My brother Peter

My something new for today isn't anything big and spectacular, but for me it's exactly how I'd like to spend my Friday night. 

My brother and I have been watching a lot of episodes of Friends lately. We have decided to watch all 10 seasons together and today we finished season 2. We both love Friends so much and we've made a pact that we won't watch an episode without the other. The poor kid, I'm not home all that often so he's the one who has to wait for me.

When we finished watching Friends today we decided to watch some Hey Arnold! together too. This is something new too because my brother let me watch all the episodes I've never seen before. 

I really love spending time with my brother, and I have to make the most of this time because everyday I'm seeing him grow up into a typical teenage boy. He's starting chatting to his friends for hours on the net, playing video games, and has even discovered girls...or they've discovered him hehe. 

I'm really lucky to have such a great kid in my life and I love that he's keen to do my new things with me. 

My brother has taught me a lot; whether he knows it or not. Sometimes I wish that I was more like him. He has this innocence about him. He has this huge huge heart that is incapable of holding a grudge. He's a lot like my mum. She has a very forgiving heart too and the both of them inspire me a lot. 

My brother Peter is such a kind person. In no way am I embarrassed at the fact that I'm learning and seeing how to be a better person from my 12 year brother. Sometimes we get so worked up in trying to be like our famous role models, but sometimes the best people to try and mirror are those closest to home. I've really taken to becoming more observant of all the good qualities of those around me. And please, if you see the good in someone, let them know exactly what it is you like about them :)

90s Nickelodeon cartoons

When I reminisce about my childhood, it brings back a lot of great memories. Most of those memories include my beautiful older sister. We had a relatively normal childhood. We watched heaps of TV, played dress ups, played with dolls, stuffed toys, video games, and all kinds of activities in the back yard too. Whatever we did, we always brought our imagination along with us, and we always had fun. 

My sister knew that I've been wanting a new fancy pants camera to take pictures for my blog (and for photo taking in general). She knows a lot more about cameras than I do so she decided to buy one for my birthday. Not only did she get me a brand spanking new Olympus Stylus XZ-2 but she also bought me all the DVDs of some of our favourite childhood TV shows.

The DVDs included seasons 1 and 2 of the following 90s Nickelodeon TV shows: Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold!, CatDog, Aaah Real Monsters and The Wild Thornberrys.

Not only did I love these shows as a kid, but they bring back all of those great memories that I had with my sister when we were young.

My sister and I decided to watch the first episode of all the different shows to give my brother some insight into how cartoons used to be. We had never seen the first episode of The Wild Thornberrys of Angry Beavers, so that was something new for today. Even though I love doing all my new things for the day, doing 'something old' today like watching cartoons with my sister made me feel happy in a way that only 22 years of being sisters can do for you. 


Mine is the black one :)
