Hidden treasures

I skipped a few days, I know.

But the next few posts will make up for it. I have many pretties that need to be posted :)

But for tonight, i'll give you this.



My hidden treasure.

Not too much to say really...

..other than i bribed Alex to stand on the road and smile tonight because camera makes me happy. And happiness is what i need.


I then lol'd at this image and asked Alex why he was smiling like that...

K: What's that smile for?

A: When you have to demand so many photos of me, my cheek buds get so sore and my smile changes on its own.

K: Okay....................so when does your smile go back to normal?

A: Give it time, 5 minutes or so. *Massages face*

Literally, those words came from his mouth! A seven year old! Gah.

It started like this:

Kylie stated she was in a good mood tonight, and i replied with, "well i'm not."

She then fought back with, "go bowling or something."

...To which i giggled.

Hmmm. I don't know why, but tonight I'm just not in a good mood. I think it's cause i'm caught up in reflection. Today i sat in class and all {literally all} i could think of was, "did the days used to go this slow?" "Did they really use to be like this?"

I don't know. Maybe it's just the start of the year syndrome, or the annoying hardness of the senior years of high school. I don't know, it just seems everything centered around school these days go slower.

Is it because I'm older, because things are harder, because we're not 'little' anymore?

Who knows.

I continued my bad mood slump tonight when i faced my homework of Chemistry, Maths and Biology and then continued to slump when i stubbed my toe and consequently stacked it down the stairs.

Then i remembered, last night, i woke up at around 1.30am. It was soo hot in my room. I could not go back to sleep and as i lay there i searched for a piece of paper to scribble down these:

"Nothing is ever so dark, that you cannot see anything ahead. Even in the still of night you can still see the little specks of the sun that we so beautifully call stars, you just sometimes have to look for them"

"Searching for answers when your lost is like looking for the stars in the city. They are there, they are just hard to find."

They made me feel better tonight. Don't ask me how i wrote them though, when at 2am, i can barely open my eyes. Sometimes i surprise myself.





Have a lovely night :)

Fragments {Things that make me smile}

My room is my sanctuary. There are things in it that make me smile, daily. I've decided to post a few of those things. Not all at once, as that would be a hauuuuge post, but in parts.

Part one: {For now}


My closest. Sure it's not Miley Cyrus' closet but it's filled with dresses. And that's enough for me.



The countless pictures on my wall; this one in particular. Three of my loves.


My Canon Camera, my baby. Endless smiles. The best gift i have ever, ever, ever gotten. The End.


Seeing this loverrly light every single night. Ohh sunshine.


That's it for now; have a beautiful weekend :)

Fix it Friday

Fix it friday is on at Iheartfaces.com



This is my entry; the original:


And here is my contribution :)

Back tracking.

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught in a photographed is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."

That's what i said previously. Summed up into a quote that i would never be smart enough to create myself. That's it.

You take pictures to remember little details. So when, a year later, you open a file, you're heart skips a beat or two and you feel like crying. Because, it. all. comes. back.

That's what happened tonight, and that's why i take photos.


Was going through my albums tonight; and found that photo from New Zealand. Taken the day we arrived at our house in Queenstown. The lovely light and that fire in the background makes my heart hurt tonight. Looking at this photo i can almost feel the under floor heating, smell the soup cooking and hear the music through the speakers...

It's this photo in my mind during a double chem section that makes me feel a little better, and makes me remember the good stuff. It takes you away from the not so good stuff for a while :)

Anyway, so my word of advice tonight ladies and gentlemen?

Take way too many photos. Fill your memory card. Capture film. Because even if not now, a year later, two years or ten years later down the track, you will appreciate it. So, much.

Swims in hot {Swims in cold}

Insane, i tell you. But then again...so am i.

Little sissy is a mermaid and will swim in hot or cold, dry or wet. I'm pretty sure if there was a pool in the snow...she'd swim there too.

Some bribed shots of Emily after a swim in this rather cool weather.

This weeks theme is, "I heart Dancing." My image is of my younger sister, dressed in her favourite tutu, out on the road showing me her best spinning and skipping. I had to be extremely quick to catch that little smile and the light dancing on her hair...
