A glance over March, a peek into April, and a bit about chivalry.


Hello there! 

Haven't really made many posts lately - sorry about that. 


I thought it might be a nice idea to go over the past month and have a cheeky look at my calendar for this month, y'know so you can appear at the same events as me and whatever... oh wait. That's called stalking. Please don't do that. 

But really, I am pretty excited for some of the things that are coming up! 


First of all - March! 

March was a pretty good month, with the excitement of Wafia's tour (see the blog post for that here), the meeting of new friends and the catching up with old friends, as well as uni work, and photography, it felt like a long month. 


Oh! Almost forgot to mention Easterfest! (which was super brilliant - so many beautiful friends from all over the state, all together in one place).  The days were lovely, even with the cold and the crazy rain!  It was still great!  Especially ending with the whimsical set and sounds of Tigertown - it was seriously one of the most beautiful shows I have been to.  On entering the show we were greeted by "welcome to Narnia", and in that moment, my heart skipped a beat as I realised I was soon about to get a taste of the glorious land I (will always) long to go to.  I looked around with wonderment as the dark, stuffy tent had been transformed into a land of christmas trees, fake snow, lanterns and a row boat.  I knew we were in for a good performance.  Boy, was I right!  The sounds of Tigertown tingled my ears as the fake snow fell on the heads of those around me. 

With the festival coming to an end, a crowd of people made their way to see the wonderful Jake Nauta.  Everyone sat cosy, as his voice filled the (somewhat smelly - from the mud) arena stage.  It was a lovely way to end the weekend.  





Now April.  April has been pretty great so far!  

Last week went by fairly quickly, leading into another weekend I was excited for.  My Saturday consisted of cooking up a storm as I prepared for a feast.  6:30pm came around and one by one my friends (all dressed stunningly - beautiful materials, bow ties and elbow patches) waltzed through the door to the 20's music playing.  It was a wonderful night with classy music, food good enough to be almost preposed to, and wonderful (absolutely funny) dear friends.  I dare say, that night was "the cat's pyjamas". 


Lately I have been loving having tea times and catch-ups with friends. 

Today my friend Sav (please check out her blog. It's pretty groovy) had her first sip of Sencha Peach tea from T2 (pictured below).  Today was a lovely (somewhat rainy) day, working on assignments, listening to good music, giggling about silly things, and eating so, so much food (pretty much all we did was eat). 
I think over these past few days, I have found a new passion for hospitality. That's right, finding and preparing my #wifeskills (for the future). 





Coming up, I have several photography projects planned, as well as the mini Flickr meet up some of the Brisbane people have planned (if you're super keen to do something like that, just let me know and I can let you know details).  But I am insanely excited for it!  Have a few ideas which i'm keen to get out of my head, create and capture. (I am sure I will make a post about that day!) 

But apart from uni, and assignments, that's about it. *hope I didn't bore you. 


~ Now, a bit about chivalry ~ 

I think for some this is a touchy subject.  With the population of today's society either being unaware/oblivious or having no specific opinion about chivalry at all it's hard to know whether this is the sort of thing that is allowed to be brought up. 
I unfortunately think that chivalry is something very rare these days.  But, chivalry isn't dead!  
Boys, I think you should know that chivalry is important - so take note (also that there is a point when it can get a bit much haha).  It's all the small things that count.  
And girls, I think it is also important to remember that if a guy is being chivalrous towards you - then embrace and accept it! (Because things like that don't happen often, unless you've got yourself a good egg). 


[Cheeky calendar entry for May - is an All Ages gig in the beautiful town of Toowoomba with WafiaAutumn (an upcoming, independent band, definitely one to keep an eye on!), and another 'rumoured' bad that I may reveal at a later date ;) So if you're from Toowoomba (or keen on travelling), and free on the 11th of May, then I sure hope to see you there!]




*a little extra: 

My Tumblr looked pretty good today :) hehe





Well, I hope your Easter was wonderful and that your "study break"/holidays were full of joy, good friends, and that those looming assignments weren't too cruel. 



What I am listening to: Higher Love - James Vincent McMorrow. I used this song as the title and starting inspiration of my last photo
