August and September

My August and September in photos.

All Time Low 
This time I was smart and avoided the mosh pit altogether, and chose the balcony, getting a much better view and a lot more comfortable! ATL was so good, I love their onstage banter (despite being quite dirty!) and the little cute interactions between them. I was really happy with their set list, because they mixed it up and played songs I haven't heard live before. All I kept thinking throughout the whole set, was just how happy they've made me, and how being at a concert is so therapeutic because the previous weeks hadn't been going so well. The concert was exactly what I needed.

Cousin's Wedding 
This weekend is Sydney was very anticipated, and I was sad that it was so short! At least I got to see my family again, and of course be apart of my cousin's special day. The actual wedding day started off very early with a wake-up time 3am. Of course, this was a struggle because that is my going to bed time. We got out hair and make-up done by the professionals, and it was a really awesome experience. It felt nice to be pampered, and the make-up artist was amazing, I looked so different!
The whole day was so fun and I can't believe everything went along so smoothly, we were actually ahead of schedule! And I made it through the day with heels on, granted they're not super high but still, heels. My cousin looked so beautiful, and it was a wonderful experience to be her bridesmaid, and help her along the day. One annoying thing was my dress was a little loose and long, so I constantly had to pull it up or hold my dress up. Of course, the food was amazing, and one of my highlights because I had been on diet previously and saving myself for this day.
It felt weird to be a bridesmaid, I felt like I was in the cool crowd and knew details that no one else knew. However there were some awkward moments (mainly on my end) because the rest bride and groom party were all friends and knew each other, and so I couldn't really talk to them too much.
Also the videographer's assistant was good looking (he was in a plaid shirt and skinny jeans, and that gets me every time!), so that was nice, and he's also 24 but he looked so much older.
During the reception, I felt like such a loner, at some stages I was sitting at the bridal table alone, eating and on my phone. So I told myself to not be anti-social, and I joined the cousins' table. This was also the first time I took some shots (yes, more than one and yes, it did burn). I was so tipsy by the end of the night because I drank so much alcohol (for me anyways), and it was a struggle to stay upright and balanced. And I found out that my skin gets very red and blotchy, so no more alcohol for me.
The weekend was special, because we had all of my dad's side family together and it's been a while since that has happened, well at least in a happy occasion. It was an amazing weekend, and as always I was sad to fly back.

William Beckett, The Maine and Anberlin Triple Concerts!
Oh my, the long awaited concert and it didn't disappoint, it was so much better than I could imagine it to be. I'm not going to write much about this because I would ramble on forever! Can I just say how perfect and gorgeous these people are? 
I felt very blessed to be able to make to three dates of this tour, and trust me, I would have done all of them if it wasn't for uni and classes. Of course, Melbourne will always be the best, the crowd was very energetic and the vibe was unbelievable, and of course I had my concert buddy too! 
Oh it makes me so happy to be looking back at these photos, I still can't believe that it actually happened! I wish that week could have lasted forever. 
While in Melbourne, I had a birthday dinner with my close friends, and that was exactly what I needed, just some quality time with the people who I love so dearly. 

And again in Gold Coast!!

And in Melbourne, too! 

I'll see you guys in another couple of weeks, because it's exam studying time, but of course my procrastination will probably get the better of me, and my blog posting frequency always increase during this time :)
