When all the world is spinning a round like a red balloon way up in the clouds, and my feet will not stay on the ground - You anchor me back down

I am nearly world renowned as a restless soul who always skips town. But I look for you to come around and anchor me back down

There are those who think that I'm strange. They would box me up and tell me to change. But you hold me close and softly say, that you wouldn't have me any other way

When people pin me as a clown, you behave as though I'm wearing a crown. When I'm lost I feel so very fond, when you anchor me back down

love is a process, not an event

2011-10-25T18:04:00.001+11:00

"I think being in love is a process, not an event.

That said, as far as I’m concerned, young people who think they are in love are in love, kind of by definition.

That love may not last a lifetime, and it may not feel like it was love looking back on it later, but none of that delegitimizes the reality of the experience while it was being experienced."

You know this don't feel right.

Who knows what we feel?I just met you I can read your thoughts.What they tell me is what I want.I'll keep you guessing - keep you wanting more.'Cause where we're going no one knows.

I just met you, I swear I read your thoughts -So don't forget me or what you want.

Light up the stage, make your move, give me somethingso I can dance in your light and to your rhythm.Soon it unfolds who we are in this masquerade of starsTear off the mask, the face you hide is what I'm missing

We made plans to kiss the sun at night. Hopeless dreamers, hopeless times. One was turning, one was standing still.

I won't forget what was promised here. You know this don't feel right.

Who knows what we feel?

Do you ever get that feeling where all you want to do, is do things right and at the beginning of the day you're so optimistic and so determined to make it a great day? But then at the end of the day, the demons sap the light out of everything and all you can do is sit in the darkness and wait.

All the while with the gigantic elephant standing in the room, you just sit there. You sit and you wait. Wait for the sun to rise again. But will you go on and just sweep the dust under the rug? Or do you viciously throw all that you know and turn your world upside down?

When at the beginning of it all, you just wanted a good day.

Yays and Nays

2011-08-09T22:55:00.001+10:00

I refuse to let my 'Nays' of the day outweigh the goodness of today - however small they may be.

NAY, I had two tiring pracs today that took the full 3 hours.
YAY! I survived them, made a new friend, and genuinely had fun.
NAY, I was tired (SO TIRED) hungry, and had 0 productivity (study wise)
YAY! I fully appreciate my friend.
NAY, felt bad for ditching my friend at the tram stop.
YAY! had a really good Bible Study Sesh.
NAY, They decided to do Karaoke.
YAY! It was entertaining and funny
NAY, I held back.
YAY! Early home time, sleep early, rest up, be refreshed.
NAY, ... or not. Sarah got a flat tyre.
YAY! My youth pastor was there to save us and helped change the tyre, even with his shattered leg that has been operated on 11 times. I'm so grateful.
YAY! We eventually did get home... doesn't matter how late
YAY! Thankful for my sister who still happily drove me home
YAY! That we got home safely
YAY! for the amazing food my parents left for me when I got home
YAY! for the understanding parents of my immensely tiring day...
YAY! I can finally settle down and sleep.

...

NAY, ... I left my pencil case at church.
YAY! my friend was there to pick it up for me.

It's taken A LOT to help me see beyond the bad.

Intelligent Design vs. Evolution

2011-06-18T00:44:00.000+10:00

As you know, I am Christian and yeah I do believe in intelligent design, and honestly this topic really annoys me. Not because I am biased to one side or I believe that one side is better than the other but the lack of respect that goes on when people are having these so-called 'discussions'. (on both sides)

I understand that when we did school debates, we would 'belittle' our opponent and try and make our point of view look more appealing than theirs. However, in this case, IT'S JUST DIFFERENT (I know, I'm terrible at presenting my case). Each and everyone of us have our own beliefs and when one person attacks the other saying something that disrespects them in anyway - is not making progress in the discussion whatsoever. If both parties want to present their point of view, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT CAN'T BE DONE IN A NON-JUDGMENTAL WAY.

On the same note, I see many people who defend their belief in intelligent design saying things such as "hahaha you are all going to hell". A 'holier-than-thou' mentality misses the entire point of believing in Christ in the first place! But that is the point though, none of us are perfect.

"...when others start taking the bible literally..... It is too funny"
Is it really? I don't sit in biology lectures laughing when my lecturer is talking about something she is truly passionate about. I have the decency (as does everyone else in the lecture) to let her have her say about things.

Let's say you have something precious to you. Let's say you introduce your friends to this amazing thing that you have, but when you show it to them, they laugh and point at you saying that it's ridiculous and it's the dumbest thing that you have ever seen. Naturally you'd feel hurt right?

I guess I'm just sensitive. But I am completely positive that people don't need to put each other down in order for their view to be presented.

In all of this, no I'm no better than the next person.

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue anyway the thing is...

What I really mean...

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody, this is your song. It may be quite simple but, now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words ...

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor, but then again no, or girl who makes potions in a traveling show - I know it's not much but it's the best I can do. My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song. It may be quite simple but now that it's done

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Let the RAIN

2011-05-17T18:50:00.000+10:00

If my hands could hold them you'd see I'd take all these secrets in me and I'd move and mold them to be something I'd set free

I want to darken the skies. Open the floodgates up. I want to change my mind. I want to be enough. I want the water in my eyes. I want to cry until the end of time. I want to let the rain come down, make a brand new ground.

Let the rain come down

I hold on to worry so tight. It's safe in here right next to my heart. Who now shouts at the top of her voice, "Let me go, let me out, this is not my choice"

And I always felt it before that the world was filled with much more than the drowning soul I've learned to be I just need the rain to remind me ...

Let the rain come down

So I think I have pride issues. I feel the need to defend anything that is remotely about me or mean something to me. Like the fact that I don't ask for help at Uni (which is ultimately my downfall) because

1) I don't want to bother anyone
2) I don't like asking questions that are seemingly obvious to everyone else except me
3) I don't like appearing weak or that I always need help (I mean if they can do it themselves why can't I?)

On another note, apologies for the hiatus, been busy with University.

I have a question for you.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR YOUR ACTIONS?

This is applicable to everything in your life right now. Why do you study so much? Why do you sacrifice so much of your time on a seemingly pointless essay with sleepless nights? Why don't you just be a dole bludger? Why not go to a short course and live your life, instead of spending a whole chunk of it studying a University degree? In fact, why study at all? So you can have a comfortable life with a house, family... a dog perhaps? Is that it? What will you do when you have all that? Will it just be work .. family .. a particularly exciting event here and there... is that it?

I know my answers. I have my purpose. What's yours?

Just something to ponder.

Better than Life

via Julian Bialowas
Copyright not intended

It's so easy to say positive things when you're in such a good place in that moment of time. I can say that I'm going to be more positive but when things get inevitably difficult and challenging, it's as though your life will be determined on whether or not you get through it at all.

Then you fall into that massive pit of doom where you find yourself being inefficient and sulking about it when you realise that if you had just stayed calm and done what needs to be done in the first place, then you would've completed by the time you had sufficiently exhausted yourself by sulking!

This is my vicious cycle to juggle life amongst other things. I will always try though - to be positive that is - and I think that's all people ask of me.

Just to try.

Tomorrow

2011-04-03T22:15:00.001+10:00

From my good friend ANGOOSE.

"TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED"

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be: your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential strength, will power, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, whether they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are, and even the bad experiences can be learned from, In fact, they are probably the poignant and important ones.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again...

Work hard, train hard, laugh hard, love hard

Hold your head up because you have every right too.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself... for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish.

love,

k.

Hans Zimmer

Via ZANITA - "Tritons Daughter"

I quote this girl way too much.

“Anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”

"You can’t control other people. You can’t control the amount of guilt they feel for the things they’ve done to you, you can’t control whether they have good fortune or bad, and you can’t change somebody by silently stewing in your own resentment. You carry around all this negativity and you’re reckless and you act on spite. No good will ever come of bitterness.

So you can be that person, you can be the one getting drunk with all those grudges you’re holding. Or maybe, just maybe, you can be the one who moves the fuck on. You can choose to get the most out of your situation and you can forgive. You can start showing yourself a little bit of respect and restore some peace in your life. You can realize that you aren’t torturing anybody but yourself. Your life is still happening, you might as well be an active member in it."

So today is my birthday. It couldn't have been any better. Except maybe without Uni. Had Uni 10-12pm and then Evan, Paolo, Cords and Emily met up with me and we ate and chilled on South Lawn whilst playing Monopoly Deal (which by the way, is an AWESOME game). I got new a DSLR remote, Diva giftcard, Monopoly Deal, new Havaianas and a moleskine. So although all we did was play Monopoly Deal, it was really good. Just to have you guys come all the way to the city and MelU was a great present in itself.

I know this is short but I just wanna say thanks to everyone that wished me a happy birthday, and even if I couldn't see you today - Thanks heaps (:

You all know who you are that matter to me so I just wanna say thanks anyways, just for being my friend.

Come, tell me your trouble. I'm not your answer, But I'm a listening ear. Reality has left you reeling, all facts and no feeling - No faith and all fear

I don't know why a good man will fall while a wicked one stands. And our lives blow about like flags on the land.

Who's at fault is not important. Good intentions lie dormant and we're all to blame. While apathy acts like an ally, my enemy and I are one and the same

I don't know why the innocents fall, while the monsters still stand and our lives blow about like flags on the land.

I don't know why our words are so proud, yet their promise soothing. And our lives blow about
Like flags in the wind

You who mourn will be comforted. You who hunger will hunger no more. All the last shall be first. Of this I am sure. You who weep now will laugh again. All you lonely be lonely no more. Yes, the last will be first. Of this I'm sure.

I don't know why the innocents fall, while the monsters stand. I don't know why the little ones thirst, but I know the last shall be first ...

I know the last shall be first

I know the last shall be first.

Yesterday I went to Uni, had a lecture and a tute, pondered over the questions I had no idea how to do so constantly asked my friend how to do it, and then complained to another friend about how I didn't know how to do it, then came home and sat in front of the net. I checked my email and saw that JB was having a sale on TVs. Suggested to my parents that we should 'invest' in a new TV since it would be much easier to watch movies etc. PLUS, our cousins from Malaysia are coming over so we want something new to entertain them with. Turns out, my mum was in a buying mood and said "Let's get it." Whilst my parents checked out the new TV at JB HiFi, I slaved away at work offering afternoon tea, stripping (as in taking the food off the trays hahaha), setting up dinner trays, having a kick-ass dinner, collecting dirty trays, sending (through the 10m long dishwasher) and finally sweeping. Dad picked me up and I asked how "checking out the TV" was. He said "we wanted to consult you so we didn't get it .... yet". Came home, ate MORE dinner and at 9.30 randomly decided that since we're pretty much set on getting a new TV we should probably rearrange the furniture. So for 3 hours we vaccuumed at some mad hour of night, heaved and pushed furniture around, gawked at how much crap there was between the couch cushions (lol) and sighed at how much stuff we have (Just as an idea, we have 3 dining tables in the space of two conjoined rooms D:). We often paused and stood, hands on hips, visualising where things would go and how we could fit something into a corner. Finally, one room was done and tidy. The adjoining room, however, looked like some rabid hoarder had taken hold of our dining area and crammed all their 'treasure' into that confined space. At 12.30am we decided to call it a day and went to bed.

Today, up and early, I woke up at 8.15am - due partially to the excitement of a new TV and partially because I couldn't breathe because I'm sick. Dad woke up at 9 and we headed to Nunawading where we set out to go to JB HiFi but somehow ended up in "The Good Guys". Dad worked his magic and price matched the TV that we wanted, however she then offered $50 more for an extra 2 years warranty. Done deal + power board + screen cleaner + antenna cable. Turns out we spent $150 more than we set out to. Party time, loaded it into the car, drove really slowly over the speed bumps and on the way home.

We shoved the TV into the corner and opened the box, only to be disappointed by 5-10 intense, deep scratches right in the middle of the screen. Turns out, dad looked at the box and it seemed like something sharp like a screwdriver had been driven through the box, cutting the cardboard and the protective plastic bag and scratching the surface of the screen. Technology does not go our way. Thing is, is that Dad had actually learned from my b'day phone incident and had asked to open it in store but due to inconvenience didn't open it up in the store. Should've, could've, would've. Oh well, in the end, we called up the The Good Guys, the parents took it back and they gladly gave a refund. Finally, my parents came home with a completely different TV, spending $450 more than what we would've if the other TV wasn't scratched. Oh the hilarity. My parents were happy with the purchase and that's all that matters.

So we set it all up, put it all together, had to move it to a different place than planned due to the lead being too short and then plugging it all in, switching it on, scanning channels .. and .. Oh? What's this? Only three channels. Hahaha. So what happened was that of the 3 TV antenna sockets in the house, the one that we plugged into, is the one disconnected from the external antenna. Golden. So either 1) we move ALL THE FURNITURE AGAIN (death) or 2) we get a TV guy to come do it for us. LOL what more cost could be involved in getting a new TV?

That was a pretty detailed version of my two days, but I loved it. It was awesome. Worst time to get a new TV though - being 2 weeks away from finishing summer school and the exam.

On a completely irrelevant note, here are some pictures of Natalie Portman - Just because I love her and she has been my favourite female actress ever since I saw her in Star Wars as Queen Amidala + her stunning performance in Black Swan. If you haven't seen it go watch it !

It's so easy to go out and react in a vicious and condescending way. It takes courage and wisdom to stand back, evaluate and then respond in a way that not only saves a relationship but also resolves a black hole. When you're again given the opportunity that can make or break a relationship, think about what's at stake.

If you've again made the same mistake for the 2817204th time and you want change, don't expect it to happen if you're going to perform the exact same actions all over again. If you really want change, something has gotta give. You have to do something that you haven't done in order for change to ensue. Don't expect change if you're going to go through the same cycle. Do something different.

In the light of recently events, being under stress and other such things ... I will write this here.

"Promise Yourself - To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk of health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble"

This cannot be more applicable.

k.

I wish I could’ve posted this prior to the start of 2011, but the lack of internet access has proven an obstacle. That’s ok (:

I never remember all my New Year’s Resolutions, but I always remember one. Last year I distinctly remember “Take more pictures, even of the littlest of things” – My friend asked why. I responded with “Because things change so quickly, and most of the time you don’t realise it.” It’s my last day in Malaysia and I can tell I’m going to miss it so much. But the one thing I’m glad is that in time I’ll look at the photos I have and I can have a glimpse of what I think was the ultimate holiday. I look forward to seeing my family again.

At the end of every year, just before the fireworks and the ushering in of the New Year, I never fail to getting a ‘feeling’. It’s either of welcoming a fresh new start and excited to begin anew or being held back and somewhat prevented from being able to make a fresh start. I don’t know what I feel this time ... but I think I’m leaning towards the latter. It’s just a feeling. Nothing significant... right?

In light of the New Year I will attempt to make some New Years’ Resolutions. If you’re reading this... keep me accountable.

Be generous; give until it hurts to give anymore.
Pray more, Read more; there is always the answer even if it’s not that answer you want to hear.
Take more pictures; This year = LEARN.
Be open to change whether good or bad; out of the bad there is always good.
Persist; You don’t know your potential, therefore the only way to find out is to keep going forward.

There’s definitely more than this limited list but it’s a start and I think of the most important ones first. I hope you all had the best New Year’s Eve and let’s hope 2011 turns out to the be AMAZINGGGGG !

love,

Et Cetera.

What up. Hope y'all are having splendid end of year events and had a wonderful Christmas. Throughout this amazing holiday with the WHOLE family (all 23 of us) I've thought "Oh I've gotta blog about that .. " and never did. But one thing I have to say is that it feels SO complete and whole when an entire family is together. It takes a while for families that hardly see each other to eventually warm up with each other and actually talk and bond. That initial awkwardness sucks and there are still some members of the family that I don't entirely click with but it's awesome when you really click with others.

Ewww that was sweet. Too sweet.

Let's talk awesome.

Well I finally got my DSLR and I have already snapped my way through about 1k of photos which I think is great practice but I need to really get a handle on M(anual) mode and get all ape on arty mode. I'm pretty sure I locked away my creativity in an airtight jar and it's pretty much fermented and warped into a disgusting piece of hm.. Dang... not typing for a while does things to my brain. I'll stop now.

I miss you all (:

Shout out to Harry, Emily, Nathan and James. You guys are awesome and "The Group" would be nothing without each of you. Happy Birthday (: ! I hate that I missed alllll your birthdays. Why were you conceived in the same month. Homg lol. What am I saying ... hahahahahhaha.

‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me’ is NOT true. I don’t understand why this saying has been around and survived so long when clearly, many situations in everyone’s life beg to differ. Bloody heck, words hurt. Some more than others and even if people say things that are so far from the truth ... they can still hurt. Basically, a speeding car drove past and I hear an echoing “f*** off, slut!” I know this is a stupid, immature and most probably a drunkard remark but dang, it hurts when you know something is directed at you. The next time you say something, ‘think before you speak’ is probably the best advice to give. I’ll be trying to too.

Honest Question, requesting Honest answer

Facing the facts.

2010-11-05T19:41:00.000+11:00

I am thankful for the job I have - earning money for my independence. It's actually really physically demanding and working with people that gossip a lot and complain doesn't help very much, but that's ok - I don't mind.

The one thing that does bothers me though is that it's a hospital. When you THINK of a hospital it should be a place of healing and health, but sometimes it's also a place where people are left to die. I don't mean to sound "LEFT to DIE" ... I mean, people go there, knowing that they're probably not going to recover. The majority of the patients that are at this particular hospital are older, and sometimes, just by looking at them - they're sick of hospitals and they don't want to spend the rest of their time in one. But they can't move, they're fragile and they physically can't move. It's difficult. Sometimes I think it's a blessing that I see so many different faces that I don't remember individual people. I think if I did remember certain people, this job would be so much more harder.

I was so against euthanasia - I still pretty much am. The idea of someone playing god and 'pulling the plug' is not something that I follow. But seeing some of these patients, the way they don't answer when people greet them, the way they just LOOK at you ... is an entirely different story.

A tray of food was returned today (or yesterday)* to the kitchen with a note saying "Patient passed away." I went past that room, it was all nicely done up with the menu on the table, bed made and as if nothing happened.

This blog was REALLY difficult to write.

Something (along the lines of) I told Evan today:

"I finally got the OK from the rents about buying a DSLR after exams ... By 'rents' I really mean just my mum, by 'OK' I really mean an 'mhmm' in passing conversation and by 'after exams' I really mean never."

"Today my dad was telling me about how his friend’s wife just retired. She’s in her late 50’s and they just bought a house in Florida and were getting ready to enjoy themselves after years of hard work. They’d finally reached the time in their lives that they’d been waiting for. She went to the doctor and found out she has cancer all over her body. It started in her bladder and is just everywhere now. She might make it to one single winter in Florida. My point is, shit is fleeting. Live now. Be eager. Do things. You can’t sit on your ass and wait for the day you’re going to decide to be important. If you want to be important, do it. If you always wanted to ride a donkey down the god damn grand canyon, figure out a way how now. None of this shit is promised to us. There is no time to hang out in the waiting room. This is your life, and you have no idea when it’s going to be over. Get to living it." via Kait Payne

I can't agree more. But as much as each one of us wanna 'get living', how many of us will start doing that now? I find it hard to initiatiate such a dramatic thing. You know how I wanna get living? Buy a DSLR and start shooting every damn thing. Why? Because life changes in so many little ways everyday that we don't seem to notice it, and it's always too late when you realise you missed something, or more importantly someONE.

I dare you to find what you love and bloody follow it.

If you were brought up in a place other than where you were brought up - do you think you would be a completely different person?

I think I would be. When I think about it - many of the friends that I had, influenced what I liked, what I was meant to like and what was seen as acceptable. It is a combination of both my own personality and the people that I chose to be in my life. I don't think I'm an individual - I genuinely think that I just copy pieces of other people and I am just a little portions of other people, in one body. For example, I don't think I would've learned to love Lion King or Star Wars if it weren't for my sister. I honestly believe that if it weren't for her I would've grown up thinking Star Wars was a dumb sixology and have no real appreciation for the magnificent series. I'm not saying I don't have my own taste of certain things, I do, but I do think the majority of myself isn't actually from me. So I think, in saying that, if I were brought up somewhere else, with different people in a different situation, I would be me - but a reflection of different people.

Two cents.

By the way, more texty blogs or more picture blogs? I don't mind ... However, I AM worse at in-depth thinking blogs. But sometimes things sound good in my head, but when I blog it. It sounds try-hard.

The Prize Doesn’t Always Go To The Most Deserving

2010-09-22T23:13:00.000+10:00

Irena Sendler
1910-2008

A 98 year-old German woman named Irena Sendler recently died. During WWII, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. Irena smuggled Jewish children out; infants in the bottom of the tool box she carried and older children in a burlap sack she carried in the back of her truck. She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children. She eventually was caught, and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families. Most had been killed. She helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won - for a slide show on Global Warming.

You know what makes a good person? Psh ... I wouldn't know. I was asking you the question.

You know what makes a patient person? I am beginning to learn.

You know what makes someone REAL? GENUINE? When they have flaws that they're not afraid to show. They're not afraid to confess to and they attempt to not be in denial.

You know what makes someone ORIGINAL? The contradictory - "We all are different. But yet all the same" Emphasis on the SAME part.

But you know what makes a jealous person? I know all too much about that.

And you know what else I know all too much about? People who don't deserve what they get.

Lastly? What makes two people fall in love? When they see each other's flaws, when they see their own, and then with each other .. they learn to fall in love with them.

I've been anticipating amazing SPRING weather. But I guess good things take time ... and so do things you want really bad. For example, I decided I'd wait to buy my DSLR. Not only that, I decided I'd work for it. Firstly, I'd need a job. Today I sent in my resume for Epworth Eastern Hospital. It would be so convenient to work there - it's in working distance from home.

It's ok if I don't get it. Not saying that I won't be disappointed ... I guess I'll have to keep on trying.

It's late and I am tired. Wish I could spark a smile. The place is flying high but right now I wanna be low. Don't wanna move an inch ... let alone a million miles and I don't wanna go but I know I gotta go. I just want to feel alive

The times you don't wanna wake up. 'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up. The sun is always gonna rise up You need to get up, gotta keep your head up. Look at the people all around you. The way you feel is something everybody goes through. Dark out, but you still gotta lie up. You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up

Seems like the more you grow the more time you spend alone. Before you know it you end up perfectly on your own. The city's shining bright - But you don't see the light. How can you concentrate on things that don't make you feel right

I just want to feel all right

I'm looking for more than a little bit. I'm gonna have to find my way through it. Gonna leave a mark. I'm gonna set a spark. I'm coming above the ground

Bello, bello amore - By DoraLovey

(Copyright is owned by their respective owners - as does credit. Click-through links on images)

When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear and there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years to make you feel my love

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet, but I would never do you wrong
I’ve known it from the moment that we met no doubt in my mind where you belong

I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue, I’d go crawling down the avenue
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rollin’ sea and on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free you ain’t seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true - nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the earth for you to make you feel my love

- Bob Dylan

I'm sorry to say, but if you are clever get amazing high marks and you either

study really hard and have the motivation and attention span to study for long periods of time OR
just have the smarts and have photographic memory and everything is just so easy to understand

THAT specific aspect of you I both dislike and am jealous of.

It sucks to be so mediocre. I'm not wishing that you were any dumber. I'm just wishing that I was something better. But that would be insulting those who love me and care for me. I'm sorry for that. I honestly just want to give up on anything University-related. I'm not kidding.

If I could describe to you how I feel at this moment .. it would be somewhere between disappointment, jealousy, envy, anger, frustration. I vowed I wouldn't post another post like this or anything related to this sort of emotional ventilation. But fudge, this is my blog and I can do whatever I like.

Mitch is at the doctor's - he had a bad fall and ceases to function. Hopefully he's ok. There's a 50/50 chance that he will survive. I hope for the best. (This isn't a person that I know by the way. You'll understand if you know what I mean.)

Today I sorted out my timetable crisis - Thank God. It was an easy solution, and it turned out perfectly fine. If anyone is curious, this is my timetable for semester 2, 2010.

Yay for 2 hour breaks everyday .. except Thursday - a 3 hour break on a prac week.

And you know what? I'm not complaining. At least it's not a one hour break that I can't get any work done. It's a substantial 2-3 hour break that I can actually sit down, eat, and get some work done.

Enough of that shananigans. I'm excited for Sunday. I may be going to Savers with an old best friend, and then perhaps watch Inception with some good people.

"Suffocate" by Julia Trotti (Copyright is owned by their respective owners - as does credit. Click-through links on images)

On my mind at this moment:
1. my camera and money involved
2. my timetable clash
3. the screw up of the student advisor

That is all for now, and I hope all that have started uni are having a relaxed time.

Last couple of days have been emotionally draining. I had an amazing day out with my dad on 15/07/10. It was just just him and me. We just drove around = high. I nearly bought a DSLR = high. Didn't buy it because of my dad = low. A couple of rows = low. But hey. I'm OK now.

How about you? University starts again in a week. I really hope I get into the tutorial session I want for Mondays.

Currently I am watching Criminal Minds home alone ... and just a couple of days ago I watched "When a Stranger Calls". I'm dreading ANYONE calling home.

010710 - James' Winter BBQ. Nachos, Pumpkin soup and then some.
030710 - Dinner @ the Gurney's. Modern Family.
050710 - 070710 - INVERLOCH: Harry, Paolo, Evan, James, Felicia, Nat, Emily. Spaghetti. Kings. 'Bartender'. Twister. Ahh the rest is history and captured in photos (:
080710 - Catch up lunch. Paper round in the morning. Massive LOL at Nathan's Steak dish and carrot jam. EW.
120710 - Out with E. Cop Out. LMAO "Turtle Head".
140710 - Day out with Cords (: Tired feet. Colette, Dotti, Jay Jays, Myer, Food, Valleygirl. Red Cardi.

Toy Story 3 & a pleasant BBQ

2010-07-01T23:56:00.000+10:00

Yesterday, after E's last exam we watched Toy Story 3. I'm not ashamed to admit that I NEARLY cried (teared up alot) near the end of the movie, behind my scratched 3D glasses. It was an AMAZING movie, and I recommend everyone to see it. IMDB rates votes of wisdom: 9.2/10 ! This is Bonnie by the way :D (left)

Today, we went to James' house for the second edition to his Summer BBQ (although now .. Winter BBQ...). It was fun and real chill. So good to catch up with people. The journey, the walking and training and then walking again, was just as fun as the destination - just because of the people :D (nawww so sweet. If you're thinking that. I take it back ... LOL JK JK). I can't be bothered writing too much and it's 11.44PM so here are some pictures I wanted to share for today.

"Being happy is a choice you make every morning. It’s not always the easiest choice, because sometimes you have to change your priorities around it and make decisions that you’d rather put off, but it is the most important choice. " - Kaitlyn Payne

"I would like to ... Read a good book. Go to the library. Cook a dish or bake something. ~~Visit Laura's new puppy~~. ~~Clean my room/rearrange it.~~ Buy some bids. Win an auction. ~~Do a paper round with my rents~~. Go shopping. Take some amazing pictures. Get back into sewing - sew something. Find a job - Get that job - Earn some money."

Remember that? That was an extract from a couple of blogs ago. Now I have a few crossed out. I will add a one more: To donate my unworn clothes/sell them.

In other news. I got my laptop 2 days ago ... (:

I'm actually way too lazy to post up my own photos of me unpacking it etc. It's gorgeous ... I'm naming him .. Dominic. Today I bought a notebook sleeve at officeworks, I'm surprised no one else stocks 13.3" notebook sleeves. Anyways, I'm excited.

I won't be blogging for a few days. I'll tell you why in my next blog :D

Can you figure his face out? He's kind of tilted his head.

And this is Harmony (:

(I know this looks like some sort of jail, but really she's a really happy little puppy, it's just so that she doesn't run around and chew everything in sight!)

AWWW SHNOOKEMS :D
Ok that's enough puppy love.

Yes, my 200th post was spent on my expression of how much I was entertained by The Big Bang Theory. Well happy 201st post anyways :D !

So today I have an exam - Food For a Healthy Planet - worst subject ever. NEVER. EVER DO IT. I hope I've mentioned Food For a Healthy Planet enough times so that I appear on the first google page when you search "Food For a Healthy Planet" - Just so that I can save the potential melU students looking to see if the subject is actually good. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. MELBOURNE UNI! Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. Food For a Healthy Planet. That should do it. Hopefully I save some innocent souls.

SO. If you have me on FB you'd know that my cheat sheet is an A4 double sided piece of paper typed in size 6 font and printed with 'borderless' printing. Unfortunately the start or the end of words are cut off at the side. Not cut off by the margins of Microsoft Word, no, by the actual physical piece of paper. Wow. The dedication I put in just to pass this silly subject. Sorry for the lack of a blog yesterday. I've been studying ... a fair bit. But that won't be an issue for the next 5 weeks of my life. Thank goodness. Maybe a little bit. Teeny tiny bit. Just a little bit.

So I've been sitting here for a good 2 minutes and I can't think of anything else to say, so I think this is the end of this entry ! I'll see YOU on the otherside.

So back to the point - I shall make this short and to the point. So my dad was cleaning and he found my mum's old external flash for her old Olympus film camera. So we fiddled around with it and eventually found where to put in the 2 AA batteries (because back then things were made to last and the battery compartment was so well hidden!) Long story short - IT STILL WORKS. Some pic lovin' !

It even has a little wire connecting the flash to the body of the camera. That's kinda cool.

SUNPAK. A little package of the sun.

IT WORKS :D

That last picture with the little orange light - the flash has to charge before every single picture taken with the flash. SO each time when the flash is ready, the little orange light turns on. It's a slow process - but I think it's kinda gold !

So it's going to be a girl, since Mitch is a boy - a very ano, metro boy. And they shall be siblings. The name should be suitable for the age of the camera and ... yes. (This may or may not be aimed at Paolo). Nothing gross like Berta or .. something. I'm thinking Molly? Scarlet? I'm terrible at this naming game.

So to my future DSLR: you'll have 2 siblings. NO WAIT 3. HOHOHO. I totally forgot to tell you. Or maybe I did but I didn't show you a pic perhaps? This is .. (un-named again, and no gender). So name and gender please :D SOME MORE PIC LOVIN' - Yes, I know, it's actually black and orange. Kinda like halloween. Don't deny it. It's pretty cool.

Lol factor = 10/10 ! The kinds of pictures it takes are shown below :D

SO. I found this hilarious (she's talking about a 2 year old girl): "She is so crazy. She also fell out of the grocery cart today. She was standing in it and just slipped or something and literally backflipped out of it and almost landed on her head. She landed HARD on her stomach. At least a dozen people saw and gasped or screamed. She just got huge eyes and said, “That was crazy!” " (sourced: HERE

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I hope my future kids do that. Not that I would purposefully put them in danger. But that would be hilarious !

I can tell you that yesterday was not a wasted day whatsoever, and I'm very proud of that. I cleaned up my room and I moved my stack of drawers into my closet. So whatever was in the space in my closet, that is no occupied by my drawers, now occupies space OUTSIDE my closet. It's like... my stuff never ends. Just a constant flow of crap. Wow. That sounded terrible. Never saying THAT again. Hahaha. Wow. My personality just does NOT fit this blog layout whatsoever. It's so pretty and classy. Me on the other hand ... lmao. ANYWAY. I DIGRESS. So .. I cleaned up my room, took out my closet doors and I'm gunna hang closet curtains. I'm so excited. Instead of boring you with text; "Here .. we .. GO !"

Good bye doors.

Halfway there.

YEAH. NEARLY THERE.

Let's put a nice bg.

And done.

I don't really like what I used the space for. But for now, this'll have to do.

Pretty sure this is a quote from a book.

2010-06-12T10:45:00.004+10:00

Not sure which one. But it was the most gorgeous quote I've ever read.

"When a whale dies, it falls through the ocean slowly, over the course of a day. All the other fish see it fall, like a giant statue, like a building, but slowly, slowly. I tried to reach down inside of it, toward the whale, the dying whale, and I whispered, It’s not your fault."

So I've come to realise (perhaps a little to late) that during the holiday's I tend to just sit here, and literally vege out. Then by the end of the holidays, I think about what I've done during the holidays and I regret that I wasted so much time. So I think I'll make a list ... ! Of SOME (because I'm bound to not think of all of them on the spot) of the things I'd like to do when I'm not out with friends, or doing something constructive.

I would like to ...

Read a good book. Go to the library. Cook a dish or bake something. Visit Laura's new puppy. Clean my room/rearrange it. Buy some bids. Win an auction. Do a paper round with my rents. Go shopping. Take some amazing pictures. Get back into sewing - sew something. Find a job - Get that job - Earn some money.

Just a few. (I'll add more later - not like you'd notice but hey)

I hope you like the new layout. I completely ditched the whole comments thing. I'll have you know I wasted precious constructive time by looking how to fix comments on xml templates. Makes me want to shoot myself. If you ever have anything to say about my blog ... I'm sure you know me well enough to message me or something like that. Anyone know where I can find a nice xml template? Not some dodgy one with a huge shoe on it saying, "girly" because those are lame. And I do not like those. Haha - well msn/email me your response I guess, if you're bothered.

So yesterday I read some of my old blogs. It was like reading a 10 year old type. It is the most horrific thing ever. But I mean, I think I'll keep it just for old times' sake. Now I know you're going to go into my archives. Dangit. Oh well, I'm not who I was then. Not that i've changed much. Have I changed much over this time that you've known me?

Ok well I'm going to eat breakfast and stare at my room to see what way I can rearrange my stuff. Ttyl, dears.
