Here's a WHOLE BARRAGE OF PHOTOS that have been collecting spiderwebs in my camera over the past few weeks. It's amazing how photos can bring many random funny moments and good times to mind :P

At LATROBE UNIVERSITY. An absolute hole, but we love it so.

Yup, he peed his pants on his 19th birthday.

Thank God I'm going to Philip Island tomorrow.

I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done for me. Yes, everything is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake, I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ.
(Phil 3:7-8)

I've decided to share an excerpt from a diary entry I wrote 2 days ago..

Jo and myself were having a really great conversation with my parents last night. We talked about a whole bunch of things like the nature of my Dad's job, death, the effectiveness of apologetics and evangelism as a lifestyle. Then we started talking about our fleeting lives and the uncertainty of life and death...

I've always thought cancer was a pretty frightening thing to have to go through. Just cause half the time it means impending death, and the other half means a draining battle with fear and fluctuating emotions. Mum said something like disease and illness is not a matter of whether you'll experience it or not, but WHEN you experience it.

It's so easy to just let time slip past via a series of small insignificant instances. It's easy to be apathetic about things that deserve our attention and effort. It's easy to dwell too much on the superficial and very temporary. It's easy to make a big deal out of the pointless. It's too easy to invest in stuff that's just stuff.

So I guess it begins with a simple bit of mind-tweaking and changing of perspective. A godly perspective; our eyes fixed on the cross. Realising this place we're at is absolutely temporary and home is somewhere better.

Some random shots I took today on as I took a nice stroll home (:
I like walking in the rain when the wind isn't pelting rain drops into my face.

I can't believe they're cutting down my beloved tree.

I will definitely miss it just sitting outside my window with its tall, reaching branches.
It might not be the best looking tree around the house, but I think it's beautiful.
It's called a Silver Birch.. and I think it's because of it's silver-like bark that's kind of shredding all around the tree. Not very attractive. Kind of like a rugged look.

I love it in autumn, when its branches are outlined by the Sun's warm, orange rays.
I love it in winter, when raindrops just gather on the tips of the branches, like little jewels sparkling to lighten up the gloom.
Too bad it's not going to survive long enough for me to enjoy it in Spring or Summer ):
