Favourite Day:

The second last day of Work Experience. I know you would think the last day would be the best, but the truth is, the last day was horrible. On Thursday the 25th of June, me and my friend were rumoured to be "really had workers" across the Myer store, specifically in the shoe section. We managed to score an interview with a service manager, and were praised furthermore.

 I liked this day because I ordered an epic Sumo Salad, a combination of Chicken Avocado with Lentil Tabouleh. And it was DELICIOUS!

Also on the ride home we had a grand old time, chatting away with our temporary new best friend from Work Experience, until we nearly missed our bus stop because it was so dark we couldn't see a thing!

So yeah, June was tiring, both mentally and physically, but I managed to survive. Barely. With a fever and a sore throat to end the month. *Cough*

More Backyard Photography!

I just cannot get enough of photography, and there are ALWAYS new things to take pictures of, or maybe just the same things but in a different angle.

And here's a fun edited picture of a rainbow coloured sky

Let's get even more random, and add a fruitsalad! Because it's yummy yummy

The Shadows of Light - Frankenstein Artwork

The Shadows of Light - Aishabella Sheikh

This visual representation is based on Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, published in 1818.
This whole drawing is split in two by the oak tree, which is a symbol of life and what Victor saw as a fifteen year old being "utterly destroyed" by the struck of lightning. On the right is the perilous mountain range which is where Victor first saw his monster while journeying back to Geneva at the news of his brother's murder. The mountains are jagged and cut into the stormy sky decorated with lightning, the source Victor used to spark life into his creation. The lake is a reflection of Victor's self in comparison to the monster. The lake is calm and placid but reflects the image of a stormy sky and spiky mountain tops, the constant inner battle between good and evil.
The house by the lake is a symbol of Victor's domestic and secluded upbringing which he has his back to; a past and innocence he can never return to. Victor reaches out to his beloved Elizabeth, who descends from the heavens as an angel, which is what she is always being described as in the novel. However, there is a shadow of the monster on the ground, because the monster follows Victor around. Whenever there is light and good in Victor's life, the shadow of the monster is always there to remind him of his laborious endeavors which he has turned his back to.

Awesome Backyard Photography

I have sparked an old passion of mine I had forgotten how much I enjoyed until now: PHOTOGRAPHY

Here are some cool snaps I took in my backyard:

Frankenstein's Monster - A Poem by Me

A birth from death

With a single breath

The newborn man has left;

His idle senses awaken

Sounds, smells and sights

The giant man is forsaken

Into the darkness of the night

A fallen angel, in the depths of hellfire

Rejected by man, he is a slave to desire

The desire to be, to learn, to love

The wretched man will never see the heavens above

Bleak skies make cold nights that darken the heart

The king has killed his son, his worthless work of art

The monster is awakened from the slumbers of sin

Wreaking havoc among the innocent, from the stroke of his skin

Who can love a man born from the unhallowed wombs of the grave?

Who can save a life, when there’s no one left to save?

A man carved from rotten wood, crumbling on the inside

He is searched, he is hunted, he is alone with nowhere to hide

Ashes to embers, no one will remember

Who this monster really was

A benevolent, eager fellow

Seeking acceptance and a cause

A cause to live, a cause to die

A cause to make one laugh or cry

He had none, he was done

The created man was the only one

And so he lives on, as a con

Pretending to be the being he’s not

When he dies, all the lies

Will lie with his body to rot
