:( Miss you!

I know I haven't blogged for awhile but only because there wasn't anything to blog about. But recently, I lost one of my very close friends I knew since primary school. She commit suicide. I'm not going into too much detail to pay my respect to her family. I knew her since we were little kids. She would always come to my house and hang with me and my brother. We had a close group of friends. She was always the one making people laugh, joking around and always the loud one in the group. She was also friendly towards everyone around school. Everyone knew her as the funny one always quoting 'The Simpson' lines. Just recently, I got a message from her mother telling me she was in coma due to suicide. She was in rehab getting better but something went wrong.... She was in coma for a few days but the doctors said her eyes were fixed and she couldn't breathe on her own. She didn't wake up and the doctors had to pull the plug. It's so sad. She was trying to get better and this. The worst thing is, I haven't seen her for awhile because she got into some habits, we kind of didn't talk for awhile. She made new friends and got a boyfriend. I should've been there for her when she needed me. I should've called her when my heart told me to. Now it's too late. The reason I'm writing this is because I just don't want this to happen to you guys. Even if someone may seem happy, they may not be. Just ask if they are okay. Tell them you love them. Text or call them to let them know your thinking of them. Cause that's what I should've done as a friend. It's better to say it then it be too late.

What's the difference between you and me?

I found this picture this afternoon on a website. How cute is it!??!? It is adorable! It made me think of how beautiful/strange all creatures are including us human beings. This picture just makes me think are us humans really that different to animals? I mean I know there is a lot of different but all in all, we live on the same planet, we have families, we have a home, we breathe, we move.... It's pretty cute how the sea cow is looking at the little girl probably thinking how weird creatures we are! And we do the same to them... :)

18 rules of living!

Be happy and thankful

Everyday is a beautiful day...

IM BACK!

Hey bloggers! It's been AGES since I posted on this! I thought I'd start blogging more so here it is! Alot has happened... I bought a new puppy!!!!! Me and my boyfriend named him Thor. He is an American Staffy!! Thor is about 5 months now and everyday he is getting bigger!! As you may know, my chihuahua passed away last year and I was so upset because we pretty much grew up together. Poco will always be my first dog I ever had and always part of my life. I had to move on and because I LOVE animals, I had to get another dog in my life. So here is Thor! When he was a puppy!!!!

Now....

At the end of last year, I had my hair a very light brown, but it was getting too dry and I missed my dark hair so I dyed it back to black! :)

What elseee...???? Hmmmmm, I think that's pretty much it. :) I haven't done too much! Same old. I still do mixed martial arts 2 times a week and I am thinking of doing Taekwondo soon aswell!!! Also, my goal is to save up as much as I can so that me and Aaron can go to Thailand, Japan and maybe Hong Kong at the end of the year! That's all for now! xx

Japan Trip

As you know, me and Aaron went to Japan for 1 week! It was really fun and I bought alot of makeup! We went to Osaka and on the first day, we went to the aquarium. I think the aquarium was one of the funnest places we went to! I love animals and it was so pretty! The only thing was I thought I'd go crazy and buy heaps of clothes but in Osaka there wasn't much I liked. Alot of the were expensive brands like Louie Vuiton, Dolce & Gabana etc. Also, most of their clothes were Autumn clothes and its almost summer here! But I did buy heaps of makeup and eyelashes!! I think I ended up buying like 10 packs of eyelashes. Each pack has about 4 sets in it too!! Even thought we both thought Tokyo would've been a funner place, we still had heaps of fun! It was our frist trip overseas together and everything went great! I hope we have many more years together so we can do alot more travelling and see beautiful places around the world!!! Anyways here are some photos!!

Japan in a week!!!

Hey bloggers!! I'm going to Japan in a week!! WOOOOOHOO! I am super excited! I'm only going for a week but I'm sure it will be the BEST week ever :)! Me and Aaron are going together so it will be a blast. I can't wait! I've saved up heaps of money so I can buy lots and lots of stuff! I'll definitely upload photos! :) I hope everyone has had a great week!

I dont mind anymore

Newton Faulkner - I need something I love this song!

Comes from within.

Happiness comes from within.

Lately I feel like I've been getting a little moody and turning the littlest things into a problem when they dont need to be.

I don't want to be like that. Life is too short to be worry about things and thinking about stuff I don't need to. It's just a waste of time. I want to live my life in happiness and sharing love.

It's just something I need to work on. Controlling myself to calm down, take a breath and think positive! Everytime I think about negativity, I need to just relax. Think about the good things in life and how lucky I am to be living here! There are so many other things going on around the world which is ALOT worse than the little things I think about.

I also think about the people in third world countries that can still bring a smile to their faces when they have nothing. It just makes me think that the problems I have are NOTHING!

My boyfriend Aaron told me not to let the things in the past effect the future.....

Because of one thing that happened in my life last year, I started to not think about the future.  I thought why get excited, make promises or even talk about the future because I'd look forward to those things and expect things when it may not even happen. I didn't want to be told something by someone because I'd look forward to it then when it comes, nothing happens and I just get sad because they said they would...

But I realised that I shouldn't let things in the past effect the future. I should be excited about the future and look forward to what else life has to bring. Just because one thing happened I shouldn't let that ruin how I think. Im not saying think about your future because the present is the MOST IMPORTANT. Im just saying be happy, do what you love and be excited for more great things to come!!! And who cares if you expected something and it didn't happen. Not everything goes the way you want it to go. Thats life.

Tahitian Noni Juice

Noni is an amazing tropical fruit found in the South Pacific. Tahitians have used noni for centuries because of its health benefits.

The elements of the noni tree: fruit, leaf, seed.

Fruit provides anti-oxidants and increase energy.
Leaf helps soothe and protect the skin.
Seed is rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that aids in skin hydration.

Heres the official website: Tahitian Noni You can have a look and learn more about it!

My mum first got me into drinking noni juice. She is all about being natural, eating organic food, being healthy, doing yoga and meditating! She is the most loving person and she is always so happy.

She told me noni is very high in anti-oxidants and its very good for your body. It's also been known to treat, cure and prevent some diseases! Its can also be used to heal wounds by applying the noni juice topically onto the skin.

I've been pretty unhealthy lately, so my new goal is to drink noni juice every morning from now on to keep me healthy.

I Love Green Tea!

I bought a new tea pot which = me drinking more green tea!! YAY!

I've always loved green tea but I never seemed to find where the tea pot went, so I bought my own one today! I'm lovin' it too. Green tea tastes so good PLUS its very good for you too!

Right now, I'm listening to City and Colour while enjoying my tea. It's so relaxing. I really believe that music helps our body relax. Or just any type of music whether it's some pop, jazz, techno, rnb etc.. it all puts us in some sort of mood.

So whenever I feel the need to relax a little and stress less, I either play some acoustic guitar, have a nap or listen to some nice music and drink tea!

Vitamin C Face Spritz!

Today I bought this Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz from The Body Shop!

It contains..

Amazonian camu camu berry
"..which is known to have one of the highest contents of vitamin C in nature. Antioxidant vitamin C encourages collagen production, improves elasticity and protects against damaging environmental aggressors."

Bunny Apples!!

When I was little, my mum used to make me bunny apples!!!

So I decided to make some for Aaron as he suggested that he wanted apples. :)

D&G My Collection

I bought this cute D&G My Collection today from my work!

It was only $30.00 and it has 5 different fragrances. It also comes with a white D&G pouch. All fragrances smell really nice but I think my favourite is no.3.

Better to..

R.I.P Poco 10-7-11

To my dearest little friend Poco.

The first thing I have to say is, I miss you SOOOO much!!!!!!!

You're one of the BEST things that has happened to me. It will stay that way forever too. We met when I was about 6 years old and you came to my house because your owners were going overseas. They left you and Coco with us from that day and you became my best friend.

To tell you the truth, first I thought you were a baby Rottweiler. But then I realized you weren't getting much bigger and your barks weren't that scary. You were a little chihuahua who LOVED food and sleeping while poking your tongue out.

You always loved to lick everything, the couch, my pillows, the bed, my face.... If I didn't stop you, you would go on and on, everything would be drenched!!

Anyways, I have to say that you were one of my BESTEST friends. You never hurt me or made me cry but instead you always made me smile when I was sad and you were ALWAYS there. I miss when you used to come walk randomly into my room, give me a lick on the knee and sit next to me when I was doing my hair and makeup.

I taught you how to play SNAP (our little hand slap game) and how to "one hand, other hand, two hand, roll!" tricks by giving you bread. You learnt it so well!!! :)

I miss when I was on my bed, you would come and tell me you wanna hop up.

You were such a little cutie and so cuddly!!

You lived for a very long time and I never knew you were so sick! You stayed so strong through everything!!!! I HATED seeing you in pain. I know it was time to let you go..
It was the hardest thing I could do. I think you and I was the closet. :)

Thanks for always being there for me and thanks for being such a good dog. No dog can replace what we had. I will always remember you as my very first dog and as you, Poco.

I can't tell you how much I miss you. But you are free now and have no pain!

:) I love you heaps little one.

See you soon!!!

:( Bad news..

Just found out that Poco has liver cancer and a tumour inside his body.

:( He will put him to sleep tomorrow.....

I don't want him to go through anymore pain.

I will have my last moments with him tonight and I will have to say my goodbyes tomorrow....

:(

Poco

He hasn't been eating at all..

:( I hope he is not in pain.

I tried giving him food several times but he hasn't taken a bite of anything.

Right now he is all snuggled up and sleeping in his little doggy bed with towels. He looks so adorable and I just wish he was okay. He is my first dog and I've had him since I was 6 (I'm 20 now).

Stay strong little one..
