Apr 17: Stolen Shoes

Oh hey guys,
I am now back at school after a two and a half week Easter holiday break. Thank you Good Friday, Student Free day and Parent Teacher interviews.
Today was my first day back. I was late, like usual, it seems that the holidays have put me into a really bad sleeping pattern consisting of really late nights and not getting up until after noon.
One thing that did not help me was starting the day with maths first thing. It made me brain-dead for the rest of the day. However I did get my year 12 jumper today, a whole term after all the other schools in my area. It turned out to be a good day. I only had three periods so I got to go home at lunch, only to go home to do homework but that is fine with me. It is warm here.
I am just about to go out to a casual gathering with my friends from my youth group. A pizza and pasta night.
One guess as to what I am wearing. If you guessed my new school jumper, jeans, my brother's canvas shoes and a panda beanie you would be right. I'm feeling really lazy okay, don't judge me.

Sorry this is so short and has no pictures.
Until next time,
Liana xx

Mar 23: The letter 'L'

Tonight I went to my youth leader and mentor's 21st birthday party. She is the most amazing and joyful person I have ever met and I don't know what or where I would be without her.
It was a themed costume party, centered around the first letter of her name 'L'.
It took me awhile to figure out what I was going to go as. I like being original and too be honest there were already so many leopard and lady bugs that they didn't need anymore.
In the end I went as a french moon 'la lune'.

I borrowed a white dress off my friend, and put a sheer white top underneath to keep me warm(er). I paired that with white tights and a silver piece of material that I tied around my waist. I also wore a red beret and curled my hair to look a bit more french.

I completed the costume with a white piece of cardboard cut in a circular shape and decorated to look like a moon. My shoes are little vintage styled blush coloured heels bought at a local store.
Over all I kept my makeup very simple and fresh, with a brilliant red lipstick that matched my hat and winged eyeliner.

I had loads of fun and it was great to be able to sit down and just chat with everyone.

Until next time,
Liana xx

P.S this was supposed to go up this morning but I am lazy, and was running late.

Feb 17: if necessary use words

Hello,
I have been a very busy little bee these past few days.

Friday I had a study skills seminar at Swinburne Uni. I learn a lot of things that I can use to get the best score I can this year, including how to take notes, when to study, how to study etc. The boring but useful stuff really. I think I might do a blog post on what I intend on doing study and school wise, if it isn't to boring. I did get to see some people who I haven't seen in a while, which was fantastic.
Also on Friday night my youth leaders asked me to host/lead our C.O.W. (change our would) night in a months time. I need to come up with a subject for discussion by this coming Friday, it shouldn't be too hard. I'm going to ask around an see if anyone else ha any ideas. If you guys have any ideas please leave them in the comments :)

Yesterday my family took a beach trip to Rosebud to not only make good use of the fantastic weather we have had for the past 2 weeks, but to visit my uncle and aunt, their 'new' dog, son and grandson. New meaning four years old but we haven't been down to see them in that long we haven't met her. They are part of the Mcray yacht club who were running a race that day which was really nice to watch while we had a little dip. We had fish and chips for dinner on the beach, I say on the beach I really mean on the yacht club balcony, while watching the sun set over the water. We took their dog Poppy for a walk along the beach to burn it off. It was an amazing day. We go there for a late lunch and stayed until after night fall and got back at 10pm.

Today was pretty boring. Way to hot to do anything. My darling sister was very cranky; she doesn't do well in the heat. We also went to my sister's church to listen to a guy (Ian McCormack) speak about his life and give his testimony about how he came to know god when he died 30 odd years ago. A really incredible and interesting story. And don't worry I'm not going to get all preachy with you, but it is a part of my life however I believe that actions speak louder than words and in this case: "Preach the gospel. If necessary use words"

I hope you had a nice weekend.
Until next time,
Liana xx

Feb 13: Sorry?!?...

Okay, it's been a little while. Okay it's been more than a week. And I'm sorry. You know how it takes a little while to get back into the swing of things after holidays well, same goes with school. I feel like I just get a handle on it and by that time it's back to holidays. So while I'm trying to get on top of all the homework I've now got, along with balancing my extra activities into my scheduled I'm asking you to be patience with me. I have definitely gotten better over the week, but there are still a few kinks I need to figure out.
Along side homework and school there have been some excruciatingly hot days which are not fun for anyone especially those who don't have air conditioners. I fit into that minority group. But hey that's summer for you.
Tuesday I got my hair tidied up. I've got to say going to the hairdressers is so calming, there is something about the smell of them or at least mine. 
Wednesday night I went to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at Her Majesty's theater with my family. It was one of the best experiences I have had to date. The show and the cast were fantastic, I'd recommend going to see it if you get the chance. The five words I'd use to describe it would be: Fantastic, Fireworks, Set, Brilliant, Dogs. Anymore and I'd give the whole thing away. I'm on the right with my sister on the left.

Friday, I was back doing things with my youth group. This week we went to the pool and had our new year pool party. Two of my youth leaders got married at the beginning of the year and I was absolutely shattered that I couldn't go to their wedding because I was away. I also got the iPad my school is letting be borrow from them (all yr12's have the opportunity to get one). Even though I have to give it back on October the 22nd, I love having it.

 My Dad is in the middle of moving the location of his business to a studio in our backyard that is still not quite finished even though he has moved out of his old work shop. He is in a state of limbo at the moment with all of his time being spent moving stuff and organising it.

Less notable things: I cleaned my room and saw my aunt on Saturday. I had my uncles birthday lunch on Sunday which was as dramatic as always, I've been sick and have had a surprise blood test. And have yet to have a full day of school this week and will not until next Wednesday. Happy days. Tomorrow I have only 2 periods of class, though I do have an Oral Presentation (bummer). Friday I have no class as we have a seminar at a near by Uni.
I hope you are all doing well. I'd love to hear about what you have been doing over the past week.

Until next time,
Liana xx

P.S Happy Valentine's Day or as it should be called Singles Awareness Day.
