crown me with flowers

Today, I have managed to procrastinate with photography. Not good, however, I will now resume study as soon as I post this. Lately, I have been greatly interested in flower crowns and accessories, and after being disappointed at the miserable range of flowers at Spotlight, I didn't end up embarking on the DIY Flower Crowns bandwagon. However, I will be looking online for some good sites which sell good quality faux flowers - does anyone have any recommendations?
For these photos, I stole my younger sister's flower crown she put together with mum with the nicest flowers they could find at Spotlight. I'm wearing a white dress my mum sewed using vintage lace fabric for the skirt.


Unfortunately at the moment I have only been using VSCO Cam to edit my photos which is a mobile app, and does not keep the HD quality of my nikon d90 photos. I still have yet to learn how to use photoshop. Possibly in the future I might re-edit these photos so they're better quality. 

My driving lesson went surprisingly well, I learnt how to reverse parallel park! 
Anyways, I've procrastinated enough for now!

trip to the park

Yesterday, my cousin came to visit my sister and I with her sister in law and the first hour of the visit consisted of a heated talk and ramble of the latest movies, cast line ups of movies-to-be and whether certain movies were worth the 2 hour sit. It wasn't long before my sister mentioned "Now You See Me", a movie encompassing a bank circus act if you like, who steal money from banks without keeping a single cent for themselves. As we were going to set up the movie (my cousin hadn't seen it) dad insisted we go outside since the weather was so nice.

We ended up walking to a childhood park of mine called "Wattle Park" which, if you have hay fever, is the land of watery eyes and snuffy noses. We walked here and there and noticed how all the play equipment had shrunk a little since we'd last been. I had also developed a small sense of insecurity being 2 meters from the ground on the wooden boardwalk. How times have changed.

Here is a photo taken on what I like to call the dinosaur eggs of Wattle Park. And some patent leather Doc Martens.

After our little adventure, I realised  that I should be getting outside a bit more than I have been.
Other than that, today has been semi productive, but not in the educational way. I've put off the growing mound of unseen lectures from uni and instead cleaned out my room for Spring. The previous clutter of the room had deterred me from proper study, so now there shouldn't be any excuses for a friendly study environment! Tomorrow is a busy day as I have a driving lesson (about time I seriously think about getting my P's), tutoring maths for a student and violin lesson. I'll also be making a start to uni work seeing as I have one last midsemester test remaining!

frankly frankie and smoothies

After completing most of my midsemester tests, I found myself inclined on purchasing a little something to cheer me up and celebrate the short but sweet two weeks of bliss before another Biology midsem. What did I resort to? Frankie. It had me at Doctor Who and peanut butter reviews.
Not only that, I have been wanting a camera for much longer than a year now and my younger sister happened to receive a package in the mail today encasing her brand new Lumix gifted from father. I suppose it was a late birthday present but the whole event caused me to go into a little stooper so I hijacked dad's SLR and after being more than happy on how my photo turned out, I think this will be happening a lot more often.

Apart from cameras, envy and stress, the Science Ball is soon approaching and the theme is "Ocean". Sophie and I were thinking of going with matching costumes, and Mum's currently thinking of ideas. Does anyone have any thoughts?

*Update*
My computer decided to crap out yesterday and wouldn't allow me to upload photos onto blogspot. So in that amount of time between yesterday and now, I've also made raspberry smoothie topped with my homemade maple granola and berries.
