I’m just going to launch straight into it. Most of my blogs lately have been rather rant-ish so I decided that I needed a “nice” blog. Anyway, this is basically just a big bunch of pictures of what makes me happy at the moment.

Actual mail in the mail from Google. They could’ve just sent me an email but instead I got actual mail. I love getting mail, and if its $100 free adwords that’s even better! I only use adwords when I’ve got promotional or free credit so this was a nice bonus. I took out my address so any would-be stalkers are put at bay.

Going on a Media Studies trip the TV studios (where my dad works) and being in the studio when they filmed the live midday news broadcast then hanging out on Queen Street at the Skycity Metro (a big entertainment complex) then just being douches with friends. Big ups to you if you can figure out which one is me ![]()

Trips to Europe. Just kidding, make that photoshopped trips to Europe. It all started because Arlette, one of my friends; is going on some big tour of Europe and Renee & I decided that our trip to Europe was going to be so much better. Then it just turned into this fun project we did in the holidays; we had a big photoshoot day in my back room/spare room/computer room/used electronics warehouse. The “trip” included London, Paris, Rome, Venice & a few other places.

Being in Zen mode, doing the lotus position with goop on my face and cucumbers on my eyes. This was at a friends birthday party; granted it was last November, but too bad. Paige & I wisely chose the wash off face goop, while some of our other friends chose a “peel-off mask” which made them look like shiny, sweaty mexicans (only because of the colour it turned their skin) until they peeled this weird pseudo-plastic film looking residue off their faces.

Icing cupcakes to look like animals. This one is a mouse. Awhile ago I made some cupcakes for the Animal Welfare bakesale. They were cats with liquorice whiskers and frogs with marshmallow eyes. This mouse was just something I did, because whenever I have sleepovers somehow we all end up icing cupcakes…

Having a squee! moment because Taylor Swift is less than 10m away from you at her concert and when she ran past, your hand was so close to hers you could feel the body head of it (sadly, I just missed out on touching her hand). She is honestly so pretty and sounds exactly like she does on the radio.
But yeah, that’s my happiness sorted for awhile. I added some Photoshop Retouching tutorials. I’m working on expanding my tutorials section because apart from my “10 Things” section that gets the most visits.
What makes you happy?

Yay! I like happy blogs!!!
Mail from Google? I’m slightly jealous! Hahaha!
That’s so awesome about Taylor Swift! I’m not going to lie, she’s (very) secretly one of my favourites to singalong to in the car…
Aww yay!! I got that same mail the other day! Although, I haven’t used Google Ads in forever…
That trip looked like fun! And I’m taking a wild guess that you’re on the far left, behind the girl in front?
Lol, that’s totally awesome! Omg…I just loved that idea! Are any of the other photoshopped trip pictures up?
That mouse cupcake is too cute! All I’ve iced are the swirls on top of cupcakes…I’m so uncreative. >.<
I like some of Taylor Swifts songs…but I’m not entirely a huge fan…xD I looooove Carrie Underwood though!
My boyfriend
Aww this was a lovely blog! Unfortunately I get no ‘ups’ as I can’t tell which one’s you, although I can make a pretty good guess?
I love the trips to Europe idea. It’s absolutely hilarious. Your friends and you sound like a ball full of laughs and fun!
The animal iced cupcakes are pretty funny actually, considering they’re for an animal WELFARE bake sale and your eating them. Nom,nomnom. haha I just found the irony kind of funny. It looks so pretty though, I wouldn’t be able to physically bring myself to eat it!
I’m not into country music but I massively respect Taylor Swift. I’m not into the type of music she generally releases (high-school type romance songs), but one listen to “Safe and Sound” had me hooked on her voice.
hey zoe. we’re doing the design again this year, and I was wondering if you wanted to join? it’s going to be fun and stuff. xD
I’m so glad you can find things that truly make you happy. It’s very difficult for me to do that.. not that I’m depressed or anything.. I just don’t get super happy about things.
I love paper mail. Especially long letters from friends. So much love!
That photoshopped trip sounds like so much fun. ahhaha It totally looks legit on your blog.
I’d love to go to a country concert. Glad you were so close to her. She’s a sweetheart!
hellooo
adorable layout! it’s so creative!
Heya
I can see why your dad enjoyed Singapore
hehe. I was tempted to going to the zoo, but I prefer not going to zoo’s in general because I don’t like seeing animals caged—I prefer seeing them in the wild, which I can when I’m back home in Kenya 
Wow, that’s a pretty insane list of things that make you happy, and i’m pretty sure i’d be uber happy with them too! lol
hehe so that makes me happy 
I’m definitely one for hte Euro Trip! hehe. I’ve got a semi-asian trip going on over here
Love seeing blog posts filled with happy things, pretty much 99% of blogs I’ve been visiting have been filled with rants about stuff that the majority of the time isn’t anything worth being unhappy over!
I’ve seen Taylor Swift too, last year in Manchester! Had to travel quite a distance (I live in Scotland) and missed an art prelim (pre exam thing basically) to attend, whoooops.. Was so worth it though, I was like in the third row and it was amazing, love that woman!
Wow! Amazing—you’ve got Google mail! How do you get the free credit? ;)
Oh my, the photoshoot is an insanely good idea. Wish I could do it! Unfortunately, none of my friends would have the time to do it with me —or their parents just forbid them to head to their friends’ houses!
Oh, envy! That’s brilliant that you got to see Taylor Swift in real life! I’ve never been to a concert before and I don’t plan to because I’m not a fan of loud music (you know, they play it through all the speakers at the highest volume and all that) but I’d love to meet Taylor Swift.
Boy do I like this blog post!
OMG sick cupcakes!!! Gimme!
Now, I’m uber hungry… 
Did you make those? BRILLIANT.
Wow you’ve done a lot. I tend to spend my days sitting and thinking of things to do, but never getting round here. But good for you! It all sounds good.
