TVC shoot today

So i got a job in a TV commercial and we shot it today. it was a nice and welcomed break from medicine. i did have a bit of medicine this morning though, as i dropped off my paperwork for medical registration to the office. it was a bit of a rush as i had to get photos and photocopy identification to go along with it. but it needed to be done so, thank the lord it is done now. then i went to Vaucluse in Sydney, which is one of the hoity toity areas in Sydney. we were filming at Vaucluse House, built in 1803, and today stands as one of Sydney's museums. they transformed one of the rooms into a South African kitchen. i had to cook, or should i say pretend to cook, on a Breville electric cooker while singing waltzing matilda in Xhosa. well i lip synced it, cause you all know, i don't speak Xhsoa. the shoot went well i thought, everyone was happy, Matt the director, the clients and everyone else.

my call time was 11 am, but no one got there till after 12 , because they were coming from the other location. so i sat and waited in the Vaucluse House gardens, which are beautiful. i would have taken pics, but i thought i had enough pics of flowers. i got to see a kookaburra take a bath in the fountain though. that was cool. i was an idiot and didn't eat any breakfast before i left so i was filled with water, but not even that could stave off the hunger headache. it was a good thing that we had lunch before we started shooting. the food was great, as is always the case on these things. Neways, it was a pretty good shoot, i like the people and was told that i was beautiful and did well. so i'm not complaining about that at all.

now i still have the headache, but it will eventually go, but sadly its back to medicine tomorrow. the message from church this week was Never Give Up, so i'm gonna do my best not to give up. even thouh, i'm a bit tired and frustrated about the whole medicine thing at the moment. i'm just gonna persevere through this season, and i'll get through the other end eventually and do it well. ok, enough typing now. i'm done.....
