Hello all. Trying to get myself back on the blogging wagon, so bear with me. I wanted to share some moments from the kite festival at Zilker Park here in Austin TX from a few weekends ago.
It's amazing how many awesome stuff I capture just from bringing my camera out of its brief retirement. Lately I've been leaving it at home since I ride my bike everywhere, so I gotta lighten my load. Hopefully that will change because springtime always inspires me to take more pics.
More on that later. Let's get to the kites.
It always astounds me how many people can fit in Zilker Park, here in Austin. There are so many bodies for such a "small town".
Luckily Austin can get pretty windy & it happened to be the perfect windiness for flying kites that day. Everyone & their mother, as well as their mother's mother (& so on) gathered to partake in the event.
I had a blast picking out my favorite kites, which were usually the colorful, crazy ones. It was quite impressive to see the ones flying hundreds of feet up above, posing as a reminder of how infinite the sky is.
It was nostalgic seeing everyone determined to keep their kite afloat. It reminded me of a long time ago when we would attempt to make our own kites using sticks & string.
I love to live in a city that has fun events like these. From time to time I get fed up with the crowds of people that seem to fill the once-open spaces, but then I feel thankful that everyone is coexisting happily, which is how it should be.
More to come!

Something I have brought back from Cincinnati is a love for silent movies (Don't ask!). First of all, they're simply hilarious. I'm a sucker for some silly comedy (which includes a man being chased by a large group of cattle or the other way around). The actor pictured above is a well-known silent movie actor named Buster Keaton.

I like this pic a lot because it reminds me to keep saving more money for travelling. My mom does this thing where she adds a dollar to a jar each day, which I think is a great idea. Eventually I'll save up enough money to travel to Asia like I've always planned to do.
Something I'll be doing a lot within the first few weeks of school starting. Once the semester starts, my table will have piles & piles of books for school. It get's so frustrating being a student & having clutter.
Once I achieve decluttering my house, I hope to do a post about it, if possible. It should be so simple, yet it's totally not! I feel like it takes way less effort to clutter, than to declutter.

Here's a handmade
slave bracelet I found on etsy that is absolutely gorgeous! The shell adornments make it very mermaid-like. I've been shopping around for a slave bracelet & I can't seem to find one in stores. Etsy is the perfect place to look because of all the unique handmade stuff.

Here's a quote from a song I've been listening to all week, which is called Sunshine by Matisyahu. The song is from his new album Akeda, which I'm loving. It's a good song to listen to while feeling down because of it's upbeat vibes. You can find the music video
here on Youtube.
Well, that's it for some weekly goodies!
