<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">22.04.12<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The excitement is
finally creeping back into my consciousness. Im learning a little ritual I have
before travel. Of course while its still in the distance its all very exciting,
then as d-day draws nearer a more mundane me comes to light. One which forces most
thoughts from my mind before anxiety takes over. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Now I’m on a rather
bumpy flight to Singapore. My darling Kelly will no longer be joining me at the
airport and my flight is 4 hours longer then I realized, I got a shallow 2
hours sleep last night at the most and well, I’m flying with Jetstar…need I say
more? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">BUT the excitement of
the people I will meet who will change my life. The people who will meet me and
in turn have their lives altered. The idea that every single face I see will be
a new one with a new opportunity. Around every corner a new adventure. That is
keeping me going. Oh yes the excitement is back! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Later… (into the 23<sup>rd</sup>)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am now 12 hours in
to my stop-over after an 11 hour flight to Singapore. The bright orange sunset
that reflected onto the ocean spotted with islands and boats as we flew in last
night was beautiful! As we neared the land the matching red rooved houses and
tall white sky rises shot up in every direction as far as the eye could see. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My new friend from the
plane and I said our goodbyes and wished each other luck. I never even found
out her name, but she had become my little Indonesian grandmother temporarily.
I then entered the glass maze of Singapore airport. A lovely taxi driver
battled away at my bags and burnt the wrap off with his lighter since the only
knife we could source was inside the encased bag. After I proceeded to set
about finding my bearings, some good food and internet but the glass boxes had
me at a loss. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I could see where I
wanted to go but getting there was another issue. I was starting to get a wee
bit frustrated with all the dead ends. After doing my third lap my little
friend came bustling out of a fancy Chinese restaurant embracing me, taking my
hand and gushing that I must come in to meet her family for dinner. The idea of
today’s failed budget flew across my mind before I agreed. How could I turn down
such an offer? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We sat at a large spinning
wooden table and her son-in-law picked and ordered in Chinese for a confused me.
Now anyone who knows me, knows picking food for me to eat is not an easy feat.
I fumbled with my chopsticks chasing food around my plate trying to act like I
knew what I was doing. The food I did actually get in my mouth was pretty
amazing! And dairy free! Or so I was told after I insistently badgered them
about every form of dairy that could be in each dish the put in front of me.
Delicious long bean omelette with preserved turnip and no milk or cheese!
Stewed peanuts and some kind of steamed greens mixture with a garlic, ginger
and tofu sauce, which was not only amazing but I had to make a mental note to
tell the grange crew how many greens I had just digested. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After goodbyes, again,
I set about finding a posie as far away from the “no sleeping” sign as I could
find. After about two hours of dropping in and out of sleep on a horrendous
bench in a cold and empty viewing room I found a pal and we set up camp on the
tile floor instead, this time I was tired enough to crash for longer, after muttering
crap to Chad from Phoenix Arizona (I thought that was quite classic) for a few
hours, to drift off into an unsettled snooze. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Later Chad jumped on
his flight. Since then I have failed to locate the airport pool and slept a
little more instead, got lost in the airports cactus garden, treated myself to
some stupidly fancy spa for a shower (spoilt huh!) and I have about 9 more
hours until I touch down in Bangkok. I really can’t wait to hit those streets
with my camera. x</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Of course this idea immediately appealed to me, the idea of been more sustainable, resourceful and creative ( plus an excuse to raid every op shop I see) is always one I am open to. I decided, hesitantly given my shopping addictions, to make the October pledge... Now I would love to say as of the 8th of October I have been sober of waste shopping but Im totally useless. The very next day ( the 1st) at work I came to the realization that I needed some new mascara and a bunch of birthday presents that month. After much discussion on how I could bend the rules and technicalities of the pledge I decided I was well and truly defeating the purpose. Thus resulting in a spending binge for the next week. And here we are. It seems by, just the thought, of depriving myself of new treats a spiral of cravings and "oh but I need's" begun. But there is a point- the justification and thought process...</div><div style="text-align: center;">The justification branched from the idea that I do love vintage and second hand pieces regardless of the month and more often then not choose this way of purchase. I almost never biff old items and almost too regularly donate half of my belongings to the sallies. I would in fact like to claim an over all status of "not so wasteful in general life". </div><div style="text-align: center;">The thought process was that this small and totally unsuccessful pledge made me all to aware of how bad my retail therapy has become, proof that when you try to deprive yourself of something, such as chocolate, you want it 110% more and that my self-control is quite potentially at an all time low. </div><div style="text-align: center;">In conclusion I decided to share this ramble with you just incase you think you are any better then me and want to try this, because although I openly admit I could never do it, I totally support it and think you should man up. haha. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And because I don't have a picture to share with you right now Im going to share this instead purely because it seems to be a nice little mantra I like to repeat each day...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The oh so talented Olivia over at <a href="http://lilysmakebelieve.blogspot.com/">Lilysmakebelieve</a> celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago with a backyard screening of the old school movie Scream (sad to say I was still on the edge of my seat/blanket a couple of times). But this wasn't your average sheet on the wall with a projector (still awesome) outdoor movie, I should have known better of such a creative critter. Instead the backyard doubled as the sweetest cosiest cinema I have ever been to with amazing home baked treats! Needless to say I couldn't have been happier I brought my camera in tow...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I have also recently been on the hunt for a pair just like them in a cute peachy colour so today I decided maybe its time to try my hand at dying clothes. After a few google hits I found this tutorial and suddenly strawberry pants sound so much fun! Such a great idea i cant wait to try it......and eat some strawberries too, come on summer!<br />

Its, although simplistic, style is something I can relate to so strongly for so many reasons. Not only am I born and bred from one hell of a house stalking family, but my space is so very important to me. No matter where I am in the world, how far or close to home, having my crap ( that is worth nothing to most) gives me comfort I can not even begin to explain. The simple and subtle photography is also my favourite! Telling its own little story without even trying. Perfect! Hope you like it too! xxx Happy weekend! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; word-spacing: 1px;"><br />

I recently looked it up and since can not stop reading it. I have found it not only gives me peace in many relationships in my past and future but in a lot of other areas of my life too. </div><div style="text-align: center;">There's something so refreshing about meeting people and then accepting your fate and letting them go. It makes me want to be so mindful of everyone I meet for how ever short or long I know them for, not only the people who help me. It also releases a little anguish I have on my current friendships. I have such amazing friends ALL over the country and world, some I have known a very short time and wish so badly I could have had more time with, and some I have known for a long time. I fear I will not see them again or as much as I would like and its a really unsettling feeling for me. Growing or been forced apart for what ever reason. This poem gives me a little faith to let some people go and just be thankful that they came at all. Anyway I thought since I seem to be firing it around a few pals, in the hope they will find comfort in some way that relates to them too, I should just share it with everyone and anyone here....</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

All day long its all I can dream about, long summer days in the dusty streets of Granada, meadows in Tuscany, shopping in London, pizza ( I have an unhealthy obsession for pizza) in Barcelona, discovering the cobbled paths and allies in Amsterdam, underground drama skits in Argentina, backpacking through Cambodia and deserted beaches in Zakynthos</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #211922;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. I could go on and on all day, oh the places I want to see. My best friend Vickie and I have dreamt for so many years the idea of tripping around europe with way too much time, a backpack and camera. Not having a clue of all the things we "should" be doing. Museums, history, tours aren't really us, our travels seem to consist more of befriending locals, dining in exquisite places, walking around with no map until our feet bleed and we are lost as we can be and discovering trinkets off the beaten track, usually by mistake. Maybe its the thick of winter starting to get to me but I really could dream, plan, wish, aim, research and talk about travel allllllll dayyyyyyyy looonnnnggggggg right now!

When i was a little critter spring was my favourite season of the year cause it meant i got my pet lamb for the year and we could play with calves down the farm all day. seriously how cute are calves!!?? I need to make friends with a farmer nearby so i can go and give them cuddles all day again! Anyway i digress, for some reason i cant stop thinking about adorable little lambies and how cute they are shaking their tails when you bottle feed them. So in my weird and bored mood i googled them....<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sadly this Sunday my camera was dead with no charger nearby BUT I did have a lovely day in the very beautiful Waihi Beach with my friend Mel. It was a beautiful sunny day where t's and walks down the beach were essentials- could almost smell summer in the air- I wish! Luckily my camera was alive and well for saturday though. I spent the morning (early frosty frosty morning) with my darling friend Anna. I took her on a cheesy little birthday picnic in the gardens with cupcakes and hot cups of tea....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It is all vegetarian cuisine and will quite seriously melt your heart. I know vickie and I couldn't wipe the silly smilies off our faces the entire breakfast as we marveled the adorable service (blankets and hot water bottles are given to the people outside on colder days, friendly chit chat from sweet staff and only the very best independent magazines keep your dining interesting), creative crafts and decor and amazing food. The cafe also pride themselves on art and music entertainment nights and expo's and claim to be a place to come hangout anytime and make your selves at home. Something thats not at all hard to do, and with it open late nights wednesday-sunday its easy to nestle in and call it your own! They welcome new music, crafts or art exhibitionists to pop in and show their skills and are conscientious as ever about their light carbon footprint and fair trade. All round a perfect little hideaway and cafe experience that comes </div><div style="text-align: center;">Seriously Highly Recommended! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I couldnt possibly get them all out on paper.... But if your like me, maybe you will simply understand the feeling you get when you see a photo you like. it could be a million or one reason of why you like it, but for some reason, that one photo by someone you know, somewhere you like or dislike, or someone you have never known, will never know, in a place you don't know. It doesn't matter. It makes you feel something so strongly. i like it.<br />
<br />
Lately i have been enjoying flicking through the blog<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.lovemoreblog.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">LoveMore</span></span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"> </span></span>at so many pictures and they make me smile and feel all sorts of things at once. So i thought i would share a few with you. its like a get happy quick exercise...<br />
My captions were my immediate feeling of why i love these pictures.<br />

Personally I have always preferred darker haired people. Mainly because I feel as though it balances an outfit better since I don't like bright colours. Generally meaning my wardrobe consist of pastel or earthy colors and black. It always bugs me when I have a nice outfit on that I've perfectly colour co-ordinated and then bam up top all white and blonde. I also turn green with envy every time I see some babe rocking red lippy better then me because she has wicked dark hair making it more classic then trash. BUT every time I get this little seed of thought stuck in my head I wimp out purely from flashbacks of when I did take the plunge. It wasn't planned, it wasn't pretty, it wasn't a good color or cut and its fair to say I looked like crap. And of course it took forever to get my blonde locks back! Not to mention the damage to my wallet and hair.<br />
<br />
This time the thought comes from the pure expense of maintaing a nice blonde and the departure abroad of my best pal and the best hair dresser in the world Casey. This has left me with failed attempts at random hairdressers since. So after OBSESSING at work all afternoon and trying to take pictures with workmates hair hanging over my own head I decided to use a higher power to see what I should do = Facebook. And by the time I got home from work I was overwhelmed with yes yes yes from fellow friends. So the mission is on......brown or not?<br />

I didn't have any plans this weekend and my bank account was looking equally as empty but once again its Sunday evening and I'm finding myself smiling at my lovely weekend!<br />
<br />
One huge exciting thing that happened was getting a new camera so finally I'm back in action, be prepared to be bombarded with a story board of my entire life for the next few months at least.<br />
<br />
Friday night was spent with a few drinks in an old school artsy drama room watching stand up comedy. Saturday brought a little op shopping and home made sushi sesh and then today after clambering out of bed feeling a little seedy I had, well, a rather awful brunch at a cute looking place in Parnell (don't be fooled, the change in ownership was a massive killer and triggered a brutal hangover) with my good pal Rach...<br />

Then after a short power nap my flat mate and friend dragged me back out of bed to visit a friend at a craft market up the road ( which I will posting more about soon). We left there feeling full of inspiration so hit up a few fabric shops on the way home for yummy tea and brainstorming. Tonight we headed out to Mission Bay for an early picnic dinner of fish and chips on the beach side, pity it was freezing, but blankets by the beachside only made it all the more romantic...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

As a bit of a laugh I tried on a pair of full length leathers attempting to be as cool as Alexa Chung and, to mine and my friend Vickies surprise, fell in love! So even though I was using the last of my rent money for a highly un-necessary item they couldn't be left behind!!! I came home and did a little stalking of some of the most beautifully dressed people online to sus the best way to wear them and thought it was worth sharing just in case you wanted to give it a go too xxx<br />

Plus this white shirt....don't let it fool you, it might look like a 50c white shirt from my favorite op shop (and it is) but its also one of my most warn items at the moment- its amazing how many ways you can wear and love this shirt! This particular outfit is my wannabe twentysevennames gettup haha yes laugh thats ridiculous as is the photo (dam broken camera) but im so in love i just had to share..... xxx<br />
