in my life there is a time and a place

I was sitting on my bedroom floor. Reflecting on the week, as you do. I realised something wonderful. I can finally say that I am completely happy with my life. Sure, there are those tiny things everyone picks on in their own appearance or relationships; But I am finally satisfied that my life is good. I used to look at other people and think "Why can't I be doing that?" or "When will I get to enjoy those things?". But I see that to each his own time. It's all good. And I like the way things are playing out.

I also love the fact that the big guy up there is winking at me every single day. It's crazy, but he's really there. And he actually speaks back, without words. But when he does, it feels like an inside joke, and I smile and say "thanks", or "good one". I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

wonderless

I'm just going to cut to the chase and say that Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland couldn't have been more disappointing. I've had some people say that I just expected too much etc. but I really don't believe that to be the case.

Compared to the Disney and 1999 version of Alice, this really looks quite ridiculous. Firstly, Burton was insane to think a "sequel" to Alice would work on any level. The fact that Alice is a young adult already takes away some of the magic. It doesn't feel right for a 19 year old girl act the way she does. Added to that, Mia Wasikowska doesn't shine in the role that has brought her to fame.

Secondly, the acting is second rate. I do appreciate their usual talent, but unfortunately most performances lacked. However Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway were exceptional. I have an inkling that if Johnny Depp hadn't joined the cast, the movie would have been a complete flop, with his character bringing all the laughs.

Anne Hathaway did blow me away however, she was the only one that fit into the setting of Wonderland. Other things wrong with the movie? Too much CGI made the movie a little too fake, and made me feel Wonderland is totally unreachable, total change of storyline, that awful "happy jig" Depp performs in the end which appears totally out of context with hip hop music to boot and a very unsatisfying ending. I actually prefer the low budget 1999 version to this peice of movie trash, and their Alice even has brown hair.

Without going on for days, I give the movie **. It would have been one star, however I believe Anne's performance deserves a star of it's own. See it anyway if you're an Alice fan, but wait for dvd. Most definitely not worth the 3D price.

confessions

In the past few days, I think I've become a shopaholic. I've bought three dresses, five tops, a pair of shoes, three pairs of earrings, two pj pants..etc. Usually I would post photos of my new purchases, but there are so many, I'm thinking I'll skip it. The best part is, on one of my shopping trips, I should have spent $300 or so on a Wayne Cooper dress, two Peter Alexander Pjamas and a hat. But on that day, all that left my purse was $26. That just goes to show you, you don't need to spend up big, to buy good quality clothes.

I hadn't gone on a really good shopping trip in a while, and now that I have gone pretty much everyday for a week, I'm sick of it again. Although if the two pieces I've had my eye on in Myer go on sale, I might just have to force myself to go and buy them.

Recent realisation: Febuary is the best month for Shoe sales. Most shops go for up to 75% off.

Now, with all that shopping I still didn't get those things I really need.

1. A new purse. My current one has.. shall we say, seen better days.
2. Sunglasses. I broke my beautiful vintage French pair. I hate it when they find themselves onto the seat I'm about to sit on.
3. A bag. A fairly large one, I need it to carry my university books. I found one, but then I forgot to go buy it on my way out.
4. Casual shoes. Flats, just everyday shoes. Desperate.
5. Jacket. A nice, fitted winter jacket. Wish I could snap one out of gossip girl.

After a big night out, I'm going to bed early. A first for me.

On second thought I probably won't be able to commit to that.

business as usual

So I was sitting at home, feeling a little bored. That's when I decided to make something. Anything. Just to feel like I have been productive. So I made a paper crane. It's my first one, and it wasn't as hard as it looks. Then again I did follow instructions. Make one, It makes you feel proud. Here's mine:

Here's the website I used, in case you feel inspired. Good luck xx

These are amazing, I wish I could make them:

this could be a story

I had such a good conversation with a complete stranger today. It's funny how you can just let loose and be your complete, flawed self when you don't know who you're talking to. The best part is when they respond with the exact same humour as you have, because it means you're not alone in your crazy, immature and sometimes odd ways. I'm hoping I don't sound like a desperate person, that needs to fit in to the crowd to be complete. But I kind of feel like it was a message.
I admit that from time to time, I may get little pangs of insecure thoughts. It was like the big guy up there wanted me to know that everyone is different, but different people are also the same, and it's a good thing. Does that make sense?

And thanks Nick and Damon, you guys made my day. Maybe one day our paths will cross. Just like you said.

her name is alice

Since watching the Disney movie version of Alice in Wonderland back in my childhood years, I've had this crazy fascination with Alice. I love everything to do with her. I love fashion inspired by the story. I love music inspired by her. Lewis Carroll, or rather Charles Dodgson was a genius and the history behind the writing of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is beyond interesting.

Without going on too much about my obsession, I'd like to mention my disappointment about Tim Burton's version of the book coming out this March. Don't get me wrong I'm still excited as hell to see yet another depiction of the greatest children's book of all time; Although I found out Tim Burton has made Alice into a 19 year old girl, returning to wonderland with no memory of her first visit. A sort of sequel. I'm thinking it's going too far from the real thing. But that's okay, I'll just re read the book again afterward. And it will be like it never happened.
