Somewhere over the rainbow..

Recently I have been reminded that our time here on this earth is short. Regardless of what happens, good or bad, one thing we will always have is memories. No matter where I am something that always starts a memory is a song; music is a form of a memory. From the Spice Girls to Avril, music is timeless.
So here are a few songs that automatically trigger old memoires, what are your songs?



5 years old + Classic by Judy Garland and one of my favourite childhood movies The Wizard of Oz



I was 6 when this movie came out, hands down my favourite Disney movie.



Stop by The Spice Girls

7-10 years old




S Club Party by S Club 7



One Step Closer by Linkin Park. Entering my Intermediate rebel rock stage.



Gets me everytime. DJ Sammy, Heaven Tribute.



Overnight Celebrity by Twister. College days, here we go.


Amazed by Lonestar. Falling in love


My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne. 18 years old!


Don't Stop The Music by Rihanna, Clubbing, yes yes.


Meeting and learning about the man that promised to love me for eternity. Hosanna by Hillsong


Here In Your Arms by Hellogoodbye. Met my future husband



Present time, an old song but an anthem for my sister and I.

The Lion King and Me.

So yesterday Jesse and I took his little sister to the movies for her birthday to see The Lion King in 3D, it was of course fantastic. Most people have seen the movie more then once right but yesterday I really clicked into the themes and messages that the movie holds, one being:


That stuff happens that pretty much changes your life, leaves you with scars and makes you wanna run away and not face the problem, sweep it under the rug, out of sight out of  mind. But eventually one way or another the past catches up to you and you have to face it, man up and move forward. Woah, deep dude. 


Simba's character pretty much relates to anyone, when he was a younger cub he was cute and mischievous as kids are. You get attached to his innocence. Then he gets older and deals with stuff that isn't sugar coated any more. 


Timon and Pumbaa are hilarious, well, I think they are. I could only hear myself and this little kid behind me laughing the most. Do not judge me. 


Does anybody get how good the music is in the movie? That is prime A meat right there. 


I really can't wait to show my kids this movie, I kinda wanna show them when they are old enough to appreciate it. Im sure Dora and Hi 5 can accommodate in the mean time. 


Jesse got the DVD for me which I was very happy about because this movie only comes out every 10 years or something? Pretty sure we will have kids within 10 years, so Im glad I have a copy to share :) and I won a toy Simba in one of those arcade games, yus. 

“Oh yes, the past can hurt, but the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it. "

Me...and the past month-ish

OK so I haven't blogged in so long! So I am going to break my fake hiatus and get back into it!

Things I have been into since my last post! 

Fashion/Beauty, T.V, Health/Fitness, Movies and God. 

DulceCandy
 I have been really into following quite a few beauty/tutorial/hair channels on youtube. One of the girls I follow religiously is http://www.dulcecandy.com/, she has the best fashion sense ever! Here is my evidence..

Photobucket

There are literally hundreds of photos on her blog of outfits and tutorials for hair and make up. She makes me want to venture out from my normal brown and creme coloured eye shadows lol 

Khloe and Lamar
Surprise! Amy likes a reality showed based on a Kardashian, well you know.. So what! I love the new E reality t.v show! Mainly because I love Khloe and to see her happy and so in love with her husband makes me very happy! You can tune into E to watch the new series or be fanatic like me and stream it early :)


Working out...eehh.
My sister and I have been trying to be on a health and working out buzz. We have been working out about 3 times a week and to me it still doesnt feel enough, but with help form these pills I have been taking have helped me lose nearly 3kgs in 4 weeks. 
Healtheries Naturally Slim Appetite Suppressant capsules
Healtheries Naturally Slim Appetite Suppressant capsules




I usually take 2 before every meal  and I can say that you don't eat as much a you would. They come in a pack of 50, that usually lasts a week, maybe just over. They retail $16.00 at New World, I imagine they would be the same at most supermarkets.
For a full review:

On the workout side, Jan and I have been doing a lot of interval training. Running then walking for about 30mins around town and also boxing, dancing and fanatic workouts from Julian Michaels. With the holidays upon us should be working out everyday! No excuses

Scream 4
Ahhh I was so happy when my boyfriend agreed to go see Scream 4! Not your average date right lol but as a major fan to all the Scream movie's I was ecstatic (like actually) to be old enough to go and watch this movie in the cinema (Scream 3 was released in 2000, so I was 11..errh why was I watching these movie's so young lol). Without giving anything away this movie is true to the Scream fans, if you understand that. You expect the unexpected, always! I loved that the main cast where all originals and I loved the new teen actors as well. Emma Roberts was awesome. Also the hot friend that there always is, Marielle Jaffe is legit a future Victoira Secret Angel, dang it. 
I love Neve Campbell! She beautiful and looks awesome for 38! and can kick any ghosts face butt. 


The best for last, God
So lately I have been stretched in God, as bad as it sounds I don't always have the courage to go up and pray for people when needed, but with courage from my awesome boyfriend and the holy spirit stirring in me from Storm camp I prayed for my Mum. She has been quite sick lately and through God I believe she is now a lot better. 

God is so good!

 Something that has been on my heart as well is being water baptised. I have been walking with Jesus for 3 years this May and I still haven't been baptised yet. I was asked yesterday if I wanted to be baptised that night and to be honest I am a people pleaser and was going to say yes on the spot, before I had the chance to my youth pastor said to take time and to think about it and meditate on it. So that is what Im doing.. I heard there are Christians that have been for years and only recently got baptised.
 In God's time I know I will feel on my heart when the right time is and I will do it for ME! 

I was listening to Brooke Fraser's first album "What to do with daylight" and I came across the song Indelible and I relsied I didnt even know what that meant, so i looked it up. Thank you google :)



in·del·i·ble/inˈdeləbəl/Adjective

1. (of ink or a pen) Making marks that cannot be removed.
2. Not able to be forgotten or removed: "his story made an indelible impression on me"


After finding out what the word meant this song became so much more awesome! 


Walk along here,feel you move somewhere in front of me
I can't place you with these eyes for the doubt I can't see

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me?
Hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why i believe

[Chorus]
That the first time I see your face
Everything else around me will fade to the background
And I'll be struck full by the truth in your gaze
As you work and indelible change in me

All I have and all I am and all I think and do
Can find it's purpose and meaning and life only in you

How could someone so beautiful
Feel something for me?
Won't you hold me and love me and touch me again
And show me why I believe

[Chorus x2]

An indelible change in me
An indelible change in me

(has Spanish subtitles though lol) 

"You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever."
- Psalm 30:11-12

So... me and 2010

This year was actually a really great year! I had what I think one of the best years of my life. I actually can even tick a few things off my 2010 new year resolutions.

I travelled to 4 different places, that I had never been to before..
  • Tairua (thanks Dan!)

  • Raglan, (Petes home town) this was one of the coolest group trips we all went on. We went to so many places in one day. Awesome time management guys :)

  • Mangawai ( Murphs Uncles Place) This was a great lil break away from the city!

  • Palmerston North (Johnstons new home town) This was a cool trip. 6 hour drive with Adam and Jess...was actually really cool :)


A few other highs...

  • My 21st! Had the best 21st with my close family and friends.


  • Getting to know Jesses family better :) always in for laughs at Huber.

  • Storm 2010, lil sis Janelle gave her life! The best choice you can ever make. Was an epic camp.

  • Getting Bash! Finally got a lil kitten. He’s such a character and always makes me smile.



In the MEDIA




Weddings..




Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden
These guys are so cute! I am in love with Nicole’s dress as well.





Engagements..

Prince William and Kate, cutest engagement picture ever! It’s like they never spent any time apart. I also like how Wills kept the same kinda ring as his Mums, aww.


Break ups





Scar Jo and Ryan Renolds
It is sad when any marriage ends..but c'mon Mr Ryan Renolds is back on the market, that can never be a bad thing :)



Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens
This actually was really sad :( I wasn’t a huge fan of the HSM series but knowing they were together even after the cameras was really cool. They should of got married!  " can I have this dance...."


My body...your body..

Kelly Osbourne
She looks really good now and I don’t know if it’s just me but her fashion sense has upgraded quite a bit.
