Leon Alexander Bell.


I can't seem to concentrate on anything I'm studying on, at all. I can only imagine you telling me in that calm, compose voice of yours.. "Chillax Jewel, it'll all work out.. it always does". Bittersweet nostalgia.. Remember how you once told me, "I wan't to be featured on your blog. Actually, one day I will be" in that cocky voice. My heart still hurts a lil knowing you're gone, but I've learnt so much about you.. I hope you knew how much you were loved, and I guess we needed to share your beautiful soul with people up there..

 Birthday love on your Birthday Eve, Leon. I miss your beautiful self. Happy 19th Birthday, Bear Grylls.. we'll meet again one day.


taken by me, on my birthday last year.

Boyce Avenue & Mark Wilkinson.

So last Sunday night was probably the best night I've had in a while!

I went to see Boyce Avenue live with Nikky, Janet, Louis, Michael & Danny, at The HI FI. I had been counting down for weeks and weeks! Danny had bought my ticket just as I left for Europe, and I'd been listening to them none stop.

I honestly enjoyed the whole night, mainly because it was such good company as well. We had dinner at Little Malaya, where we talked about silly stuff and got to know each other better. Then we headed off to the venue, where we were so so shocked when we saw the que! To think all their success has come from Youtube, proves that Youtube is the new MTV.

They lived up to ALL my expectations. Word can't even express how truly talented and precious Alejandro's voice is. They sounded exactly exactly the same, as they do on Youtube/records, which is so so rare in today's music industry. You could really really tell that they loved what they did. At times, we'd catch the brother's blushing due to all the screaming. What made it even better was the opening act, Mark Wilkinson who is a Sydney artist. His style is a mix of Jack Johnson and John Mayer, cept his voice is oh so pure. The kind of voice, I fell in love with instantly.

You guys should all check them out, if you haven't heard of them!




Perfect position where we're at. He positioned his piano facing us and kept looking straight at us!
Nikki, and the super cute Mark!

Be yourself, because everyone else is already taken - Oscar Wilde

So be prepared for a lot of bestfriend camwhoring shots in this post :P It is, after all what girlfriends do best, no? 
this was a couple of weekends ago at the beautiful Wellington point. It is absolutely gorgeous there, the water is clear and sparkly. There's lil kids playing around, trying to fish.. It was quite a nice, relaxing day :)

the photos aren't perfect. they weren't suppose to be. I love how the light shows up in these photos.. how the few end shots look like they were taken on film. absolutely love it.


new boots from NOVO!
see what i mean by holga/film like?
reminisce of our valentine date a while back :)
look at my face! 
eb and I have this thing we do, when we get bored we wander and explore and take photos.  & the thing i looove about  her is that she shares that ability to look at something other people would just ignore and go.. "oooo that's cool, that looks old..I wonder what's the story with that" kinda thing. so the next few photos are from Fanus' house. I've always been fascinated by his big, old (very old) Queenslander house. Instant photographers instict? it'd be great for a photoshoot, with the vintage, genuine interior design/wallpaper etc. 
eb and I saw this tub and straight away was so fascinated by how it looked!

twinkle little star?

My expression when I saw these? "oh. my. goodness" My fashion style is all over the place, i don't have a particular style I stick too.. I do however edge away from daring/out there trends, and stick to my own conservative style :P
However, these Jefferey Campbells are too dieeee for!
I might try and make some? :P with flats maybe? think I can pull it off? (I can't quite justify paying $200 for something that isn't Calvin Klein or something of that status)

I spent my gorgeous Winter Saturday with people I love most.
It was the best day I had in a while, with a good morning at Youth Rally and the afternoon chilling at Broadwater Park having hot chips and good music. I got to catch up with people (specially miss nikky hughes!) I hadn't seen in months and months.. and it was just a good day in general :)

oo everyone should also check out Endless Praise who performed live. They are.. breath taking. and I am a harsh critic. They sound unreal accapella.. which says a lot in this day of age.


so cute!
best friend.
iPad, guitar, 3 talented people..
big brother who never fails to make me smile!
