I Call Sydney Home

After a few days of rain, I took advantage of a little bit of sunshine that appeared one day and headed into the city for photography session. I packed up my DSLR camera and caught the train to Circular Quay where I took photos of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and surrounding buildings. Those who know me well know that I really enjoy photography and will happily snap away for hours. I sat on a bench watching other people walking around taking photos and the boats going by and thought about how much I love this city. I was born and brought up here and it is one of the most beautiful places ever, There is so much to see and do here - a diverse range of restaurants to dine at, tourist attractions, cinemas, theatres, beautiful gardens, parks and buildings. I love walking around the city pretending to be a tourist taking photos in front of the iconic landmarks and looking in all the shops. Whenever any of my friends and family from other states and counties come here, I am more than happy to show them around! As I said, I have lived here all my life so I can't compare Sydney to any other state or country, but there is nowhere else I would rather be. I can't imagine living anywhere else but hey, who knows? One day I may have to move interstate or overseas but wherever I go, Sydney will always be my home and will hold a special place in my heart! :)

This is a column I wrote for Dolly Magazine. It was published in their December 2015 issue.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
