Valentines Day

I celebrated Valentines Day for the first time EVER on Monday! But I didn't celebrate it in the normal receive chocolates-roses-sweet texts and cards-go on a date kind of way...I celebrated it with my friends and that means we did something way cooler than what is the norm. Instead we got together, bought a big bag of lollipops, put them in a basket (the kinda that easter bunny carries around and hands out chocolates), made up a mix tape of love songs and hit the town walking. We walked all over town handing out lollipops to all passerbyes, and calling out Happy Valentines Day. I loved Amy's idea of carrying a boom box around with us so that we could have love songs playing all day ha ha...though after a few hours I was starting to hate love songs :-P


 We bought BUBBLES!!!



 Bubbles, lollipops and songs :-)







 "Go on! You know you want one!"



 "have these been poisoned?"



 "oooh lollipops!!"



 Time to hit the shopping centre!



 We gave a lollipop to an old lady on the street and she told us to go to the women's club as there was a bunch of old ladies hanging out there..so off we went!



 and boy were they happy :-) naww xx



 Last stop: The local radio station. We stayed there for ages. Talking out the back with one of the workers, a giant named Ruslan...he took a photo of us and tweeted it! See photo below...

Bubbles, my parasol, a nearly empty basket of lollipops, red skirt and red bag.

Well I had a fantabulous Valentines Day and I want to do it again next year. This is way better than going on date! ha ha. Bringing happiness to other people is so much more fun :-)

Australia Day 2011

Helllo hello! Here is a long overdue post. It has been way too long since I've written here. Boo. I have no excuse, I've just been too lazy...I've been way too lazy with everything lately! A habit I need to break.

Anywho let's get into the photos! These are my Australia Day 2011 photos. I ended up having a fun night. The day wasn't so great but from 4 PM onwards it was great. Got to meet more of my friends family at their family BBQ (just between you and me: I only went for the food..mmm lots of desserts :-P haha nah I'm just joking, my friend's fam are an awesome bunch!); made a new friend (A beat boxer named Sam) who we hung out with for hours, we even ate dinner with him. I love being with my friends, we always make new friends everytime we go out. and of course we watched the fireworks.

I've been wanting to try out the fireworks setting on my camera for ages and I finally got the chance to use it that night! I was very excited and I got some really cool photos which I will share with you  now. Excitement.

 My friends walking..looking for a good spot to watch the fireworks


















 Ha I love this photo. The firework looks like a comet hurtling towards earth.


















 Fireworks shooting into the sky.







 I love the light in this photo.















Looks a bit like a mini tornado haha



Well there you go, lots of firworks photos. :-)
Next Monday is Valentines Day and my friends and I have come up with a few plans of how we're going to spend V Day.  I will be taking my camera with me and hopefully will get some cool shots. Be sure to check back sometime next week for the photos.

Love Chloe xx
