I Miss You Chocolate...

Well, there have been several interesting developments in my life...

I am now a model. :P Yeah, I'm still finding it hard to believe too! lol...
For a well-renowned hair salon that shall remain nameless in case people come across my blog and find all the personal stuff I've written! heheh.... basically, I'm their new "face" and I'll be plastered all over the country in various advertisements for their salons in a month or so...
heheh, cool but kinda freaky! I fly up next week for photo shoots etc where I will be getting my hair changed very very drastically, all dressed up and "pout in a sultry manner" at the camera (words in speech-marks are direct quote from someone involved in the whole process! :P LOL). AND...I get given money. Awesomeness. muahahah.

So that's going to be a lot of fun...except now I'm on a strict health regime where I'm not allowed to eat any junk food *glum*... I miss you chocolate... *sniffle*...
Have also started going to those "aqua-cise/ aqua-fit" gym classes held in water. Man it's hardcore! I totally suggest it for anyone out there who doesn't like gyms overly much, wants to tone up and/or has physical issues with any excercise that is high-impact...or even low impact! Simply because, since you're in the water, THERE'S NO IMPACT AT ALL! The best kind! High resistance, zero impact. Plus, I like swimming. Not that you're really swimming per se, but whatever. And it's even better if you're doing it in an indoor pool, which I am, since it is currently winter in New Zealand and pretty damn cold outside :P (at least to me, the wuss-queen of all low-temperature wusses)!
So, I'm actually (very surprisingly for those who know me) enjoying the fitness side of things and doing that in the water... but when you're on a no-junkfood diet (and several other bits and pieces which I live on have been forbidden...such as potatoes!... oh sweet potatoes, how I miss you...), you suddenly realise how often people are eating said, well, crap! It's EVERYWHERE! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE IT!!!! AHHHHHH!...AND I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!!
I suppose, from a Christian perspective, it is a good excercise in avoiding temptation, but oh it is so mean! :P

In other news, just the usual me slogging away at my music degree and oh yeah...
My Band is currently um, "renovating", so to speak. Some personnel changes, repertoire changes... it's gonna be good. Before, there wasn't anything separating us from any other jazz band out there... just playing standard jazz tunes and blah blah... but NOW...

We've started to write originals and are now focusing our energies towards something a bit more unique, different, and well... us. I'm quite stoked by the whole process... plus, Katie and I ( generally the organisers/planners/directors of the whole damn show! ARGH!) want to work with other people who actually are just as keen as us to go in the direction we are headed... makes sense, dontcha think? heheh So that's cool...

In terms of Christian-life... I LOVE GOD! AND HE IS AWESOME!!!! I got to worship-lead last Sunday, which I have done so before, but it's really hard to do from a piano because you can't really direct the other members of the band... so I did it from the front. Singing. A little bit of guitar...
It's been awhile, but maannnnn I enjoyed it! Everyone else seemed to enjoy it too, but either way, it was one of those moments I felt really close to God, and like I had finally pressed my thumb onto the center of what it is I should be doing with my life. Y'know, like for a moment in time, everything went "click".
While I was away in Europe, I wrote a lot of song lyrics regarding my faith, and now is the time to be putting it to music! I'm very excited by the prospect. I think I've been floundering around for awhile but finally have some good focus and motivation to do what I should be doing...

Although, I think the motivation has come from being on a no-junkfood diet. Seriously. Do you have any idea how much you can accomplish when you're not allowed to eat any of the "yummy" food? I've been so frustrated by it, that I've actually gone out and worked my butt off in several different areas of my life that have mostly been lying around stagnant...until now! LOL

Speaking of which, I've probably wasted enough time on here... and I realise a lot of you have short attention spans and probably stopped reading a long time ago. Kudos to you. *grins* I talk a whole lot of nothing half the time! tee hee
Anyway, I'm off to one of the nameless hair salon stores for a test to see whether or not all my hair is gonna fall out if they use any of their strong chemicals on me. *grins*
My family has sensitive skin. This should be interesting. heheh.

Ciao!
