Day 30

Omygosh! I made it : )


A motto or philosophy...


"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

                                                                                      -Red Auerbach


This is so true for music players and lovers! Music makes us forget everything that has gone wrong and is to come, helps us to calm down etc.

Without music, I would be nowhere! I would be a dull, boring creature who probably would've been really bad at blogging and never take photos.


So I say, "Thank you for the music. For giving it to me!"

                                                                                           -ABBA


Amen!


p.s. Thanks so much everyone for commenting and reading my 30 day blog challenge! I really enjoyed and I hope you learnt a lot about me that you didn't know before : )

Day 29

Hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days (or beyond)...


Wow! I have a lot! Want to hear them all?

Well, for the rest of this year, I would like to get better at playing the piano

 and blog better posts about my life. (including family, friends, experiences, fashion/outfit posts etc.)

I would also like to become better at taking photos and editing them : )

(isn't that cool?)

And beyond? I hope to get married and have children


                                                   

 and be successful in whatever career I choose to do. (oh and I also plan to travel all around Europe! don't know if it'll happen!)

What are your hopes and dreams??


Also, Moriah from Uniquely fashioned for His Glory, is having a whole bunch of different giveaways to celebrate her blogoversary! I've just entered one of the giveaways, so go do it too.



  Have fun : )

Day 27 & 28

What can I say?

I didn't post yesterday again, I know. But after finding out the sudden news of family I've known since as long as I can remember moving away, a bug in our house (my brother Isaac is very sick at the moment) and the heavy overload of school that keeps coming PLUS all extra practising and learning things for extra curricular opportunities, I have not felt like blogging! I'm sorry guys! You'll have to forgive me again : )
I'm feeling a little better at the moment, so I'll take the opportunity to post for yesterday and today! For new readers, I'm in the middle of the 30 day blog challenge and I'm supposed to be posting every day. I'm almost done though, so that's exciting!

A favourite school subject...

Well, it's definitely NOT maths! Quite the contrary. I'm very good at spelling (finished grade 12 at the end of last year in fact) and I suppose you could count piano as a school subject and you all know that's definitely my favourite! But I really love learning the language German.


                                    


I started it two years ago using a language program called Rosetta Stone. I *love* it!
Guten tag. Wie geht es?! (having trouble? Good day. How are you?)


I also really love learning the history of the world! Mum earned a degree in the university on history and teaches heaps of it so I can't help but be familiar with it and love it too! Some of my favourite periods are the 1800's in England


                                            

And Bible history. There's so much of it and it's so facinating!


                                       



What's your favourite school subject?


A dream job...


To be a world wide famous pianist!! Fullstop!




Oh, and I have a couple other dreams too!


A good cook that has her own tv show! Like Nigella Lawson.

                            


And a successful missionary. I'm not sure where in this world.



                                             


What is your dream job (s)?

Day 26

Something you do differently to most people...

Well, for a start, I don't know what other people do and whether I do something different to them, but there I'm just rambling on!

*This isn't a very good start to a post, is it?*

Ok, what I do differently. Well, I have to have my room clean before going to bed at night. But then, some of you might do that to! I also go running at 6:30am in the morning 3 times a week with my Mum and sisters. Do any of you do that?! Oh, and I love to clean : ) Washing, ironing, scrubbing and vacuuming. Well, I sometimes don't want to do them, but when I do, I enjoy it! I know. You're probably thinking I'm a lunatic, and you know what? I probably am!



                                           

Alright, enough of that nonsense!

Do you do something different to most people? Do share in a comment!

Day 23, 24 & 25

Oh dear!

I look at the title and see how behind I am!

Now, you'll have to forgive me for not posting these last two days because I have been incredibly busy! ("tell me about it". you say!) I do not see how bloggers have time to post in the week every day. For people who are new, I do not normally post every single day, but because I'm doing the 30 day blog challenge, I am supposed to post every day. It can be hard as I mentioned, but at least there is such thing as catching up and forgiving! (on your part I hope)

So, here they all are!


A way you want to be remembered...


Ahhh, I really don't know! Maybe as a loving mother, wife and grandmother, dedicated and hardworking on whatever career I do, a noble friend and a true follower of Jesus to the end!

Random question: If I died tonight, what would you remember me as?

Normal question: As always, what is a way (s) you would like to be remembered as?



A favourite video...

I know. I know. I know. It's a pretty stupid song! And it's probably not worth it, but when I first heard the song, it sounded really catchy and I watched the video of it and it's pretty cool! (maybe) But don't you think Rebecca has such a low voice for a girl? It might be one favourite video at the moment, but it definitely won't stay that way : )


A favourite artwork...


                                      

This painting by Renoir is called The Two Young Girls at the Piano. Isn't it gorgeous?

What is a favourite artwork of yours?


Thanks again dear Followers! I know you're forgiving and patient!

Day 21 & 22

I'm sorry I keep getting behind! It's hard with school and so much going on : (


A physical feature you love...


Well, I know I don't really like having big feet or hands! I like being tall, but one feature I really love is...





sorry that it looks a bit weird covering up some of the sidebar gadgets! I can't really do anything about it : (

I really love it! I can put it up in many ways, or leave down with heaps of different accessories! The choices are endless!

And what about you?



A favourite website...


Hmmm, apart from my own blog, {wink} I really love Picnick and Cath Kidston. And also some favourite blogs would definitely have to be Pastor's Girl's Ponderings, Katie's Korner and Heaven in My Heart!


What are some of your favourite websites?


xoxox

p.s. Crista Moriah from Uniquely Fashioned for His Glory is trying to get to 150 followers by the end of today! Could you please help her out : )

Day 20

A hobby of yours...

And yet again, I have many hobbies as most of you know!

I love dancing...

And singing...

Can I just say that this photo is from 2007! Yes I don't seem to have any reasont photos of me singing! If you're having trouble working out where I am, I'm the second from the left in the back row : )

Acting...

Another old photo from 2008. My homeschooling co-op put on a play and it was fun! (learn more here)

Scrap-booking...

Although, I may have lost my interest! I'm not sure. Maybe I can't be bothered to get all the stuff out, but once they're there, I get right into it!

And being with friends...

(that was in 2008!)

And your hobbies are?

Day 18 & 19

A recent photo of you...

Wow! I have many recent photos! Gee, I guess I'll have to choose won't I?

One of the various photos from my first ever outfit post!


A talent of yours...


Hmm, I think I'd say the piano. I started learning to play the when I was about eight, and haven't stopped since. I really enjoy playing the piano from the beautiful white keys, to the music on the sheets waiting to be read and played! Mum has always said that I have a talent for it. I hear something, then I can pretty much play it on the piano without much practice. But I'm not very good at theory or reading music. (but I am improving!)
Thank God for the piano!!

                               
(sorry for the interesting light in this photo! I didn't take it, but I like it any way)


What is a talent (s) of yours? Do tell!

Day 17

Someone you want to meet...

Well, I'd really like to meet Jesus, but I guess I'll do that any way in heaven.

Umm, I would love to meet Queen Elizabeth!

                                                        


Or maybe Julia Gillard.


                                                           

Or Emma Watson...


Oh, and it would be cool to meet some blogging Friends that live in America or somewhere else in Australia! I would love to talk to Alexandra, Crista Moriah or Natalia in person! It would also be nice to meet Izi as well!

Well, there you have it! As you all very well know, I usually have more than one answer for the question!


Who would you like to meet?

HALT! (and semi-formal spring outfit)

Ok, you Guys aren't going to be pleased, but I've decided to to halt the 30 Day Blog Challenge!
Why? Because I feel like this isn't the right time to post about it, being close to Easter and many other things I've been wanting to post about in ages!

I do hope you Followers don't mind if I do and I'll start back at Day 17 in about a week's time!

But here's day 16.


Your favourite food...


Ahh, have you guessed? Yet again, I have many favourite foods! Here's one. (or two!)



Chicken! (i love this meat!)

                                   


And anything to do with chocolate! *guilty expression* : )

                                                    

(oh my gosh, just looking at these photos! YUM!)



And now for my outfit post which I promised you all ages ago! Sorry! (we have been busy lately!)


I decided to go with a semi-formal spring outfit today. I know. I know. It's not exactly spring, but I *love* this dress and I've been planing to take photos of it for awhile, so hence the spring outfit in autumn! But I've worn it in autumn so it's ok, just more of a spring dress.
Alright, enough on that subject! Now for the photos!

                                           





I love this photo collage! India showed me how to do it on Picnik.



dress: Pumpkin Patch // cardigan: Pumpkin Patch // high heel sandals: The Shoe Warehouse // earrings: Diva // handbag: Cath Kidston (you all know about that from here!)











 Hope you enjoyed it and aren't too disappointed about halting the 30 day blog challenge for a bit!

 

Thanks dears : )
