i wanna live inspired

Summer has officially begun!!

Tonight is the last Wednesday night bowling for awhile. 

I got an A in my Cinema class and a B in Film 1 (if not better). 

I’m only working at Domino’s twice this week. 

Working on my first highlight wedding video for my first client of Signature Wedding Films. 

It’s going to be a fun weekend.

Friday - Rebel Revive Music Video shoot. I will be in the crowd as well as shooting behind the scenes! It’s my buddy Matthew’s solo project, super good pop rock stuff. 

And then my first banked track practice if we get done filming in time! 

Saturday - Graduation party for some friends. and then an OCRG game. (not playing) 

Sunday - church from sunrise till 230. Baptism service! So excited!!  then hopefully banked track practice then work 5-9pm. 

That’s all for now. Follow me on instagram: beaterpan

Update on life:

It’s been an amazing past week. God has been so good! 

It’s looking like a trip to Nicaragua is looking more and more like a reality for me to go this July. I will be going there to film with a few film projects! In a couple weeks an indiegogo will be made to help fundraise so watch out for that link ;) 

School is over in 2 weeks! Our last project is due Wednesday and the only thing left for me to do is put together our Production notebook! And in my Cinema class we are watching Big Fish today and have the final next week. Easy peasy. 

I began a program at church called Next Steps. It’s like a discipleship training class. It’s going well and pushing me to explore new ways in my walk with Christ. I memorized John 15:1-12 for the class. Small victories :D  We are also reading A Tale of Three Kings. 

I filmed my first wedding on 5/5! It was a Middle Eastern wedding. Beautiful and very interesting. I have almost 40GB of footage to go through and edit! 

We finally got a General Manager at my work (after not having one for 2 months) and he’s awesome. Hopefully things will be going back to normal soon! 

Anyways, that’s all for now. time to start the day! love ya’ll!

Getting my iPhone set up today! :D

I will be joining 90% of western society by getting an iPhone next week!!

Due to the inhumane conflict minerals in electronics, I have vowed not to buy another phone unless it was conflict free. (Feel free to watch this video to find out more about conflict minerals) So, I will be getting a used 3GS for free. I am quite pumped. Instagram will be my new best friend :P I’ll get to Facetime on tha go. I can finally have my email with me always which I feel is going to be quite necessary with my new wedding film job and internships this summer. I lost my iPod Touch a couple months ago so I get to have my music with me again! And I can play Words with Friends again! Not to mention I can finally play Draw Something :D

Now I know that for the first week at least, I will probably be super attached to my phone cuz it’s a new toy and it’s going to be fun, but I am going to do my best to not be like that 24/7. It bothers me when people can’t put their phone down, especially when they have company. So if you know me IRL, keep me accountable and don’t be afraid to tell me to put my phone down! :)

Any app suggestions?

I want to explain myself a bit

As many of you know, I am a body activist and I believe everyone should feel beautiful in their own skin, just the way it is. And by many of my posts/reblogs, I try to convey that. Some of you also know that I play Roller Derby and I feel that inorder to become a better skater/jammer and athlete, I need to get in shape. So I will be posting a lot of stuff about body activism still, as well as stuff to keep myself motivated in exercising because I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I don’t like to say I am dieting because what we eat, is our diet in general. I am simply trying to eat healthier and exercise daily to be a better athlete. Please don’t confuse my posts or think I am being hypocritical. That is not my intent. I want to inspire my followers to try and be comfortable with themselves as well as inspire myself (and others) with motivation to live a healthy lifestyle. 

Updates on life from the past couple months:

• I have decided to fast from dating (don’t know for how long)
• I got a job as an assistant videographer for an affordable wedding film company
• Working more at Domino’s and also liking it less and less :/ 
• I’ve watched A LOT of movies in the absence of tumblin. 
• I’m stoked on KONY 2012 and Cover the Night! #stopatnothing
• I have decided to join the rest of the western world and get an iPhone this year.
• Photog biz is going slow :/
• Roller Derby has been pretty slow. I only go once a week right now unless I skip tribe (women’s bible study)
• Our league moved our banked track out of storage and into a new home!!
• I tried the official Roller Derby Workout Challenge with hundreds of other skaters internationally and failed miserably.
• starting over on that but instead making it a change of lifestyle and not just a diet. I need to be healthier. period. 
• I joined the YMCA gym and have become a gym junkie haha. love it! 
• i got my banksy tattoo during spring break on my right arm

i needed tonight.

my good friend Val is leaving for tour with some rich kid and she’s gonna be gone for like a month, coming back fo a couple days then on tour in Japan with someone else. 

side note: she’s an amazing drummer in a band called Quinn Ivory.

anyways, myself and like 7 other people gathered at her place tonight to say farewells, pray over her and just have good hangs.  I really needed that community. 

I have missed all those folks so much. and I’m gonna miss Val a ton. 

Prayin for you girrrrl! <3
