2010

Twenty Ten: the year of hope, optimism and opportunity, a year of fresh starts and new beginnings a year of reflection and purpose, a year of going out and taking whats yours. everyone has high hopes for this year it is a beginning of a new decade we say good bye to the noughties or the naughties as it has so commonly been referred to. with all this promise a new year brings this one seems to bring with it greater hope and possibilities, even more so than the millenmium did. maybe it is because there wasn't any danger of the world ending this time around or maybe it was because when 2000 was brought in i was 11 and oblivious to it all. it could be because the internet has come into it's own and created communities such as facebook, myspace and twitter making it easier for us to express our every thought to a wider spectrum of people than it was ever possible before! in all honesty it is more than likely all of these things together that made bringing the new year in especially unique this time. it is already fulfilling it's promise for me this year it is only the fourteenth day of the year and what a journey i have already been on. News Year Day i packed up as much as my belongings as i could and headed on a road trip to sydney where i was moving it was so sad saying goodbye not only to my friends and family but to the familiar, the place where i had lived the majority of my life, to the people i knew the job i knew the places i knew to the unfamiliar. it was unknown unconquered land, for me anyway and it was scary and huge but exhilarating at the same time. uncharacteristic of a part of me but the adventurous side had been wanting for a release for a while now. i have never felt more out of control of my life and more in control at the same time! i was finally taking my life into my own hands and going for what i have always wanted. ready for anything to fall to fly and everything in between. it is still a mystery to me how it is all going to turn out but i m finally ok with not having everything mapped out to military precision well mostly ok anyway. it generally never really went to plan anyhow. the whole not really having a plan thing is working for me. I applied to Universities down in Sydney and Canberra moving before i got accepted not really knowing what i would do if i didn't all i knew was that is where i wanted to be and studied and i was going to make it happen and it did i got excepted into the university of Canberra one of my first choices. now low on money and having to move again and not really knowing how i m going to afford everything and where i am going to live just knowing that i am going to make it happen is enough for me. it has to do with what i have learnt in the last 14 days of the new year and that is i can achieve the things i really desire. it really helps to take steps towards to put yourself on the line obvious as it as it sounds. let the universe know what you want and how badly you want it there is no point in hiding it away like i have done for so long. my journey is gaining momentum. twenty ten is already proving to be more spectacular then 2009 here's to more unplanned adventures

I Won Against Serge.

this is a short post to let everyone know that i won against serge today when we did a sparring excerise, i've done it twice now. it is very satisfying especially since he has to do pushups. when i do my cardio workout we do boxing not just cardio boxing but proper technique and combinations hopefully i ll be able to actually get in the boxing ring when i m faster and not so scared of being hit. but for now i am happy winning against serge.

The Beginning.

So here begins the first step. creating my own blog so i can start becoming more confident in my own writing. To begin with i will apologise for my grammar it is something that i will be working on though out my blogging. This blog is for me not only to gain confidence in my writing and more importantly people reading what i write,  but it will also be a way to organize my thoughts and feelings on this journey i am taking to be the person i once was and the person i was meant to be. For those of you who know me you will know that i want to be a journalist. to be the person to give a voice to those that don't have one and to tell stories that might not otherwise been heard. i want to be a journalist of integrity compassion and courage. To see the world and the many different cultures, to meet people of different races, opinions and experiences from my own, to open mind and my heart to the people i will meet in my travels. i will be posting written pieces (next step being published scary) random thoughts and inspirations. it  a way for me to stay motivated on my journey of a thousand miles. so heres to my first step and the many more that i will be taking in the next few months and years.
