<p>I have been getting massage&#8217;s for as long as I can remember.</p>
<p>I have travelled to Thailand 8 times&#8230;which made me very fond of having a massage everyday. They cost $10 in Thailand so I would usually have two a day.</p>
<p>Back here in Sydney it&#8217;s a costly exercise that can leave you with a big hole in your pocket&#8230;so this life luxury is exercised once a month.</p>
<p>The other aspect of getting a good massage is finding the &#8216;perfect&#8217; masseuse. I have had some shocking experiences in some of Sydney&#8217;s top day spas&#8230;and all you can think about during the massage is not&#8230;balmy sunsets on tropical islands&#8230;but &#8216;Holy Smokes&#8230;I&#8217;m paying HOW much for this?&#8221;&#8230;I needed to go to the toilet during one of these highly costly massages and the therapist said that I would have to forfeit the rest of my massage&#8230;(I still had 20 minutes to go!)</p>
<p>So&#8230;I would like to introduce you to Jeevi Ramtel from Aus Fitness Massage&#8230;he is now my personal masseuse. He travels to your house, sets up his table and puts soothing music or chanting (depending on your preferences.)</p>

<p>THE OVER EXPOSED black and white party was hosted by The Loft and Hobogestapo.</p>
<p>All things black and white party, people and pop culture came together this Thursday at The Loft in Sydney.</p>
<p>The Hobogestapo photographers (<a onmousedown="UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), &quot;0bf72FVeSbDK_qNgGS8XKYPzyXA&quot;, event);" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hobogestapo.com/" target="_blank">www.hobogestapo.com</a> ) exhibited a collection of their photos in a pop up gallery at the loft, where you could purchase images on the night.</p>
<p>Live performances from THE PIANO MAN &amp; BACKHANDERZ (UK) Live got the party started&#8230;</p>
<p>The event was supported by Smirnoff Black &amp; Johnnie Walker Black.</p>
<p>The photos were pretty cool. I was expecting a little bit more photos.. there weren&#8217;t that many on display. The over exposed &#8216;look&#8217; of the photos gave me some inspiration for my budding photography hobby.</p>
<p>All in all it was a great night&#8230;I stole a Gold Jacket&#8230;and yes I gave it back&#8230;and I danced like I have never danced before&#8230;</p>

<p>Do you ever feel like you put on a character for different situations in your life?</p>
<p>Maggie Mayhem is my new-found persona&#8230;that flourishes during the night.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a funny concept really, by day your one person and by night you turn into someone completely different.</p>
<p>I used to do these little social experiments a few years back&#8230;depending on my mood for that day&#8230;I would dress and act in a particular way.</p>
<p>On Monday: I would be my &#8216;hippy&#8217; self. I would pull out my tree of life clothing&#8230;those long gypsy skirts and angel tops&#8230;put plaits in my hair&#8230;and sit reading a novel. When I was this person&#8230;I would attract similar people&#8230;and yes I have a few Hare Krishna friends&#8230;that loved the fact I lived in India&#8230;and studied with the Dalai Lama.</p>
<p>On Tuesday: I would put on my baggy jeans, sneakers and a cap. I was &#8216;Tom Boy&#8217; Ania&#8230;who went to an Agricultural highschool and knew how to sheer sheep and who owned a motorcycle licence.</p>
<p>On Wednesday: I would wear a power suit..and walk like I owned the place&#8230;this was the persona I put on when I was doing Film publicity. I needed to get stuff done&#8230;NOW&#8230;</p>
<p>On Thursday: I would be the uni geek with glasses, my cardigan and no make up&#8230;This was the Ania that was studying political science at university&#8230;the Ania that spoke of history, philosophy and art&#8230;who spent most of her time volunteering.</p>
<p>On Friday: I would wear something funky and arty&#8230;and that would usually mean I was going to some art exhibition or play. This Ania came from her acting backround&#8230;those &#8216;arty&#8217; types are one of a kind.</p>
<p>On Saturday: I would be fashionable&#8230;like one of those Eastern Suburbs kids&#8230;because yes like them I frequented bars and went to trendy cafes.</p>
<p>And on Sunday&#8230;well I just wore my tracksuits&#8230;working out who I wanted to be next week&#8230;</p>
<p>I loved playing dress up&#8230;because people couldn&#8217;t stereo type you&#8230;one minute you would be a wall flower&#8230;the next some extroverted attention seeker.</p>
<p>I realised the character I have created in the past few weeks&#8230;I call her &#8216;Maggie Mayhem&#8217;&#8230;The party persona&#8230;</p>
<p>Now how do you explain to your childhood friends or ex boyfriends&#8230;my social experiment?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m an actor&#8230;and truthfully no one will ever know who I actually am&#8230;ok maybe a handful of people&#8230;but even they don&#8217;t know which &#8216;character&#8217; they will be hanging out with that day!</p>

<p>I have a book called &#8216;The Magic Book&#8217;. It&#8217;s basically a diary that has one page for each day.</p>
<p>At the top of the page I write &#8220;Something wonderful will happen today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then below I write the day plan as if it already happened.</p>
<p>An example:</p>
<p>I have a successful work meeting and I am confident and in control.</p>
<p>I worked out to my full capabilities and pushed myself to the max during kickboxing.</p>
<p>My presentation for university is written to a high distinction level.</p>
<p>You can write whatever you want. Make sure you keep it safe so you don&#8217;t feel like someone will read it (as this will alter what you write.)</p>
<p>Since I started my &#8216;magic book&#8217; so much of what I write in that has eventuated.</p>
<p>The principles behind my idea are that of &#8216;The Secret&#8217; and many other books.</p>
<p>If it doesn&#8217;t manifest straight away&#8230;it usually does so eventually.</p>
<p>Have a go!</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t believe in it&#8230;atleast you will have a place to write out your to do list for the day!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m going through a blog I wrote 2 years ago. Sitting back and reading my thoughts&#8230;thinking about how I have progressed as a person. Have I progressed or taken a step back? I&#8217;m not sure&#8230;</p>

<div id="pBlogBody_268158482">
<p>I have decided that I missed blogging my thoughts like I did in India&#8230;.hey I have been asked to write a book about it&#8230;so it did come in handy&#8230;..so&#8230; I might aswell keep writting&#8230;Coming back to Sydney and reality&#8230; has probably been one of the hardest things I have had to deal with. I forgot about all the social etiquette required&#8230;and who I was before I left.</p>
<p>Travelling doesn&#8217;t give you all the answers it creates a hell of a lot more. As my life progresses here&#8230;.I wonder wether I should really be somewhere else&#8230;.</p>
<p>So NY will wait till next year, Im sure Ill do something crazy like end up with Joachim in Africa&#8230;.by the years end&#8230;and help start an orphanage I promised I would&#8230;</p>
<p>But&#8230;.in life&#8230; when do we truelly know when to start something? When to stop something? When to let go of something? Or whether to go for the job or the adventure&#8230;? Like I always said when travelling&#8230;. a day of adventure is worth a thousand days of a normal existance&#8230;.now does this mean&#8230;..do I try to find adventure here untill I can go to a third world country? Or do I go now? Do I choose success professionally or follow my free spirit into the unknown again?</p>
<p>Or am I running away from something? I know I don&#8217;t ever want a normal life&#8230;but is a gypsy life any better then a morgage,an accountant husband and 2.5 kids?</p>
<p>Do we want stability?Or do we want to live each day differently?Commitment&#8230;wether financial, relationship based or career driven&#8230;is something I struggle with&#8230;I can&#8217;t commit to a certain brand of coffee let alone another person&#8230;career&#8230;or even country.</p>
<p>The choice people face at this age&#8230;is a hard one&#8230;although I&#8217;m about 50 million people rolled into one&#8230;I can truelly feel the world shouting my name.</p>
<p>I dont belong anywhere&#8230;and thats the way I like it. I lost myself a while back&#8230;and it took me a long time to find strength again&#8230;but I wouldnt change a thing.</p>
<p>Do I believe in destiny?Not quite&#8230;we create alot of our own destiny&#8230;we create our own situations&#8230;we surround ourselves with people that shape or teach us something.</p>
<p>We go through pain&#8230;.but without it&#8230;.we would never know pleasure&#8230;</p>
<p>How do we choose what is good and what is evil?</p>
<p>How do we know if we are a good person or a bad one?</p>
<p>How do we perceive ourselves???? And how do others perceive us&#8230;.if they even do so at all&#8230;</p>
<p>Do we play dress ups each day in order to &#8216;fit&#8217; the mould we created ourselves? Are we a shell to the outside world? Does anyone truelly know us? And do we actually like the &#8216;image&#8217; created of ourselves by the world?</p>
<p>I had this massive urge overseas to forgive everyone. To tell everyone close to me that I loved them&#8230;but that was probably because I stared death in the face a tad too many times. I forgived my brother for dying, I forgived the men in Kashmir&#8230;.hell I even forgave the evil Indian bus drivers&#8230;..was I trying to make peace with them? Or with my own self?</p>
<p>Now&#8230;looking at pictures&#8230;we have a glimpse of an existence&#8230;.but what are we trying to prove?</p>
<p>I think as humans we all want to feel wanted, needed and loved&#8230;thats a basic human need&#8230;but as the years have accumilated&#8230; how we receive that&#8230;.dramatically changes&#8230;changes as our views on the needs change.</p>
<p>I will finish my book by August&#8230;. I will shoot my showreels&#8230;start my business&#8230;and finish my degree&#8230;I will do what I have to in order to be &#8217;seen&#8217; as successful&#8230;but deep down inside I will know&#8230;success is measured by what is really in someones heart&#8230;.and the goodness that shines from them&#8230;</p>
<p>Something thats shines but is rarely seen&#8230;..</p>

<p>Are you struggling with changing your life?</p>
<p>The silent killer of putting plans into action is &#8216;routine&#8217;.</p>
<p>If we don&#8217;t change what we do daily how can we get a different result?</p>
<p>Routine makes us live like we are in a haze&#8230;we get up, go to work, drink on the weekend&#8230;and then do it all again next week&#8230;</p>
<p>So today&#8217;s challenge&#8230;is to do something different.</p>
<p>Start with baby steps&#8230;try a new hobby&#8230;go to a different bar&#8230; or try a new restaurant&#8230;</p>
<p>Then progress into bigger steps&#8230;change jobs or even move to another country!</p>
