an adventure ahead. the adventure of life.

Today, is a brand new day. The past is the past, and I can start a fresh. Stay positive, be myself and live the life God has created for me. This is what I should say to myself, every-time i have a bad day, have my doubts on life and myself, and start becoming someone that I'm not. Being yourself is the most important aspect of your life. Its who you hang around, the way you act to different people and different situations, and the way you show love, that creates who you are to those around you. Some people are two faced, in situations like school and church, and I admit, I have gone there in the past, but it got me no where. Recently I have learnt this year that being yourself to everyone, actually gets you somewhere. Though this year so far has been hard on finding out who I really am, its been an experience. I've learnt who my true and good friends are, become prone to the fact; that I am who I am. God has created me, and grown me in many ways. To use me in ways that are un-known so far, but are yet to be discovered, in this great big world. I often think of the future. It has been brought up a number of times this year. What ill be doing next year.. If ill go to uni.. what i will study, if ill get a job..etc etc. There are so many opportunities. And I'm yet to choose which direction the next chapter of my life will take. For now I'm going to be myself, try and get the chapter of my life now completed (year 12). And then take my next steps in life. Who knows where I will go, or if I will stay. Guess ill have to wait and see... I can only follow Gods plan, hope and pray that my future will be an adventure, and get sucked into the ride of life.

story of us.

Well, Taylor Swift has some wise lyrics. Yes, before you get to caught up, I do like Taylor Swift. So if you would like to stop reading, you are most welcome to, as i won't know who reads this, or if anyone will actually read this.
Well taylor swift writes songs about her life, mostly boys in general. She seems to have a lot of storeys going on in her life, involving different situations and boys all together.
Well we are all made to want someone right? or made for someone..
Well Taylor swift sure goes through her guys. And writes amazing songs out of them. haha Well i like her song "story of us". Im not going to say all the lyrics and write everything about the song, but i like the story that comes with it. Basically i like the fact, that we all have a story, a different story. Either way we are going to have a story. " Well, we all see couples, all time time.. and they all have a story. I'm not actually sure if i like this song because of the lyrics or the melody. maybe both... the more you listen to it, the better it gets. We all have a story with someone, if it hasn't begun yet, its still to come. If it ends, it was still a story, and if it lasts its a fairytale. :)

my week.

Well, i have had the urge to blog for a while now. not knowing what to blog about, I have put it off. Also my home computer kinda sucks, so i use the mac computers at school, so im really just going to blabber on about my day.
This year in unit 4 we are reading Obamas "autobiography". so I was sitting in the library, and as i finished reading the introduction to his book, (which is insanely hard to get into, due to his proper language), one of the year 12 english teachers comes up and starts telling me that he ( obama) is such a powerful man, that what he does is going to impact us, and that the book is amazing, and that she's all happy and glad we are studying it. Well my opinion is completely different this far along. so far, its the most boring book i've ever read. though i haven't read many so i won't judge it too much. But what fascinated me was that she spoke as if this guy was her idol. But i won't go on about that.
Studio Art now, interesting lesson. We find ourselves listing to our teacher, and then all of a sudden she gets a hot flush and tells us and gives us facts that she's going through menopause, lovely. Gotta love a teacher like that. Unit 4 work, she's making this part of the year sound like we need to stay up and have all nighters, she doesn't care, as long as we put in 100%. Doesn't she understand that we have other subjects to focus on as well, so that we can pass? some people I tell you! But she's a lovely person.. though jade and i have suspicions that she's a lesbo.. well thats box hill senior for you. great school. great school.
Well its the holidays in 2 weeks, shouldn't complain too much.. 2 weeks woohoo
Normally in summer I would say, "i love the cold weather" as its too hot in summer. And then it comes to winter, and its unbearably cold... so cold, that I would now rather summer. Of course.
And tonight well tonight, miss Jordan Dewitt is coming around, and we shall be having a wonderfully made dinner from safeway.
I'm blessed with my friends in my life. Though it can be hard to treat all of the equally, I do try. It can be hard in year 12 to find the time, so when i do, I just make the most of it. This week my lesson has been, "you can't trust anyone" you can just have faith in people, and hope for the best. If the friendship is good, forgiveness is always going to be the answer to problems, you have to smile and get over little things, as one bad time isn't worth losing all the good ones. Jade has been an angel sent from heaven this year, as i needed a friend, and we are like peas in a pod. I know that even moving to this school was worth it because i made an amazing friend, and a friendship that will hopefully last a lifetime.
well, studio is almost over, jade is now reading what the teacher  was reading because the teacher doesn't "have a voice" any more. mostly because the teacher can't be bothered reading out loud to the class anymore. once again. great school. great school. all i can say is "on ya jade!"
well that leaves me to conclusion, one conclusion that i don't have. sooo BYE :)

This photograph, I love. I took this while camping in 2008. Yes, it was a while ago (and only on the 5 megapixel camera i had back then). Though it was a while ago, it reminds me of camping. I'll tell you the story about how this photo, kind of got me into photography and why i love and enjoy it so much today.. where it all kinda began.
It was a cold, frosty morning. I was camping with my two cousins Emma and Zoe (who were 5 at the time), and their dad, my uncle Geoff and two other families. Being me while camping, I woke up early, and decided to go for a walk. We were camping on the river, the sun hadn't come up yet, as it was about 5 in the morning. Along the river, the fog was coming off the flowing water. The birds were singing and it was quiet with everyone still all asleep in their tents. I thought the fog on the river looked amazing, so i started taking photographs. Little did I know the sun was about to come up. As the sun rose; it was beautiful. Everything that I thought already looked incredible, became 10 times better. The sun over the hills were reflecting along the river, through the fog, and among the trees... It was a sight i would never forget, and an experience I will forever imagine and remember. As the sun was shining i wanted to take as many photographs as I could, I kept trying to snap as many as I could. As I came over to a tree on the side of the water, I noticed a spider web, with the morning sun shining, it looked incredible. Just as i was walking away, this spider came out, and started to gather his web. It was the first time i appreciated spiders, as it was such a sight.
And thats how I found my love of photography. By camping, the sun, and the little things in life that can be seen as incredible if you let yourself see them as incredible.
So this brings me to camping this weekend, SYG! I cannot wait to see if I can get some great shots, have an amazing time, and enjoy the experience I'm sure I will never forget!

this week.

well my week is going swell.
I haven't been doing all that much, just school, catching up on homework, english essay and health work. got my folio back, didn't get the mark i wanted. but thats ok... i think i can improve my mark. i hope.
today i had the urge to listen to Justin Bieber after watching the videos from his concert, so I'm listening to him right now. brings back some good memories with Tab.
Also this week on the agenda.. SYG (state youth games). after working out that i have a 5 day weekend, i decided why not spend 3 days in the cold, wet, not to mention muddy, grounds of state youth games, with a whole bunch of people. I was gonna road trip to sydney for a day with jadey, but that didn't work out... sooo my plan is now SYG. i've never been before so im looking forward to it, i bought myself a beanie and gloves this morning, and a torch. officially prepared for this weekend.. well lets hope i wont be too cold. camping in the middle of winter.. I'm sure it will be fun, as i will have my trusty friend Tabitha there :)
I've done work for this week, so i won't be working till next monday night, thank goodness, i tell ya what i'm officially sick of working at safeway. It gets me money, but other then that, it sucks. at least i have a job right?

this year has been harder then I thought, as this school has much harder and higher standards, as i didn't exactly work at all last ear and was already almost failing, so this year i have been working my butt off so to speak. And its also hard settling into a new school. But i think I'm getting used to it all now, and its half way. Made some amazing friends, Jade and Lauren, two of the most amazing people I've ever met. Its defiantly a God thing that I became friends with them.

And yes, that is my life at the moment. gooodbye

hi is all i can say.

well, I am FINALLY blogging.  I haven't blogged in a while due to silly "technical difficulties"of the world wide web. In some sense it was good, as I haven't had the time to, due to many reasons.
It has been a very long couple of weeks, and I'm sure it wasn't just for me, but for all those other year 12's! There was just a lot to get through. Folio's, plenty of sacs, and work. But now....I'm officially half way through year 12! Its pretty exciting that I'm passing this year, and actually keeping on track, let alone surviving it all. Most of me is glad its almost over, with 14 teaching weeks left, just not looking forward to the next 3 months. I won't have to put up with school for the rest of my life and being able to do 'whatever' after i finish this year.
 But theres part of me that doesn't want it to end. As I think more about it, what am I going to be doing next year? I actually have no idea where i am going to be. Though i love to dream big, I know thats not going to happen straight away. A lot of people already know what direction they want to go, weather it be going to UNI, getting a degree, studying or working and starting an occupation. I just have no idea.
I know my passion, I know what I enjoy, its just getting that started and finding the thing you need to start growing that. Its like a seed.. It needs water to grow.
I'm sure I will figure it all out soon enough as its just around the corner, its just the stress now of the future, I feel like my journey is going to start soon, yet i have no idea what its going to hold. If it will hold the things that I want, or not at all? well its probably not what you want to be reading right now. As my brain is ticking and I'm in art.
We are getting our Folio's back today, with the mark! just a bit nerves, as i have worked my ass of all year, and its come down to this.
In conclusion my brain is ticking... I know I'm in good hands with the big man up stairs. at least I have a brain though, just wish that conscience of mine wouldn't muck around so much, gets me every time!
peace out.
