Day 24

A picture of something you wish you could change and a song that you want to play at your funeral. =]


I know it's kinda cliche, but I think if extreme poverty was taken care of, there would be a lot more cultural tolerance, respect, peace and such. Money can never buy happiness, but poverty sure doens't help. So yea, maybe not equality, but equity. I don't think anyone will settle for everyone being equal. There will always be people we look up to and admire, and people born to lead, but there is really no excuse for todays huge equity gap. If people had opportunity and didn't have to fear for their daily basics, I think the world would be a much more productive, delightful and intersting place. There will always be rich and poor, important and average, but it should never come to life and death.

A song I want at my funeral.
I don't know. I know I'm  not very creative with songs, but I think I'd like my funeral to be more about the people left behind, their the ones my death sucks for. I'm dead. lol. I'm not going to care. So something that cheers them up would be nice, whatever that may be. =]

-Deep.

Day 23

I like today! =D  A picture of your favorite book and a song that you want to play at your wedding. =]

So I know my fav. book ever should be the bible, but alas, I am only human.
My fav.s are all in the pic below. =D Please browse and see which ones you've read! Some series are complete, some arent, some are once-off books. Some authors have other books not on this list, some don't. Either way, I love all these and many more!! <3


And a song I want to play at my wedding.... hmmm....
The cha-cha. I know, I know. But its my fav. dance and no-one plays it or can dance to it, so at my wedding there will be a cha-cha. =D

-Library

Day 22

A picture of something you wish you were better at and a song that you listen to when you’re sad.





I wish I could play my sax better. Make a beautiful sound, play classical music as well as pop. I would LOVE to be able to improvise! =p That said, that requires practice, the one thing I'm not good at. =[


Yea - if I want to be sad, I listen to this. It's a lovely song though. =]

-Silent

Day 21

A picture of something you wish you could forget and a song that you listen to when you’re happy.


Sorry to everyone who now hates me ^^
Seriously though, I think who you are is largely made up of your decisions and memories, so I don't think I'd want to forget anything because it's a part of who I am, for better or worse. =]


What else?? DISNEY! XD

- Gypsy.

Day 20

A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel and a song that you listen to when you’re angry.
Righto, so I'd love to go here:


Japan. Been so close to going a few times too! Just not to be at the moment it seems. =p

For songs I play when I'm angry - usually happy songs to make me cheer up, but if I want to stay angry, then:


- Heaven

Day 19

A picture and a letter and a song from your favorite album. =]
Well, seriously, If I put up anything more from my favourite (song/band/artist) up here I think I might hit copyright! Serisouly!! So I'm not going to bother with that one k? =]

A picture and a letter... as in A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q U R S T U V W X Y or Z? Although I know thats 26 letters but still....?
Well, just in case that's not the case I'll write an actuall letter. As in a post-it-using-snail-mail letter.
Dear Authors,

I'm writing to say thankyou. Whenever I pick up a good book and I get lost for hours in worlds I would love to visit doing things I cannot even imagine - I am thankful. You ignite my imagination and lift my dreary days. Without you life would be a lot duller. While no author myself, though I must profess I did once try, I hold great authors in high esteem.
To those authors whose book's I've picked up and put down days later after reading them several times through; to authors whose books have been the subject of debates as to why I am not social; and to authors whose books have kept me up all night long hours before exams - you are brilliant.
You put colour in a black and white world. You bring vibrance to everyday activities. You inspire me to imagine a better life. You entertain me through tough times.
Yes, some of you are just learning and I have put your books down. Yes some of you write books I would never pick up. But all of you are writing, so thanks. Thanks for making life magical.
I would love to say a very big thanks to Matthew Riley, Dan Brown, Brent Weeks and Tamora Pierce because you are my favourites and I think I truely enjoy life more for having experieced such adventures as you put to paper.

Forever a reader,
-Helen.

Day 18

A picture of your biggest insecurity and a song that you wish you heard on the radio. =]

Biggest inscrurity...? 


That I don't measure up.
And a song I wish I heard on the radio...?
DISNEY! <3

Day 17

A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently and a song that you hear often on the radio.

Easy. =] Win!


HUGE changes. New life-style. New friends. New house!! Yea. Loving it heaps though. =]


Honestly!! I have a problem with this song. I love the beat but hate the lyrics. So I don't listen to it when I can, but every. single. time. I turn on the radio - there it is?!?

-Rhema ftw.

Tuesday, 17 May 2011

Day 16

A picture of someone who inspires you and a song that you used to love but now hate is what we have in store today. Win for you! Lol.

Righto: the three people that inspire me most are Laura, Louise and the lovely Ruth. =] Considering I don't have a picture of all three (have they ever actually been in the same room all at once?!?) I've edited again. XD



And a song I used to love but now hate:

Me and  my sister used to listen to it ALL the time, then the radio found it - and played it to death. So yea, WAY over it now. But every now and then I hear it and go, aw yea, thats why I loved it. =] But mostly, na.... LOL.

Monday, 16 May 2011

Day 15

A cross between this and:
=]

Day 14

A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without and a song that no one would expect you to love.

Ok - so I can imagine life without this guy, but I don't think I'd like it, and I certinally wouldnt be me without him.... ok so its cheesy and offensive and whatever. It's my blog. This is me. Bah Humbug to you! JC FTW



So yea.
I kinda accdently did todays song yesterday 'cause I didn't look ahead. So I'll just do another song. =D Seeing as you're prob thinking 'why-do-I-know-her?!?' at the moment anyways. ;p I'd do you know, a harry potter song, or a disney song or the portal song or something, but if you know me - these wouldn't be susprising. I would do a song in Japanese, but again, if you knew me thats not susprising. But this might susprise you because even though I obversally love pirates, I tend to shy away from things with such obvious inuendo's, and I must say this is prob the only shanty I like other than 'what do you do with a druken sailor'. :P
I don't know that I love it, but I do like the video, and as far as having to know a shanty, this isn't tooooo bad suspose. Compared to others I know 0.o''

Day 13

So I realise I haven't updated this in about a week. Lol. Don't hate me. :P Today is a boring day, and I kept putting it off cause life is so hectic.
But I'm here now, so let the show go on, as it must. We have: A picture of your favorite band or artist and a song that is a guilty pleasure.
Ok seriously. If you don't know who my fav. band is by now.... why are(?) you reading this? Lol.
Group 1 Crew


Toby Mac.

Righto. So now that that's out of the road - a song that is a guily pleasure.
What do you mean by guilty pleasure? A song I listen to but wouldn't be caught listening to?
Hmmm....?

Ok - so EVERYONE hates this song. And yes - it can get old fast.... but I like it.... ^^" NO JUDGING!
- well ok judge away, just keep it to yourself ;p Or tell me you love me anyways. XD

- Aussie at heart.

Day 12

A picture of something you love and a song from a band you hate should be easy right? Think again. :P

Love is a very stong word too lol. But I do love ice-cream. My fav. is cadburys choc-chip. mmmm..... Wendies cookies'n'cream comes in a close second.

A band I hate is a hard one....
This is very similar to day 2 ey....
I dont know. I have no answer. I dont hate any band I dont think. =] If you think I do, correct me. =D

- Peace.

Day 11

Hence forth is produced a picture of something I hate and a song from my favorite band. Do take time to appraise. =]

Hate is a very strong word.... but I really dislike coffee if that counts? :p



My favourite band of all time is toby mac. =] At the moment I'm enjoying Justice Crew, Ally and AJ, Group 1 Crew and a whole range of others. The song from Day 1 combines Toby Ma and Group one crew cause the question is very similar! Fav. Song and song from Fav. Band? I mean really? Ah well. A song by just toby mac then. =]
I've actually put here a song by toby mac's awesome son. He did this when he was 7, and another when he was 10, I like the one when he's ten, but this is cute too. So I put both LOL.

Day 7

So today I present a picture of my most treasured item and a song that reminds me of a certain event.

Honestly, you'd think after just packing and unpacking my life I'd know what my most treasured item is ey? :P I have no clue. XD
I think I'm going to say my computer though, because if I lost everything else but had my friends and family I'd be devastated but life would go on. =] I'd miss my computer most though because of the memories and the information stored on here. It's the one thing I turn to when-ever I need something. =]



A song that reminds me of an event huh...?


This song reminds me of a couple. My first solo TESOL lesson, the SCC Yr 12 2009 Formal, New Years 2011, My Uncle's wedding, dance nights, etc. =] Good times! :D

The End.
-Fin.

Day 6

A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day and a song that reminds you of somewhere. =]


It's Cleopatra. =] She was smart, sexy, powerful, famous and busy. I would love just to know what Egypt was like back then too.





This song reminds me of a few places. Firstly the dive in I saw it at, second the deck-char cimina at Darwin we went to and saw another bollywood movie at, and thirdly the Phillipines when we visited. =]

So thats it. =D
- Groovy

Day 5

A picture of my favourite memory and a song that reminds me of someone... today seems like a reflective day!


So this is me and my family on top of Uluru/Ayers Rock. We travelled all around Australia for 6 months and it was amazing. I don't know if it's my fav. memory, but it's pretty up there. =]


Ah so many songs. I could put here bass hunter, or the big bang intro for one person. Or I could put amazing grace for another. This one friend of mine though knows the lyrics to everything under the sun, I swear. =D I could but the salmon song here, or sangria, or mathelicious, or the elements song, or new math, or the death star canteen. So many remind me of her. The one song though, for this amazing person is White and Nerdy. I don't think there's a time when I've seen her and we haven't sung it. =] 




So that's today. =D
- Oxygen

Day 4

Roll on up folks for a picture of my night and the all exciting exclusive song that makes me sad.


So yea, this was my night. Watched the movie sucker punch. Been trying to study and not getting far. Packing the last of my stuff, raving to awesome music and jumping on facebook. =] Pretty average, but there you have it. =D

So sad songs: I cry every time I hear these. :P
Jesus take the wheel -  Carrie Underwood
Butterfly Kisses - Mercyme
When you come home - Mark Schultz
Joanna's song - Iron&Clay
He's My Son - Mark Schultz


Due to internet restrictions though I can't put a video up at the moment. I'll backtrack later. :)

Nite. =]

Day 3

Today we have a picture of the cast from your favorite show and a song that makes you happy. =] I think these just get harder and harder. :P



Righto so I cheated. :P The first is a picture that combines the fun of lego with the awesomeness of Dr. Who!! Win!! :D I love Dr. Who. Though the new season isn't out yet, so while I have a heap of fav.s the only one im currently watching regularly is Castle. Hence the second picture. =]


So this is Where the Party's At by the Newsboys. =D Always cheers me up. =] Kerrie Roberts 'Outcast' is good too, but this is more fun. =] I've included an AMV video to it instead of the original, cause I love this AMV. Anime: Ouran High School Host Club. It's old and weird, but it's good. :D

So enjoy today!
-Dancing

Day 2

Righto. So day we have a picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest and your least favorite song. Wow. They're both hard today!

Well, the people I've been with the longest is my family right? Closest is def. my sister. :) So I've put a family photo in. =]
Yea, so we were having fun, and the photographer was just clicking away. I like the relaxed feel. Though this is rather old now. =[ I have short hair and I don't even think I own those jeans anymore. ='[ But yea, love my family. We're so fly.

A song that is my least fav. Hmm.... I don't hate any songs. I don't enjoy country.. but my least fav...
OH!!!
This frog annoys me to no end!!! >=[
I don't mind the background beat to the video, but the frog!! omg!! Someone freeze him already! :p

So there you have it. =D Now you can better stalk me. =]
Enjoy,

Day 1

So: A picture of me with 10 facts and my favourite song. Righto. First one is easy. =] Second one... hmm... ^^"
This is me, my younger brother and my epic younger sister. :)
10 facts:
  1. I spent 15min editing these facts into the picture and then my computer blue screened. ='[
  2. My fav. food is pasta
  3. My fav. ice-cream flavour is choc chip
  4. I love walking, hate running, love sport. Irony... contradiction. :P
  5. I love alchemy, anime, partying and dancing, science and sci-fi but am a proud Christian. That is not a contradiction =]
  6. My fav. colour is red
  7. I don't mind being called Hel, though is horrifies my mum. XD
  8. I cry in movies, but only in movies.
  9. I (maybe not so) secretly love dressing up but I live in jeans, joggers and a t-shit, oh and a jumper. :p
  10. As soon as I get a house of my own, I'm joining docs to help look after people and getting another puppy. =] - oh and getting a big screen to watch nerd shows on! LAN parties and movie nights FTW!
  11. I can't count <3

This was SOOOO hard. I eventually chose this, cause it weakly combines my fav genres of dance, hip-hop, indy, rock, techno etc. Also, I always feel free playing this around anyone, whereas some other songs I wouldn't blast from my car in a church or at home.... ^^ My fav. song changes almost every other day, so I have a fav. playlist, but this is one of the songs that is always in that list. =] Honesly, I love everything from ABC's classic fm to rhema fm to Triple J. Everything except country. :p
I play music. I listen to music. I love music. Music is the one thing that can instantly change my mood, for better or worse. Can't live without it. =]
