Trust. In. Him.

I sent her my worries.
She sent me a reply.

I wrote it on my hand.
Strength, grace and courage please.

Happy Monday <3.

Romans 8:28

We all know that all things work for good for those who love God, 

who are called according to his purpose.

musical of the mind.

It's a shame you don't know what you're running from...

Now Playing: Your Biggest Mistake -Ellie Goulding.

Other songs that were on repeat in the mental jukebox today:

-Hurricane Drunk -Florence and the Machine (especially.)
-Realise -Colbie Caillat (:3)

-Man of a Thousand Faces -Regina Spektor, (just a few times tonight..)

I'm glad people can't hear the music that plays in my head. It'd be much too much of a giveaway.

Yes. Had our brains speakers, I would most likely fail at life and the game of subtlety.

Knowledge. Powerful thing innit?

Curiosity Killed The Cat...
Ignorance is Bliss
and
What you Never Know Won’t Hurt you.

To put it simply, if she were a cat, she’d be dead.

Mmmmm... this melancholy madness. 

--------

It's been a week of sorts. 

Erratic, untimely, core-shaking, mixed bag sorts. Fear and Courage. Tears and ... sigh. Every other emotion that ever existed, it seems.

sounds a lot like love....

Ha. I wish I could laugh it in the face.

But this is becoming more than I anticipated. More _____ and more _____. Yep.

Happiness, hit her, like a train on the tra-a-ack. . .

Maniac mood. I feel I could conquer anything right now.

*maniac laugh*

It's a good thing I'm home on a Saturday night. A good thing indeed. And I'm too coward to turn off my phone. For lack of better word.. No. It's the word. 

Just sitting, waiting wishing. . . 

. . . must I always be playing, playing your fool? 

Wish I could be more assertive in this arena. 

But more assertion = more susceptibility to be trampled on.

I guess it's about finding someone who's worth it.

Ready and waiting, for a heart worth the breaking...

well I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of one sweet love

...Time that I've taken, I pray is not wasted

Have I already tasted, my piece of one sweet love?

 And I never felt so alive

Or so dead.

<3. the magic maniac musical mind of mizz. 

PS:, may as well make a game of this.

10 points if you can name all the songs and artists within this entry.

Viva la Love Story. . .

*edit*

here's the actual vid to the instrumental I was referring to last post. The passion and gusto is wowmazing. Listen to the entire thing, especially the end. So mega touching. Love at its best <3.
Check it (:, thank you Jeremy

Logbook.

Well ain't this an exciting revelation:

Suppose it's time to get road savvy! ;D

WATCH OUT YO!

Tops my Monday!

In addition to:

-A phonecall and quick skype catch up with my beautiful Stephy, and viewing the link to a video she helped make for her super friend, Michelle's birthday over the weekend. (,:! <3.

-Last-minute cramming for and confidently sufficiently (hopefully!) answering all the questions in today's exam (8.

-Dinner and a movie and a maccas run and a good catch up sesh with Dan.

-A phonecall from my giraffishly tall friend, Yannick :P.

...Just realised 2 of the 3-day loans I have from UQ are due tomorrow and since I've already got other important to-do's tomorrow, I'll have to squeeze all the notes out of them tonight before I return them tomorrow! (I would renew if I could, and am far too poor to pay the daily $4 late fine.) It's due Friday anyway, so I should really get a shuffle on anyhow, what with being rostered on for work for Thur & Fri anyway. D:

Well, off I go, hope you've all had a very merry Monday.

A joyous week to you all!

PS: Please channel all your positive thoughts this way! :L

With love,

Mizzicakes.

PPS: I've had this beautiful instrumental version (mash-up with Coldplay) of Taylor Swift's Love Story in my head ever since I heard it accompany the 21st video this morning. Took me a while to hunt down in the Tubes of You! But here it is, IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY AND DECENT-LIKE.

Suits my mood nicely and will go down well with a Jasmine Tea and some books I think. Time to don the glasses. Tired eyesss ~____~.

Weekend.

A weekend of extreme highs..and..not so highs!!
...

Friday was badminton with the two new Korean friends Dan and I made That Night, Sera and Ji Eun.

Yannick and I met them at Garden City bus stop before driving to Subway where we met Michael and had dinner. Together we all went to play badminton in ye ole School Hall. After a game, Mikey (who claims he wasn't aptly dressed for the occasion in jeans and a Star Wars printed tee), left us for Harry Potter 6, which they happened to be showing in M Block that night.
 
Colin met us later on after he finished work. We played our last round then decided we'd show the girls Mt Gravatt Lookout. It's totally been revamped! Well, I'd only been there once before but now they've thrown in this fancy new restaurant called 'Echidna Place' and arranged the foliage into a pretty little 'nature walk' alongside some play equipment, ie: swings and seesaw, a climbing frame and this whole seat/table contraption that can actually uhh..tilt/wobble?? Though it was occupied, unfortunately but I am definitely having a go next time!

For some reason, by this time I'd started feeling slightly nauseous...like dry salivating and having all this weird liquid pop up and say hi every ten or so minutes.. NOT GOOD.
My stomach was especially icky hurty and I wondered whether it was because I had had dinner slightly later than usual or cos I was hungry, post-sports.

I kept it quiet anyhow, just segregated myself from the crew a little to get some air (and save them from potential projectile, YES. IT WAS THAT BAD.) and after a few more happy snaps we decided to go to Market Square for a bite. Boys were boys and were quite the ravenous!

So, down the windy, light-post forsaken road of the Mountain of Gravatt we went! Me, in Colin's car and the girls taken hostage in Yannick's. SLOWLY. Least I told Colan too since I was oh-so queasy. Luckily he did have a stray plastic bag in the car for precaution (which was initially housing his container of takeaway seafood combo ho-fun noodles). . . I did use it. But not for anything major.. . . Yet.

We hit mini China-Town and my hero of a brother, Colin took the initiative to ask 7/11 for a plastic bag for me. Then...we sat in the gutter (classy, I know. Ironic thing was, I was sober?? :P) and after some persistent self-applied pressure to my belleh, I hurrrrrled! Nom. Sorry if you're eating hahaha.

Was liquidy and tuna-y and that's when I figured my predictions for the tummy ache were probably wrong, and could be most likely caused by the toonah sammich from Subberz. Or the mozzarella. Or a combination? -I never order either.. just felt like it. SADFACE.

Yan and the girls arrived shortly after, and remained oblivious. I didn't need to share, did I? Not something I would tell the whole world right? Or the interwebz. Ha. Ha.
Erm so we went to Malaya Corner, girls tried Malaysian Laksa for the first time. Loved it. I just had noodles in a vegetable soup since my stomach was pretty weak still, and Y and C had salty fish fried rice and chicken rice respectively. NOMMM.

Well.. it did all fare quite well. We all paid about $10 for our ginormous bowls (me = $9.90, bargain!, and by ginormous, I mean I could stick my face in my bowl if I wanted, no problem *seriousface*.)

Until... tummy decided not to absorb delish noodles or veg-ables and I had to take a trip outside for a "breather" and proceeded to feed the lawn beside the footpath with some well chewed yummies.

Hrrmm so.. yeah dinner x4 and not the slightest bit full );.

Yannick sent Sera and Ji home after and Colin dropped me at miiiine. Wish I had felt betterrrrr. Oh well.

Saturday. I headed to the library like a good student does. *errr, or perhaps student freaking out about passing an exam worth 45% tomorrow rather!
Then came home around 3.30pm where my Auntie and her family were chilling. (:
Curry puffs and cake and mini meatpies and cookies. YES PLEASE.

Not too much of an occasion cept a bit of an early, spontaneous party for my uncle's birthday! YEYAH!

Went for a run after they left, went to church then home for dinner and studehtaimez.

TODAY was just me..waking up at 6am..reading up on study in bed (not a good idea) ..then falling asleep..waking..reading..falling asleep... AND REPEAT.

Bit of photocrastination. Wasn't quite fast enough for the L-O-V-E initially... there were a few more attempts but you get the gist. . . xD

Actually got out of bed around 8? Then had some breakfast and read some more til lunchtime. Then it was CRUNCHTIME.
study.. study.. then a run.

And then I got The Message.

I am a fan of surprises, yes but this wasn't anything I was expecting. Far far from it.

Then I stumbled across this just about an hour ago that a workmate posted up on his facey.
This one is for You. Hang in there <3 <3 <3.

Back to the books. Wish me luck.

Wish HIM luck. 

Pray.

LOVE.

LIVE.

Friday, Sweet Friday

Well, if this isn't the best pick-me up, study sesh spirit launch-me-off on a rather grey, rainy Friday morning, well, I don't know what is!

IE: ROCKY AND BALLS.

Adorable UK songstresses Hanna Rei and Sophie Madeleine sing, write and perform their own the cutest, kooky-quirky, loveable and a little bit cheeky songs! First song I watched was...



...while catching up on the progress of Sweets by Sweets a project my super good Sydney friend, Stephy sparked up at her uni! A society of sweeties that sells sweets to raise monies for charity, check them out! @ www.sweetsbysweets.blogspot.com/ and show your support on their Facebook Page!


Heh, why, here's another little tune by the two which I do believe would terrifically accompany the < 120 character love story I submitted yesterday:




Well, happy Friday y'all. Time to embark on some serious study. >8)!
-Exam on Monday, super essay due Thursday. . .

Sweet <3,

Mizzzz xx

Running!

Took these brand-new babies for a spin this morning:

First time I've gone running with music plugged in (courtesy of my brother's pretty red ipod shuffle, thank you :)), and it makes such a difference! I mean with a consistent, fast tempo beat I was able to push myself and run/jog the majority of my route from my place to the local park, and even jumped on the exercise equipment! Whereas usually music-free running would be me and my thoughts and head voice trying to take charge of my legs to no avail hah!
Feeling good, real good, aside from a slight realisation that muscles may just exist on my knees and be a wee bit sore xD!

Had lunch before uni with Colin today and helped him do some groceries.
Then I headed in to uni for a lecture at 2.
Studied..well..attempted too and mostly ended up chatting with Carlos from 3 in 'The Hive' of the Social Sciences & Humanities (SSH) Library.
Ran off to stock up on caffeine. 2 for $5 V, please.
One for Carlos. One for me (:
Bumped into Bernie on the way back and had a very quick hello/chat!
Found Carlos, clinked our V cans and went our separate ways.
-Him to Jap. Me to studyland -_____-.
Stayed there til 7.45 and caught the 8pm train home (8.

Day 2 of Facebook freedom and I'm feeling swell haha.
Here's some alternatives I managed to find:

This morning:




One of my favourite favourite songs (I know, not my usual style, but it's so INFECTIOUS AND HAPPY HOW CAN YOU NOT!?) This rendition is even moreso! Watch them get into it! Ahmir <3.

 --
This afternoon:



Kudos to fratmusic's (studymix) -decent playlists! :D


Oh, in other news I got another side project! -At least, I wouldn't quite call it a job but it's journalism-related! Will update when I have something to show for it ;).

HAPPY TUESDAY CHILDLINGS :)

xxoo Mizz.

AFK, until further notice.

 Seriously? YES. I AM SURE. =________=

bit lol though right? Don't try and make me feel bad Facebook, you're horrible enough as it is :P.

Hello Real Life.

Mizzzzzzzzz :D!

Note to Self:

Yep. I figured out how to flip photos bahahhahaha. So here's the real version of hi-chew loving. :P GRAPE SODA FLAVOUR IS ACTUALLY A BIT WOW AND SODA-SENSATIONAL-ESQUE ACTUALLY. it's love. Like, actually.

YAY. HAPPY MONDAY AND STUFF, KIDS.

<3.

This Melancholy Madness.

This melancholy madness.

This photobooth madness.

this wondering madness.

this scabby, bruisey madness.

this mental madness.

Perfect.

-Mizz out.

Studyin' about that good ol' way.

Down to the River to Pray, by Alison Krauss.

From the movie, O Brother, Where Art Thou?




Personally, I'm still to see the film (-I do hear it's a good and quite humorous one!), but I learnt this song with the CMC Singers back in highschool and suddenly now, just studying, it popped back into my head -as songs usually do. I youtubed it and hyperlinked it to the title of the song at the beginning of this post. Listen to it. Beautiful. Raw. Just... super amazing.

I hope it evokes something in you.

If there was a way God spoke to me, I'd have to say honestly, it's through music. When times are tough and all... something relevant will pop into my mental jukebox and I'll feel strangely calm and comforted.

In the scene from the movie to this song, I can't help but smile at the sheer joy of the farmer man's face, his exhilaration at having his sins washed away and having a fresh plate, and being so incredibly accepting  (almost absurdly so) and just glad that he's a new man! And even convinces his friends to go too! Despite being Christian myself, I find it hard not to question what I believe, and I do so quite frequently. Searching. Probing. Wondering why I believe what I believe. And whether I agree. Bit of a Thomas I am. It's hard just to follow and believe... I think that's too naive. It's the kind of faith that kind of that scares me. For good and bad. A mix of amazement and awe...and cynicism. How can one just ...follow? And yeah.. yeah I can't really type fast enough to match my current spiraling trains (yes plural, trainS) of thought.

Well.. back to hit the books. I wish you all a merry weekend (:

Don't know bout chu all but I've had a pretty fantastic week! Thank you Universe! <3
:D:D:D
Bring on the study! And the workload! ;L =______=....

of and of course, HAPPY 25th ELLA!

AJJA AJJA EVERYONE xD

Lots of love, Mizzzz
