time pass me by.
I really want to study again or get a full time job. Something that I'm happy doing. We shall discuss this later.
I hope you are well, whoever is reading this.
Tomorrow, fresh fruit and veg juice in the morning and fresh food all day, salads and lots of water. I am determined to get better. Might go for a walk along the beach or something. Appreciate life and my surroundings.
Good night beautiful people. Xx

Blog 05/08/13

Im sick!! Been sick for a few days and it sucks!
So the challenge I set myself with the blog posts is going well, but I haven't made a video for a while cause I'm not feeling great. I will try to make a vlog tomorrow.
I have some pre recorded video I need to edit and show the world, I will try and do a lot of that tomorrow too.
I feel like I've been so lazy! Been sleeping a lot.

I hate the stupid stuff I do when I'm sick. At work; I dropped a glass, it smashed into a billion pieces. I dropped a large frappe, it went EVERYWHERE!! I burnt my hand pretty badly, going to leave a horrible scar. I'm pretty upset bout the burn,  but there's nothing I can really do about it.

I have been playing a lot of world of warcraft, like, too much. After getting Hectress to level 90, I now want to level another character. It sucks.

I need to get my hair done ASAP. I have a couple ideas:
1. Go bright red everywhere except the shaved bit, black.
2. Dye my regrowth and a bit more black, shaved bit black and the rest of my hair bright red again.
3. All bright red.
Pretty keen on the first one. Not sure if I should do it myself or go to a hairdresser.

I have been  blogging everyday, which I am pleased about, BUT yesterday,  I went to edit the post I made the day before and it then said that I posted it yesterday not the day before- it changed the date of the post. It's annoying cause I wanted it to look like I made a post a day. I just have to be more careful with what I post,  edit before the day's over and maybe date posts like I have done this one. I dated this post because it's a bit like a diary entry, letting people know what's going on.

Have a pic of my burn and my hair. When I get my hair done,  I'll blog about that as well.

Baiiii!!!

"I wish I was older"

My thoughts on people saying "I wish I was older" or "I can't wait until I'm older".

Why wish for something that's inevitably going to happen? Why chase instead of live? Each second, minute, hour, day, week, month,  year- you are older. Wait it out.

Time is the greatest thing we have going for us in life. It is all we have. One minute we're fine and healthy, we can't guarantee what happens the next. We should be greatful for the time we have now and appreciate ourselves at this moment, not look into the future and think you see something or someone better.

I understand people can "look forward to getting older" but saying you "can't wait" and "wishing" you were older, what about all those years you'd miss in the fast forward process? And it's never going to happen,  you'll just have to wait it out like everyone else. But while you wait, do things and take advantage of what you have!

I know people say phrases like this without actually thinking about what they're saying. Well they should, and they should appreciate the moment and help build themselves a nice life for when they reach that "older" they were chasing.

Yeah...

K bai!

A few Haikus and a slefie on the train

Sitting on a train
Thinking about what to do
Going to be late

Red is a colour
Pink is a colour as well
I like blue the most

How do you haiku
I think im doing it right

Tired!

Im absolutely pooped at the moment! Been working so hard, I feel like my life has been go go go the past few days and I am SO TIRED!
I got home from work today (friday) at 6pm. Thinking I'll just have a quick nap and then go out later and have some fun (take note I start work at 730am tomorrow). I fall asleep,  put an alarm on for 8:15pm. I wake up, its 10pm. I slept straight through my alarm! Looks like I'm not going out.
On another note.
My body is aching, my chest feels heavy, and my nose is blocked,  but I refuse to be sick! I cannot afford to be sick. And thats all I'm going to mention about that because I'm not having it. 
I haven't done anything that I have wanted to do these past two days, and I have lost my weekend due to work.  I'm really keen to find a full time Monday to Friday job somewhere. That would make me extremely happy.
I dunno, I'm so tired and just wanted to post something. I might post something else again later. BYE!!!

August!

I can't believe it's the 8th month of 2013 already! Christmas is just around the corner... feels like it was here yesterday.

Today, I had plans to make a YouTube vlog- like an actual "this is whats going on in my life" type video. I have plans for August and they're already failing miserably. I was going to try to set myself up with a challenge; A blog a day and a YouTube video every working week day of August. I found myself thinking that was too hard, so I changed the rules (its my challenge, I can do what I want). So, I'm going to stick with the blog post a day, but aim to do 3-4 videos on YouTube a week.

So, I gave myself 2 hours before I have to leave for work, and in that time I was hoping to film the video, edit it and have it up on YouTube (because I'm working til late tonight) and I wanted to have it up on the first of August, as my August vlog post. BUT ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I'm very disappointed in myself. I have been incredibly lazy. I had plenty of time to do the video this morning, but I was too busy... playing WoW. This game is ruining my life. What am I going to do about it? Tonight, I get Hectress to level 90 then I cancel my subscription :'( I just can't afford to waste my time with that amazing game. If I was making money from it, that would be another story, but I feel it's getting me nowhere.

My plan for August!

-Cancel WoW subscription
-Write a blog post a day
-Make 3-4 YouTube videos per week
-Find a full time job
-Get my hair done (all nice like)
-Gym at least 3 times a week

And that's about all I've come up with so far.

Bah, I gotta go to work. Hope everyone's life is awesome :) have a splendid day. xxx
