My very first nail art tutorial on YOUTUBE

Dear Mum,

This is my very first nail art tutorial that I posted on Youtube! I've been meaning to do this for a while but I've been too busy (I know, excuses) but today I made time to do it and I feel really happy :)

I had an extremely productive day today. I didn't sleep much last night- ended up sleeping at 3am because of the amount of coffee I consumed and was wide awake at 9am. On my day off! So I went and washed and vacuumed my car, changed my bed sheets, did the laundry, did some skincare/mini facial, worked on my tax assessments, filmed my tutorial and managed to squeeze in some shopping as well (in half an hour I did more damage than I did this whole month!).

So in between my busy day, Gia was really helpful. He had a day off due to parent teacher interviews, so he stayed at home in his Pjs being a lazy bum. Until I saw this:

My lunch, he made it and before I could eat it he already gave me the bill >< But he was sweet ♥♥ He needs to work on his handwriting though. It's atrocious!

I found these awesome cabbage flowers when I went shopping:

I was so tempted to buy it but I already have enough flowers at home at the moment ><


We all miss you mum. Gia started crying not too long ago because he wants a hug from you :( Miss you like crazy!u


Love you always,


Your daughter Anna ♥

Youth group kiddos

Dear Mum,

Don't you find them just adorable?! This term it's all about songs so I taught them this nifty one which they can easily remember in a heartbeat!

They are just too cute arent they. I just got some videos of Quoc singing. My favourite one is him singing "We are Australian". He sings and does the sign language for it too. So adorable!

Love you always,


Your daughter Anna ♥

Talking about..

Dear Mum,

On Thursday I saw someone wearing a balaclava looking inside a jewelry store- Prouds. I looked around and thought to myself, why isn't anyone finding this man suspicious at all?! Then I walked closer and realized that he wasn't wearing a balaclava after all. He was just extremely dark skinned.

I guess I need new glasses.

Talking about glasses I can't find my pair anywhere. I've misplaced it somewhere and it's so inconvenient, especially driving in the dark.

Talking about driving in the dark I drove to and from rosebud-ish today. I got home at around 1am after taking home the sick wifey, poor thing. I concentrate better at night when it's raining because I'm more careful than ever.

Talking about being careful I've destroyed two of my nice pants with nail polish :( it never usually happens to me but I'm getting butter fingers these few weeks. I think I need a holiday.

Talking about going on a holiday Curtis and Darryn are going on a long trip in a few days. I'm jealous but I'm happy that they're traveling and is able to tick something off their bucket list of things to do. Well I think so. They will be missed.

And finally talking about being missed, I really miss you mum. Sometimes I don't understand why you're just not here anymore.


Love you always,


Your daughter Anna ❤

Happy Mother's Day

Dear Mum,

Boy to the florist: "Are you busier on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day?
Florist: "Definitely Mother's day. Everyone has a mother but not a lover."

Not everyone has a mother.

Mothers who have passed away. Mothers who have divorced their own children. Mothers who had no choice but to give away their children since birth. The children not knowing who their mother is.

I'm just glad I have known who my mother was, who loved me unconditionally and gave me all the love and care she could give. Mum, I thank you so much.

Thank you for:

• being there for me when I needed you the most
• cooking me my favourite meals
• buying me little things that make me happy
• bringing me up in the right path
• taking care of stupid things I have done
• laying out a pathway to give me a better future
• nurturing me to become a better person
• teaching me how to cook and clean
• lecturing me about typical males
• having dnms and gossip sesh in the car to n from work
• taking me to and from school and the station
• giving me driving lessons even though you thought you were gonna have a heart attack
• being overprotective (to an extent)
• buying me a bike for my birthday when I was 7 even though we lived in a flat
• taking me to piano lessons though I didn't like it

Thank you for being you, a mother, a friend, someone who I could lean on.

I wish I could see you face again, see you smile, hear you laugh, feel your presence, give you a hug, a kiss, hop in the car and go to work together, bring happiness to people around us.

I wish I could do a simple thing, like go shopping to buy you a present for Mother's day. 

Love you always,

Your daughter Anna ♥
