Inspiration

So i've been meaning to write a blog for some time - i constantly have ideas in my head that i want to jot down but have been to slack to commit to write them or even remember them. I want to blame this on being sick. I haven't been this ill for a while now and i get quite cranky when i am slowed down by a virus and pains and pangs, i have put so much off lately, yet constantly write down to-do lists in my diary. I'm still focused, i still want to work hard for what i want though - so don't get me wrong on this account. Although it has been a few days since the last time i went to the gym, my body is deffinatly on down time due to this headcold/stomach bug. It is now my mission to stay oncourse with my lactose and sugar free diet. It's killing me to feel this sick again not only for cold reasons but for back reasons and stomach reaons. In all honesty i have let myself slip so much since finishing uni. Just started going out more, spending more money on things that are bad for me. I have the inspiration, i have the strength and the will to fix things in my life. I am going to start focusing on these things and focus on getting myself to the stage i was at only a month or so ago. Going to the gym with louise is really helping this out. Of course everyone gets frustrated when results don't happen instantly - such as me still feeling ill. Sigh. What a winge of a paragraph - these winges need to be expressed to fully comprehend hidden potential - right? Haha.

I have some wonderful people around me though to encourage me and also to boost my ego which holds me back; it balances out eventually.

In other news:

My attempts at sewing have been getting more frequent. I've been getting really inspired latelty to try new things and to try making my own clothes in general. A good excuse recently is my boyfriends cousin's cocktail party and instead of me spending horrible hours at the shops searching for a dress that is 1. nice 2. a nice colour 3. fits 4. looks good and 5. is comfortable is much worse then the idea to make my own cocktail dress...one that matches my hair too! So off i set to Spotlight with Louise and found myself some nice blue satin material and not only that but assortments of ribbon and frilly material to make a strapless cocktail dress. With all this enthusiasim i set out and created the dress with no help over two nights i measured, cut and sewed together the basic dress. Luckily Rachel was in my reach on Monday whilst driving home from the Gold Coast and i lured her inside my house to help me out. ( i had no clue how to put in an invisible zip!) It went from invisible zip to darts, shaping the dress, making it fit my body properly and then the zip as well as some extra flare - adding frills on the top of the dress. Overall Rachel seemed pretty content working out this andthat and i am forever grateful with her talent and patience and expertese. My dress looks so freaking Fabulous! Im in love with it! I would post a photo of it up here but i don't have one as yet. I will however post a photo of the night with me in it!

Im also making a bow that matches the dress, it has a giant bow on it with sparkles and frills, Blue, black and possibly some white mesh soon to be added. So decadent! It will be gorgeous. Not to mention having to re-dye my hair. The blue has faded from my blonde a bit and needs a bit of a revamp. Not to mention my desperation for a hair cut!

Thanks has to go to Rachel for the help on this one. I don't think i would be as happy without her inspiration and assistance.

Overall,

Im going to get back into eating the right foods for my stomach or i will destroy my insides.
I hope you get inspiration and achieve your weeks goals -no matter how big or small.

Much love
Jade

Dear Blog World, ;)

tattoo's are my mind's topic today.
I got my first tattoo last year in August and now im officially addicted.
My Tat is on my right hip kinda on the undie line his name is Batou for he is a bat.
I drew him myself and love him immensly, i am obsessed with Batman and have been since i was little - i love the comics, the cartoons, the movies, anything associated with it (excpet for pointy chin batman - he's not so great) - So i drew myself my own bat and he is so very me and so very great. But my other hip is lonely so i really am considering drawing a robin and getting it done on the other side a bat and robin...Get it? ;) Pretty lame right? Everyone seems to think so. But i think the idea is quirky and very me. So the possibilities are high!

I also want to invest some serious time into designing a leg piece about 25 cm in height and 20 cm long in colour. I have drawn up some beautiful portrait's of some Zombie girls, but im not too sure if that what i want to go for now. I do but i don't. I know that im going to have it in a very tattoo style and in vibrant beautiful colours. But this one will take a while. Someone who inspires me constantly, and has for many many many MANY years now is GlitterSniffer aka Tegan Coddington from WA Perth. Check it


So tattoo's have really been on my mind lately, especially seeing as a close friend is finally deciding to get her's inked on her too. Which will be awesome! As well as it being something drawn by her for herself - there is nothing so much more rewarding in the tatooing world i do believe.

So i'm officially on the prowl for ides and little ideas to get me started!



In other news, i had a fantastic weekend! Hope yours went wonderfully too!
I spent saturday day doing stuff just for me, seeing my boy, my radio show which entailed the a-z of Jades library then to come home gets dressed up and go out with some of my favourite people! We danced all night long and i drank alot of vodka and purple drinks! It was fantastic! I did only get a few hours sleep however to go straight to work and push on through the day witha slight hang over. But i ended up curled up on the couch with my love so all in all i had a fantastic weekend. The way they should be hay?

Im off now to create a new cocktail dress for a party, im making a blue strapless dress with some old school material on the stop with some sparkles maybe for Australia day long weekend.
My hair will match my dress - but oh well!

One love.

TODAY: WHY NOT?



Yes a blog again! ALREADY!?

I have been awake for about 2 hours and the rush is already on!
Having been to the doctors, bought stocking and nails for tonight as well as working for about 2 minutes it is going to be a good day! ;) I was rostered on for work today, to be told they stuffed the roster and i am wanted tomorrow...even though i plan to be hung over from a great night out i will get double time and i need that money! SO WHY NOT!

they are going to be a bit shocked when they see me tomorrow morning. Very Very amusing.



As most people in my life know, i have a radio show 3 times a week, i have decided that i should start making a pod cast for it! I can take the shows i've done and create pod casts for those that always ask! Great way to expand hey!
Not only that i will be adding weekly or sometimes more than weekly - playlists of my shows. To keep you up to date ;)
WHY NOT!

Gosh im in a good mood! even though i deffinetly need more sleep.

As i have a new addiction i have a new folder in my toolbar named appropriatly ' If I had a Credit Card'..This weeks additions being

• Spehora - I'm not very talented at using fake eyelashes, but these gorgeous things i would learn! I really want feather eyes and to then do an awesome photo shoot!
• KittyStar - OMG I WANT AWESOME CAMERAS LIKE THESE!
  
• IF ONLY they had my size i would buy these INSTANTLY
• This - hell yes i really want one and it's in Brisbane too! :)

That's it so far - the rest are fairly old links.

Feel good
Have some Me time
Clean up my room - throw out the unnessecary stuff!


HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND. Enjoy it. Saturday's are for fun! ;)

Currently listening to: Andre 3000: The Love Below
Honestly this album is one of the best albums ever created, it is internationally recognised as one of the most comprehensive albums (beat wise etc). I don't know much about music, but i know that fact.
Yep a bunny - because Gala's blog reminded me how much i miss
my bunny & how much i want a new fluff ball to love

So lately my happy buzz has been on holidays.
Ive been happy for so long i forgot how it feels to just want to sit and be quiet and contemplative.
Everyone needs that time. Time for themselves, for evaluation, for recooperation. I havent had that sort of time in so long. Hopefully with joining the gym and working out i can sweat out all these negative vibes - it usually works. Why not join your local PCYC - it's hell cheap and also small and usually pretty quiet, PLUS the money is going to something worth while! :)

That's my helpful hint!
Joining the gym was my goal for January & seeing as it is already complete i have decided the next goal - to be completed before the end of Febuary - is to make my new dress! I have been hanging to sew it up for ages! I got the call the other day to tell me it is all ready for pick up. But now i am keen to make some more stuff while im at it. I need new clothes for uni anyway! :)

Today i set myself a list of things today before the night is out. Work and radio are out of the way now and im sitting at home cleaning my desk - well not yet - and sorting out my subjects for the first semester of uni. And soon i shall clean my room - that usually cheers me up. Ever feel like if your room was cleaner your life and mood will be too? I feel that constantly; even though im one of the messiest people i know. So im chilling with a coffee ... or two to get me through this list. Im determined to finish it and just relax while im at it too. I've had a fairly uneventful day - work was rather bland but what can i expect working in retail.

Someone, very special, just said this to me

" Its nice to have nice things but at the end of days the only thing you take with you are memories, so gather many."

We were talking about traveling and were he has been. That is the most inspiring thing anyone has said to me in weeks. It's weird how one moment life is just quiet and still with no great expecations and BAM a sentence is said and your whole outlook changes.

One day i will:

Tavel the world - whereever i want to go i will go! I will work hard.
Get paid for my Radio talents!
Go to massive Music festivals over seas

Thats all i want right now. But this list is ever changing and ever growing.

Also a though that has been running through my brain of late is how one moment someone is there and the next they aren't.
I can't walk out the door without telling me parents i love them.
I don't want the last thing i say to someone to have been hurtful.
I don't want the last memory to be sore or sad.
I don't want to leave someone to move on or otherwise and have to hang on to the one thing i should've said, or the one thing i shouldn't have.

These thoughts make me remind myself how much i must love life, i must love the day when i wake, the people i meet. Not forced. But just doing it naturally. Having that focus in 2008 has really shaped me and who i am. And it must carry on through 2009 no matter what. I enjoyed 2008 completly and utterly and i intend to make the most of 2009 too.

Get-Set...GO

Entry One: (written) 5^th of January

I decided it was time to create a space for blogging instead of Myspace and this place seemed like a good place to start; My mate Louise has a blog here, so now i can keep updated and what-not. Another reason for creating this blog was to keep a track of 2009. Usually i keep a diary but i have become insanely slack with writing and throughout my first year of uni i have become a lot more dependent upon my laptop and in the last few weeks a bit addicted to some websites. More so in the last few months i have checked my emails every 5-15 minutes; emails from friends, the boyfriend, and general subscriptions and the radio station i volunteer at. I am a complete follower of my laptop, it feels like a confident and 2^nd limb to me since getting it a year ago – i really don’t care how pathetic that sounds nor how sad for my generation and the ones that follow, technology has taken over and that’s that. We are a sad species that we depend upon technology, google, wikapedia compared to our senses and knowledge that should be within our brains at birth.

On that note; an anime which really pushes this topic more is Arjuna (Compliments to Tom – my boyfriend for this one) About this highschool girl who become the avatar for time and realises everything we consume is a twisted disgusting version, that everything should be organic and our bodies are sick... sorta thing. It's diffucult to explain. But go watch it and enviro's out there, you will love it

Carrying on...

Inspired to create a blog here from frustrating of Myspace and actually writing in a diary as well as reading all random blogs from around the place and my dear friend Louise also i shall begin with the last few days of 2009. Maybe even New Years Eve. It was a rather monumental NYE this time around, 2008 consisted of wonderful events, new friends, old friends, inspiration, courage, confidence and so much more. So what better way to celebrate then have my favourite people come to my place for a few drinks and whatever we felt like at the time. It was a great night around 8 of us just drank, talked and laughed all night long until i couldn’t take sleep deprivation much longer and kippered out. The first day of 2009 was spent making pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast, drinks all morning, sitting around my lounge room playing GTA4 on PS3 until we were hungry again and the girls and I climbed into a car and purchased $84.95 of Hungry Jacks. Only for the whole day to fly by, clean the house and kick everyone out to pack my bag with Tom head to his house and have dinner with his wonderful older brother. The next morning we went to the airport to see Marc (his older brother) off. Then to head to a boat and finally for the first time in our relationship over to Moreton; it’s only taken us nearly a year and a half to make it there. For the last 3 days I have spent it in a beach house with Tom and his uncle drinking homemade beer, swimming, walking, eating and reading. It was extremely relaxing! I love Moreton I’ve decided, not just Moreton but also a few other place I have been in the last year – including Gold coast Currumbin, Fraser etc. Moreton is a pretty special place for Tom so it was good to see him just stop thinking and relax. (He is currently on the couch next to me playing MGS4 just relaxing before he starts work tomorrow – also MGS4 is “apparently” his life hahah or something along those lines. Pretty much he is a walking genious at this game. Sounds like a nerd? Well kinda. But i am a massive nerd so be warned; although pretty much my friends will read this and thats it.

It is now the 5^th day of 2009 and i am currently sunburnt, relaxed and drinking a beer. I’d have to say it’s been fantastic already. Having had my phone turned off for 4 days now I have had no one bother me...directly. There were many MANY MANY messages, voicemail and otherwise, left on my phone when I turned it on. Some sweet, some harsh, some sad, some pathetic, some rude, BUT life goes on ...so wonderfully. Last year i tried my hardest, constantly, to reinforce positive thoughts and attitudes every day. It’s surprising how you can change an outlook on life by simply forcing your thoughts and brain on something that is either heart lifting and an instant smile. This year i intend to keep this up and continue to just loving the places i go or the people i spend time with. Happiness is all in the mind. To love yourself seems hard but to think of the one thing you like at the moment about youself is an instant pick up...i.e. Right now i can see my sparkly nails clicking away at the keyboard with blue flashing underneath them! It’s awesome, cause I’ve wanted sparkly blue nails for ages to match my awesomely blue hair! INSTANT SMILE MAKER!

That must seem like a rather random tangent! But these are just things that have been plaguing my mind for a while now that i feel the need to type down.

I have a much larger random blog i wish to write about a new obsession – shopping online. I have found so many GREAT things but i have no card to buy them with. So I am guna get myself a debit credit card of some such. There are some things i just need...or rather want desperately.

I will post this on a different date but it was the 5^th on which is was written. Don’t have wireless right now so i am stranded with no net in the lounge room...i could go and plug the computer in but im way to tired!

Positive love your way
