My actual birthday was on the 28th of April but last weekend I celebrated my birthday with a few friends over the long weekend.

We headed out to Draculas on Saturday night and it was simply amazing! Not that I was expecting anything less because I have already been 2 times (so obviously there is a reason I’m coming back for my 21st!)

For those of you who don’t know what Draculas is…. you don’t know what your MISSING! Its a MUST do on your “to do before I die” list. Draculas shows change around every 6 months? Below is the one we went and saw.

BLACK BLOOD is a retro Goth comedy show, featuring vampyre themed variety acts
that spring straight out of South London’s popular electro rock era of the 1980’s.
The show oozes with gold spandex, black lace and wicked satire as it rips
into modern culture with fangs bared and a healthy appetite for laughter.

Not only was I able to spend a great night with friends and family at Draculas – I presently surprised to realise that I would be staying in a Sub Penthouse for the long weekend!! (yes, I am very spoilt!) Below is a panorama picture taken of the main room

and below this of course (in the post below) is the picture of one of my cakes that I was lucky enough to receive.

I just saw this on sunrise and since I’m a poor uni student, I thought the least I could do was try and help people become more aware of this competition.

Below is the facebook link. All you have to do is go onto facebook and read up all about it. If you are interested in entering the competition then follow the link on facebook to buy a ticket on eBay and then make a website to help promote “CyberKnife” the cancer treatment.

Would look awesome if I could actually put the video on my website instead of the link but al-las Ben May is way to busy to show me how

After recieveing Zumba as a Christmas present (2009) I haven’t been able to stop doing it! Not only do I dance away the fat at home but in classes as well. You will always find Bianca and myself busting out our moves (from skills learnt off the DVD) in either the Hervey Bay or Toowoomba classes!!

Zumba is so much fun and is the best way to stay fit!

Zumba® fuses hypnotic latin rhythms and easy to follow moves to create a dynamic fitness program that will blow you away.  Zumba® Fanatics achieve long term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exhilarating hour of caloric-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!

The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms, and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you’ve got Zumba®!

Afer having people tell me “oh your uni life is so easy” NOW I can agree with you. 

Check out my timetable for this SEMESTER! The green and purple is just Concert Band and choir – so that doesn’t really count….and the pencil marking doesn’t count as a class either.

So I pretty much have one proper lecture on Monday from 9-12… man! Now I have to work more!

ignore the non-colour markings

After completing my music technology course, I thought I might share with you my last piece of assessment.

For my portfolio I chose 4 sounds that were representations of my life and changed them in different way.

Yes it does sound VERY weird and some sounds are EXTREMLY annoying

*I’m just waiting for a reply on how to actually put it in a post*

More rules for those of us who have their licence. Commencing on the 12th October 2009 these following rules have been added in/changed:

The changes include banning the use of fog lights in clear night driving weather and performing u-turns across single continuous centre lines. Other amendments target driving with unsecured passengers and outlawing wheeled recreational devices, such as skateboards, on the road after dark
