in a world full of lies, left with a burdened soul

Who seriously doesn’t love harry potter? I have been such a harry potter fan since the very first movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone came out, and I am delighted that the whole book collection are made into movies. Not only are the books an amazing read but the movies are quite extraordinary with all its high definition graphics and advanced filming techniques used in the movie itself. A few days ago while lounging around my home; I was watching an episode of Ellen DeGeneres where she was at the opening of the new Harry Potter theme park in America. I literally dropped dead and was screaming in amazement as she entered the theme park and paraded around the replicated set of Hogwarts. The whole theme park was the exact replica of Hogwarts, the Towns, the lolly/magic shop, the wand store and even the school; they even had a machine that produced beer butter! OMG i would love to try it, even though it sounds disgusting but it looks like butter scotched warm milk drink ... pretty yummo. They even had some characters dancing and prancing along the walkways like in the real movies. It was seriously the best thing I’ve seen in my life and im dead set excited to go in years to come. I love Harry Potter and I am definitely making a life goal to visit that theme park!
Another Harry Potter newsflash is the very last movie; the Deathly Hallows! It’s still in the works and is very well coming out real soon and im hella excited. Call me geek nerd loser or whatever but omg I love harry potter and i cannot wait for the last movie to come out. I do hope it isn’t as rushed as the last movie as they completely left out heaps of good bits and fast tracked into the movie way too quickly. The best one in my opinion is Goblet of fire as that was when they all matured and all the drama ‘have to kill Voldemort so let’s build an army force’ began happening. Enough with the Harry potter saga, finishing off right now with another little thing, Harry Potter totally owns twilight hands down, and no questions about it. I’m just sorry Edward but you got nothing on Dumbledore.

It seems like the misery of school work is over as exams have finally come to an end. Therefore posting will now be regularly than before. Lately nothing exciting has been happening except for all the talks about formal. The one day of the school year that most year 12's look forward to is their very own formal, but some how i do not feel any exciting urges for it. I would rather not go as i think its a waste of money and time. However, i have to go as i have been asked and agreed to it in sheer delightlness. Never knew that formal dress shopping would be this hard as of now i have less than 8 weeks to find one, im sure i will find the perfect one in time if i wasnt so lazy and got out there to look. I also met some crisis, as i have recently found out i have some scars on the back of my shoulders that arent very appealing. I need to find alternatives to get rid of them or else i shall not go formal. Its so distressing and bloody annoying to have these scars as i know it will be impossible to get rid of. any helppp ? as of now im trying a lot of creams and aloe vera treatment to help even up the scar colours to suit my own skin so hopefully it works or else im doomed. ON a side night leaving lovely pictures of me at my school social which was held.

On the 5th of June, Corinda State Highschool celebrated its 50th anniversary with an open day. During this period leading up to this eventful day, my fashion class had been busy designing, creating and sewing our very own wedding gowns to display at the 50th anniversary showcase. I was place into the group cosisting of Raina and Jose, might i add it was a pleasure working with them even though we did not meet eye to eye, coming up with a mermaid/fan inspired gown that was a success. The day started off with each models parading the gowns outdoors and walking around the school awing people. A stage was then provided for the desinger and gown to be paraded upon the stage itself which was such a highlight for people to witness our very own designs. This was a spectacular day and hopefully more works to come in the near future.

this post was meant to be sent on the day it happened though i did not have time to come around in posting it up.

happy birthday tyna my love, as she celebrated her life in this world of 17 years.

we went off to a luncheon at landmarks a place in sunnybank that serves yumcha food. it was lovely to share meals and chit chat amongs the table. we then proceeded to a pool place that had great music and atmosphere , though i do say that it was not my cup of tea as i do not like playing nor interacting in pool. then it was time to head off to the city were i found great jewelry bargains i could not resist and just had to buy as i am such an impluse buyer (mind you they were only $2 for a bunch)

Shoutout to tina and anna that are featured in the photos.

My clothing is a vintage marbled dye dress by harper, that i brought at a small boutique shop in god knows where for only $20! im addicted to its colour and the lightness of the dress.

fashion teacher: do you do art?

me: yes

fashion teacher: then you should be able to draw the garment well

me: err, i do more of collages than drawing cause im not good at drawing

fashion teacher: *gives a wierd face (probably thinking, you do art so why cant you draw)

This was after my teacher had looked through my fashion folio to criticise my so called amateur sketches of my wedding dress design. She even had the decency to lay out everyone elses drawings to compare how bad my one is too theres.

seriously where does my fashion teacher get off, stereotyping what art is. that my friends has brought me to this conclusion that society is so fixated on the fact that artists are all good at drawing. WRONG ! not all artists can draw well and definitely i cannot draw well. if art was all about drawing objects and potraits well then wouldnt our earth be a lot less interesting with nothing unusual to look at or no admiration for those who rebell against the notion of art! seriously, everyone needs to relax and stop being such perfectionists in this modern age cause not eveyrone can draw like bloody picasso and van gough.

turn of the screw

I have not posted in may yet so i must.

Recently a trend that has caught my eye is using the technique of shredding, ripping and tearing into fabric to create a daggy, drapped holed look. It's actually appealing to the eye and creates a new dynamic to a garment, especially if you have holes in your garment you can turn it into a new look. not bad righttt (pun total failure)

Cheap Monday: Is a brand that has really included this type of technique in their garments and especially to their singlets, i wouldnt actually buy them as they cost more then my months wages but i do wanna make them myself. Simple and effective for a birthday gift i'd say.
