in the arms of an angel

it's times like these when your faith is truly tested. one of my best friends younger brother passed away yesterday morning and it's still hard to think about. i have never experienced losing a loved one before so it is a new and strange feeling. it breaks my heart thinking about what my friend and her parents are going through. my immediate reaction was to break down and let it out, but after having some time to grieve i have learned to accept it.
i believe that he is in a much better place and smiling down on all of us. i believe that this happened for a reason, although it is so hard to understand why. i hope people realise how precious life is and how important it is to love as much as you can and stop wasting time hating and being angry at the world. Life is such an amazing gift and we need to make the most of it. Yes we only live once, but instead of living it up and drinking it down we need to make our time here worthwhile and make every second count for the better.

i continue praying for the family to get through this hard time and i know that i will see his smiling face one sweet day. xx

Final Countdown

Real men take sticker photos! At the end of June it was Fahim's 21st birthday, he celebrated with a small dinner with close family and friends at nandos!! yum yum. Afterwards 6 of us went to Timezone, winning 200+ tickets and buying candy ha, then to end the night we went to play bowling. Goood times!

Another birthday celebrated was my bff Grace, who turned the big TWO THREE lol not even big. We had a lovely dinner at Thai Village, absolute delish and then a night out in town. Ventures include, stripclub, karaoke club and a long cold walk to Bakehouse and back to town. More good times. The following Sunday Timmo took us and his best friends family out for a ride on his Dad's boat, it was the most gorgeous perfect day to go, although Aiva got a bit anxious on the boat she LOVED the playground afterwards.

My last week of holiday was actually really great. I worked two days at holiday programme which included a trip to the movies to watch Ice Age 4 (see my loose change McD's lunch.) A dinner date with two of my best uni friends, $2 tacos and $6 desserts via Amigos & Iguana, the perfect day out with my baby girl and then topping it all off with a very unplanned but still just as fun night out with my girlfriends.

Just what I needed to end this great holiday break, but now back to Uni and time to get into student-mode! xx

Me time

As much as I love my gorgeous baby girl, I had a really good day today having some me time. I started off with lunch at The Bank with one of my dearest high school friends Marija, we hadn't seen each other in over a year, which is quite ridiculous since we live 5 minutes away from each other but it was really really great to catch up with her and we plan to make our catch ups much more regular this time! We went to Robert Harris after our delicious lunch for a cuppa, which was perfect for the cold day that it was, and then we parted ways just in time for her work and for me to go to my florist appointment!


My appointment went very well! Andrea the owner of 'Twigs' was so lovely and helpful and I don't think I have ever been so excited about flowers before!
I went to see Briar at work and we were able to catch up since the store (Wildpair) wasn't too busy and I found some pretty amazing shoes that could possibly be the ones for the wedding!! Eee, exciting! I love shoes in general and these were just *sigh* so good, they were so freaken comfortable that I just didn't want to take them off! 


I went to Kmart afterwards just to look around and I ended up buying some undies heh, cute boyleg ones. By this time it was nearly 4 so I decided to catch the bus home which I haven't done in a really long time, but I used to ALL the time when I was studying hospitality back in 2008. I quite like bus rides, it's so relaxing and you can kind of zone out and go into your own lala land, mine being Keanu Reeves :)


Got off the bus and nearly got attacked by a dog, so scary omg I actually thought it was going to bite my leg. Eek! Freaked me out yo. It came out of nowhere too. Couldn't let that ruin my day though, I had a really really great day. I think alone time is something I needed and just a break from Mommyhood for a couple of hours. BUT there's nothing better than coming home back to it & a gorgeous little girl saying, "Muuuuuummmm!" when you walk in the door :)

my Little Red Hen from The Bank and some eggless chocolate cupcakes I baked the other day... they're all gone now.. :p xx
