Loc's 24th and Vanders Semi-finals

Last week was Loc's birthday, and because Anya was going to surprise him with a secret surprise party, we had to ignore or cancel on the event that Loc had planned for himself. but we did end up going to see him on the actual day of his birthday to celebrate and keep him company since Anya was off with uni placement.
We ate at Twelve spices with his friends
Nattie made cupcakes, im not referring to myself in third person, theres another chick there named Nat! :)
Looks like its Natties birthday instead lol
Loc with invisible Anya
i ended up Photoshopping her into the picture afterwards :)

I didnt know what to get him, because we made him something for his surprise party.. so i ended up drawing a little picture of us as cartoons.
It was such a great night

 Loc's Surprise party!
We went to Hurricanes. It was my second time there, but first time eating a main meal instead of just dessert. 
the food was quite decent, but its just average to me i guess.

During the dinner however i had ruined the surprise that Anya was going to take Loc to karaoke.. which i feel sooo awful about because they always try to surprise each other and always tell me that every year someone seems to mess it up.. and it was me this year!!! O_O! BAH! i did good all week too!!! :(
They said it was okay.. but i know they were thinking of stabbing me in the eyes with the steak knives.. loljks.
there was more cake!! with relighting candles that would never go off and caused the room to be covered in smoke! luckily the smoke alarms didn't go off.
it was funny tho =D
And my presents to Loc

He is such an amazing, selfless person and I'm so glad to have him in my life :)
His absolutely too sweet for his own good.

Vander News!!!

On monday after having a little shopping spree with Lana (and returning some clothes that didn't fit me.. Gosh thats so depressing..), I traveled to Campbelltown with William to watch his band preform.
They were in another battle of the bands that could score them a live gig at a west tigers match if they won the finals.
it was really nice carpooling with William, we had so much to talk about like the good old days in art. but as far as Campbelltown was, i don't think it gave us enough time to catch up.

Anyways, i was running late.. (i honestly dont know how i always manage that) and we ended up getting there at 6.30pm when we were suppose to  be there at 6 to set up.
But when we arrived we were told that the other bands were late too..
and the gig ended up starting at 8pm, which means they were REALLY late.. lol
The good thing about that night was i was able to see the difference between what types of bands everyone including 'Vander' was. And i dont want to brag or anything, but 'Vander' was the best band there.. (although, there were only 3 bands playing)
but i noticed all the little things that william and the band members did that the other bands didnt like sound checks, coordination, and mainly.. original songs...
Where as the other bands all had technical errors, didn't do sound checks.. which i sound important because you can noticed when one instrument would suddenly sound louder.. and it throws everything off.
what i didn't like about one of the bands was that 6 our of 7 songs they played were covers.. it sorta sucked because that band won second place..
 But guess who won first place!!!!
 Vander!! :)
i swear, i almost had a heart attack.. i feel as if I'm sorta in the band as well because I've become involved in what they do now.
But it was so great that they won.. i really hope they win the finals because having that gig would mean so much!!! it'd be such an amazing experience..
