Aeroplane, you fly so high.
Through the sky, clouds pass us by.
When we go, we go so fast.
The time, the earth, the land we pass.
Streaming through the air, so light.
To reach our destination by flight.
Nothing really matters up here.
Beause we're travelling, nothing to fear.
Love is hard to maintain when the relationship is wild. The woman, followed by paparazzi everywhere and has every move she makes documented, is trying to prove she's all grown up by acting a little crazy. The man, not so much in the lime light, but still behaving like a normal human being because he doesn't wish to disturb his image. They both have to travel as a part of their jobs. Liam's family and hometown is here in Australia and Miley is travelling everywhere promoting her new album, Bangerz (due to release October 4th- just over 2 weeks away! I'M EXCITED!). It would have been very difficult for the couple to get any alone time together.
I really don't think Miley's image change helped. A lot of Miley's fans stuck by her through it, but it may not have been Liam's taste. I don't know and I can't say for sure what came between them. I kinda hope we don't find out, I wish them the privacy they need at this moment in time.
I am sad for the two of them, I think they would have been very happy with each other. I am glad they didn't get married, although the wedding would have been incredible, I think ending it now has saved them a lot of hassle say if they were to do it after getting married.
Young love... Can it last in today's society?
Thanks for reading! Baii!!
[All views expressed here are mine and mine alone, I love Miley! And I love Liam. I'm not hating on them, I'm just expressing my opinion on the current situation]
I hope this doesn't change Miley's feelings towards Australia, I can't wait for her next tour down under!
There are so many things I want to do right now, but I have two things stopping me.
TIME and MONEY.
There are plenty of things I would love to do at the moment that don't have a money restriction, but I am prevented by time. I feel like some of the hours I work just take up my whole day.
Wake up, get ready for work, travel to work, work, travel home from work, do house work and then the next thing I want to do is sleep because I'm just exhausted.
I would love to be able to get home from work, sit in front of the computer, play some games, make some videos, watch some other people's videos, socialise with other people. Something like that. And to be honest, the past 3 days, this is what I have been doing. Sitting in front of the computer when I get home, trying to juggle cooking dinner or doing the washing while having some fun. But I feel bad for doing this.
On my days off work (this is where the money restrictions come in) I would love to have a fun and exciting life and catch bits and bobs of it on camera. I guess there are many exciting things I can do, especially around Sydney, that are affordable, but the effort.. Ok, now I'm just lazy. Damnit..
I have never really been an adventurous person. I want to start breaking through my comfort zones and doing some exciting things. The things that immediately pop into mind (and these are things that I am quite keen to do in the near future) cost more than your average outing. I want to do things like climb the Harbour Bridge, and jump out of a plane. I would be scared poopless doing both of these things, but they are things that I would love to say that I have done.
Don't we all wish we could get paid to do the things we love. I'm hoping that one day I eventually will be, and I'm not going to give up trying to get there.
My question for you: If you didn't have a time or money limit, what would you want to do?
I've been so busy, running around like a mad chook that I didn't realise that I missed a day! No blog post and no video (I'm still titling my videos in order though). I think it was Friday I missed.
So let's get back into it. I will be posting 2 videos tomorrow, and I won't get behind again. I hate that feeling! And 2 blog posts tonight.
I've been busy working, visiting family in hospital, partying for friend's birthdays, shopping, cleaning my room and sleeping. There is so much that I want to do at the moment, but I'm really going to be the busiest woman ever if I start doing all of it.
I want to:
-Play more computer games.
-Do more arts/crafts.
-Make more videos.
-Get back into music stuff.
-Go to the gym at least 3 times a week.
While still working and maintaining a social life.
I'm really going to need to organise my life a little, pull out the weekly planner and set aside some time everyday for different things.
I'm going to Brisbane on Friday!! So I will have a week then where I will be able to do everything without having to worry about work or my social life (I will miss my social life for a bit, but I will have more me time).
What are some things you want to get around to doing but feel you don't have time for them? Let me know in the comments bellow!
Things are only moving forward. I think that's one of the most exciting things about media like this and YouTube, is your stats go up, but they can't go down. You just watch things climb.
It is very exciting. I am enjoying writing my blog, getting things off my chest, expressing my opinions and sharing my interests. I am glad there are people out there who are also reading what I'm writing and watching my videos.
Thank you very much for your support, just the numbers is putting a big smile on my face. I'd love to hear some feedback or more comments from people. I'm not sure how to make my blogs more interactive, I spose I could ask a question at the end of each post.
What do you think I could do to make my blogs more interactive?
It is national R U OK day here in Australia, where we encourage family members and friends to speak up about how they're feeling, primarily addressing the issue of depression.
It's a crappy feeling when you spiral downwards and there seems to be no way up, but there is a way up, and with some hard work, commitment and love for yourself, you can get there.
If you are feeling down, be it long term or short term, I have written a few things to help pick you up.
Firstly, it really does help to talk to someone. Address the issue. Sometimes you don't even know something's wrong until you talk to someone about it. Just talking to a friend, a relative, a school counselor or a doctor can help.
Other things that can assist in moving upwards:
Music! Singing, writing or just listening. Writing a poem. I find if I'm upset and I listen to depressing music, I will usually stay upset, but if I start listening to upbeat, positive, "shake that booty", "make that bottle pop" music, I feel better. Each to their own though :P
Get OUT! Staying in bed all day is not going to help anybody's situation. Go for a walk, go to the shops, go to the local cafe and enjoy a nice coffee. Being active can really help getting over depression, people say because it releases endorphins or some such, but I think it's a completely mental thing. When you get yourself up and out, and doing something for the good of you, your body and your mind knows that, and that is the happiness you need. You need to be loved by yourself.
Get a pet! Sometimes caring for something else can make you feel more needed and special. Just be careful with this one. If you get a pet like a fish or a mouse, they don't necessarily have the longest of lifespans and the happy outcome you were looking for may backfire.
Do something for yourself! One of the biggest challenges with depression is loving yourself, but that's what you need to do to push through it. Spoil yourself, get a cool new haircut, get your nails done, buy a new outfit or a new computer game. Treat yourself!
Do something that you enjoy! I don't know what you enjoy, but here are a few things that I enjoy that help me. I love making YouTube videos, they may not be great, but I enjoy doing it. I love singing. I enjoy writing a blog everyday. I enjoy watching TV shows. I like working in an environment where I help people.
These are just a few ideas for how to deal with the shitty times in life, and life does have shitty times, but it can have some really great times too. You need to go out and make them happen and enjoy them when they come.
Please, if you do need help, get it.

Hope that wasn't too deep. Stay safe and appreciate what you have.
I ate something bad, I'm thinking it was cheese. I'm not 100% sure, but whatever it was, it has destroyed me.
I'm very tired and start work at 6am tomorrow morning, so lets hope this doesn't keep me up all night. Lets also hope it doesn't turn into something more serious. I want to be strong and fit for Queensland in less than 2 weeks!
Short rant post it is! I'll make up for it one day...
Thanks for clicking on the link to this poor blog post. My other shizz is better (IMHO).

It was the 31st of December 2011. We were sitting around discussing new years resolutions.
"I want to learn the ukulele" Phil said with excitement.
"Wouldn't it be great if we learnt together!" I suggested.
Alright, that's not exactly how it started, but it is close enough :P
We gave ourselves a new years resolution for 2012, to learn the ukulele. Phil and I went shopping together for our ukes, he bought a green one and I got a pink one. Throughout that year, I probably touched my pink instrument 5 times. I'm not sure about Phil, but we kept telling eachother we'd learn together.
I've learnt a few chords and strumming techniques, but I want to get better at it. I would like to start writing songs and playing with confidence.
Today is Phil's birthday and I've written a short song for him. Watch it in the video bellow!
I want to thank Damielou, the gorgeous little ball of talent, for inspiring me to get back into music. She picked up the guitar not long ago and just became a pro. It takes a lot of work, but I'm going to get there.
And Phil, we will have a jam together soon! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ♡♡♡

A great way to boost the number of videos on your channel.
It seems easy enough to just talk to the camera for 1 minute. You would think you could do this everyday for a month. But when you have a really busy day, or you're not in the best of moods, its not always easy to talk to accomplish.
I like to edit my videos because I dislike talking for one minute straight to an object. I find I get side tracked, I say "umm", I pause, I scratch my nose, I just do things that would look better edited out. So when I don't have time in the day to edit, I don't have a great time.
I got behind on my SSS vlogs at just day 6! I told myself and my fb page I would upload 2 videos on the 7th, but when I tried to edit some material, my laptop completely died (read about my poor laptop here) and so on the 7th, I went out and bought a new laptop and a table for the laptop. I had to clear room for the new table, I had to put the table together, then I turned on my laptop an had to set it up and by the time all of this was done, it was 11pm and the last thing I wanted to do was record and edit a video. The 8th (yesterday) was much the same. I wanted to catch up on the vlogs but I still had to programme the laptop, and Martin and I went to IKEA and bought a wardrobe. So, yesterday we spent all day cleaning, building a wardrobe and again I couldn't find 10 minutes to put aside to edit a video. (excuses excuses)
I want to make my videos with a little bit of quality. I believe almost all of the quality comes from the content and not having a plan for my videos is leading towards cheap content. I know you're not going to get a massive production into a 1 minute video, and I don't have the time or resources for a massive production, I just need to be better organised. I don't usually write a script for my videos. I think I might start at least writing some key notes to talk about, it will be much easier for everything.
I feel bad that I fell behind on the videos. I'm catching up now and it hopefully won't happen again :). Only three weeks to go! It can't be that hard.
The second week of Spring and I've already spent 3 days cleaning!
Martin and I went shopping for a new wardrobe today at, none other than, IKEA! The ultimate relationship test. What a great bonding experience, buying a house item together then having to build it together. We had to pull down the old wardrobe and transfer all of our clothes and other stuff to a different location while we built the wardrobe. No arguments were had, well... Moving along.
We are going through everything and throwing things out bit by bit. Things like clothing, stuff we don't use and so much paper, like letters and brochures and stuff.
It feels good to be able to create more room, feels bad when I start to think we're just going to fill it up with more stuff, but hopefully we (I mean I) will be able to keep it tidy for a while.
We had been putting off doing a big clean up for a while. The biggest tip I have for you, if you're wanting to clean, is to just get started. My issue with "just getting started" was I didn't know where to start, so I picked up everything that was on the floor or didn't have a proper space to go, and put it on the bed.
I sorted through the stuff on the bed and threw away the things I didn't need or use any more. I kept everything on the bed until I had cleaned a storage space that could house the items. So, going through the cupboard and drawers and throwing away what you don't need, or finding a better storage space for some items.
I live in a share house, so I am quite fortunate I only have one room of a house to clean. I don't recommend you put all of your belongings from around your house on your bed. The bed idea pretty much only works for a bedroom clean up :).
Also, I do not throw everything away. The items that are still in good condition I donate to the local thrift shop. I would usually like to try and sell some of the better items for a bit of extra cash, but the idea of this clean up was to de-clutter, and to be keeping the items, waiting for a buyer would just be annoying.
Good luck, and I hope this motivates you to de-clutter this Spring.
Mr Tony Abott, leader of the Liberal party, won the Australian election. Labour is out, and Kevin Rudd seems a bit relieved about this, as the result was given, he stepped down from his position as leader of the Labour party.
I don't know what this means for Australia. What's going to happen now? How quickly will changes be made and how drastic are these changes going to be?
I don't quite understand politics, but I would really like to, so I will be off to do some research (after writing this, so I look silly now, but just you wait). I get that one person is the "leader" of the nation, but does that mean that they have the final decision on a proposal or do they create the proposal for other members of parliament to discuss?
I've heard a lot of bad about Mr Abott and I would like to hear some good. What good is he going to bring to Australia being the new Prime Minister? How am I, a 21 year old female who isn't sure of the direction she's heading, going to benefit from this man being the leader of the country?
The thing that I felt separated the two parties in my eyes was, Labour is about the people, the families, students and the general population, I feel that the Liberal Party are more about business people, high income earners, lawyers and such, and they don't really care for the smaller people trying to build their way up. I feel like the liberal party is just going to make to rules to keep the little people down and the bigger people up and rising.
I am not saying my opinion is right in any way, I want to like the current PM, I want to be happy for the nation and have something to hope for for our country. Let me know what you think.
The past 4 or 5 videos I've made and edited have driven me nuts. My laptop can't handle the freakishly good content I'm trying to make and it just dies from exhaustion. It's quite upsetting. The poor thing's disk drive no longer works, it's power cable (life line, as I like to call it) resigned a few weeks ago, the keys are falling off and it needs a red bull to wake it up.
I do love my little Toshiba laptop (we'll call him Barry to make things more dramatic). He's been a great friend for more than 4 years. We've had a lot of fun together and I'm glad I've used him to his final breaking point. I'm sorry to see you go Barry but I unfortunately need to move on and find a bigger, more powerful man.
I've been shopping around for different laptops that suit my needs. I am wanting to do a lot of video editing, so I need something that can keep up with that. Almost all of the pro YouTubers use Apple Macs for their videos. I love final cut pro, but I can't justify getting an Apple product just for one piece of software, which I have an equivalent of anyway.
Primary concern, editing videos. Everything beyond this is a want, not quite a necessity. I want to play more video games. Poor, old, Barry can't handle the majority of games, so this would be a pleasurable feature. I have also been thinking of creating a gaming channel on YouTube, where I just record my game play with a bit of commentary. This is a huge want, like a really really really want.
A gaming laptop is high on my list. In fact, I can't really look past a gaming laptop. I want a big, powerful box, that won't cause me any dramas and won't need any inside upgrades for as long as its life span (a bit hard to ask as technology is always advancing) something that will still be top notch in a few years. I am looking at this purchase as an investment. A big investment. I really want to do this.
I'm glad I've written this down. It's like I just justified buying a new laptop to myself. I am very excited and hopefully it'll be happening sooner than later. I'll be sure to let you know when it does happen!
Last night I had a dream that it was the last day of year 12 and we were saying goodbye to everyone. But it was strange and different to how it would have been the first time.
Being 3 years out of school and knowing who you haven't seen again really changes the way you would say goodbye.
These people, my peers, teachers and even the school grounds keepers had a really big impact on my life and really helped me find the person I am today.
If I could go back to the last day of school and see everyone again, I wouldn't just say goodbye, I'd also say a huge thank you. I wouldn't say "we'll catch up soon" because I know we won't. We might catch up in 2 or 3 years, but not soon.
This kind of dream is weird for me, I never really think back on school. I didn't actually finish school and when I left it was really rushed and I didn't say goodbye or thank you to a lot of people.
Being friends with some of these people on Facebook doesn't really help either. They're there, but we don't really talk. It's only really been in the past year that I've started catching up with people from school again and it is better than expected. It's interesting to see how people have grown up amd matured.
The award ceremonies are coming up for the high school I went to and I'm going to go and see who I can see. Say thanks to all the teachers and my younger (much younger) friends are graduating this year, it will be nice to see that.
I woke up feeling energised, I went to the gym and went shopping, but that's boring compared to my afternoon.
The highlight of my day was hanging out with Choppa! This man is amazing. Check out his YouTube channel here. He is so full of knowledge and confidence. He just makes me happy.
We made a Kenny (from South Park) cake together!! Out of 80 cakes, this will be the first on his channel that he has taught someone how to teach in person. He made it so easy! His instructions were clear and I was really surprised at how much of the cake I could do on my own.
I got to take Kenny the cake home! For my 60 second September video, I literally killed Kenny.
Martin and I had a few slices each and it was really tasty :)
For all 30 days of September, I will be making and posting a 1 minute video. EVERYDAY! Much like my blog challenge I gave myself for August, except video/vlog form!
I'm pretty lucky it's only a minute. I'm thinking of little challenges such as holding my breath, talking really fast, showing the world my shoes. Things along those lines!
I did really well with the August challenge. I didn't miss a day! But I'm nervous for this challenge because it involves editing and putting yourself in front of the camera. So I can't just sit here in my pyjamas and type. I need to put some effort in! I need to shower! Maybe brush my hair! Possibly put some make up on! Just kidding, I do all that stuff everyday anyway, but the true challenge is I need to find about 30 minutes, at least, everyday to just make these videos.
I am also continuing my August challenge of the blog a day. I love this challenge because it kept my mind busy and it showed that I was doing something extra everyday than just work or lazing around. I'll need to find some extra time in the day for my blog too!
That's it! That's my challenge for September! I'm a day late, so I'll have to make 2x 60 second videos today and we'll go from there!
If this is your kind of thing, I challenge you to do #SSS2013 too!
