May 26: My week on Instagram

Hello,

I have been a little bit absent this week, not out of my own free will but because school has sort of taken over my life for a little while. I am coming up to the end of this semester so I have a lot of essay to write and assignment to hand it and I am also in the middle of writing an English speech, and to make matter worse none of them are fun. That being said it probably won't change over the next few weeks, so hang in there, there will be posts when I can.

So without further ado I present my week on Instagram.

1. Monday night bath with a lush fizzbanger. Loved it.

2. Honey and cinnamon face mask with my sister complete with towel turban.

3. Waiting at the doctor's on Thursday night. Jeans & ankle booties.

4. Homemade pumpkin risotto 

5. A late night cup of tea

6. Boots & jeans on the train to the CBD.

7. Girls night in with my sister painting nails and watching She's the Man

8. Sunday morning breakfast of cinnamon toast and coffee

Until next time

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

Feb 4: Frustrations

OIJWEFIOWVJFWEOHWFOHI!!!!!!
If you are wondering what that up there is, it is a scream of frustration.
Let me ask you something, do you find that all the good guys are already taken or are gay?? because it is certainly my problem.
It turns out that the cute new guy from my English class is taken. Just my luck. Oh well, there's nothing I can do.
However there are a number of things to look forward to this week. Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut which is fantastic. I love getting my hair cut. Wednesday I'm going to go see Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang with my family. and then on Friday my youth group starts back up, I'm so excited to see all my friends from there again. So theoretically it should be an exciting week. Though knowing the fates something will go wrong.
Sidenote: I'm painting my nails while writing this, they are now a gorgeous maroon red. The colour is called Epicurean and it's by Sparitual.

Until next time,
Liana xx

Feb 1: Don't cry over spilt... pasta?!?

So the past couple of days have been really full on, but first of all Happy February!!
Yesterday was my last first day of high school which was kind of scary but really awesome at the same time. I got lost a few times on my way to new class rooms and met some new people who have just transferred to my school, one of them being this really cute guy in my english class but shh.
I've already go homework and it's only been two days including a test on Monday, yay!

But right now I'm going to get stuck into the weekend.

But the real reason this post is going up today is because from about six last night to ten thirty which is like four hours!! We had no power which made cooking so hard but luckily we have a gas stove. We had about fifteen candles lit in our house including a few in my parents new en suite. We didn't burn the house down which is a good sign.

Cooking by Candlelight

But of course the first thing I did while cooking dinner was to take a picture of my sister cooking and put it on my instagram (at)lianam216

Today was also pretty dramatic. As last night we had issue with the power this morning was really rushed and I had to go to school without makeup on, not even mascara which is something I hardly ever do.
I had to look after my baby brother to night and while I was getting my dinner ready he accidentally dropped his bowl of pasta on the ground and spilt  it everywhere. He burst into tears and stood there crying. It was heart breaking. I felt terrible and it wasn't even my fault. Me and the dog cleaned up the mess and I made him more food (toast pizza) and everything was good.
It reminded me that sometimes we get worked up over little things, when say emotions are running high or you're hungry or tired, that are really not that big which not only has it had an effect on you but also people around you without you realizing.

Until next time,
Liana xx

Jan 30: Bechdel

Today was the introduction for year 12 and by introduction I mean I had to go to school for an interview with a teacher who won't be my homeroom teacher to talk about my goals for the future and the year and to get my timetable, which they made a mistake on, and to get my locker number.
On top of that I had to be there at 8:45 to drop off my brother for his first day.

Chocolate Cake

Okay so I guess it wasn't all bad, I made a chocolate cake with my sister and her bestfriend, complete with chocolate glaze icing Yum! (pictured), as well as watching one of my favourite Drew Barrymore movie Ever After. No matter how cheesy it is, it always puts me in a good mood. There is something about a good chick flick.
Last night I was watching a Ted talk (linked) about movies and what they are teaching the children of today. Anyway in the talk he was speaking about the Bechdel Test which asks three questions assessing the female characters in a film.
1) Are there at least two women who have lines?
2) Do they speak to each other?
3) Do they talk about something other then men?
So basically two women who speak to each other about stuff. I think it's quite sad that the list of films I can come up with is very limited but I found it very fascinating. It explains it more in the video.

And dad might also have called up to ask if we were all free to go to see Chitty Bang Bang in a week, which is fantastic as I haven't seen a professional stage show in ages. I'm super-duper excited.

Until next time,
Liana xx
