Have you ever taken out a picture from when you were little and just stared at it, remembering even the tiniest details of that day? In that one second when the shutter opens and a stain is left on a memory card or a roll of film is one of the most unforgettable moments in your life whether you know it or not, because there will always be that one photo to look back on and remember even the smallest details of that day - whether it be what you did after the photo was taken or what you had for dinner that night, or a simple joke but the most important thing is, you remember you. You have to remember the person in the photo no matter what because that one day when you are looking back on it, just knowing how much you have grown can give you the courage to keep going and see who you will turn out to be and to just keep going to make sure there is another picture.
Not only is a picture worth a thousand words, it's worth a thousand memories and it's those memories mean a thousand words. 


"Smile though your heart is aching 
Smile even though it's breaking 
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by 
If you smile through your fear and sorrow 
Smile and maybe tomorrow 
You'll see the sun come shining through for you 

Light up your face with gladness 
Hide every trace of sadness 
Although a tear may be ever so near 
That's the time you must keep on trying 
Smile, what's the use of crying? 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile 

That's the time you must keep on trying 
Smile, what's the use of crying? 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile"
 - Nat King Cole

PRODUCT REVIEW: Fujifilm Instax 210!

Fujifilm have released a new range of instant film cameras, very similar to the classic polaroids that everyone loves! 
I have recently bought one of these fujifilm cameras and love it!! It enables you to:
- lighten or darken the picture, depending on the time of day 
- change the focus from setting '0.9-3m' or '3m-more'
- turn the flash off and on! 
The photo is taken on the instant film, but in a landscape format, which makes it easier to fit all your friends in the one photo and capture more of the subject.
Having previously been using a polaroid instant camera, i am enjoying my new one a lot more as the film is  so much cheaper and easier to buy! This camera is a tiny bit expensive but it is definitely worth it!!
If any of you want to buy one of these cameras or already have one post a comment and tell me what you think of it :) 

I have recently been sucked in to the life of EMILY IRIS and her family. This enchanting, powerful book is set in the 60's in Johannesburg, where the Iris family welcome a family of 'Gypsie' travellers from Australia in to their home. Not knowing what to think of the family, an early warning from the Iris' trusty night-guard Buza, a native African, is ignored. The adventures of Emily and her sister Sarah untangle throughout the book and with a surprise ending in store, the book is hard to put down. 

Written in the perspective of the 12 year-old, the writing was an easy read and extremely tense and enjoyable! 

I wont do a full book review and expose the story, otherwise it might ruin the story! 

I rate this book - ☆☆☆☆ out of 5 stars! 

learning to drive.

In life, we come to many stop signs. We take our foot of the accelerator and come to a stop. We relax and wait. But many people are impatient and just want to speed of as soon as the light hits green, as though they are escaping from something but is it something to run from or hide from? is it something we should try to avoid? 
Through our eyes we may see the shortest way to get somewhere is to take the short-cuts that have no traffic lights, no speed bumps and no round-abouts. In my opinion, everyone needs traffic lights, a place to stop, relax and think, even if it makes you that one minute late or it may ruin your plans completely they are there for a reason. Speed bumps, well... dont we all make mistakes and somehow manage to apologise and forgive? we learn from our mistakes and we learn from all the speed bumps in life whether they are good or bad. Everyone has their ups and downs and nothing better to put you in the place of someone else than a round-about... continuously turning, depending on those around you to make the right choices too - eventually escaping and on to the clear road again. 
No matter how many turns you make and not matter how much you reverse, there will always be traffic lights, speed bumps and round-abouts in life. Whether you choose to abide by the road rules is up to you. But just remember, everything happens for a reason. 

let the rain fall down

After a week full of stress, pain and confusion comes a long weekend of storms and continuous rain. 
As much as rain and the clouds, thunder and lightning restricts you of doing wonderful things outside - for me its a chance to wash away all the pain and suffering and start fresh. For every time lightning strikes and every time the thunder roars and makes my windows rattle it makes me see that there are other things in life i should be afraid of but i wont be. I am afraid of what the future holds and afraid of what might be... but i have nothing to be afraid of. Life is something that many people wish they could give someone, life is something that many people have lost. We are taking life for granted, living each day knowing that there is a high chance of the next. But the day you are laying flat on your back, staring at the stars, making a wish knowing that it wont come true is the day you realise you have to fight for the things you want in life. You have to fight for your future, not afraid of what will happen tomorrow. Trust in fate and fortune that each day brings happiness and joy, and if those things are missing... look forward to tomorrow.
