AMAZING performance!

Hello the most amazing people ever! 
I recently got 20 followers and though that sounds like hardly any; it really does mean a lot that the few people bother to look at,
 and hopefully read what I am saying ( well typing, but you know.) i was supposed to post this like a week ago but then had difficulty with my phone and was nominated for the Liebster and Sisterhood of World Bloggers Awards and didn't want the bloggers who nominated me to think I ignored them because I am really grateful. For those who don't know what I am on about, check out my last post =)
So I have just had one of the most amazing week ever! 
If you have been reading, I am in Melbourne. For One Direction. For shops. For the trams. For Melbourne. I love this city.
 
before we get started, no. I am not the crazy, some what scary fan of One Direction, I like them and their music along with music from many, many, many different artists of almost every genre. However they are one direction, they are pretty cool.

 We went on the 15th, so the second night and were staying fairly close to the arena which 1D performed in; so the first night we heard them perform and just got more hyped up for when we were to go.
On the night we were gettin ready I went to get changed and my top was too big. I freaked, what was I going to wear? Then I realised the straps were adjustable and It still didn't fit properly. Ahhh! I looked in the mirror; it was back the front... So all was good after I just turned it around.

We got there early to watch Samantha Jade and McBusted; honestly, I was extremely disappointed that 5sos weren't there because I have been a fan of 5sos from the start and before 1D but oh well. They turned out to be really good and McBusted were quite funny and entertaining. It was sad when they went off because everyone just started to get into the performance, singing along and everything.

They had music videos playing in between acts, 5sos and Little Mix should have just been there; they played all of their music videos and people screamed louder for the music videos than the real open acts. Sorry.
It was louder again for the One Direction adds for the perfume and things.

As soon as the light went off, I became deaf. It was so loud. The opening video came on and somehow the volume escalated again. Then they appeared.
"I know you say, you don't like it complicated!"- Harry. It was pretty amazing. 


After a while the people in my area weren't really doing much besides screaming so I was sort of dancing but didn't know what to do with my hands, than Harry looked up at us and so I waved, he looked directly in my direction (haha "direction?",sorry.) smiled and waved back.

HE WAVED BACK!!! 

Keep it cool, breathe, don't forget to breathe.

Like I said before not extreme fan, don't have their faces on my walls but he waved. This is 1D we are talking about here. I am going to say he waved back to me. 

The next morning we went on a behind the scenes tour of Etihad Stadium so I could take pics for my dad and tease him a little bit. I didn't even think about how 1D just performed the night before, they had almost packed up besides the main parts of the stage. It was so cool seeing how it all coked together and what is needed for a performance. We got to go to all the coaches boxes, media rooms and special rooms for different purposes. It was very interesting, the place is huge and the space so versatile.
Yes, we did go through 1D's old dressing room and my friend freaked, she was so excited that it was funny. I mean they were in there, but they weren't when we went. No, no one was in there but the after mess and some stuff was still there. Sooo... nothing too exciting.

So that was fun. Did you know that they can change the shape of the field at and move the seats in and out from the field? The roof is the fastest closing roof in the southern hemisphere, at a closing time of 8 minutes. Melbourne was also the first place to have traffic lights; I think, please Google these before sharing the fact because I'm not 100% sure.

Any who, for those who don't like one direction; sorry for this post.
I am thinking of taking my dad to a Foo Fighters and Rise Against concert because I don't want dad going alone ( and I really want to go and this is a great reason) but I think we are busy the night they are in town so I am sorry Dad if we can't go. I am so sad.

This was much more fun than writing essays for my classes like I am supposed to be doing because I am away but I will get around to it. 
Once again this was done on my phone so I can't see the format properly or change things around so I hope all is well.

Have a fantastic day or night,
Talk to you all soon,
TTFN

Liebster and Sisterhood of World Bloggers

AND
 SISTERHOOD OF WORLD BLOGGERS AWARD


Hello Wonderful People,In the past few days I have been fortunate enough to be nominated for two awards by two of  some of my favourite blogs. THANK YOU!!!The rules I am following are those used by the lovely  Courtnie from F.I.F, who nominated me for the Liebster Award. F.I.F standing for Food, Interior and Fashion, some of my favourite topics and a really fun blog to read.

I was also nominated by the wonderful Lauran from Whimsy Writer, a blog about fashion, DIY, cosmetics, etc. (all things I enjoy reading about) to do the Sisterhood of World Bloggers Award. From what I have gathered, these are sets of questions about yourself from one blogger to another, resulting in a ricochet affect of getting blogs shared around on the internet and I think that's a good thing. Like Whimsy Writer, the questions are very similar so I also have decided to combine both awards into one.


So the rules are: 
1. Share 11 random facts about myself.
2. Answer 11 questions given to me from the blogger who nominated me
3. Nominate a few blogs with less than 200 followers
.4. Tag in the blogs who nominated you.
5. Tag in the blogs you nominated.
6. Let the bloggers you nominated know that you nominated them.

Ok that doesn't sound to hard so let's get started.

1. Believe it or not, I can/ have ridden a unicycle 23 metres.
2. Cookies and Cream is my favourite ice cream. 
3. I enjoy painting and drawing but need practice.
4. I am new to blogging.
5. I extremely dislike it when people choose a song by skipping through the playing song.
6. I have not broken a bone.
7.  My music taste varies quite a lot.
8. Penguins are pretty amazing in my opinion.
9.  Tim Tams and Vegemite are two of the best foods in the world.
10. My dream is to travel.
11. I am no good at make-up.



1. What is your dream career?
To be completely honest, I have absolutely no idea what I want to do; actually that's a bit of a lie, I have an idea. I think my dream career would be something to do with travelling, it always has and probably always will. I can't wait to start travelling and be able to just keep going, I am already planning my travel plans but being able to earn money and make a career out of it would be amazing. A make up artist is also in the cards, but currently you definitely wouldnt want me to do your make-up, maybe after some practice and or a course. If both of these ideas could be combined and I am a travelling make-up artist, that sounds great.

2. What is your favourite place on Earth and why? 
I haven't been to many places on Earth, country wise anyway but my favourite place so far is Melbourne, big city filled with opportunities and made up of both the beautiful old fashion styled buildings with detailing every where and modern, new fresh buildings of luxury. Gorgeous countryside and nature, whether its beach or bush; just a short tram, train or car ride from the CBD.Ask me in a few years once I have hopefully traveled the world it may have changed but Melbourne will most likely always a stay in the top few.

3. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?If I could change one thing about myself I would probably give myself more confidence and not be such a worry wort. I know that I should just listen to all the sayings and quotes saying be yourself, nobody is perfect, everybody is made to be different and I am currently working on this but occasionally I am that person that seems sort of quiet but then I try to be a part of a grpup so I try and say something but it comes out weird or like I'm trying too hard or something. I dont' know.


4. If you could be a character in any TV Show, film or book who would you be? I would like to be... Hmmm. Maybe Hermione from Harry Potter, because of how smart she is.

5. What would your death row dinner be? 
For my death row dinner I would probably choose and all you can eat buffet filled with things from meat to fish and every possible dessert. This is simply because I love food in general and this is an extremely difficult question.

6. If you could meet someone famous dead or alive who would it be?Well, I would probably choose to meet a band if I can stretch the question that far so either All Time Low or 5sos and if not a band than probably someone really interesting from history like Einstein or someone.


7. What is your favourite book? 

My favourite book currently is Divergent, I know it is an old one and I did read it quite a few months ago... Lots of months ago. I just cant seem to get into find another I get really into, I have read many others since then and enjoyed them all however have just started a new book called 'Virals' by the author Kathy Reichs, which recommended to me by a friend. If anyone has any recommendations for a good novel, please let me know in the comments below.

8. What is your best skill?My best skill would probably be... Well, I am a pretty good air guitar player if that counts; I bet you are all jealous...


9.What is something you wish you invented? 

I wish I invented glad wrap because I believe it is an understated invention.

10. If you could be any ice cream flavour what would you be and why? Cookies and Cream. Definitely. I actually have no reason for this decision other than the fact that it is my favourite flavour.


11. Who is your style inspiration?

 My inspiration comes from many different fashion bloggers and random pictures I have seen on the internet; depending on the day and how I am feeling my stye cam range from pink fairy princess to band tee's and black skinny jeans.

I Nominate the following for the Liebster Award:1.Laura
2.Over The Bridge
3.Malika Heart


And your questions are:

1. Who is your favourite music group or musician?
2. What is your favourite makeup brand?
3. Your favourite book of all time?
4.Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what is is?
5. If you could travel one place on earth, where would you go?
6. If you could meet someone famous from the past or present, who would you meet?
7. What would you dream job be?
8. What's something you wish you invented?
9. What was the last song you listened to?

Have a fantastic day or night,
TTFN,
Mads =)

I Love This City

Hello lovelies,
So I arrived here a few days ago and I LOVE it!
It is just gorgeous, the temperature a beautiful end of summer day, blue skies, shops, people and new things.

We went to the market today and they had some sunnies on display to try and stuff so I did, try them on I mean. I put them back, rather neatly I must say and as I walked away this guy said a few unsavory words under his breath ( probably ment to be quiet but wasn't) then moved the glasses I had just used around about .00005mm and said "it's already happening", with some more words I would prefer not to type following and scattered within that sentence.
Now I hope your day, sir, if you are reading; has turned around for th ebetter and you are having a good day because by the sounds of it you are not.
In all honesty, it was a kind of funny but  smiling is good, so please don't ammuse others with your misery.
(Just realised while typing it sounded like a really good life lesson, so please use this little piece of advice whenever necessary :D)

So yeah I just thought that was a funny little story to tell as I have pretty much only been shopping and exploring which I may show some pictures later when I can transfer photos from my camera.

These photos are from the landing, it was just coming on sunrise and it was beautiful. These photos can not even show the reality of how gorgeous the scenery was.

Like I mentioned in my last post, I am using my phone while I am away, so I am sorry for any mistakes or format issues now.
Have a lovely day or night
TTFN

I Have Exciting News


Hello Everyone,

I have some exciting news...
The travel part of this blog will be coming in to play this week!!!
Now, I am hoping to be able to post some stuff and talk with the internet; however, as I won't be able to use the computer I am going to apologies in advance for delayed or rushed posts. I'm going to try and use my phone, and for those who haven't blogged on a phone... It doesn't work as well, it’s quite frustrating to use, however I will try.

I have almost packed already and thought today I
would share my top essentials for a short to medium flight.

In no particular order:
No. 1 A Book
 Currently I quickly need to find a new book to take along with me, so I don't have one yet. I will though.

No. 2 Lip Balm, Moisturizer and Roll On
I am taking my Baby Lips by Maybelline as they are really smooth and creamy, moisturized, keep my lips nice and pink and smell amazing. I am taking my Lychee Addict, the name is correct, it’s addictive. 
Dont forget roll on deodorant just so you smell a little fresher when you get off; i usually use spray on, however you can not take that on sooo... pretty self explanatory why.

No. 3 Tablet or computer, Camera and Phone
 For those who think I am talking about medicine, I am not. I am talking about a touch screen, electronic device. For example an iPad is a tablet. 
I do not have an iPad, as I much prefer Android over Apple; I have a Sony Z tablet. 

No. 4 Headphones
 I have said it before, music is my life. 
Earphones are all good too, obviously, but headphones are comfier and usually give better quality sound.

No. 5 Snacks
Airplane food is expensive and in my experience not as tasty, I usually take some nuts and lollies, because I'm healthy.

No. 6 Important Papers and Purse
Important papers include tickets, you're going nowhere without them. Sometimes planes loose baggage, so I wouldn't risk losing important documents and papers.
If you don't take your purse, how are you going to pay for things? Put it in your carry-on for the same reason as important papers and documents.


P.S. This photo is from last time I went away.
If you have any other essentials, let me know. =)
Thanks for reading,
TTFN
