Starman has lifted off

I cannot believe it has been more than a week since the legend of David Bowie sadly passed away.
I remember going to get my phone which was charging and seeing the notification, so and so tweeted with #RIPDAVIDBOWIE, plus one of my best friends messaging me it. My whole stomach literally dropped. I was absolutely devastated. I had to see if this was true, I went on twitter seeing everyone posting about it. We truly just lost an amazing music legend to a horrible disease.

The first time I saw David Bowie or even heard of him was in Labyrinth, and to be honest it became on of my favourite movies after it. Yes it was a bit scary at first with those little goblin things but the music was so energizing and well written. Plus you cannot forget Bowie's bulge.
I actually only gotten into his music probably at the start of 2015, maybe at the end of 2014. I had always heard it and loved it, but I really listened to his music later.


 Only in September, myself and one of my uni friends went to the David Bowie Is Exhibition at ACMI in Melbourne. It was amazing seeing how David Robert Jones became David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust. From his musical journey to his outfits and style but through it all he wrote amazing lyrics and brilliant hits that anyone and everyone loved and knew. When we went, we were probably the only young ones there but it was amazing to see how many people actually loved David Bowie and what he did. I ended up loving him more and more and saw him as such a memorable singer that has become a legend in my book.

I only found out that my Mum's first album, well record as she is old, hopefully she doesn't find this and read that bit, anyway, her first album was actually a David Bowie album. It is amazing to see even with the age difference between my mum and I, we still had a good taste in music and see how one man can bring different ages, gender, religion, cultural background together through his music.

I also remember being in shop one day and David Bowie was playing. I was looking at clothes and one of the shop assistants was organising everything around and I said, "at least you have good music to keep you going," and she went, "yes of course, nothing can beat Bowie." She was only young too but it was amazing to see anyone will love his music.

At 69 and passing away of cancer is a horrible way to go. I have been through that pain of seeing someone die slowly everyday and it is so painful as all you want is them to be in peace and not in pain but not to leave you as you will miss them too much. I feel his final goodbye was definitely his album, 'Blackstar' which now looking at it after his death can totally make sense. But he leave an amazing final touch on Earth, the final David Bowie masterpiece, the final touch of magic from him.

The music industry won't be the same, as he has influenced so many singers, songwriters, actors, creative people around the world. He's story and music will live on as I will definitely be getting my children to listen to him. Even if I have to force them with headphones blaring or his music on full blast around the house. Just to have someone be touched or encounter his music will allow it to live on longer.

We have lost a legend who will remain a legend.
Rest in Peace David Bowie. 1947-2016

NEW START!

Hello again it has been a while.

My last post was a year and a half ago, when I was still in high school well my final year and was getting ready for the real world.
Well I have survive a year of the real world of adulthood and university. Yes I have done one year of university, photography to be more specific, and I have loved it, I cannot wait to get back right into it.
I actually forgot about this blog to be honest, then I stumbled across it from reading a friend's blog and looked back on what I wrote about and it bought back many memories and how much I missed my blog. hopefully you have stuck around for that long, sorry again.
So I thought I might as well as use this space and bring it back to life again. As you may see I have changed the design to be more handwritten and a lot more true.

I should probably update you first on what has been happening in the past nearly 2 years.
Firstly I finished high school, hallelujah! I am so glad, I only stay in touch with a few high school friends, but that will happen as you grow and see who are your true friends are.
I went to LA & Hawaii with my mum, cousin and best friend as a graduation/18th present. It was absolutely amazing. We went to Disneyland, which OMG love it, it is my goal to go to every Disney Resort in the world, it is my mission, well at least I have been to Hong Kong and LA's Disneylands. Still a few to go. Next we went and stayed in West Hollywood and went to many places which was amazing. And then I final stop was Hawaii, Waikiki which I fell in love with and want to go back so badly.
Next I started my first year on university which I met so many new people and made new best friends. Learnt so many new skills and expressed my creativity more which still can be pushed a lot more. If you want to check out some of my images, check out my website.
I also started a YouTube channel. Please go and check it out, I do a bit of beauty, lifestyle, talking, just stuff that I love to do. I started it just as a little hobby and absolutely love doing it.

I think you are all up to date, hopefully. I wanted to restart my blog as more of a thought process, with whatever was on my mind/journal/diary entry type of blog. After reading Girl Online and Girl Online On Tour by Zoe Sugg, which I love! I loved the idea of just writing your own thoughts and feeling on a page and even getting advice from people around the world. Also a place that I can go back to read in many years to come. Being an only child with a single mum can be hard sometimes as you mostly have your own thoughts to think on, so I am thinking of my blog as my older sister/brother that I never had. I hope you can join me on this journey I embark on with this blog.
I don't know how often I will post on here but hopefully at least once a week with my YouTube videos that go up on every Wednesday and then even a blog post. But please don't keep my word on that, maybe some weeks I might not feel like I need to write anything, so I might not.

I think I word vomited enough, I hope you join me and enjoy this adventure.
