SWANS VS. GIANTS / Holiday Schedule

hehes so 2 days ago, my sister's friend Fiona got 3 ticks to the swans vs. giants game and nicely gave it to me, tina, and daddy to go watch. 
Dad's a super huge fan of the swansies and i watch it with him most of the time so i knew he'd be pretty pumped to go watch it. 
We decided to go early, thinking they'd be massive lineups and fight for seats if we went the normal time. 

So we headed off 2 hours early to get there 1 and a half hours early with AMPLE seats- yeah im starting to use that word- and we got a spot right above the opening of the giant's 'area'. like the place where they run out? yeah we got the place up there.  the place was filled with swans fans and barely any giants fans and it's kinda sad because they're the baby team and all these ads and shit come up for swans. but there was this small crowd of Giant fans and they're so funny; they were all dressed in orange and dancing around near the goals.

And so we watched all these reserve matches/women's matches, waiting for the real game. And then the swansies came out on the other side and i was like to daddy, 'omg it's adam goodes' and we were looking at all these other swansies and being like woah we're so close to them. 

they were many times when the action was near our seats so we got quite a good view but the food was so expensive. like holy shit a coke bottle was $5, i could get a giant one at woolies for $3. ahahhas im so cheap but yeah, it's kind of shocking how much money they make. 

and i felt so sorry for the giants because there were times when the ball was given to them cause swans fouled them and the whole crowd was like 'boooo' and me and tina were screaming 'omg let them be.'
and in the end swans were leading 100 and something to 30 something and we went 20 minutes before the game ended because it was 10.30 and we didn't want to mingle in the huge train traffic and got home at 11 and had to help my friend out with his hairstyle/clothes cause he has someplace he needed to go today. And then i started to get all pissed because im so tired but i had to help him out but he'd go afk for a long time until i was like 'ok i need to go to sleep' and he'd ask questions again. yeah, i really do stink at styling people i should stop. 

but anyway, today i'm going to use my time to start on my bodycon skirt for my textiles formal dress. i've already got the bodice done and i was talking to lily on the train on friday and she was helping me design the bodice with the studs so we - well mostly lily cause she has such good ideas- created this bodice design that would suit the detached collar so I really can't wait to finish everything. 

I searched up this wonderful youtube diy guru who created this diy maxi chiffon pleated skirt which im going to use to make the waterfall skirt but it'll be kind of hard becaue i have to tweak it a bit and it might not turn out the way i wanted it to. So, during this week, i will be going to lincraft and buying cheapcheap chiffon or fabric that is pretty thin and make a draft one first and if it works out it'd be doing the same for my turquoise chiffon. 

really pumped for the holidays because i want to do as much diying as i could and get my formal design going. plus tina and me would be going on lots of food outtings so i will have loads of food pictures :DDD YAAAAAAY. ahahas i really do need to post them up here though, i haven't posted up food in such a long time.
