Just came back from the physio today, wasn't as expensive as I thought (thinking dentist figures) sprained my ankle in the same place like 3 times last night while playing indoor football, its been a month now of playing football and I'm so happy to have achieved one of my goals for 2013.
Still, took the day off work today because so hard to move around at the moment. I woke up, got out of bed and almost fell over, my foot felt like it was on fire, so hard to sleep without it hurting. So with this unexpected though welcomed time off I Thought this would be a great opportunity to catch up on some blogging. Check out my new football shoes and my injuries from just a couple of weeks of futsal.
Bruises everywhere sigh.
Work is going great, just got offered a full time job, which is pretty awesome, just like civic, I started PT and got promoted to fulltime :) I'm stoked I'm still here, I was surprised I got the job from the interview stage, and surprised I still have it now, I must be doing something right :) Hoping when wifey gets back from overseas, we can start planning to buy a house so I can finally set up my gym, its been 2-3 years of not training at home because I live in apartments where walls are thin and floorboards creak, anyway, this is a pic of where I work, pretty different from my hornby days huh?
At the chinese new year lantern festival ;)
So whats new? Well, my car finally died a grisly death on the 26th of February. Green blood sprayed everywhere like the death of alien. Coolant massacre, I wasn't going to bring frankenstein back to life again so I got it towed from avondale (the other side of Auckland where I was doing a fitting so bad timing) back here to panmure and sold it for parts. Carless but not going back to public transport I bought a cheap run around from the same mechanic so I could get to all my engagements. Check out some pics below, its like a ladybird on wheels :) A mazda revue ;)
Parking is alot easier now, just like my Austin. Strange that its red, christchurch seems to be blue cars, Auckland red, coincidences are funny.
Having a job again means I can start buying action films from around the world like I used to like to do, look what arrived from India yesterday, my boy Salman khan :) Mr charisma is awesome, I love his movies, I decided the next ones Id watch Id own instead, so yeah, looking forward to watching these :)
So I've finally FINALLY got myself a copy of Adobe premiere and photoshop. Now I can finally start doing my mini film projects and then prepare for Chase. The first of these projects is a short test film I filmed with 2 friends, Rhys, who I met during the emperor shoot last year and Ben, who I studied with at SAE. Here are some screenshots from some of the editing work before I cut it up.
And here is the finished video, check it out, the first short film for 2013 :)
And lastly, I wanted to talk about vision, and everything happening for a reason. I do a lot of things that seem crazy at the time but I figure in my gut there is a reason for it. The other day I saw Guillotines in Cinema by myself (subtitled films you see) and Though it wasn't that good, I met up with Ben who I hadn't seen since graduation, we talked and I found he was free on wednesday which meant I had someone like minded to help me shoot on wednesday, then I went to an artshow which I never do to see some of Rhys work and learnt hes still in the acting game hard out and blam, next minute Pay up was sorted...
With my full time job its hard to find time off that I can be bothered with doing some extra work, The last 2 days this week I took part in a commercial which was awesome, I'll share more about it once it airs but thought it was 15 and 13 hour days it was a lot of fun and I hope one day to get my damned film off the ground and start making a career of it because, don't get me wrong, I love my job, but that wasn't why I moved to Auckland nor what i want out of life.
In staying with my, everything happens for a reason thing, though I don't normally say yes to doing extra work I did on this occasion for some reason it turned out to be an awesome decision, not only did I meet up with my emperor co extra Denny (short film later this year I hope) I laso met a guy who actually taught my original sensei and he has own club affiliated with japan. Guess who will be studying karate again next week? :)
Seen Die hard this weekend, was bloody awesome, destruction, one liners and trucks and cars flying everywhere, fnatatsic, wish for more willis though,a tip for diehard 6? He was awesome as always :), love the cut out in the cinema :)
Also hoping to do some more karoake, I forgot how awesome bohemian rhapsody is to sing lol
Anyways all in all, making progress slowly but this year is make or break so expect some big changes over the coming months in terms of promoting myself and my dream, thanks for keeping up with me, and I hope everything is going well with your own journeys, I'll leave you with some of my fav photos of our zoo trip last month which was fun :)
