Birth day.

I love doing people's birthday photos. 

Who Am I?

I had English with Moller today and he asked the class this question to answer individually.

Who am I?

Everyone started writing while I just stared blankly around the room. I seriously didn't know what to write. After 2 mins, I just kept my head down and wrote whatever, hoping I won't have to say anything out to the class. When I finished, I read over it and most of my sentences were about me wanting to travel around the world and photographing or just me photographing in my spare time. I was surprised, I didn't think I would write about it that much but that's when it really hit me.
I want to be a photographer. It's my dream and that's all I ever think about. For so long I've been puzzled and still undecided but I think I made up my mind. Everyone is born with talent and mine is photography so why not do it everyday as a job? I don't want to be old and be thinking, 'What if?' Life's not perfect and it's short. If I make a mistake then at least it's the most fun mistake I'll make.

You can't just learn a talent. You are born with it within you.

The truth behind the cage bird that sings.

^My title is from this poem we briefly studied in Peak English. It doesn't have relevance to this post except the fact that it's about cages & birds. Months ago when I was doing Pharmacy as work experience in Circular Quay, I was walking around mindlessly; not knowing where I was even headed. But after a 10 minute walk or so, I came across this little alleyway. I was amazed. I've never seen anything like it. I wish I had my camera that time but who knew I would come across this.
Above me were hundreds of bird cages of different shapes & sizes. It was simple but there was so much & it overwhelmed. It was simple & that's why I love it so much. At that moment, I knew to bring my camera the next day to take black & white photos from different view points but I never found that place again..probably because I srsly didn't know where I was walking. It was an opportunity that I wanted to take so badly. Till this day I still have the desire to walk wherever to find that alleyway. That all changed. The other day I was scrolling through Tumblr & found this photo.

I clicked through to the Flickr account & read through the comments & finally found where it was. Angel Place, surrounded by King, George, Hunter & Pitt street. Apparently there's also the sweet sound of chirping, which complements the bird cages. I showed my dad & he said he's gonna check it out & take some photographs because it is simply beautiful.

I guess you stumble along the most beautiful things unexpectedly. Like like/love, priceless memories & this. 

So don't be so ignorant. 

The start of something new; Senior Year

^ HSM reference lol.
First days of school are really exciting up to the point when you finished reading your timetable. Everyone looked so good in their senior uniform! Sophistication +1 but immaturity remains the same :L The day was hot and seemed like it dragged on. There were moments throughout the day where I really missed my slut. Usually when a slut joke was pulled, or something a dirty minded person would laugh to came up, we would turn towards each other & just laugh. I just really miss her. Anyway my day wasn't exciting, I just really like my English class table. There's something that we got asked in English with Moller today but I'll leave that till later when it's complete in my head..if you get me. This blog took me like 2 hours to type up (idk why) & now I'm all smiley & silly and I feel weird LOL. Okay bye!

The first & last day.

For most Year 11s, today was their first day however fortunately for us, today was our final day of the holidays. It was so last minute but Emily called up in the morning & asked if I could come over. Met up with Mable on the bus & arrived at Emily's. After a while, Laura surprised us with presents! I'm entirely in love with it. Wooden black framed with a picturesque photograph of the sunset in Santorini, Greece. My dream destination right up on my wall. THANK YOU SO MUCH LAURA! (L)
Emily's dad chopped up different fruits for us & served it with vanilla ice cream, which was simple but sooo damn nice. We started watching cinnamon challenges & rewatched episodes of 2 Broke Girls. Laura & Emily helped dye me & Mable's hair this blueberry colour & then went to buy icecream.
Even though it was really hot today, it was really relaxed & kinda the perfect way to end Summer holidays.

The baby in the first Harry Potter movie, is Albus Severus in HP7.

^I think that will be the last fun fact since I really cbb looking up interesting facts anymore.
I played Tennis for the first time today & I was learning the basics; stepping, how to hit the ball, etc. It was alright, just wanted to practice more but unexpectedly, it was very short. It took me a couple of times to actually hit the ball over the net but I eventually did well. Those tennis players make it look so easy!

I really want a puppy pug when I grow up. Cute puppies are cute. 

Shopping Therapy.

After a wonderful day yesterday, my good day streak continues as I decided to skip English tutor today & go to the city with my family. I regret nothing. I had such an amazing time shopping, sightseeing, get mind boggled & overwhelmed by everything. I've been feeling really happy and I hope this continues for as long as possible. So after shopping with my mum & my sisters at the HP exhibition, we went to The Rocks market. The drive there was breath taking. Well for me it was. There was at least 5 weddings taking place near the Rocks, with photographers all around & fancy cars striped with pure white ribbon. There was one newlywed that stood out to me. It was an Indian groom & a white bride kissing at the London styled elephone booth. She was wearing a beautifully made golden sari & the groom wore the classic black suit. They were really cute & the bridesmaid all wore saris' as well. Well after getting overwhelmed by all the weddings, we drove up somewhere and enjoyed the whole scenery of the harbour. At that exact moment, I can already picture the photographic opportunities I can take at that viewpoint. It was my heaven & I would love to have a picnic there one day. Probably the best first date spot for me :L
Going to play tennis every Sunday morning since I don't do PE anymore, which I will really miss. First time playing tennis tomorrow so hopefully I don't suck at it too badly! Enjoy the rest of your holidays!

Yeah, Sandra drew this on her arm, upside down. Artistic (Y)

Let's go on a Picnik!

So the sad news is, Picnik (a photo editing website) is closing down. I only use it for convenience & they have really cool effects since my mac doesn't have photoshop :( But the good news is, all the premium effects are free to use! Example below!
