New chapter + Friday Filler

I want to make it a point, to write when I can without distractions. I need to re-evaluate some things and most importantly, have a schedule I can follow.

I am currently living with my brother and doing my internship at a digital ad agency. Talk about hitting 2 birds with one stone; moving out and getting a job. What comes along with this package? Cooking for my brother and I! It's not a problem, it's just that it requires some planning for groceries and meals for the both of us.The horror.

I can wake up early, sometimes even without the alarm! :) The only thing I miss, is coming home to house with a dog & parents to talk to. We talk over the phone, but, let's face it, I'm a people person. I need people or dogs to function. le sigh

So what is Friday Filler all about? I will be blogging about life/personal entries on Friday. Not saying that Sunday's Blog post is going to be any different, it's just that with social media & shizz, blog post may or may not be interpreted in the wrong way. Long story short : Friday is personal and Sunday is all fun and games! Travel and things. :)

Speaking about travel, can you believe it has almost been a year since I did my crazy 1 month in US trip? I cannot believe how fast time is flying. It's not cool! I mean, one moment you're 17 and you're getting your life in order and before you know it, you're 24 and this is your life. 

Always remember you can change your circumstances, you have the choice. Wanna go skydiving? Tell someone how you feel? Learn a new skill. Yes, I'm also talking to myself when I blog. :P 

I just really want things to flow properly; making vlogs, writing blogs, reading my books (audioble looks really tempting), exercising, eating right, etc. It is possible, I just need to know how I can make it happen. Time to draw a table! 

“The person you want to be does exist; somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief. And, beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead” - Lucas Scott.

Satellite Call

This one's for the lonely child
Brokenhearted, running wild
This was written for the one to blame
One who believe they are the cause of chaos and everything

1. Dishonor on your family, dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow, should you get a job in retail.
2. Your ideas were actually great, but I had to hear it from someone else for it to make sense.
3. Everyone else is moving on with their life and then there is you, stuck in a rut.
4. Can't keep any friends since most of them are asses. Hence, trust issues & the frustration of telling anyone the long stories and why you don't exactly have a best friend.
5. Let's compare you to someone and make you feel like crap. *thumbs up*
6. Might as well kiss your dreams of everything you ever wanted goodbye. You're not going to get it anyway.

Thank you everyone for a wonderful performance! You did great.

Wilmington (September 2011) Part 2

I promised pictures of food and other things that we did in Wilmington. Could I just say that, I didn't take decent pictures of my food; it was out of focus and I'm embarrassed. It was also my first time taking my DSLR on a journey, as I'd only gotten it a few month before the trip. #genius.

After meeting Shantel, we went for lunch, generally hung out with Lisa, her son Grayson & her friend Josh. Then she dropped us back at the hotel, kept in touch, cause on Tuesday, we're going to try to meet Antwon Tanner (he played Skills), Lee Norris (he played Mouth), Sophia Busy (how can you not know Brooke Davis :P ) & Austin Nichols (Julian Baker).

A friend on the inside told Lisa that they would be filming at the River Court on Tuesday morning. I told Lisa that I will meet her there, but then suggested that she better pick me up downtown, just in case there is no boat around that time shuttling people from the downtown area to the River Court. Lisa picked my mum and I up & we were on our way to watch some filming!

Lee Norris & Antwon getting ready for a scene

They only put up the backboards when they are filming, so other people can't play when they 

need to use the court. The WB was renting this basketball court  from the battle ship. 

DUN DUN DUN, TRAILERS! No we didn't go near it, so we don't know who was inside. 

We did see the guy who played Xavier. 

And, they tore down the river court after One Tree Hill finished filming. -_-

Antwon Tanner! 

They would not let us take a photo with Lee, cause he had make up & a fat suit on. Basically, they didn't spoilers. pfft. However, there was a guy who was taking pictures. Not sure if he got into trouble or not. Oh well. So after we were done with the river court, we went to the area near Tric, to get a glimpse of Sophia Bush. We waited 3 hours and it was worth it. 

Sophia Bush! Who then gave me a high five when I told her that it took me 24 hours in total

to get to Wilmington, NC. 

Austin didn't come out to see us :( 

After that, we went for lunch at the Dixie Grill, where a lot of scenes with Austin Nichols were shot here. The food was good! I will go back when I can, with my own money, to do an actual tour of OTH, with the houses and all. In the next 5 years hopefully, for my own closure :P 

Once we were done with lunch, we tried waiting for Bethany Joy Lenz & Paul Johansson. I think they told us to move back a bit/ filming might take longer, so we didn't get to see them.

All in all, it was a good experience. Here are my tips if you plan on visiting a place, just to watch your favourite show film.

1. Do your research on the place you plan to visit. Find out all the locations you want to go to & if you can get to them easily.
2. Dedicated fan forums usually have someone list out if they are filming in a certain location, so be sure to check those out. If you have someone on the inside, even better :P
3. If you can make a friend, like how I was able to, you're good to go. Plus, it will be a friend a for life ;)
4. Last but not least, check your photo's to make sure that you have taken a good photo. The last thing you need is a blurry/out of focus picture, that you can't brag about.

5 days in Wilmington was certainly not enough, which is why I went back in 2013, in the hopes of going to see some of the house & to catch up with Lisa & Kendall. More on that in the upcoming blog posts.

Happy New Year! (I know I'm late)

Happy New Year and I am finally back from my unnecessary hiatus! 2013 was an interesting one with a bunch of travels, adventures & eating things as June reminded me. I well get to my sushi eating experience at the end of this post :)

So, new year, new goals blah blah blah. I need a job & I need money. I also need to make sure I put out content consistently and be elaborate about certain things but maybe keep it short & sweet (what am I doing??)

The life achievements I would like to unlock this year are, (calling them achievements because life is pretty much a game)

1. Finally get my washboard abs by my 24th birthday
2. Start playing the piano again & be able to play Sara Bareilles's King Of Anything, Love Song, Hercules & Brave (getting a wee bit over my head xD )
3. Learn to play the guitar
4. Finish reading the Pendragon book series. 1-9.
5. Cook everything from 1 Jamie Oliver book
6. Master my DSLR & have a printout of some of my awesome shots *thumbs up*
7. Learn to speak Tamil. 

So far, it is the 7th of January, I have not cooked, have not read Pendragon, have not played the piano. I have been learning a little bit of Tamil, however it is not enough to order anything from an Indian restaurant. *shy*

My room has been in a mess, my camera needs to be sent for repair, I NEED A JOB. Should change the title of this post to I need a job, post my resume here and pray for a miracle. I'm joking. Maybe I'm not. 

I also need to make videos. There has to be a way to make this work. D: 

I hope you can complete your goals for the year & virtual high five if you're on track. I'll see you this Sunday with a continuation of my travels to Wilmington Part 1, while I scramble to put together all my other stories. 

Good night!
