Gift
wow, would you believe I received a parcel in the post today. I opened it and there was a wonderful unexpected gift from a friend from Scotland who I met for the first time in Auckland.
“Double Twist - Pikoura
Depicts Two New Shoots Growing Together. Represents the Joining of Cultures, the Bonding of Friendship.”
Two new shoots growing [...]BODYPUMP launch - 4th June
Our launches have been scheduled for next week, starting Saturday and going through to Thursday. BODYPUMP is being launched in my timeslot on Monday 4th June at 7pm and the theme is:
~ Tiaras ~ feathers ~ leather ~ lace ~
Now, just by accident I actually seem to be quite organised for this launch, and I’ve worked out what I’m [...]Dad is back in hospital
Another scare, dad’s back in hospital. He’s ended up with an infection in his arm from the needle thingy they had in his arm……they thought he had scepticemia or something. I have no idea how to spell it, mum just named it over the phone. But then he was transfered to Flinders Hospital because it [...]
when you’re bored (hyper?) + a webcam
well, here’s what happens when you’re feeling a bit hyperactive (like after a combat class) and chatting with someone on MSN and webcam doesn’t work properly.
I didn’t know this, but when you’re feeling in a strange mood, you start doing silly things like taking pictures instead with the webcam…….once you find out what that button [...]Standing on a fitball!
I’ve done it! I’ve done it! And not just once, but TWICE. I just had to beat Sofie in the efforts to stand on the fitball….hehehe.
I have to say, I did take a few nasty falls out of it. I appear to not have broken anything, but I’m sure I’m gonna have to pay a [...]What kind of Empath are you?
This may not be for everybody, but you’ll know if you understand what it means.
You scored as Judge. You are a Judge Empath, one who is a “truthsayer”. You can tell truth from lies, good from evil. You do not tolerate wrong doing. You are a defender of the good and the innocent. You are [...]
Nerds Escaped
On the night of Monday 21 May, 5 detainee’s of a mental institution escaped and entered the gym at Zest Modbury. One, who is a BODYBALANCE instructor, took a class while the other 4 stood gleefully at the front whilst the remainder of the class were held hostage and participated in fear…..or entertainment…..one of the [...]
New trick
Well, I guess I haven’t posted all week. I can’t quite remember if there’s been anything of value to write about…….but I did learn a new trick today c/o Sofie
We’ve had a stand in TTP shopping centre all week and today I did a shift on the stand with Sofie. She had been [...]Chiro
Went to my trusty chiro today for the first time in quite a while. I have a lot of respect for my chiro, since not only did he help rehabilitate me from my back injury all those years ago, but he’s also helped me in the last couple of years with my shoulder injury. He [...]
Update
Dad is still in hospital and we’re still none the wiser about his prognosis. They’ve been doing more tests, but they’re unable to do a biopsy due to the location the tumor is in. Operation is out of the question aswell since it’s sitting right on the brain stem, an operation would likely completely paralyse him so [...]
#1 Club Trainer
This week is full of highs and lows, to the extreme. After the great holiday and then the bad news, now I get back to work to find out I achieved number 1 Club Trainer in the state last month. I got 2nd a couple of months ago, now I’m number 1. It was the [...]
Bad news
oh no, I just found out today that my dad has a brain tumor. I’m in shock, I don’t really know what to do/think yet. I guess this turns a lot of things around. Not much else to say as there’s not enough details nor info on how bad it is yet.
Back home…
well, the flight home was rather uneventful. First time I’ve flown Air New Zealand and somehow they seem quite “different”. Can’t put my finger on it, but I could just tell I wasn’t flying QANTAS or Virgin. Maybe it was the accents, lol. Our flight got delayed for an hour due to heavy fog….first time [...]
Leaving tomorrow..
well, it’s nearly all over. The filmings are done, we had drinks and pizza after the filmings and it was awesome to get one last chance to socialise before going home. I feel a bit sad now though. Flight is first thing tomorrow morning and part of me doesn’t want to go home. Part of [...]
BODYBALANCE 38 filming
For the balance filming we had Jackie, Dr Dave, Anita and Cory presenting. I’d seen a couple of the BB classes and I felt that Cory improved considerably from the first class I did with him to the filming. It just all came together in the filming. The other presenters did seem a bit more [...]
