Feeling So Happy

I am so happy, It's Friday and I managed to get through the day without any pain and I am feeling good. I am totally better from the stomach flue and headache yesterday. Now I am hoping to continue to feel awesome for this amazing Valentines weekend. We are kicking things off tonight with some yummy Quesidilla and Caesar salad and we will catch up on the first episode of Survivor and Grey's Anatomy. Tomorrow we plan on spending some time in the states and Sunday spending the evening having some yummy Guacamole and Nachos with mom and dad...just kicking back and having some fun and since Monday is a holiday, Kyle and I will do our Rachel Ray V-Day meal that day and hang out together.

Tuesday should be a lot of fun too because some of the girls from school are going out for dinner and a movie as a reward after working all day. So I am looking forward to that.

Today at school was really interesting, we pitched our commercials to the producers and directors then spent an hour or so watching different directors, producers and editors reels of film that they compiled to music and drama to showcase their skills. All of the reels were mind blowing, they all used really cool special effects, music and crazy cool techniques. Everyone duked it out for the production team they thought would do the best for their commercial. It is going to be so much fun for us, for the production team its a lot of work, next week they have to be finished a 60 page document with all of the commercialdetails which we will be providing to them.

To break it down for our commercial for the Oakville Jazz festival, the main problem is that it is conceived as being boring, dated and old. So this is what we plan on doing on our commercial:

The scene is a theater and the curtain raises to revel a old man sitting in front of a dusty piano, there are no people in the audience and the piano is filled with spider webs and the mans clothes look really old and dated. He starts to play a little, very slow and dated.. now some people in the stage crew come and dust away the spider webs, dust the man and the piano and make it look shiny(now we have different opinions on this next part) some in the group think we will show still shots of the festival, how exciting it is and the music in the background will get jazzier and that will end with a black screen the tag line "It's more than you think." but some think stills are a bit boring and it would be better to fastforward the man at the piano and get the crew to update everything, and it will look like it's moving fast but will then stop at the man wearing a shiny suit, the piano being polished, him playing jazzy music and the audience full of people and then just the black screen with tag line.

Anyway, those are some ideas we are moving around, we will see what actually happens. I have a lot going on next week..I hope I am feeling up for everything. I still need to get going on setting up a work placement, I have to figure that out and work on my portfolio and also a website that companies can go to and see my portfolio and contact info online. I need to get a lot done and I have no energy to do it at the moment so something has to change!

Well I am going to get started on prepping for dinner.

I will talk more about the weekend later.

I hope everyone has an amazing Valentines Day.

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
