i feel inadequte beyond words

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.


-Marianne Williamson

let's go fungi, let's go!

wow three years has passed.

and just like that, the years blow by us as if it were just a passing gust of wind.

The Yellow Leaf - Isaac Ho

Summer's fading,
A chilling wind starts to blow.
As leaves start to fall,
So do friends come and go.

Trees grow proud,
As they boast crowns of gold.
But when that last leaf falls,
The trees shiver in cold.

You're like that last leaf,
So bright and full of cheer,
As time goes on,
We'll all miss you dear.

A youthful cheer's lost,
We all heave a sigh.
But we'll always remember,
The time you said "Goodbye".

now here we are, all those years later,

i miss you all.

top designs

now i know. this is what i want to do for the rest of my life... create things, imagine things, colour things, draw things, MAC things.

designers are such weird people with strange ideas yet i want to be one of them.

"No one ever creates anything original" said the industrial designer who lectured us yesterday at Melbourne museum. it's true, everything that is being done has been done before. 

the works were incredible, with each individual folio representing hours and hours of work, tears, and mini triumphs. the type no one knows about except they themselves. my favourite was the girl who designed undies and the guy who designed pegs.. seriously awesome marketing and designs.

the rest of the day didnt really turn out as planned. shopping with the girls got a bit boring after a while so everyone left early with me at the city for an extra 45 minutes waiting to catch the same train as my mum. so, i found a vintage shop.. (btw, who gets the authority to call something 'vintage' and not just 'secondhand'? because the stuff in there should be worth a 1/10 of the price!) and then i went to fed square and listened to a bit of jazz (as its the melbourne international jazz festival atm.) it was quite nice.

today was open day at school, it was great! i always love open days.
