just for you

"And here I go,

Letting go

Just another,

let you go

I never thought I could be like this

I wanna spend every moment here with you

You've shown me a place I've seen but never knew

So here I am Here I am

Here I am

Here I am

Just for you" - William Tell, Just For You

"never forget me, cos if i thought you would, i'd never let you go.." - Winnie the pooh.

i miss you.

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.

unexpectedly eventful week

this week wasnt meant to be this way, but now that it has turned out so, i must blog. so many things have and are happening this week in terms of events that i am so dead tired, but then it feels as if not much has changed. anyway, here's a quick update/summary.

1. the territory

my school is taking two missions trips open to year 11s (next year's year 12s). one in january to cambodia and one in september to the northern territory. i cannot afford the one to cambodia no matter how much i would LOVE to (mainly cos it costs $3,500), so i may be going to the NT in september as that trip is only $750. however, i promised my parents i'd go halves. so, if over the holidays there is work available - even just babysitting/cleaning houses, i'm ready for action =D - oh and if anyone wants to donate, that is welcome too !

2. pivot

the pivot competition entry closes tomorrow. my piece is done (i have to admit not my favourite or the best of my work, but jarrad convinced me i 'might as well' since the school is paying for everything) and handed in. so, it's in, we'll see how it all pans out! opening night is on the 14th of May at "Red Earth Gallery, Mooroolbark Community Centre", please come and check it out!

3. aths day

me and kathryn ran (and walked) the 1500 meters in rain and hail and we were sooo wet by the end of it. but, it was fun and a great experience and we spent most of the freezing tuesday under sally's 'curry scarf' (named so as it smelt of curry). 

4. steamboat algae

yes we had steamboat at youth cell - i know you're all jealous XD

it was great, a great discussion and study, and great company. i think God has really put a great group together this year for each of us to grow. jarrad and dora came along and that was all good fun. 

5. tea o' clock live

yes jarrad and i (and dora) had tea o' clock for the first time in real life (not over MSN), and it was fabulous! mum even gave us strawberries :)

6. VCD excursion

tomorrow is the VCD excursion at melbourne museum to see the Top Designs exhibition and hear pro designers lecture. i'm really excited especially as i really want to get into the design field when i'm older. we get dismissed at 1 o' clock from the museum so we may head into the CBD for some hardcore city shopping (GLUE has 70% off apparently) or just catch a movie.

7. open day

is on saturday, so school music life is very busy ATM. in fact i've had so many rehearsals this week its not even funny.

8. studies

yes it seems i doing well in everything but METHODS. lets not go there.

9. visitors

we've had visitors for 3 weeks straight (3 different sets) and all i want is my room, my bed, my desk, my routine!

i think that's it for now.

we got a new computer and so all my files are being loaded on. i hope i dnt lose anything and i hope that everything is set just the way i like it ASAP!
