HAWEEWEE // TRAVEL

I FINALLY edited the photos I had taken during my trip to Hawaii and Indonesia! I am quite honestly a champion. I've probably never felt so accomplished.
I remember at the beginning of this year, I was reminding you guys that I was still alive and enjoying the views of those rugged landscapes... it seems that nothing has really changed (except rugged landscapes have been replaced with the blaring brightness of my new MacBook *yes*).

When I told my friends, it seemed to them as a weird holiday destination - some 'random' selection. GUYS, if you actually go to Honolulu, you'll see that it's 105% tourist and 0.00000003% locals. Do I really owe an explanation for my holiday choices? (well, my mum's aunt actually lives there and she's completely alone excluding her own fam so we decided to visit after 5 years of saying we would).

It was my first time going anyway close to the USA (does Hawaii count as the US?) so I was, of course, excited. I didn't really know what to expect since I was (and sometimes remain) an uncultured swine, but I knew it would be beautiful yet extremely touristy. And that's exactly how it was...

Let's Talk About #2 - Fitness and Dieting

I've decided to make these "Let's Talk About" a more frequent thing because I have so many opinions I need to express!

Hey lovelies!

It seems that since the massive fitness crazed dawned, the importance of having the 'perfect' body has been further blown out of proportion. Especially with social media, all of us are under even more pressure and are increasingly uncomfortable with our bodies. This isn't exactly new stuff, but it's not surprisingly a lot worse now.

This is something that has really struck me, affected me and stressed me out, so today I'm just going to outline my "views" towards dieting in today's society but also my own ways (ways I have gleaned from the real gurus out there) of staying fit and HEALTHY.  

Disclaimer: I am BY NO MEANS a health and fitness specialist. I am just a teenager who is trying to find their way around this world.

PINNACLES X BUNBURY

HEY GUYS!

Guess what? I went on a road trip. Actually, I went on two but the break between them was 1 day so it was like a massive journey. To roast my skin.

I'm going to admit. It was so hot I almost died but I made it through, with a couple of nice pics. OK the waters weren't exactly aesthetically pleasing but they were fun to swim in. Until Uncle TOM came... ahahah ;-)

BUT HERE'S A LITTLE SUMMARY OF THE TRIP!

Best Movies, Books and Music of 2014

HEY YO LOVELIES!

Christmas is dawning and so is the New Year! Kind of daunting really... I remember about  a year ago I was sitting in a my Auntie's apartment in China hit the streets or later when I was in my hotel room in Taiwan typing up my Christmas greetings. BUT I'll save all that to a later date because I needa share the things that have been keeping me going this year! This translates to my favourites movies, books and music... as hinted above.

// WARNING: THIS TO TOTES SUBJECTIVE //
+ this is quite a lengthy post
+ being a favourite doesn't necessarily mean it was released this year,
mainly that I was exposed to it this year.

HOLIDAYS 2014 // Royal Show

I vowed to never go back but I guess friends come first... This year's Royal Show crew comprised of Evelyn, John, Smith, Nope, No one, Else, But, Me. Despite, the smaller gang this year I was still eager to go because we were breaking from out moulds... we had decided to go at night! I had my doubts but it turned out amazzzzings! Except my sister had to join halfway and that made it super awks...

Empathy VS Sympathy

Hello my lovelies!
We've started school and it's safe to say that my classes suck. Either they're full of people I don't talk to, too small or the content is driving me crazy. I'm not stressed yet (except about my books which I have ordered by won't come until another 2 weeks) and I'm trying to pace myself. However our Literature teacher decided to give us a 'anxiety session', just to get ourselves prepared, where she just went over how to deal with worrying and showed us this clip. She wants us to make school a safer environment and I love her for that, so I'm going to share it with you in hope you can make your school a safer environment too.

Better

I'm a bit late on the trend but you have to forgive me, I have an excuse! I'm starting Year 11 this year, which is the first year of preparing for the WACE exams (exams to get into Uni) and I'm scared. But then again, that's coming from a lonely teen who only cries about feeling like she didn't do well in an exam and breaks down when she's overly stressed hates school just like everyone else. I've always been ambitious so that just makes me push myself harder, and when I'm put into a room of 25 (or more) of the smartest people I know, I go crazy.

However, today is not for complaining about how badly I dislike my Chinese class or how tedious and annoying Economics seems, today I'm going to share things that I want to improve/strive for in the new year. One of which includes my attitude towards school, one of which is the main ones. So basically it's my New Years resolution, just for you!
