Whitney Port and her words of wisdom about/for fashion internships:Name: Whitney Eve PortAge: 21Hometown: Los Angeles, CAHigh School: Crossroads H.S.College: USC
I was previously working at Women’s Wear Daily in the same building as Teen Vogueand overheard that Teen Vogue was looking for interns. I interviewed immediately and was extremely lucky in getting the job! Basically I assist stylists on photo shoots, steam multiple pounds of clothing, work behind the scenes at fashion shows, and perform research at the editors’ whim. So far, my favorite task has to be assisting stylists on photo shoots.I expected a lot of busy work, like packing up clothes for shoots, a lot of steaming, and hopefully some fieldwork that included assisting on photo shoots. It turned out to be exactly as I had imagined! I interned at a few companies before Teen Vogue, so I had a good idea of what interning in the fashion industry would be like. Nothing really surprised me. Maybe the fact that Lisa Love is so unbelievably nice! But other than that it has been as awesome as I had hoped for.The one bit of advice I would give an intern applicant is to stay strong throughout the busy work and know that it will eventually pay off. Everyone has to start somewhere, and although the grunt work can get frustrating at times, hard work will raise you up!

Love takes hostages,
gives them pain.
gives someone the power to
hurt you again and again
I guess theres so much more
I have to learn
But if you're here with me
I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere,
somewhere I can learn
Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
There's so much craziness surrounding me
There's so much going on it gets hard to breathe
You're feeling like you got no place to run
I can be your shelter till it's done
I hope I can make it through
cause the only place
that I want to be
is right back home with you
gives them pain.

Before I sleep.
I will try to make sure this doesn't make sense. There is no place like home. 2 worlds. Life is a fucking hard thing to manage at 18. I miss you. Perth's bed is more comfier than Sydney's. Who knew I'd be here?
If only one could construct their lives the way they wanted it. I am wrong. I need work. ouch. I will fix it. I can fix myself. I know I'm not like this. Banish. What if I had ballet training since I was three?
Oh the potential. Regretful. Although, would life be completely different if a little thing in life was altered?
I am the most unmotivated dancer. Lazy. Slow. Understood. Sick of making my own dinner. I wish I had more time for everything. Rain on me. Feel like being trapped inside by horrid yet purifying rain. Gotta punch em in the face. No I'm not letting shit happen ever again. On your last strike. Reflect.
4 days down. Not too long left. Be true.
Health:
- Drink plenty of water.
- Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
- Live with the 3 E’s - Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
- Play more games.
- Read more books than you did in 2010.
- Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
- Sleep for 7 hours.
- Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile.
Personality:
- Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
- Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
- Don’t over do. Keep your limits.
- Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
- Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
- Dream more while you are awake.
- Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
- Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
- Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
- No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
- Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
- Smile and laugh more.
- You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Society:
- Call your family often.
- Each day give something good to others.
- Forgive everyone for everything.
- Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
- Try to make at least three people smile each day.
- What other people think of you is none of your business.
- Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
Life:
- Do the right thing!
- Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
- However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
- No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
- The best is yet to come.
- Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

I'm eighteen!
So I had an incredible birthday thanks to this man who made this amazing video. It was the most touching thing ever in life. I can't bear to see it again cause I know I'll pour my eyes out. It's great to see all these faces again and hear all these voices. I am way too over the moon. There's too much to say, so I'll stop.
Here are some other photos from my kyoot day.

fuck
I have this sick sick feeling in my stomach. I feel like everything is wrong. Like I can never get it right no matter how much I try. I keep getting side-tracked...I never mean to do this...and I don't feel like I can ever be forgiven. For the past two days, I have been feeling so depressed and right now, it couldn't get any worse.
I miss you...so much. The pain in my stomach, my head...is because I am so scared to lose you. I'm trying harder and harder. Always thinking how can I prove myself worthy of you?
I want to cry because I really want to talk to you...where are you?
I have the worst feeling...I am anticipating the worst...just because I am so hopeless. I feel pathetic.
I am so scared for myself. So fucking scared. I don't know where this is coming from and why I have this scared-ness about me thats running through me.It's going to make shake.
You're fucking everything to me...and I can't put it through.
Don't ever leave me please. I am craving you...it's horrible because I can't be there.
And not being together is not the answer. I put my best to work things out. All I can do is keep trying.
But I really love you.

It's late, but I don't care.
- I feel I'm a very stupid dancer. At least I can admit it.
- Why am I into filthy, dirty dubstep?
- My neck is totally gone...
- I felt so inspired and ready to say things in this blog...where did it all go?
- Very excited to see Spelling Bee on Saturday.
- 4 weeks and a few days till I come home. yeep!
- I don't even realise it's my birthday next week...why am I not excited?
- My day can get wrecked so easily.
- its 12:12 am...should go to bed.
- I love Tim. 6 months on Monday <3
- Why am I jealous of Lydia?
- tinking
- what is life?
- When will the rain pour in Perth?

Life In Technicolor.
Oh love, don't let me go. Won't you take me where the street lights glow?
I could hear rain coming, I could hear the sirens sound.
Now my feet won't touch the ground.
Time came a-creeping, oh, and time's a loaded gun. Every road is a ray of light.
It goes on, time only can lead you on. Still, it's such a beautiful night.

Lent
I ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever.
Amen.

Keep trying.
The past few days have been so bloody hard for me.
Right now, I can't be bothered having to care about how everyone else is feeling because I have to deal with this myself...no one but me.
I have been talking to a lot of people and its amazing how much better I feel after talking to them.
I think it's just me being a major pussy to want to give up...because it's so easy to just give up and go back home to what life has always been like.
And although that was the best life had ever gotten...growing up is inevitable.
I'm doing this not just for me but for the ones I loved. To get there and reach higher than anyone else has. This is the best I can do and the best for me...so I should be doing this.
I just don't want to feel this bad anymore. It's so draining and so tiring.
I'm in pain and I'm emotionally unstable...but what else am I supposed to do? It's going to happen so I just need to deal with it and wait.
I can not wait till I am used to this routine...the weeks are so slow. The days are even longer. The classes are the longest of all.
I have people who believe in me...I just have to believe in myself.
It hurts so much...

How I envision home.
Walking down Church St. Walking every level of Parramatta Westfields. Hearing my birds scream every day. Hearing the footsteps of Josh running into the house. Anxiously waiting at home for Tim to come over after school. Walking to Tim's house. Watching the tennis with Dad. Having asian dinner's with my parents. Indonesian food. Indonesian language. Tante Ross. Marisa. Alfi. Julie. Maliss. Tante Srie. Om Richard. Fleur. The NSW Ballet School. Balmain Sushi. Ballet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Macarthur Girls High School. Dance Ensemble at 7 am in the morning. Viva La Vida. Never An Honest Word. Tiarn. The Rose Garden. The City. Blacktown, Top Level. China Town. Tania. Glebe Markets. T80. CityRail. Sacred Hart Parish. Father Dado. Wentworthville. Woolworths. Blockbuster. Steph. Ardi. Bondi Junction Bloch. Level 1 food court. Level 3 Maccas. Julie's SLR. Fisheye. Gazebo. End of year concert. Being called Listyloo. List. Tee. Angel. Keveene. Filo Family. Honda. Mercedes. Christmas Open House. Paramore. QVB. The Wogs. The Junkies. The lads. Gabbering. Jono. Chadie. Petre. Yesh. Sara. Rachel. The gossip. The sleepovers. Mysty. My bed. Jess. Antonia. Heat. Winter. Walking to school. Walking back from school. 810. 811. Bus trips with Muddy. Dance class. Miss Rigg. Ms Lawton. Us. Dans Macabre. Jasmine. Scarecrow. Bambi.
That really made me feel so much better.
Is it wrong that I'm hating it here at the moment? Although I want to be by myself...I still can't help being pressured to be everyones friend and be around everyone else...but this is for me and only me. I'm doing this for the sake of becoming a better dancer and establishing ground for whats going to be my career.
If I hate it...I can go...but I know that would be the biggest mistake in life.
Although I've been hearing the same thing from everyone...they are right. I'm just going to try and try and try. Try and get over this depressed stage. Think. Every day that passes...is one day closer to going home. Don't even recognize the date. Just live. Get all your work done. RELAX. It will come.
For a fact...I don't think my parents will let me come home. But I think that this coming week I might try and go stay with Dewi...see if she makes me feel any better.
Cause I really want to run away.
I'm unhealthy. Drained. Missing Tim. Missing home.
I don't want to grow up.

Him.
He doesn't know the extent to which I love him. He has given me everything I've wanted and needed. He makes my life run on the right road, because with him...life makes more sense and will only get better. We went through a lot in a variety of situations...but of course just end up benefiting our relationship. I significantly remember trouble-some situations which really kill me to the bone...but I feel that our tears and anxieties make us stronger because we've been through something...and I've learned from them. I've also learned from him...he is honestly, such a good person. He is so generous and friendly. He's aiming high and I commend him for that.
Although, one of the most amazing things about him is that he motivates me and keeps me going. With me gone...I just want to hear him say "Come back..." or "You can always come home if it's hard"...but I don't...and I'm not saying it's a bad thing...it's amazing that he can miss me immensely but still keep me grounded and stay supportive while I'm away...because it's my future and it's my dream. I am so glad of this...and all the time, I feel like...I just want to come home...but he tells me its going to be ok and that everything will get better. He knows me well.
I feel that God is testing us and is challenging us with me gone for a while. It's hard, but nothings ever perfect. Things happen, and this only makes us more special. This long distance thing is super hard, but I don't want to lose him. And it's not the feeling like...I feel like I won't meet anyone else. It's when you don't want to look at anybody else but him.
I love him and I hope he reads this.

Its time.
Because I wish life didn't have to change so drastically. Time to move on, be strong and create a new life.
One thing is, I have to remember that everyone here, are always going to be there for me...and it won't be too long till I see them. I'm feeling so weak at the moment. Doubting myself on whether I can do this alone. I don't know if I can bear not coming back to the comfort of my home and room everyday. Being annoyed by my parents. Seeing my cat. Seeing my boyfriend...
It's a whole new ball game.
