hmmmm :)

tomorrow on my break at college i am going to go sit in the bookstore and catch up on my magazine reading... i think i will have an Italian Soda while I'm at it, hope I remember to do this... my heart will be better off for it :):):)

thankful...

off to the movies tonight with my mother to see a movie about passion, well it's about Ballet! I've noticed that when i type, just like my mum i tilt my head to the side... funny the things we pick up isn't it. had an okay day but have a feeling it will have a lovely finish. I'm thankful for the small things in life that make a HUGE difference. Like the beautiful pink and blue sky this morning, or the girls shoes i noticed getting of the train, they were vans, REALLY COOL... high top ones, or the beautiful rose that God pointed out to me yesterday so i captured it :)

little things make a big difference. love is all around us .....

the small things in life









those that are faithful with the little things shall be faithful with the big things
faithful with a smile, faithful with love
faithful with love, faithful with joy
faithful with joy, faithful with peace
faithful with peace, faithful with wisdom
fiathful with wisdom, blessed as a King.
we cannot please God without faith. what is faith to you?

beautiful peace

exams are finished... finally. wandered around the city today. got some cute little earrings. admired lots of beautful clothing but mostly just felt like it was way too BUSYY. :) i went to the library on my way home and borrowed some Cd's to add to my collection. I'm not sure yet whether i will like them or not.:) i got a judy garland one and paul potts ;) and several others that i can't remember the name. :)

i am off to warnambool on saturday morning, i feel bad cause my dad will be home all by himself from saturday until sunday and river will be all by himself too which i think is so sad. also when i go to america he will be all by himself. :(

i want to be more passionate

22 May

okay so i just woke up on this fine day and it is even more foggy than the day before. it is like a winter wonderland. i have been sleeping up stairs so when i wake up i have a good view out the window. i am loving it so much.... for all those countries that are enjoying fog right now aswell like tasmania and new zealand, lucky you....

side note : we are praying that we will go to Scotland for my cousins wedding and then on to America for the birth of my brothers second baby ;)

have a WONDERFUL day.. hope the fog sits on us for a long time.

okay quick story, when i was younger i went away with some of my friends up to a bed and breackfast that my friends grandparents owned, up in the Otway Mountains and up there is amazing amazing fog and so green and beautiful. it was such a fun time, we laughed, made eachother cry.. thats another story, broke a window, saw a seal.... LOVED IT!

foggy mornings

W h i t e F o g

Heaven-invading hills are drowned
In wide moving waves of mist,
Phlox before my door are wound
In dripping wreaths of amethyst.
Ten feet away the solid earth
Changes into melting cloud,
There is a hush of pain and mirth,
No bird has heart to speak aloud.
Here in a world without a sky,
Without the ground, without the sea,
The one unchanging thing is I,
Myself remains to comfort me.

by Sarah Teasdale








i woke up this morning to a thick layer of fog covering the trees.
it was so beautiful and romantic and i could have just sat and watch it all day,
well i guess i kinda did. i have a cold. my first cold in years and so here i am
with my big hankerchief, bowl of soup, watching the sound of music and blogging.
makes for a perfect day i suppose.

teaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

the smell, so delicate, so fresh
it unwinds and frees
you feel the mind relax
the body rests
the spirit rejuvinates
you feel free
have a cup
of jasmine tea...

today...

today my friend and i went into the city and hired bikes for free. they are european bikes and they are red and they gave us these big black helemts to wear! so trendy! it was such a great thing to do, we were able to explore our city in a new way and what a better way to do it when the sky is blue, the sun is shining, the air is crisp and you're in good company.

love it!

procrastination...

okay, did i mention that i am a procrastinator. what is it with me and procrastination. it is 11:30 and i still ahven't started my assignment, i have done everything else i can think of except start my assignment that i s due on Friday and it is Tuesday today. hmmm. Why is it that I procrastinate so much, i wish i knew that answer to that.... okay well i will let you know how i am going with my assignment later.

i just have to say, i think it's funny that i am writting these blogs as if someone is reading them... cause i have just become a blogger and i don't have anyone else on my page.... so far i am doing this for my own enjoyment...

love it! :)

jcrew excellence yet again...




tuesday morning sunshine....


Well today is a beautiful day! the sun is shining and i am going to have a great day. I have to say that my day on Sunday was great. My study was very productive. I watch some Jamie Oliver, I made vegetable soup and plum crumble. I met up with a friend of my grandmothers down at the local store and it was lovely to chat with her. Yesterday, Monday, i had school and I found out that i got 78% on my Biochemistry exam which i was stoked about and then after that class i had my Biology exam so hopefully next week I will find out what i got in that. i feel like i did good. i worked very hard to study for it, so it better have paid off ;). oh and one quick note, i felt like while i was in the exam God kept reminding me of things that i should write down, or showing me what they were really asking in the question and it was really great, felt like team work...
so the picture above is from a Jcrew magazine and this girl i think would have to be my favorite Jcrew model. i think she is really beautiful and i love the styles that they give her..

my photography...

this shot above of Holly in the leaves would have to be one of my favorites. i just love the pose, the lighting and the color.



this photo above was in this amazing loft that i love and it happens to be one of my fav parts of this whole place and the public aren't allowed up there... but the stairs were there and no one was around and so we snuck up... glad we did.. love this shot!

I had the pleasure of photograping the beautiful Holly and this gorgeous place near where i live.. here are some of my shots...


it was such a great day. it was really hot and i had heaps of study to do but doing this photography session was way more fun.
Loved every minute of it, can't wait to do it again...

the wind brings it,
the rain shows us it's way,
sometimes we just need to let go
and let God take us."

breakfast...

something that should be simple and easy enough is having some breakfast every morning. well we had some left over pancake mixture from the night before so i decided that i would cook up some pancakes for breakfast and the mixture had gotten abit too thick and so i add some milk and put the lid on and left it for a bit. i came back to it about 20 minutes later and was going to give it a good shake up and so with a forceful shake of the arm i thrust pancake mixture all over the kitchen because the lid flew off as i shook it. i ended up covered in it and so did the kitchen and even my dog. second later my dog was in the kitchen licking everything he could. he thought it was great, i thought it was disgusting but funny and slightly annoying. so i cleaned everything up, including myself and made some pancakes with the remainder of mixture that was still safe in the container and low an behold it wasn't even that great and i kinda burnt some of them..... next time i might just skip breakfast all together :):) good start to the day i'll say
in a little over an hour i have a friend coming over for a massage :) and then i need to get back to my studying. it seems that my brain has decided that it wants no more information put into it and everytime i try to study today and yesterday it says, "NO MORE INFORMATION" i won;t take anymore... so i need to get my brain to co-operate...
my nan is coming over tonight for tea. she is the greatest nan this world has ever seenn ... i love her

after dinner mints...

so i made dinner and it was a flop.  no good at all. it tasted awful and i don't often say that about my cooking.  now i just want something yummy for dessert..hmmm what to have? i feel like crepes with lemon and sugar, or lemon meringue pie.... that would be  great

17/04/2009

Can you believe that it is already 2009. i know kinda a common statement, but I am shocked! where did the last 5 year of my life go. well i am making dinner tonight. i have had the crockpot going all day and i am making mexican with the meat that i have been cooking. it is really tender and yum!

i have studied all day today.. well actually that isn't true, i have studied all week and today i didn't go so well with my study. i have an exam on monday for biology and i am tired of studying but i have had a good day. it felt productive, even if not as productive as i would have liked it to be. i called a lady where i live today about a job i thought she was going to give me and it turns out she gave it to someone else.. so bummed,

i need to exercise more!!! if i write it here it might constantly remind..



k.. off to make dinner i am hungry

new

i am new to this whole blogging thing but I love to write so i don't know why i haven't done this before. i am a girl that lives in a country far far away, i live in Australia. it's a beautiful place to live.

i dream of going to France one day. i find it so romantic and beautiful and wonderful... not that i have ever been there, just the idea of it and something about it seems to draw me in. i wonder what i will find there when i visit one day. i'm sure it will be an adventure.



i look forward to where this blog might take me, = simply a place where i can come and write



till then...
