Old Entries Done

2009-12-21T10:32:00.000+10:00

Well I have posted all the older entries I can think of. There will be alot I wont be able to post because my site crashed and I lost them all. Which is really disappointing :( One of my first entries was about Alisha and I talking about life as Twin Sisters. I'll never to able to write it as good as I did then, or be able to get that entry back. Sad Really. I've been up since 5:30am studying so im taking a break now.. and updating here. I wanted to share with you a video I made for Alisha of us growing up. It's posted in the next entry. :)

11 December 2009 :: All Holidays come to an end

2009-12-21T10:27:00.000+10:00

Well its time to leave and we are heading home on the boat back to Brisbane. Its been so much - dont want to leave but I have all the home videos and photos to look back on now. So special.. I am so glad a bought my Video Camera Camcorder when I did, it wasnt cheap but so worth it!! I am going to make a DVD up of all the memories including all the shots and video I took of everyone. I also love collecting shells, weird right? I think its really special and unique I found some from all the different beaches that we went to. I'm going to be creative and make some nice photo frames with the shells and then stick a photo or two of our holiday in them. :) I will have to show you when I'm done. Anyway, other than that I dont have much to talk about.. I will need to get more xmas cards done when I get home, still a few more to do and send away the gifrs we got for our friends that we bought at a gift store on holidays. anyway Im going to leave you with a couple nice photos of our hoilday. I will write later tonight.

Dont you just hate it when you write a full entry or email reply and the internet messes up and you lose it all? Thats what just happened to me. :(. Anyway, What I did write was that I know I said Id update but I'm tried and cant really be bothered. Not that anyone really cares, I mean serious whats the chances of anyone reading this anyway? And if they do who would find it interesting? 1 in a million perhaps? maybe not even that! I will update tomorrow about our holiday and update the songs page with my song lyrics ive been meaning to do. I just need to find my song lyrics book.. its here somewhere in the mess i call my room.. Anyway its off for now.. But I have to say we stopped before heading back home today and picked up the BEST pies and the local bakery.. So good. Gotta love food, expecially GOOD food! I need to go on a diet, I eat too much.. one food lover I am :)

08 December 2009:: Family Holiday

2009-12-21T10:18:00.000+10:00

We're on HOLIDAYS!! My family and I are on a week holiday, we have gone to the beach. Its a yearly tradition for all of us to get together. We have our older sis and her husband who live away from us, so its nice to get to gether with them and our older brother and his fiance. We usually go away the week of our Dad's Birthday! Its a good time. Usually Id be finished study for the year but I have taken on A Summer School Semester to get into my Bachelor of Education. So im still studying until Early March next year - then I'll get a break.Kinda sucks that I have uni now, its online though so it is pretty flexable but I have intense deadlines. I'm still trying to get used to all the lectures, the weekly tasks, assignments, discussions and all, but enough about that! Our holiday has been awesome so far. I bouught my video camera so as always ive been behind it catching all the action. We have an amazing view of the ocean from our beach house (unit). Alisha (my twin) got up at 4am yesterday to take photos of the sunrise.. :) She loves photography.. as long as she isnt in it lol :P. She took some awesome shots.
Thought I'd share some:
Alisha's Sunrise Photos

We also went 4wd driving and captured some awesome views. Alisha also took an amazing photo of some seagulls on the beach. I love this one.

30 November 2009:: The Sky's the Limit

2009-12-21T10:12:00.001+10:00

Qoute for the day "if you believe in it enough, you can succeed. Don't listen those who bring you down; the sky is the limit! " Yes I know its been so long since I updated. But alot has happened and I just havent had the chance to update. I finished my certificate in education support, even though I havent officially recieved my results on paper. I have upcoming surgery because of the pain in my feet. So i have long-term treatment and a possible sugery so I will be out recovering for at least 2 months for the treatment. I then have starting my first university course straight after.. literally. I started an SSK12 introduction to uni learning course distantly online so I can hopefully enter into a Bachelor of Primary Education majoring in Music and Speical Eduation. BIG Step!! But I hope it all pans out, right now im overwhelmed with the assesments and exams I have in the next 3 months of this course, but Ill guess ill take it one day at a time. I promise Ill make sure Ill updated tomorrow as I have so much more to write and I know some of you TS'ser read here.

15 December 2009 :: What a terrible Twin Sister?

2009-12-21T10:05:00.000+10:00

It's been so busy this week that I havent had the chance to update, i mean not that theres anything real interesting happening in my life. I didnt have such a good day today. It started out okay but I just lost it with my twin :( bad i know and I feel terrible but she just wouldnt stop judging me. Yes I study my university course from home online but I still have deadlines. I just had enough, I wish I could be finished for this year but Im not, my course goes through the Christmas and new year holiday time and finishes in March, so its full on ahead. I lost it today and got quite angry, its annoying when people think you dont do much when really you're flat out trying to fit everything in. Uni is a completely different ball game to other studies. Anyway, im definately not the only one. I just feel terrible about what happened today. Im a terrible twin sister...

Totally of topic but I finally took the chance to take a break and finish my Christmas card for this year, its not a tradition here in Australia to design and print your own photo cards but TS really gets me into the spirit of it every year. Here it is:

16 December 2009:: Christmas Time & A Whole Lot of Laughs

2009-12-21T09:58:00.000+10:00

Here's the "Christmas Tree Incident Blog" That I originally posted on my other blog. But I decided to post it up here. I will be posting other blog entries from there as well, as I didnt expect my other blog to crash on me.

Today was a very productive day.. well if you call “breaking the Christmas Tree productive”. Well not technically Alisha just made it sound bad when really it wasn’t. We finally got to putting up our tree. Since we’d been away on holidays we only had the chance to do it today. The tree we have was like $20 when we bought it and we have had it for a few years, anyway, I was straightening out the artificial branches to make it look like a tree.. and one “Small” branch broke off. It wasn’t even noticeable. So what does Alisha do? Humiliate me in front of all our friends.. she posts up that I “broke the tree” way to go alisha! Make me look like a total idiot.. lol. But just to prove to you heres a pic I took of it once it was done.

The pile of presents under the tree is now growing. Alisha, Mum and I went Christmas present shopping today as well. We all ending up shopping for presents in the same store which made it hard when alisha and I were buying Mum and Dad’s present and Mum was buying ours from her and Dad.. LOL.. and just when I thought they were done after taking a present to the car, I go back in and Alisha tells me bluntly to go back to car. She bought mine there, I didn’t see what she was looking at but its now wrapped and under the tree.. its HUGE.. It has to stand upright.. tall under the tree otherwise it wont fit. It makes the present I bought Alisha look like a poor effort, but apparently we spent about the same amount of money on eachother. Im happy about that cause I don’t want her to spend too much on me.. I’ll just have to wait and see what she got me.. its exciting.

We have our family Christmas Party on Boxing Day this year so we will give and get many more presents then. I think Alisha and I are just about done on buying, wrapping and making Christmas cards for all our family and friends.. it seems like the list gets longer every year. But I wouldn’t want it any other way.. I’m so blessed. <3

Just so you know today was soo much better than yesterday I think all the stress of study and the past year just got too both of us. Alisha found out her final results from College today and she is more relaxed now and in holiday mood - lucky her! She did excellent with her Massage course, she is now going onto the Diploma next year. I will tell more another time. I am sooo proud of my twin sis. xo

My Blog

2009-12-20T22:34:00.000+10:00

Hi I'm Tamara and I just turned 18. I have always loved blogging and I have been on and off for a few years now. I'd write about anything really but my blog is always based arond my life as an identical twin. I write about music, my hobbies and anything that comes to my mind. I love to be able to just let my thoughts flow out without any one telling you what you have to or cant write about. I do this by songwriting too.. my love of music is too strong to ever let go. I am big on family life and I am so thankful for them. They taught me everything I know and instilled in me and Alisha the love of music we share. My most recent blog was http://www.mara-twnnie.comlu.com/ which I have been using until a couple days ago. It has been great but for some reason it has messed up and the server has lost everything which im not happy about. So for now I decided to start a blog here at blogger. Im not used to blogging at an easy site like this, im used to setting up mine from scratch without all the automatic things here. But I have to say i love the following, comments and automatic blog archive's. I used to have to do all that manually on my other blogs. Well I thought I'd start of by telling you a bit about myself.

I am an Identical Twin from Brisbane, Australia. My twin sister is Alisha, she is my best friend. We were born 16 weeks premmie at 24 Weeks and spent 6 months in hospital, so like everyone says we are miracles. I also have an older sister and older brother. I love them very much, and no one can mess with me and my family, we are so close and will do anything for eachother.

I love music more than anything. Its the only thing I can say im really good at. Alisha my twin sister and I write songs and perform together we have been doing that all our life and started performing when we were about 5 years old. I play piano, flute and sing and a bit of guitar but im so bad at guitar lol, (leishy u have to teach me! :) i sing in choirs, bands, and duo i also love musical theatre and soon to start singing lessons.

I may seem quiet and insecure when i first meet you and may try to ignore you... thats because im not quick to trust people because of previous expriences.. but if you do the right thing by me and take me for who i am, then i am a very nice, respectful and go with the flow type of girl. I may seem a little different but im just like the average girl. I love shopping, i love nothing more than hanging out with friends and listening to music. I love Australia Zoo and the Wildlife Hospital.. its one of my fave places to visit.. its amazing there, if only i could go their more often.
I love cooking, the computer, TS - Twinstuff.com, I love this site, and for any of you TSers out there my screen name is Brizzy_Twins, so make sure you follow my blog because I know you love reading other Twins and Twin related blogs :) I love clothes, photography, video making.editing and writing songs, scrapbooking and cardmaking. Anything thing creative -peforming arts. I love the country, i love nothing more than going up to our family's farm and watching the sunset. I love helping people and making a difference in their lives. I dont like people who are quick to judge me because they see me for who I'm not. Im not interested in people who try to use me.. im only interested in those who love me for who i am... and will be there when i need them the most.. and ill do the same in return to them.

I hope you will enjoy my blog.

Tamara
