The Prodigy!
The concert the other day was as great as I expected. It was awesome, magical, phenomenally good! It got really crowded, hot and sweaty. It felt like Bikram Yoga, that's how much we all sweat ed. The staff had to spray us with water in the mosh pit to keep us cool so we wouldn't faint from the heat. But man even if it was that horrible, it was so worth it! They were really good at stage and they played both new and old songs. Some of the songs they played were breathe, voodoo people, fire starter, smack my bitch up, invaders must die (which was the best song throe the whole concert according to me!), omen and some other new songs that I didn't recognize because I havent listened to the new album (I have bought it over internet and im gonna get it 23 of feb...yeeey!). After the concert we were all planning on going swimming in the ocean but nobody did because it was to cold in the water. We all just went home because we were all exhausted after the hot day and the mad concert.
The day after I finally went to work out at a gym with Sasha and Njegos, which felt soo good (feels less good today with my sore muscles...) and after that we went to the beach for some much needed cooling in the beautiful ocean water. After the stunning sunset we all went to Sasha, Andrew and Njegoses place to chill and just hang out. Owerall a good day exept the ridiculously hot weather which is feeling much cooler and better today. Hopefully it will get better the days that are about to come.

Hot Summer Day
Yesterday I saw my other family here in Aussie. We spent the day at the beach, walking, talking and drinking smoothies. After that I went for dinner at Phillips grandmas place where the food was delicious! We ended the day at Sasha and Andrews place were there was a little going away party for Erika. The day overall was pretty good and interesting.
Today its gonna be 40 degrees so I am not going to do so much until the sun goes down, when I might go to steps again and then cool off by swimming in a lake.
Tomorrow is a big big day for me. Its when I'm finally going to see my sweethearts, the PRODIGY!!! Gonna be awesome! Cant wait =)=)=)

Flee attack!
Yesterday I finally went for a bike ride and I even got company by Leonard's sister Deb. It was great riding bike weather and it was so nice getting out in the nature again (we rode in a park near by). Its pretty nice weather today as well so I think im going for a ride again.
Yesterday I also helped Phillip try out his new light kit by modelling for him. It was fun but i didn't like the results. Well see how the picture looks like after his cheating with them on the computer.
Today's tasks are going out with Jano, ride the bike, clean the apartment and look for jobs. I just hope I will have the time to do all off that when time is my only enemy.

More Birthdays

Phillips 21st Birthday
These couple of days I haven't been doing so much. This Monday, I went with Phillip and his two photographer friends on a day trip to the coast to take some photos. I got some pretty nice shots but overall I am pretty disappointed. I really like taking photos and I would like to become a better photographer but I need more practice. I think Phillip has waken up my interest in that and I am glad he did. I hope he can help me develop my skills and make me a better photographer.
Yesterday Phillip turned 21 years old and we celebrated that with a little party for him where family and friends were invited. Something I have discovered here is that 21st birthdays are a big celebration, like turning 18 in Sweden. I thought it was a bit strange because you get legal (det australiensiska ordet för myndig, dont ask me why its called that) at 18, as in most of the Europein countries, but still, turning 21 is bigger then turning 18. The way they think is when you turn 18, you become an adult, you can buy alcohol, take the divers license etc., but when you turn 21, you become a real adult, you move away from home, have more responsibilities and so on. Anyway, it was a really nice 21st birthday party with good food and good company. On saturday Phillip is having one more party but this time with only his friends. We gonna bbq and after that, go out clubbing.
Yesterday I also got a bike (yeey!) so today im going for a bike ride. I hope I dont get lost...best to take the phone with me =)

My Sick Little Lappie
Yesterday was Leonard's surprise going away party (hes leaving us to go to Amsterdam to study for 7 months =( )...well it was supposed to be a surprise party but that went to hell (long story). Apart from that, the night was a real success. We started on a club called The Apartment were we got served finger food and were we mingled and danced. It was really nice talking and getting to know Phillips friends. I'm really starting to like them and I'm getting more relaxed around them for every day that goes which is good. Thanks guys, you know who you are! After that club we drove to a guys warehouse rave party where we stayed for about an hour, before we went home all exhausted. Owerall it was a good night with a lot of laughter, dancing and good company. I will put up pictures from the night as soon as my computer is reborn and ready to cooperate with me again. Now im going to take little Jano for a walk so Phillip can start working on his magic.

But today im going to try get a bike (hopefully a cheap one at a garage sale), work out (yoga again) and take more pictures (tonight when we are going out to party).

Bikram Yoga
Today was a special day for me. It was the day I took my yoga virginity. Misha (Phillips friend if you didn’t know that) asked me if I wanted to try it out and as the maniac I am, I said yes. That was the most intense training I have ever had! I don’t think I have ever sweated so much in my life before. Just imagine a room set on 29 degrees Celsius, 20 people in it, sweating for 90 min…it was just horrible. And with all that, you had to do all these different yoga positions and movements. I thought I was going to pass out 90 % of the time, but I just kept on doing everything as the instructor said, cuz god forbid you didn’t do as she said. She would probably humiliate you in front of the class; spank your bum or something. But luckily we all survived the 90 min of torture and actually felt pretty good after, so good that we are coming back as soon as Saturday to work out again. For you that haven’t tried yoga yet, I would really recommend to try it, at least once in your lifetime. Even thou it was really tough and exhausting, I felt so good after, all cleansed and free. It’s such a good work out and good body experience. So wish me good luck on Saturday again!

Unfair World
Guess what I saw on the freeway yesterday? A truck loaded with chickens in small cages piled on each other. It was the first time I’ve seen an animal transport and it’s was completely horrible! That’s why I’m a vegetarian and that’s why I hate that industry where animals are treated like products and not as living beings as they should be! That industry just makes me sick! Why is it so hard giving these animals a good and worthy life before we kill them? Why aren’t there more farmers with free ranged animals? Why are consumers so selfish when they buy meat? Isn’t it worth buying that ecological meat that’s a little bit more expensive, for the animal’s sake…to know that they had a meaningful life before they ended up on our plates? Sadly too many people wander in the darkness, not knowing the truth of what’s happening in our world. I think more people should open their eyes and face the reality. If we continue keeping our eyes closed, we are never going to make any difference in this unfair world!
Enough of that, lets talk about something more fun. Yesterday I saw Australia with my Aussie family and it was pretty good. It was entertaining and very Hollywoodish, which isn’t necessarily a compliment. A bit to long according to me but overall it was an ok movie. Today it’s my first day home alone and I’m spending it in front of the computer and playing with the cute little kitten (Leila) and dog (Jano). I’m looking forward to tonight when me, Phill and his friend Leonard is going to a Jazz club.
I also wanted to say sretan bozic to all Serbian orthodox (and Greek orthodox of course!) because it’s our Christmas today, 7th of January. Hope that all of you that celebrate it have a good Christmas.
Pictures from new years and pets are coming up as soon as I figure out how to paste them on my blog =)
