This just completely and utterly melts my heart.
The story of the koalas emerged after volunteer firefighter David Tree used a mobile phone to photograph and film the rescue of the bewildered female, since nicknamed Sam, that was found cowering in a burned-out forest at Mirboo North, 90 miles southeast of Melbourne. [Article]

I love astronomy class
I have decided that one of my things to do before I die is to go to Andromeda Galaxy. MAN! That place continues to fascinate me! It is the largest galaxy in our local group of galaxies and 2.5 million light years away! Which means I should start finding a way to get there as soon as possible. You can even see Andromeda with the naked eye on a moonless night, just a smudge of beautiful blending purple in a sea of stars. They say that billions of years from now Andromeda and our Milky Way galaxy will collide and form one supermassive one. The two galaxies are even moving closer as we speak. Other astronomers believe that since Andromeda hold more stars and more planets then us, there would be a great chance of life forming there. Or even more life there than we ever thought possible. And it makes sense because Andromeda is very similar to ours which adds more excitement to my next upcoming adventure!
Im so behind on this....
So much has happened since my last actual. Like a couple nights ago for example. We went to Denny's at eleven pm. I didn't even know they open that late... but we ate and enjoyed the company. and then Steph goes off and talk about my mouth. How its oddly shaped and looks like a sideways D. But that's not the best part. The best part is when she and I burst into painful laughter. And we didn't understand what was so funny for half the time but she fell off the chair and rolled around on the floor. Seriously. And then everyone else joined in later on. The madness continues on to the parking lot. Mandy drove around for a bit. Don't worry peeps, she has her license and has experience behind the wheel before. Not that much experience because it literally took her 5 minutes to go from one end of the parking lot to the other. I ditched Mandy after that. She went home in the other car. That was pretty funny. I think we should stop hanging out after fellowship. We all become a bit loco but its very fun! Its such a stress reliever after a painful week. <3
Alberto totally got me into this band! I love them!
23rd of February 2009
It’s my party and I cry if I want, cry if I want to. LOL. That really bugged Kat. So yes, I turned the big 21 this past Sunday. It was also Tim's big 18. I’m so glad to have a shared birthday with someone. All that attention and constant piercing stares from a couple dozen of people can really be nerve wrecking. Birthdays are never one that I look forward so it makes sense to cower in the corner for a day in a year. I just that strange to not like growing up. But it was THE best one I've ever had. I never had such an extravagant party thrown for me. I great appreciate the effort and love everyone exhumes. Lets start at the beginning though. How everything really started – so sit back, grab some of that delicious burnt popcorn I made in the microwave and read this extremely long blog (Unless I get lazy and cut it off halfway)…
It’s incredibly funny how I somehow always ruin a good surprise. Every Christmas or birthday, I find out what gift I’m getting or what not. I’m just suspicious that way. So it’s not unexpected that I knew what was going on. Plus Kathleen is a bad liar. Really bad. She calls me up at night and asks me what my favorite restaurant is and if I’m free on a certain weekend. So every since, I’ve been nagging her about that. But I must give some credit for performance. I was indeed a bit surprised. I was all dressed up for church (And was very uncomfortable) and quietly wait for my surprise party. I’d expect just a fair size group of people to accompany me on a small dinner. But I ended up with 28 size people at Olive Garden. They had planned for Tim and I to cross paths and end up at the restaurant, but epic failure happened. And I had to face the flashes of novice paparazzi by myself. I had a nice lunch though. Ate my favorite calamari and talked to many people. In the end, we racked up a bill of 500+ dollars. Which made me feel a bit bad. Which adds another reason to my distastefulness to birthday celebrations. Eats up your poor wallet.
We took a nice drive over to Kathleen’s house later on and got a sneak peek at my very first strip tease. Gag was working its way up but it was quite the experience. Watching Steph and Alberto do their awkward dancing made me love the fact that I have the coolest friends in the whole wide world – people who would suffer from embarrassment just to entertain me. How nice. >XD Our night was then filled with music, dancing, laughter and CAKE! OMG… I can’t believe I got caked for the first time. I’ve performed them numerous times but always have avoided the crossfire. But man, it all started with Tiff. She sat across from me and I eyed her down. Asking for some sign of approval of my initial thoughts and she did approve. So I went in. Got Tim good. But bad karma had rebound back to me and Steph face planted my from behind seconds later. And world war three began. It wasn’t as bad as I thought though. I always figured it was devastating but no the worst.
Oh man… here where I’m getting lazy … There are all these other funny events that happened but my tolerance is low. Stuff like Judy’s crazy dancing are for another time.
But on Monday, we went to Naan and Curry and enjoyed a pleasant dinner together. We messed around with Neilson for a while.
And then on Wednesday night, when I got home, I was bombarded with a wall of balloons. And some creepers lurking at my window. They spooked my twice that night. I think we’ve accustomed a new tradition… Man, I wish I could write more…

The Illusionist..
premonitions calls her name
a figment of your imagination
misconception and deception
a ghost of delusion...
Mirrored // Finally something new... I still have a whole list of stuff I want to do, but I just never find the time. Sucks. But this series was done on a whim - I was reading by the window and saw how shadows played across the room. INSPIRATION! I just hope no one was watching from the outside....
Ohmygosh... I can't take these fourteen hour days anymore. Work and school, back to back, in a full day. Its so exhausting. I really do come home at 10:30 at night and just go straight to sleep. There were times when I didn't even bother to shower. And I wish I didn't sound so annoying with my complaints, but I can't help it. I'm keeping it strong for now but I'll be dead around midterms and rotting by finals. Remember to say nice things about me at my funeral - And don't cremate me!!
