Top 5 trilogies

1.Star wars

The original star wars trilogy will always have number one place in my heart

2.Lord of the rings

The fact that I’ve been to New Zealand and visited hobbiton makes this trilogy just that little it more special

3.Back to the future

These movies remind of when i was younger and are very nostalgic for me

4.Spiderman

The Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst spiderman will always be my favourite

5.Toy story


Who didn’t love these movies?

Book to movie #1- Gone girl


I decided to start doing a series where i share my opinion on various book to movie adaptations, I'm not sure how frequently i will do these but we will see how we go!
I thought id start with the book to movie adaptation of Gone girl.

i read gone girl a few months ago before i even knew it was being made into a movie and i absolutely loved it! I loved the twist in it and how through the whole book you where never completely sure you knew who did what.

I was then of course so excited to see it made into a movie. I had high hope and they were definitely well met. I think the movie kept very close to the book and had the suspense of the book. The twist was done so well and even though i knew what was coming i still enjoyed watching it.

I find a lot of book to movie adaptations disappointing but this did not disappoint at all.

2015 Goals



-Blog more
     I really would like to keep up with a schedule of 2 days a week. 

-Read 50 books
     In 2014 i read half the books i read in 2013. 2014 was a busy year for me so I’m not super disappointed but i would like to read a little more next year.

-Travel
     We’re already booked to go to Sydney in May, I’m hoping we can also get back to Darwin at some point next year too. An overseas trip may be on the cards too!

-Complete my diploma
     I’m almost halfway through me web design course so i will be completing that in 2015. Im still undecided if i will move on to another course after, I've been considering a diploma in business, we will see.

-Cook more
     Im not a huge fan of cooking, i will cook as simply as i can. In 2015 i want t cook more and try new recipes. I want to learn to enjoy it.

-Live a positive lifestyle
Im actively trying to be more positive in my everyday life, and i want to continue this in 2015.

Tell me your goals. What do you want out of 2015?

Life Changes


So i recently found out that i may potentially have celiac disease.
Celiac disease for those who don't know is an intolerance or allergy to gluten.

Being a person who loves bread and pasta and basically everything that contains gluten this came as quite an unwanted shock to me.
Whilst I'm still going through the testing stages of diagnosing it, my doctor is pretty confident that it will be confirmed.

So in comes basically a lifestyle overhaul.
I was previously quite an unhealthy eater and anyone who has been gluten free will know that being gluten free means you need to be a lot healthier and a lot more conscious of what you put in your body.
Never before have i had to check every product before i eat it to ensure its ok for me to consume.

I have had to give up a lot of the things i love but i am also trying to stay positive and find new things that i enjoy.

Change is always hard for me so finding ways to make the adjustment easier is always a plus.

So that's whats happening with me at the moment.
Have you had to make a big lifestyle adjustment? Let me know id love to hear your stories.

Currently watching #4

Alright so I've been having some attention span issues when it comes to tv lately. I find I'm getting bored or distracted so easy, and i can't find something that is really hooking me.

These two shows are the only ones I've been consistently watching lately:

Project Runway


I'm just going back and watching old seasons because i actually never watched it before. Basically for those who don't know this show is pretty much just a bunch of clothing designers competing to be the best. I'm currently on season 12, and i really enjoy it. Any kind of reality tv is right up my alley but add in fashion and I'm in love!

House


I'm a big medical show fan, one of my all time favourite shows is Greys Anatomy. This show follows doctor House as he goes about his job of being a doctor basically. I absolutely adore House as character, he is so sarcastic and puts across that he doesn't care but deep down he's a good guy.
It has all the drama you love in a medical show too.


What are your favourite shows?
Stay fresh!

Currently Playing- Fantasy Life




Fantasy Life is a RPG (Role playing game) for the 3DS and regular DS that i am completely addicted to at the moment.
You get to choose from 1 of 12 life classes (soldier, sorcerer, hunter, mercenary, lumberjack, prospector, fisherman, carpenter, tailor, blacksmith, cook and alchemist) and then complete a series of quests whilst exploring the world and gaining levels.
Depending on the life you choose you can live out the life any way you want to, whether that be a leisurely life of cooking or an adventure to save the world.

Im not usually a big DS player but this game is super addictive!

Whats been happening?

Whats been happening since my last post?
Well..

Ive been studying hard, and making progress in my diploma of web design, I'm close to being halfway through!

I also finally upgraded to my computer to a Macbook Pro, which means i can finally have a reliable computer not only for studying but blogging too.


I just yesterday got back from a three day trip to Queensland. We stayed on the Gold Coast and it was divine. Spent a full day exploring dreamworld, ate at the Hard Rock Cafe and did a bit too much shopping.

A month before that we went on a five day trip to Darwin to stay with friends. It was unbelievably hot up there but it was absolutely beautiful and i enjoyed every second of it!



Aside from the the travel and study, I've just really been enjoying life.
Ive learnt to let go of a lot of things that used to bother me, and i surround myself with positive people.
Life is good so why not enjoy it!
