SO busy and LOVINGGG Osaka!





well it has been along time since i have done a blog so i wanted to make sure i took the time out to fill everyone in.

It was funny. i was listening to my ipod on the way home from rehearsal today . The playlist i was listening to was from around 6 months ago, when i was traveling back and forth from sarnia to toronto for Highschool musical shows and rehearsals with my band for the tim mcgraw concert. Never in a million years would i have thought at that point that i would be listening to the same playlist is osaka, japan only a few months later.

it was like having an old friend with me and made me a little less homesick.

anywayssssssss rehearsals are going so great! the choreo is all done and now i can just spend time getting it in my head!

I'm not a trained dancer so this has been kinda tough for me but its a really great feeling when you actually get it down!

Other than that i just cant wait for the show to open and to start doing this show for an audience! WOO!

ok well thats about it for now. here are some new pics! More to come later!

I've arrived in japan and i can finally breathh





wow! what a whirlwind this has been. From the second i arrived in japan i havent stopped doing something.

The flight was excruciatingly long with lots of connections flights and i had bruises from my luggage on my shoulders!

But the second i stepped off the plane in osaka and smelt the japanese air, a rush of old memories all poured over me, and as sad as i was to leave home i was finally sooooo excited to be here!

so these past two days have been full of orientations, costume fittings and photo shoots beause this is a bran new show and we are going to be the original cast so there are no photos in the brochures or for advertising yet!

everyone at the apartment building are performers from around the world that work for the same company i am working for right now and they are all so nice. everyone is welcoming and i feel at home already!!

I LOVEEEEEEE japan soooo much! Everything is just so sparkly and adorable and japanese people are so respectful and polite!!

ayways, this is my first night with nothing to do so i am going to go get some rest. check my blog as much as possible for more fun posts!

Things i will miss



I'll miss the smell of my favourite "Presidents Choice- Great Canadian" coffee brewing in the morning

I'll miss watching Ellen and Road to Avonlea everymorning with my mommy while we do our makeup in the living room.

I'll miss watching hours of CSI with Timothy

I'll miss watching cartoons and Disney movies with my little sister.

I'll miss going for long walks with my Daddy talking about the most random and yet philosophical things in the world.

I'll miss Myriah making fun of me

I'll miss TIM HORTON's COFFEE, and the really awkward man-boy that serves me my large double milk one sweetner with a straw coffee, that my dad was mean to because he made him yucky coffee but then apologized to the next day.

I'll miss watching my kitty chase my bunny around and pinning her down . and then yelling at my kitty and comforting my poor bunny.

I'll miss highway 401 and 402. more specifically driving down it with a yummy coffee knowing it will lead to somewhere really fun with someone i love.

I'll miss getting ready and rushing out the door at the last minute to get to church every Sunday. And then getting there late, and having to walk to the 3rd pew from the front because my mother insists on sitting there, and then everyone watches us walk in late, as well as hear us because the Roebuck girls always wear loud jewlery.

I'll miss playing the guitar with my Grampy, and listening to him sing.

I'll miss fake fainting and making Timothy catch me when he least expects it. WHAT IF NOONE CATCHES ME IN JAPAN????

I'll miss the coforting glow of chemical valley in the distance, hehe

I'll miss all sorts of things, but these are the things that i am really thinking of right now.

From this point exactly it is just over 7,000 miles to japan! I have a little under two weeks to get there so i better start walking!

I cant believe how beautiful Canada is. I have lived here my whole life but have never had the chance to experience the breathtaking beauty of our scenery and wildlife. Where i am from , the land is very flat, and aside from the lakes, there isnt much to see. But alberta is absolutely stunning. The mountains are overwhelming, its almost hard to believe they are actually real. I am so proud to be Canadian and I am so glad i had the opportunity to experience this before I leave to japan for a year!

teeth are such lovely things to have .. dont take yours for granted

well here is a fun fact. my first day in calgary (to visit my daddy before i leave to japan) i broke my tooth!!! so i had to wait almost 5 days before i could see a new dentist here on the other side of the country. soooo i have been couped up in this little apartment dying of boredom because i refuse to go in public like this. some may say this is vain, but other may say it is quite neccesary in order to keep the city of calgary from going into a mass panic at the site of my toothlessness.

anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i am going to the dentist in 2 hours and i will be right back to spanking new!!

yesterday i went in public with my dad and i wore a scarf just like this in order to fit in.



wellll at least this didnt happen while i was in japan! that would have been awful. so there is the silver lining i guess....
