well, it has been awhile since i have written anything..... it's all because I have been really busy for the last week. I have actually just found out where I will be going for my contract. I will be leaving the UK on thursday and flying to miami to join my ship. I will be going on Royal Caribbean this time for my spa job. I am actually pretty excied about it cuz I will be going to many different places this time for 8 months. I will first go through the panama canel and to dominican republic, san juan, St martaan, St thomas, St. lucia, hatiti, and many places in the Caribbean. then in late april I will be heading over to the Med for the entire summer until the end of contract. so I guess I will be seeing Europe for the first time..... the only thing that i am apprehensive about is my honey.. cuz we odnt' relaly know when he will be joing me on the ship. There are actually couple of positions open on the ship in april and may so the chances are really good. but we wil have to find out for sure before I leave on thursday. But don't get too excited about anything yet, cuz everything could change just like that with this company, so nothing is for certain until you are on the plane, and even then you never know cuz they might very well tranship you so some strange reason.....

anyways, will update more soon...

Well, I have finally finished my second week in London training for my up coming job on the ship.  I seriousely have been put on a emotional roller coaster for the past week.  There were so much pressuer this week alone due to the fact that all the BIG bosses from head office were here.  All the trainers were stressed and freaked out and as for all us students everything HAD to be perfect.  I never thought that I would be going on the ship so soon.  Not to mention that I had to learn whole bunch of things ( theory and concepts) and I also had to learn teeth whitening....... ( yes I got my teeth whitened as well, so now I have a million dollar smile) so overall it was just crazy crazy week...... I am actually being kicked off the internet now.... will right later when I go home tonite..... cheers...

well I am starting another week at this blah training school thing for the spa job on the ship and once again I am doing nothing all day long....... today I got this treatment done ( iontherime) where it is suppose to left your butt, reduce inces and reduce cellulite, flatten your tummy etc... anyways I had the treatment today where they put these plusing things on my tummy and under my butt for 30 min. and well over all I lost 2 inches all over ( water only)... I relaly didn't like that treatment...it was actually kinda painful....... and for the ppl that would spend that kind of money on things like that to lost weight ...... man they relaly should get their head examined......I relaly do believe that you should eat healthy and do excerise like the old fashion way to get hte body you want......

I also got a scalp massage and a hair up from my friend... which was really cool..... we took a long time so  we didn't really have to do any clean up for today....... ( yes we have to clean everyday and on fridays we all have to scrub the place spotless....) and yeah another thing.... today all the head office ppl from the states are now here... so all the trainers and students and bosses are all on their toes....... and I swear some of the ladies MUST have had some things done to their faces and bodies to look like that at their age...... I hate to say it..... they all pretty much look like plastic barbie dolls..... almost too perfect to be true......... but I guess you know being in thise BEAUTY industry you HAVE to look like that in order to sell your products and mostly you are selling your image..... I think they have successfully transformed me into the way they want me to be..... if any of you guys saw me now.. you would not be abel to reconize me for sure....... I for sure look WAY too fancy to be me...... ha ha...

anywyas I gotta go to the super market now... maybe I will get a Krispy creams for FREE>>> kee kee

PS_ time to e-mail me ppl

Cheers

Finally, I can use the internet..... well, I have been in london for about 5 days now.. and have started my training with steiner ( the spa thing that I am doing) I am staying at this really dodgy YMCA in North London where it would cost me about £20 to get to central london...  We have to go to school every single day...... We all have to do be there at 8:45 and classes all start at 9:00 until 4:30 and then we have to clean for like an hour........ for the first few days we have just been doing the paper work and trying to get everyone organized.  We had to do this public speaking thing infornt of all the trainers and staff and the head manager Robert, who ultimatly has the say in what ship you go to.... lots ppl were really nervse b/c we had to use this mic and had to do this intro thing to introduce our partners that we have just met 5 mins. ago.... I thought I did pretty well, cuz well, I do have to thank SUF for this for all the presentations that I have had to do in my classes it really did help.... this sure was MUCH MUCH easier then having to talk about some extra hard study and tryingto teach it to the rest of the class.....

Since I will be working for this spa company as a receptionist, I have to look the part which in simpy word.... lots of make up ( including eye liner, top and bottom, eye shadow, and blush/bronzer and lip stick and liner at all times) and also my hair need to be up in a very nice formal up-do... so since we all have to take the bus in the moring to school and it takes about 30 min to get there I have been getting up everyday at 6:15 in the moring to do make up and hair....... I told my honey that in the last 4 days I think I have spent like 5 hours just looking in the mirror looking at my self fixing my self..... and for all of you guys who knows me... I am totally NOT like that...... if you were to see me now you would be in for a real shock.....I totally look like a drag queen...... but they love it there... all the trainers have told me that I TOTALLY look the part of a steiner receptionist........ ha ha...... I will have to send some pictures home when I get taken......

oh also I have to wear these nasty white uniforms..... with wihte flat shoes...... you know the ones that look very ~asian~ with 3/4 legth pants.... well... that's what I look like...... very funny..... I still have school on sat. as well... so look lik eI won't be able to get back to Taunton until maybe sat. or even next weekend if I am still here....... but My honey will be coming up to see me any how...... I relaly wnat to go home and watch some TV and eat some decent food... I really really need my veggie intake.... the food they have been feeding us is just beyond disgusting... I just can't stand it..... I don't even know where to begin....... ( over cooked and mushy) and not to mention the bathroom 5 ppl have to share one.. ( with 2 guys) and man... it's just disgusting....... thank god I brought my shower slippers with me.... or else I don't think I would survive........

There is one good thing about going through all this... I get to receive a treatment once a day.... and well, today I had  a hot stones massage.... which was pretty good and I hope tommorow I will get thehydralife facail.... that would be awsome......

anyways I think the internet place is about to close I will write more soon..... cheers!!!

well, less then a week to go until I start my boot camp in North london... I am really looking forward to it but at the same time I am relaly NOT happy with the uncertanty of my future.... I really don't like the idea of having to put my life in other ppl's hands... and let them decide where I should go...... I also don't like the idea that I will not be able to come home at night aftedr a hard day's work to spend time with my honey ( well for at least awhile and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will not be long) plus I am indeed a Princess girl...... and really don't fancy going to other cruise liners....... I just don't understand sometimes.... how princess can I get... I ALREADY work for them before... and still work for them..... so if I am not a Princess girl then who is?

I am starting to miss the gang back in Vancouver..... I really don't feel that independent here at the moment... cuz well, first of all, I cnát drive.. cuz I have no idea how to drive stice and plus they all drive on the wrong side of the road and there stupid roundabouts...... man they just do my head in...... so I am pretty much depended on my honey.... we alwyas go everywhere together.... ( that is when there is some where to go) I swear I have been here for about 5 weeks now... and well, let me tell you.. it's relaly a TOWN not a city..... just think of it this way.... it's like being cooped up in WVan ( with farms surrounding you) and there is only couple of streets of shops and if you wnat to go to the closes mall it would take you about 45 min on the motorway... so in a sense it's shittier then Wvan.  but you know what..... I am really likeing the whole domestic thing.... where we kinda just do our own things and go out when we want to.....

I do have to say the Tele here is really good...... you can alwyas find things to watch.. and they alwyas have relaly good movies on esp. on the weekends...... and the best thing about it is that there are no commercials..... which is great so you dont'have to watit to see what happends..... I have alwyas hated being interuppted when I am watching a movie......

I have come to the conclusion that I really like it here... and I could really live here after doing this whole ship thing....... the only downside would be not having my own friends around to hang around with....... I do miss you guys all...... but look at the bright side... you guys will have NO excuses not to visit good old england when I am here........ right..... btw it's relaly cheap to fly to placce such as france.. you could get there for like under 30 pounds ( round trip) pretty cool eh....

anyways.. I will write later...
