I hope everyone had a great easter, and for those who don't celebrate just a great weekend in general. I had the pleasure of celebrating easter with my roommate, at her family farm. 

It was strange for me. This is the first time in my 22 years of life that I haven't spent the easter weekend with my own family. But the year heading back to Sydney just seemed like an inconvenience as it's rather early on in the semester and such.

I got to do something that I haven't yet done here in Melbourne, which was catch the train to get to her place. Coming from Sydney I am more accustom to catching trains, but here in Melbourne the trams make travelling so much easier, in my opinion.

 I spent the weekend offline, away from the internet and out of reception mostly. In the fresh air and away from the city. 

I also had the joy of cuddling a puppy for the weekend, something I miss doing since I'm not at home and away from work.

I hope you all had good Easters.

June/July photo round up

Now that August is almost over I find it almost pointless for me to blog about things that happened in June/July and give them their own blog. I know I have been kinda slack. 

So I thought that I would put some of the photos I took up on the blog, even though they are not getting their own post. Just because they are getting in the way, and if I don't post them now I probably won't ever.

Here is a quick round up of things that I did in June/ July that would have had their own posts at the time, but don't now because I have forgotten what happened most days.

Enjoy!

Taco Tuesday

My all time favourite Mexican restaurant opened up an establishment here in Melbourne, and I was super excited about it. So we headed out to The Beached Burrito Company in Fitzroy and enjoyed some marvellous tacos.

The 10 hour drive

Heading back to Sydney by car takes a hell of a lot of time. Luckily I had a good friend with me and we passed the time by having a massive singalong to Taylor Swift (our personal queen) for the entire trip.

Some pretty skies

Early morning winter skies on my drive to work.

Return to Melbourne

Once again the long drive, accompanied by my wonderful uncle and aunt.

Can you tell I like nature shots.

Footscray Community Arts Centre

Visiting my cousin at work and stumbling upon their current (at the time) exhibition called What Lies Buried Rises. Which was a beautiful collection for NAIDOC week at the centre. 

Gertrude Street Projection Festival

A festival that celebrates projection art. Using familiar buildings of the street and projecting art pieces on them. 

Hopefully from this point on I will be more up to date with my posts and won't log a large collection of picture meant to go up, but not actually going up when intended.

Do you hear the people sing? with Les Miserables

It no secret at all that I am a musical theatre fan, just go back to my post about Wicked from last year, to see how much so. They are something that I adore more than life and something that I spend way to much of my free time thinking (and jamming out to) than I would like to admit.

So when I FINALLY!! got the chance to see Les Mis in Sydney I died on the inside.

This was one of the few musicals that I have always wanted to see live, it's a musical that is in my top 5 favourite shows, even though I hadn't seen it live until this year.

I am such a big fangirl about this musical. I love almost everything thing about it, and constantly have the songs stuck in my head. So when I got tickets to go and see it for my birthday with my beautiful mother and aunt I was over the moon.

Seeing it live on stage lives up to expectation, much better than watching the 25th anniversary and movie version on my computer. Even though I have a total girl crush on Samantha Barks, who was in both of those versions. Seeing it live in front of my own eyes was magical. 

Also the cast that they had were amazing and so very talented. 

It's such a powerful musical and is so glorious to watch.

What is your favourite musical? and have you gotten to see it live?

100th Blog Post!!!

We are finally here! My 100th blog post. This has taken me some time to post for some reason, even though I have nothing special planned for this post. But we are here now and that's what's important.

So like I mentioned above, I have nothing special planned for tis post. I probably should have planned something, but I think it's best at the moment that I just do a quick post and share some of my favourite moments from the past 99 posts. 

Thank you all so much for reading, lets have some fun with the future 100 posts.

Keep being wonderful!

March rewind 2015

It honestly feels like March flew by. 

I gathered freebies at my university's O'Week, bought all of my required books, started classes, went to on campus parties and spent some quality time with my friends and new roommates.

I have already spent endless hours studying, or really procrastinating, and have managed to get through my first four weeks, of my second year, without any mishap.

I started to decorate my bedroom on campus and even started a few personal projects. somehow managing to balance everything smoothly and not feel swamped at the same time.

I put together three different costumes, for three different themed parties and managed to get lost on the drive to one of them.

I spent time at uni and away from uni hanging out with the amazing friends I have and bonded with my four new roommates for the year. I even came up with some grand ideas and plans, that I now need to act upon.

Netflix has also arrived in Australia, so that can only mean more hours of procrastination lie ahead.

I hope everyone is having a good easter break, whether you celebrate or not. I personally am back at home for a week on holidays.

Melbourne road trip: day 2

After a fairly good nights sleep we ventured out to find some coffee and headed back on the road. 

This time I was driving, so there aren't as many photos as I wasn't able to take them myself and I am quite picky when it comes to what deserves to get a photo taken of. 

Once we finally arrived in Melbourne we went and had dinner with some family friends in the Williamstown Botanic Gardens, a beautiful seaside garden. Which was a nice way to end the long two day drive.

Now onto the next stage of craziness, preparing myself for my second year at university.
