... to Where On Earth...
for getting through to the second round of the surface unsigned do dah wotsit!
they even got a nice review from bbc man (http://www.surfaceunsigned.co.uk/midlandsReviews.html):
Where On Earth – Qualified
Arriving with a bus load of fans, its easy to see why Northampton based Where On Earth have such a following. Their sound is pop-punk, yet the energy and talent within the band distinguish them in a crowded genre. Excellent layered vocal harmonies, hooky guitars, exceptional percussion and intelligent lyrics combine with their animated stage performance for a compelling whole. Well-written danceable tracks with catchy sing-along choruses, they have the makings of pop-punk anthems. Be sure to check them out in the second round.

Check out their music i would say its pretty awesome, i do like it! www.whereonearth.net

whats going on in the crazy world of Rosie...
1. Anne and Dennis have left me for 3 weeks, so I have to look after Chloe and pick up her poo, its disgusting! I am very proud of myself as I managed to cook using a common oven, I was slightly stuck but managed Spag. Bol., Lasange and Shepards Pie wooop :)
2. Rose turned 19 woop :) oh dear last year of being teenagers what will we do... how can we make it special ooo I know, agree to stay on Pais :)
3. Plans to surprise people back home fell through as the flight got booked up! Thanks for the offer of the lift Sam, I am upset I cant take you up on it :( however my little brother dom might be coming out, and skiving school wooop :) watch this space in the next half and hour. maybe he'll bring gifts of baked beans and branston pickle.. hint hint
3.5. I recieved a belated present from Laura, which is rocking woo I can get my hair cut! I also got a 'daddy pack' with dan's address, i got some very nice cats notelets - they look posh they have wrapping stuff thing to protect them lol - a dib dap (the only edible thing left), jelly beans, wine gums, tolberone and i think that it. I then got my new bank card yesterday and he sent me $20 to go buy a burger for me and rose so i will spend it on her dinner tongight :) arent I blessed by my insane random family.
4. Im team leading again this week, and poor Denai is sick again! Its rather annoying bless her, so please pray for her healing.
5. Youth's pretty awesome, they are cool really. Sam, Kyle, Ken and Holly helped lead UTown in worship on sunday, I was uber impressed, the best worship since coming to vancouver I think... well in a church service for definate. Tom's off to england so we are taking them to a mall on friday, wont that be fun, i do wonder what havoc they will cause and how quickly! Oooo Tom becomes a canadian on thrusday how exciting.. History Maker stuff is starting to get arranged and the beining stages of a mission trip to mexico are in the pipeline, if you could be praying for this that would be great. heres a note from tanis:
This August I will be taking a handful of youth down to the Baja in Mexico to build houses for the Indigenous people in that area.
What is this about?
I NEED YOU HELP.
we need to book flights from Vancouver to San diego:
- Do you know anyone in the airline industry i could speak to to propose deals/discount/sponsorship for cheaper flights?
Funds for the trip and the cost of building the house;
- Do you feel called to donate money towards this event?
- Do you know a company or work for a company that might want to sponsor/donate towards this?
Food;
- Do you know someone in the 'food industry' that might want to donate food for the group of youth on the trip - to save costs that way for them.
Clothing? Toys?
- if you have good clothing that you want to donate, or toys for the children in the area - we would love to take them down there for you...
Anything else?
Any other way you might feel inspired to help with this trip - ideas on fundraising, please message me and let me know.
6. next year... we have a meeting tomorrow to find out more, but I will be Area Leader for the Westside. Rose, Ali, Jenna and Rebekka are staying, wont that be sweet.
7. schools.. whats happening.. after spring break we do a sex ed session in Eric Hamber, and we move the games mini at Uhill over the youth room at Uchapel, we are also looking to start a group in a basement for the Christians at Kitts, this depends on the interest from the students. Things are pretty exciting, we have seen students from Uhill attend the friday night cafe at Uchapel :)
8. we had a training session on reaching asian students, and then we went out for beef noodle soup, its was pretty yummy and seems to be the new westside team pet fave!
yet again I've been thinking about my role and who God's called me to be, this time Vision keeps coming up, what is my vision and where am I going in that, what places/things has he placed on my heart and why? (countries or minstries), how does this determine how I live now? And where does this fit with the Pais vision (which it does lol). What do I see myself doing, and is that God's plan or my plan.. And what about summer, how do I mould and shape it in such a way that I get the practial things done as well as living in my vision constantly. what about when I get rubbed up the wrong way? or treat family wrong, because I fall back into the mindset of home.. ermmm
