Well, maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself. But I did lie. Said I was going to the gym two days after my last post, didn't happen. I did do crunches on the floor of my bedroom for a couple days, but still didn't even think twice about the gym.
So I made up for it. Went yesterday... AND today!
This blog is very intriguing, all about my adventures in modeling. The road to me becoming someone great in 2009...
Sorry it's not everything you imagined and more. Just me getting excited about my fourth time @ the gym in a year and some other nonsence!
Well that little spurt of self doubt and sarcasm left my mind speechless so I guess I will go eat a tuna sandwich instead of this.

Not So Bad
So I went to the gym. Not once, but twice. It wasn't that bad. Now the hard part is to continue to go. I think this time around it will be easier because I had to finally face the facts. I am not the same girl (physically) as I was two years ago, and that makes me sad. I guess we will see. Two more days and I will walk in that gym again, run two to three miles and smile. It is my year!Photo: me. Two years ago.

A Spoonful of Motivation
A cup of inspiration and a pinch of rivalry... thats my recipe for cocktails and cameras.
Just like many other women in the world today, I am a model. And like those other women, I still have to work two jobs, go to school, audition, shoot and most of the time get nowhere.
I have shot with numerous photographers, most of them amazing and inspirational in their own right, and then some were creeps! Either way I took away something from every shoot. My hopes continue to grow and my dreams steadily become reality.
After taking the last year off to focus on me, I've decided 2009 is my year to make a name for myself. People do not have to look far when trying to find an image of me, they know my name, but slowly i'm fading, becoming just another model. I am determined to not let that happen.
The last couple of months, the motivation and inspiration to make a comeback were starting to build a fire in me, but something was missing. All it took was a text to Chip Willis and a trip to his blog and the missing piece started to fall into place. There, the first two images were that of Amber. My rival. Does she know shes my rival? Most likely. History is hard to forget. When I saw her, I knew I had to shoot. I had to come back and shine brighter than I ever have.
I have blogs. Two others to be exact. One that is private, a haven for only me, and the other is open to the public. It consists of my everyday life, drama included.
But this is my new blog, Cocktails & Cameras, my adventures of modeling. Yes it's true, the journey hasn't started yet, but I gurantee it wont be too long till my name is on everyone's mind again!
I am a model. I am Denyse Bui.
