Where there is a will there is a way!

Kia ora,

Just when i thought there was no way and thought i would lose 150 $ bucks on the ticket to the big day out that i would not be able to attend, my new friend Kay, gave me an idea of how could i do it, that idea was nothing but a struck of brilliance, a bright flashy light that lit an entire huge dark room.

About 2 months ago i bought tickets to the BIG DAY OUT, a well known music festival that happens every summer in Auckland. Immerse on too much work between the 2 jobs i had on the month of December, i completely overlooked on finding me a flight to Auckland, and as it could not be different the prices raise up exponentially over the first weeks of January, and now it would cost nothing less than 600 $ to fly there and back, man that's way too much, and therefore i decided to settle for not going.



On the last weekend i was at Akaroa sitting on a porch, outside the Duvacheulle store and cafe, appreciating the amazing sight of the sun setting in between the mountains that once where the crater of a volcano reflecting the orange and reddish color on the waters of the bay, when Kay gave me the idea of "grabbing one of those relocation deals". Basically it consists of driving a rental car for free to it's original place, which in my case is gonna be drive from here Christchurch, over half of the country all the way to Auckland. That's a perfect Rock'n roll trip as I've always wanted to do, next Thursday i'll be getting on a car to drive for over 600 km, ride with the car on a ferry, see amazing landscapes on this country enjoying a great soundtrack which i'm already working on as i write this!!!

This morning i called my boss and sorted the days off i'll need, the car deal, the flight tickets back to here and got my license translated, so from today i start the countdown to one of the best road trips of my life!

Where there is a will there is a way, believe in that sentence folks cuz it pays off really well!

PS: the photo up top is actually four different pics that i "photoshopped" to piece them together, if u look closely u'll see that some clouds are not real, i made some up to cover differences between pics!

cheers to all!

A great weekend has passed went through a day tour to the south on a very small "beach"city, while there got on a "Cruise" on a extinct volcanic crater, it was an immense thing, when the Captain said on the speaker "the MOUNTAINS around us used to be the mouth of the volcano", I couldn't believe my eyes, they say this volcano has been extinct for millions of years, therefore i can't help but wonder around imagining the dinosaurs around it and how big everything was back then, isn't it awesome to think that the nature and all forms of life have been able to adapt themselves around each other since the beginning of times, and how much destruction the "giant" insects of those times would cause nowadays! I would love to be able to travel in time, and for that i let my mind wonder around whenever i can...

Lately i have been getting back in touch with my artistic side, just finished last night a drawing i did of myself, and for that i'll start now posting drawings as well, this one i entitled: Me drawing myself!

cheerio!
