Hello, everyone! Hope you're all doing well.
It's been a week since I went to watch Swan Lake. The Birmingham Royal Ballet
performed it at The Grand Opera House in Belfast. I can't tell you who the casts are because I don't have the book
with me but I will tell you when I do.
I booked the ticket at the last minute because I
didn't know about it. My friend Kaye posted it on Facebook and since I was
going home (Northern Ireland) for the weekend, I thought, "I might as well
watch it." I adore ballet and was I’ve only seen performance on the
TV.
I invited my cousin to watch it but he wasn't
available so, I asked my brother to go with me. He wasn't keen about and but I
dragged him with me! Haha. He described ballet as "hopping like
rabbits."
It was a great night! It started at 7:30 pm and
finished at around 10:30pm.
I said
on my social media post "[Act IV The lakeside] The music and the costumes
used were impeccable. I love how they wore 19th Century Royal fashion on Acts 1
and 3 as their costumes. Everything was ingeniously designed; the gems and
diamonds on their crowns twinkled like stars in the night sky, the gowns and
capes draped on the floor seamlessly, the detailed sequins gleamed brightly
and, the well-tailored tutus bloomed fully."
It allured my eyes and my ears. The art, the music, the beauty,
and the feelings that were portrayed put me in awe. It was a memorable night!

Giant's Causeway Photo Diary
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had the familiar conviction that life was beginning again with the summer.
I sound poetic don't I? Well, that's because I didn't write the above sentence. It is a quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald's book called "The Great Gatsby". I quoted that because I think it kind of go well along with this post. Northern Ireland's Summer 2015 has been dreadful and whenever it's sunny, my parents and I are either stuck at work or just exhausted.
However, the day when we went to Giant's Causeway was different; we were all energised and the giant spotlight in the sky was out. But to be honest, we just planned to go to Portstewart Beach on that day and going to Giant's Causeway just kind of happened unexpectedly.
I got a chance to climb up a mini-mountain (is there such thing?) well, it wasn't a hill either (or was it?) I don't know how to define it but my dad, my brother and I climbed it up anyway- I climbed it wearing a maxi dress. It wasn't scary but it was heart-pounding but, that didn't matter because my goal was to climb to the top.
As I am writing what I experienced right now, I just realised that no matter how terrifying the journey is in life, it wouldn't matter especially if you are focused and well-determined of your goals.

London Photo Diary
Hey, guys. I know I've been away for a while, and again, I apologise for that as I've been very busy. I have an exciting news: I am now in England studying BA Hons in Hospitality and Tourism Management. Anyway, my family and I went to Central London about 2 weeks and below are some of the moments we captured. Hope you enjoy! :)
