London

Its not Lake Wakatipu and Coronet Peak, but not bad eh!!

Angel's addition!!

Well with a bit of emotional blackmail, guilt and cunningness, I've managed to convince my very cool brother Ashley and lovely sister Sasha that I should be on the blog too! Its a way we can keep track of each other and convince ourselves that other find our lives interesting enough to look up whats going on!!

So, Life in London is amazing! I love it! I have fantastic friends, a crusie job as a photographer in a studio in Richmond, I have a sweet as digs, (all with great flatmates included!) A calling I love with Stake YSA/Institue..

I do miss NZ and my fam, but for now.. this is home.

Poem of the Week - #8

The poem of the week, this week, (incase you missed it) is the sixth stanza of Keat's 'Ode to a Nightingale'

"Darkling i listen and for many a time
I have been half in love with easful death
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme
To take into the air my quiet breath
And now more than ever seems it rich to die
To cease upon the midnight with no pain
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroud
In such esctacy!
Still wilt thou sing and i have ears in vain
To thy high requiem become a sod"

Beach Goodness

so its finally hot and nice here in little ol' christchurch so we took a much needed trip to the beach,
sun, sand and mr. flippy, made for a good day......

the cutest kid in the world...

I know what you are all thinking this is where i would put photos of myself, but i am still to locate all my lost baby photos, so for now you will have to settle for the second cutest kid in the world...

his name is Hibiki kun... anyway becuase i am his favourite missionary ever (yea he is two and still remembers and writes to me....gosh i leave an impression hahaha) i thaught i will put a little shrine on hrere...hahaha, actually now he is a little kid model, so if he becomes famous i think i should be his manager or something....

so here you are HIBIKI.....

Ryo is Leaving :(

well... Ryo is here, and he has been here for about 6 weeks, and unfortunitly he is heading home...mmm sad, but thats cool cos he will be back..

so as a homage to my buddy ryo, its been cool bro.... and untill next time..may the gods watch over you..

Peace..

France

Well its been a while but i thaught that i should put a little of my french experence down...
unfortunatly as our camera was stolen, i dont have alot of pictures, but i got a cd from some of the crew in france, so here is a taste of what life was like in france... well at least the night life...

all i can say is "viva France" ahh yea....

sash's return...

as most of you know, i will soon be returning to queenstown after a grueling semster....lol
yes ive worked very hard... but queenstown here i come, the lake and the wakeboard have been awaiting me and i shall not disappoint them....luckly my new found knowledge of Childrens literature will help my backflip significantly...

Initial D

so weve been watching inital d and decided that "...everyone must find their own world Takumi, and i think racing is yours..."
and will start a drift racing team to beat all others.... yes its brilliant.

Randomness

so just chilling in christchurch,
writing essays, pretending to study....as you can see.
ive realised that no one looks at our blog as its no where near as cool as mike and chris's
but alas, perhaps we should change it to be a giles blog where we each put our own photos and stuff on so we can see what eachother is doing?
well you can see what im doing.......lol studying hard.
