And so it begins...

I'm sitting downstairs at the dining table, listening to Brooke Fraser (Now Playing: I Will Exalt You)...and all of a sudden I just feel a little bit overwhelmed...in a good way. I'm a bit excited, there's a smile on my face and my heart is picking up the pace a bit. I've just read through the course profile for an Art History class I've signed up for (ARTT2107: Asia Pacific Contemporary Art) and it's just... yay! Something that has evidently stirred something inside of me (:

It's good. It's definitely a good sign. Just a month ago I had only been enrolled in one course. This changed about 5 days ago. Initially I'd planned to defer this semester, quite last minute actually. Just to find work, work experience, maybe an internship somewhere to see if Journalism is something I really want to pursue. I keep thinking, it's two years to go...but it could be another 2 years wasted. But hey, I'm halfway there..I'm not one to leave loose ends and I may as well see where it takes me. I'm sort of just writing out these thoughts as they come to me actually. But I'm actually quite pumped. This semester I'm taking a unit in Journalism in Sound. That's radio, to be precise. First lecture was rather promising, it seems we'll cover and learn and get to experience a fir bit this semester and I'm sincerely looking forward to it! DJ MIZZ ON YO AIRWAVES. Watch this space! I've a feeling I'm going to love this immensely. If not written Journalism, radio would definitely be an avenue I'd consider :). (Seriously, TV is harder than it looks and as it turns out, not quite my forte xD).


I've also acquired a new position at my workplace, on top of working on the registers downstairs, you will find me in Sales upstairs! yay! Update! hahaha.

Amongst these findings, I realise just how fortunate I am. Life has indeed seemed almost too peachy, lately. And I'm suspicious, I'm anticipating for the disclaimer to rear it's ugly head and be all, 'JOKES, JUST KIDDING!' But for now... happy, and slightly skeptical as I am, I will enjoy the moment.

Please excuse my scattered mind (:

Who are we fooling?

So we're back here again
Tip-toeing round the edge of the end
Wondering who will be last to admit
That we're finally over

Turned twenty one on the day that we met
Terrible shoes, implausible dress
It's funny how sad the funny things get as you grow older

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

I learned the art of biting my tongue
I'm tired of trying to guess what was wrong
Both agreed on where we should go
But not how to get there

We tried and tried to loosen the knots
Thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off
But it's these failures and faults that hold us together

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
It's a beautiful knot that we just can't undo
Together we're one, but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?

Cause real love
Is hard love
It's all we have
It's a break-neck
Train wreck
It's all we have...

So we're back here again
Turning away from the edge of the end
Arm in arm

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
It's a beautiful knot we just can't undo
If it's not either of us, tell me who are we fooling?

Together we're one, but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?

Beautiful loop in my head all day.

Brooke Fraser, Bless. (:

Preservation.

Dear Corona,

Yeah, you know who you are.

Well. Perhaps I am merely speculating on potential here...but,
I have to say no to you today.
Because I like you. Because I want this...whatever this is, to work. But just like I told you, for all the right reasons. I've met souls traveling the same road as you, but sometimes, you need to peel the bandaid away in order for the wound to heal completely. And you're in desperate need of fresh air. (:

For the sake and preservation of this friendship.

 With Love, Southern Comfort & Lemonade.

PS I do like surprises, yes. And that was rather pleasant. 

Thank you (:

Gotye.

           

Your heart's a mess,

You won't admit to it.

It makes no sense,

But I'm desperate to connect

And you, you can't live like this.

For now, I'll leave you this.

Waterfall.

Tuesday, 1 February 2011

Secret location with Sabrina and Claudia.

40 minute drive out of Brisbane.
Women versus wild... Well, rocks, rushing water, trees, twigs, spiderwebs and their occupants, ants, trees and foliage.

Picnic.

Then a bit more climbing til we reached this little hideaway.

The base of the main waterfall, it's actually larger and more spectacular but I seem to lack an image to show for it!


Praying the girl who missed the water when she jumped off the cliff (don't worry it wasn't high) is doing okay and is on the road to a speedy recovery!

Simply beautiful, amazing, wonderful.

Wish we had more time.

<3 Happy Birthday, you!

Re-aquaintace.

Sia - Bring Night
plays in my head
brings a smile to my face
and takes me back to the weekend, as we rolled along on the road on the Gold Coast.

I couldn't feel more fortunate, nor content.
Life seems to be this way even moreso than usual, these days. Bless.

I've not blogged for a pretty unnecessarily long time.
But indeed, a lot has happened.

This summer has been one of the best yet.

Malaysia, Hong Kong and China are places I've been hiding and exploring over Christmas and New Year.
And upon my return, the Botanical Gardens for the Sunset Sounds music Festival, St Lucia (for flood assistance), the Gold Coast and Cedar Creek.

I cannot wait for February!

sorry.. short but I will get back into it all, you've not been forgotten! Happy 3.14 o'clock! aka PI OCLOCK!
Mizz.
