Every Friday and Sunday, I am always back on the coast for church and youth. It can be a pain sometimes with all the travelling, but spending that $20 on petrol is so worth it when I get to see my friends again and spend some quality time in paradise. I've become quite accustomed to this weekly ritual and I gradually learning to figure out what I need to bring, in order to make sure that I get the most out of the few hours I am down there. These are a few of the things I don't leave home without when I hit the road! Yes, random, but hey, I haven't really blogged in a while and I hope it gives you a little insight on what my days look like!
1. My Camera
Well it's actually my brother's camera, but I have found that he doesn't really use it as much, since he's schooling so I figured that taking advantage of it is probably one of my best ideas yet! I make sure that I capture a few beautiful moments either with my buddies or just on my own. Sometimes I even take a bit of Video footage and make a short movie of our adventures!
2. My Skateboard
I reckon Gold Coast beaches have some of the best ever footpaths ever made by city-council-kind. Skating is probably the most exercise I get every week, so I always make sure that my board is in my car! It practically lives in my car anyway so that's not so much of a problem haha.
3. Cool Hat
I don't really know why I have this on the list, but I seem to always have a hat with my when I come down, and it does serve some purposes in a way, so eh, why not.
4. A coconut*
Well, I haven't actually brought a coconut down with me on my trips down, but it's something that I really want to do someday, as random as that sounds! It's my favourite fruit and I kinda have always thought how great it would be to drink and eat a coconut whilst chilling in the boot of my car on Burleigh hill hahahahahaha. I might do this next week
5. AN UMBRELLA
We have had pretty unpredictable weather recently, and yesterday I found myself stranded at a set of pedestrian lights in the middle of a short shower with no umbrella AND I happened to be wearing a grey t-shirt. Everyone knows that you never wear grey if you know you are going to sweat or get wet because it changes to a whole few shades darker once it comes into contact with a drop of liquid! It wasn't pleasant, but I had an umbrella in the car (which i didn't take with me whilst getting food because I didn't think it would rain yet). Silly willy me.
