I Choose Happiness

I looked through one of my favourite blogs, http://justlittlethings.net/page/2 and picked out all of the "little things" posts that make me really happy. In doing something as small as this, I think that our world is the greatest thing that we could ever have, there are trillions of tiny tiny little things that occur every day that make me so so happy. 















Sorry about the long post! Hope that these made you smile :)

THE MESSY DESK IN THE CORNER


So a few days ago I was studying for a huge geography test the next day, and at about 12 that night, I stopped to go to sleep, took one look at my desk and laughed at how absolutely cluttered and messy it was. I am not usually that type of person, but somehow my desk is always a right mess. 
But somehow, everything on it is important, if that makes sense- it is  "corner desk" built into one of the corners of my room and has lots of cabinets and cupboards below and stuff, one of the walls it is against I have painted a bright grass green which I love- I know this is a pretty random post, but I was thinking as I looked at it, that the way it looks and the things on it kind of reflect where I am in my life at the moment and who I am. 


1= my desk calendar, I would not be able to get through a school year without this! I need it to be able to write down my activities and things like that as well as school tests and tasks everyday, so I never forget. 
2= My macbook pro, always with me! Even when I am studying, I can't help but have it with me in case some Youtube, twitter, blog or music procrastination is necessary. Haha, I also do use it for research and stuff too ;) 
3= My geography notes. Only a few of many. In fact, looking back at it, this was probably one of the biggest tests with the most content that I have ever done. So lots of notes were needed!
4= My skippers license forms, I don't know if any of you saw in my bucket list that I crossed passing this off, so these are basically the forms that I need to send through to get the official document and stuff. 
5= My apple hard drive. I love this, I have so many movies and tv episodes on here. At the moment I am loving Revenge and Pretty Little Liars. 
6= 'The Crucible' - my English set work book at the moment, quite surprisingly to myself, I am really enjoying it.
7= Puppy shampoo, haha, I am sure I have told you all, hundreds of times about my cutte little puppy that I got for my eighteenth birthday, well I need to bath him sometime so I bought this.
8= My green wall that I painted myself and love so much. Green is my favourite colour and I really love my room because of my green wall and linen, etc. 
9= A pamphlet for studying a bachelor of medicine at University of Cape Town. At the moment, though it appears unlikely that I'll get in, this is all I want to do with my life!
10= Watercolour pencils that I am using to sketch my art piece before I take the picture to canvas and start properly, I need to mess around with it and make sure I know what I am doing. 
11= My phone. I have a blackberry because that's what everyone here still has, although SA is gradually making the transition to everyone having IPhones. I am not one of those people who can't go an hour without her phone, but I won't say that I don't check it fairly regularly, especially while I am studying for any form of procrastination possible. 
12= My Lip Ice. I can't remember what brand it is but it works so well and it is one of those ones that tastes super good too. 
13= This sounds weird, but thats my "favourite pen", haha, its like the pen that I always write with, I am sure lots of you all have that one pen that you'd pick to write with over another. This is mine. 
14=An empty glass, very random, but I am one of those people who drink a lot! I drink a glass of water or juice, etc. almost every hour, hehe...
15= A couple of bobby pins. My hair very often calls for these.
16= A pamphlet for the volunteer program at Red Cross that I really want to do, I am just really struggling to find time among all of the school work. 

So thats it. And I guess, for something that is so messy and filled with things to do or school work, I kind of love my messy little desk tucked in the corner.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

So this Friday night it is my matric Dance (or senior prom) :D Over the past few months me and all of my friends have been talking about our dresses, the colours, style, what we're doing with out hair, nails, the list goes on and on, and so in some pre-prom excitement, I thought that I'd post some of the picture that I had gathered for inspiration and just ones that I really liked, so enjoy.... and if you haven't had your dance yet, maybe these will spurt some inspiration.


Love this high-neck style






This is the colour of my dress



This stunning Ellie Saab dress is just perfect!

Love these straps

Such a pretty strapless dress, and love the colour
