Sneak Peek

Okay so I didn't know they were taking the photo, I would have been listening to the TVC director telling me what to do etc. So that's why I'm not looking at the camera and why it looks like I am concentrating or in a far off place...lol.

But that's a sneak peek of what I'll look like as Dorothy (dress wise and maybe hair wise) and Frodo who will be playing Toto. Isn't he cute??

I have fiddled with this photo on the computer which is why it's colour looks different, it was very green before as (as I have mentioned) I was acting in front of a green screen.
Also this other photo is of me with Alison (the director) and Eliza (the Wicked Witch, of course) her costume hadn't been finished yet so she just put on a cape and painted herself green for the commercial. Hope you like it :)

Love Me xoxo

Feels like spring cleaning

Hey all!

I hope you don't mind the changes I made to my blog.
I really wanted a fresher feel to it, and a colourful head piece featuring the author of the blog and little tid bits that mean something to her (me). Obviously my darling Timmie is featured and roses as that (Rose) is my middle name and Grandpa Oscar refers to me in letters as Bria Rose. Something close to heart, and Jess took the photo' so yah...I just worked at pieces them together, I hope it looks artistic! Lol.

But that's all I have time for, gotta get back to work :)

Love Me xoxo

Progress

Hello again!

Thought I'd update yah's on the WOZ progress.

It's been really good so far, although we've only had 2 Sunday's when all the people we needed for a scene were actually there as a lot of people have been away.
But we locked in 3 scenes in those 2 days and that's good progress so we're happy so far!

I've been learning heaps of new stuff about singing, acting, dancing and just general show biz. It's amazing!!!

It was funny last night we rehearsed the 'Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.' its a really intense scene because it has the famous line and I have to do a lot of solo acting to lots of music. Alison (the director) says its really difficult, to her that scene is one of 'the scenes' its really important. She was happy with how Ashley (that's Galinda) and I tackled it, we're making progress!

Of course I am learning 'Over the Rainbow' to the vocal coach that song is 'everything' that's what a lot of people will be coming to hear. To her its the 'scene' so yah they both finish telling me how both scenes are full of such magic and awe and then they say 'No pressure.' it's quite funny :)

I was all geared up as Dorothy two weeks ago for the commercial and it was so awesome! I acted against a green screen...ooo!!!

But I can't fill in anymore as I have to get back to work, sorry if there are any mistakes!

Tomorrow is my 1st rehearsal!

Hello one and all! (Don't ask me who the one is...?) lol

Well! I hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays...last day (kinda)...sniff sniff...
We've mainly relaxed, took it easy. I continued work on two of my stories that seem to be evolving more so than my hundred others ;)

Of course I've been practising my script for the WOZ, not everyday because tomorrow part of the 1st rehearsal is we'll be going through it together, and while I have gone through the whole script and studied Act 1 more so than Act 2 I want to get a jist of what everyone else is portraying. I have my secret notes but I still wanna see what Alison (the director) has in mind as well.

But yes, tomorrow should be good! I am nervous...of course because I am shy! But all should be good. I found out that the guy who will be acting as the Lion is a Christian and that has encouraged me heaps!
That means that three of the main principals (thus far) are Christians, how awesome is that??!!

Can anyone guess what kinda of music I am listening to right now?
No sorry not the Wizard of Oz.
Any other guesses? ;)

I am listening to a recording of 'Tu lo sai' which means 'Ask thy heart' - its my Italian song for this year's singing exam.
I've been listening to my German one as well (its sooo pretty!)
They are both nice songs.

Yesterday Mumsie and I went to Harvey Norman and purchased some CDs that teach you German and Italian. So I'm gonna be learning what I can, I am praying God really helps me. He taught me this week that he's put this onto my plate because he believes I have the capacity to handle it. So I will. And I can.

And as to what exactly is on my plate right now well let me break it down for you :)

Grade 3 Theory Exam (I have to start theory now...meager beginnings) :)
Grade 6 Singing Exam
(so therefore)
Italian
German
And my other songs in English (breathe of fresh air...or should I say easy air!)
Preparation for the Eisteddfod

(But may I just add I am looking forward to learning the basics of both those languages! Its kinda exciting!)

Diploma of Management
Working 4 days a week (all the time)

Wizard of Oz will take up my weekends and two nights a week until the end of March/Beginning of April (as by then I will be performing - ooo! Mesa am excited!)

Theatre Restaurant with The Helen Earley Ensemble
Then into the Christmas production!

Also I have thought out (with God's help) a new savings plan. I am really really gonna hit my saving habits hard. I've worked it out and I am really excited to begin! Gotta get paid first...lol

So yah...that's what I've been up to, that's what I will be up to and...yah :)

Gotta go though (dinner)
Keep having fun!

From God to us

Hello,

Some of you might of heard that Jessica's cat Caleb who is 4 years old got a 'hot tick' on him on Wednesday.

A hot tick is a paralysis tick that is on its third suck. If it gets on you for the first time in its sucking life then it won't really poison you because its poison isn't potent and the same for its second time. But on third suck its poison is up to scratch as the whole time the tick is increasing its potency. And that's what Caleb got.

Paralysis tick's true to their name paralyse you, but the real danger in it all is they paralyse everything! Your organs, and heart. You basically freeze (so to speak) while you're brain is still ticking.

None of us had seen Caleb Wednesday morning, that's not unusual as he's off and away outside somewhere all the time. But Mumsie went to take Lisel and baby Jono home (Lisel had been sick and spent the night at our house) when she found Caleb lying behind the wheels of the car. In such a position that we would have run him over, how he got there we don't know, because liquid was coming out of his mouth and he was panting and he could not move.

We rushed him to the vet, of course we all said our prays. Somehow all of us didn't really panic we were sad and worried a little but we all somehow knew he just pull through. Caleb is Caleb. To anyone who knows Caleb he is a very different cat, very quiet and very patient. He looks at you like he understand english though. Just stares...

So we all thought he'd be fine. We ran the vet the next day and they said he was still very sick and they'd need to keep him in. He was on oxygen and all! Then on Friday Jess went to visit him and the vet said he really didn't think Caleb would survive he had not picked up at all since we brought him in and he said if cats are gonna survive they should already be showing signs of perking up. He asked Jess's permission that if Caleb had not picked up on Saturday morning could he put him down. Caleb didn't really budge as Jess stroked him. He had been shaved so he looks more like my cat no longer like a rag doll cat. (The tick was in his arm pit)
Poor Jess...I felt sick in my position, I couldn't comfort, I wished that I could take the burden from Jess and bear it so that I could hold the weight and not her...
I was also hit with a 'Wow...we can't do anything. If Caleb survived it would be because of God. The vets couldn't do anything.'

Dad said we should all pray harder, and not to put him down. Because if he had a chance of survival we'd be killing him (I totally agreed) so Jess ran the vet and said not to, to ring her in the morning (Jess was gonna go to Brisbane and so he'd have to ring her mobile)

So we all prayed, it was hard to grip the situation. Most people would say 'It's just a cat!' but our animals are all precious to us and I am always thanking God for them. To me pets, like a cat and dog, are a piece of heaven, a piece of God's comfort to me.

Jess's mobile ran out of battery (can you believe it she forgot her charger!) so we had to ring the vet. I was listening to the phone call and my goodness but heart slowed right down so I could listen! Mum was like 'How is he?' and ooh...it seriously was suspense...then she said 'oh that's good!'
He had perked up, he wasn't out of danger but the vet wanted to keep him in over the weekend. So he did then said he was improving still but he wanted to keep him in one more night.
So on Tuesday afternoon Jess and Mum hurried over to the vet (which is five minutes away from us) to pick Caleb up and bring him home at last!
The vet told him he really didn't expect Caleb to live. He said they rarely recover from such severe poisoning.

Wesa knew! It really was only because we had prayed. If we weren't Christian's and didn't know the power of pray Caleb would had died.
It's amazing to look at Caleb and think he was alive because of God's grace and mercy :)

Timmie missed Caleb but when he got back he hissed at him because he stinks of vet! And he looks hilarious, sooo different. Most of his tail has been shaved except the end, so he has this puffy end. He has a big head...but he's gorgeous!

We all learnt a lesson in prayer. Although we have assurances that all will be well, you cannot stop praying constantly. God wants us to :)

I better go, thought I'd share that miracle.

Love me xoxox

Exactly 1 month

As the title reads it is exactly one month until I begin rehearsing for the WOZ...I am nervous and excited :) I can't wait until I have gone through a rehearsal so I know how it works...I am nervous about not knowing which way the ball rolls. I like to be prepared.

But I can get somewhat prepared with the script and music (only I can't sight sing!) but the script is gonna need plenty of work! I received it on Sunday, there is 143 pgs to the script and of course I'm in near enough every scene. So learn, learn, learn! Ooh! How exciting?!

I loved sitting there on Sunday watching them explain how it would work, they showed us the stage design and drawing of what our costumes would look like. Also told us about the business side of it all, how they would need us to ensure that ticket sales went through the roof!

I was sitting in between the people who own the dog that is to be Toto, in real life his name is Frodo and he is sooo sweet! I am praying he will like me and that we'll get along because we have to be together a lot during the next three months. It wouldn't be good if he just didn't like me.
But he let me hold him, he is really docile but cute and does his little tricks. So sweet! The people who own him are really nice too, I was grateful they let me sit with them as I didn't know anyone!

I still haven't met the Scarecrow yet, but I saw the Tinman and Lion. I am glad they chose who they did for those two I (in my own little mind) had picked them as the best as well.

Well I am hoping to upload photo's of a lunch I hosted for Courtney and Eebee, I had a wonderful time!! It was magical the way Mumsie and I set it up and I was sooo excited to see their faces, I love going all out for someone, so they can have a break and know that I love and appreciate them! I had fun and we had really good convo's! Thank you Courtney and Eebee!! :)

Well till then :)
