#161- cny, family time at its finest
Friday, January 27, 2012 @ 5:53:00 pm
With this new approach to a more mature blog, it takes me at least 5 minutes to come up with a good beginning...and yet I am still yet to sound sophisticated. Evidently. Nonetheless, my attempt can be at least called an attempt.
Every single moment in your existence, however insignificant it may be, contains substance with the capability of bringing you an extra inch further into your life. Now these moments come with emotions and may result in the forming, deforming, and unfortunately, the termination of some relationships, and corny as can be, I'll say, the most important of these relationships is your family. I have to admit, no matter how critical or destructive an argument can get, it is family that these individuals always come back to.
And really, family is really amazing. Just the other night, it was Chinese New Year's Eve and also happened to be an Australian Open match including the family's favourite, Roger Federer. Well, my godmother's favourite. She's wise and experienced, but to see her with her family, all hyped up and childish made me realise how important family really is.
I really am such an amateur at writing maturely :(
#160- I'm making a comeback, better and wiser than ever.
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 @ 10:39:00 am
A lot of people have returned to the blogging community, and I feel like I should also contribute a bit, but then again, when I blog, even I get bored of myself talk about my everyday life, so how can I expect you guys to read past the first line? - so I want to talk about more grown-up things because I aspire to be more mature. Sort of.
It's great that my comeback coincides with the beginning of 2012, nearly- the apocalypse year. Personally, I don't really give a f*** about the fact that the whole world is going to end, partially because I don't believe it's going to happen. As I revisited my blog, I noticed the header read f i f t e e n - this year, I'm turning 17... so I am wiser, better? I believe so. (I'll change that header soon.)
My last post dates back to October 13, 2010. Since then, I've met some amazing people and grown closer to those that were already there by my side. I've also survived my preliminary year and started my HSC year. (The capitalisation of the letters signify it's importance.) Like I said, I get bored of myself talk about everyday life- so, I'll stop.
So the new year has just arrived and what does that mean?- New Years Resolutions.
We all know out of the ten that we make only one has even the slightest chance of even surviving those 365/6 days, come to think of it, 2012 is a leap year! Another day to celebrate my and your existence, and of course a special day for those born on 29 of February. But really, the New Year is a time for reflection and change based on that reflection, and these goals that we decide on, they are our NYRs. We know everyone makes them based around being a better person, and I'm not going to lie, that's mine as well. We all just hope that they'll work out for the next few hundred days and we'll be alright...until reality hits and we know that it's not really going to work out like that. Even if it did, it'd be a pretty bland life with no exhilaration or anything. Maybe we're all better off just making smaller short-term goals for a month...
And regarding the past year or so that I've been away, I think I have become just a little bit better, and a little bit wiser.
DAY 11 - another picture of you and your friends

DAY 10 - songs you listen to when you are happy, sad, bored, hyped, mad
@ 10:32:00 pm
I don't
usually have songs for when I'm especially emotional. Maybe. I usually listen to
RnB anyway. When I'm especially happy and feel like jumping around I listen to
doof doof music :) The cute ones. When I'm sad, I listen to Yiruma's music because Yiruma music is so calming and is the type you wish would play in real life when you're running through the rain.... in a drama. When I'm bored, I just put it on shuffle and play all the good songs. When I'm hyped, I listen to catchy songs that I
REALLY love and that I can sing to so I can sing to them. When I'm mad, I'm not really, or just lie in bed and cry :'(
P.S. decided to blog TWICE today.

DAY 9 - something you're proud of the past few days
Saturday, October 09, 2010 @ 8:54:00 pm
These past few days I've got along with my parents quite well. Apart from the argument we had on Friday. But other than that, I've laughed with them and had fun with them. Not really. Just talked and laughed. But I'm proud of that. :)
Too cool for school?
Tuesday, October 05, 2010 @ 10:02:00 pm
I hear a lot of people around me saying that school is all bullshit. If not, school up to and including Year 10 is bullshit. Apparently, this way of thinking is
cool. No, it's not. Seriously, that leb guy's talk really got to me. ›› Do you want to achieve over 90 in the School Certificate?
›› If yes, are you studying like you want to get over 90 in the School Certificate?
Honestly, since day 1 in high school, our educators have been trying to make sure that we are prepared for the School Certificate and Higher School Certificate. In return, our attitudes are such as "Psh, school. It doesn't actually matter until Year 11 and 12." And those that say "As long as it doesn't show up on my report so my parents find out, it's okay." So, what about that massive report at the end of your high school years that reflects your learning for the past 6 years? You can hide mid-year reports from your parents, but there's no way you can hide your HSC result from your parents.
To be completely contradictory, I used to think like this too. Why? I thought it was "cool" that I didn't care about school. But deep inside, I tried to get good marks. Why again? I want a good future. Not one that's screwed up because I thought it was cool to do drugs in my mid-teenage years. Recently, I found myself a career path. One that I'm sure of and that will lead to a good future, if successful. To make it successful I have to do well in school, and by that, I have to try.
Does that sound childish and uncool? The fact that we go to school, not because that's where our friends are, but because we want to learn. I'm sure I could ask anyone in the world whether they wanted a good future or not and they would reply with Yes, I do want a good future. There are some in this world who aren't as privileged as you are and can't even afford education.
If school didn't matter, don't come. And don't go saying that your parents this your parents that... If you genuinely don't like school, don't want a future, run away. I'm going to tell you this plainly. You go to school to learn. It all adds up to your final mark that the rest of your future relies upon. For those that go to school and think that really think that school is bullshit and doesn't matter at all, think about why you come at all.

DAY 8 - short term goals for this month and why
@ 9:52:00 pm
I think I "accidentally" skipped Day 7. But that's because I don't really know if anyone has had that much of an impact upon me. Neither will I have a picture of them. That's why, I "accidentally" skipped Day 7.
So, Day 8. Considering it's the holidays, I have a lot of goals related to catching up at school. I have heaps of short term goals in fact.
1. Complete summaries for all subjects to be tested in School Certificate
Why? Because I want to do well. Duh! Recently I attended a workshop that was planned to assist us in the preparation of our School Certificate. Well, they asked us a question. Do you want to achieve over 90 in the School Certificate? Of course, I said yes. But then they proceeded to ask: Are you studying like you want to get over 90? I guess not. So, I was planning to make summaries but I suppose that's not working.
2. Get a pharmacy that will let me do work experience there.
At the beginning of the holidays, I kept on reminding myself about this. But, I forgot about it. Again. It is now going closer and closer to the end of the holidays and I have yet to find a place. What can I say? It slips my mind. A lot.
3. Get a formal dress
This is the only goal that I've worked at achieving. I've gone out twice to go formal shopping. I'm not exactly what you call close to finding a dress. I know a few people that have already got their dresses, some with a back up dress. Me? Nothing. Not even a dress that can pass as a back up dress. I have to try harder.
So, as a result of this blog, I have a blog topic in mind. Won't keep you waiting :)

Monday, October 04, 2010 @ 7:14:00 pm
Recently, being the holidays, I've been burning holes in my wallet by watching many movies. I was going to review them all, but I guess I could do a brief little thing?

Goong
★★★★☆
Shame there was no half star, because I would have put 4.5 stars. I love this drama, but it's a bit long-winded and progresses really slow. That's why it lost a star. It's 26 episodes, I would recommend it, unless you're one of those people that will rage unless it goes faster. Like me. But I had time on my hands because it was the holidays. I also don't recommend this if you don't want to cry. To be honest, I don't think the Prince looks that hot, BUT it's still a good drama. Mostly Romance I suppose.

Glee
★★★★★
I actually really like this. I'm a fan of singing and dancing things because they look really cool and yeh. But obviously, because they always happen to have a song that describes their life story, it makes it slightly unrealistic. And I doubt they give out free slushies, however, that's America we're talking about. And I also love Sue. She is like, cool :) Also, because I'm slow and only get the trends until after a while, I'm only on Season 1 ... T_T Yeh, sorry about that. From this, you get laughs? singing along with shit? Hell, I even danced. I'm lame.

Easy A
★★★☆☆
I didn't actually like this movie at all. I mean, it was alright, I'm too nice a person to give it less than 3 stars out of 5. Totally, not really. It's just about American schools with having to keep up a cool reputation and all. It's not that great. Honestly, that's all I can say. I think I'm more into fantastical and not so generic movies. I think that's what alot of people are into now. Everything is the same now I swear. == Anyway, this is good for people who have already watched every other movie in the world and is bored to wit's end.

Despicable Me
★★★★☆
I love this. Role reversal. Not generic. Not Easy A. Seriously, these minions are the cutest things. They don't talk English, which is what all cute things do and they squeal, which is also what cute things do and they're like one basic shape (cylinder) just rounded at the edges. And they're in OVERALLS. I repeat OVERALLS. How could you not adore these? Honestly. Anyway, this is what it looks like, a kid's movie. What can I say, I love Disney, Pixar, everything that's for kids. AND THAT LITTLE KID. Okay, she talks English, but that's forgiven because she's small and has huge eyes and she has the cutest ponytail. So, this is for people who love kid's movies and cute things. I suppose.

Avatar: The Last Airbender (anime)
★★★★★
I like this a lot better than the movie. Maybe because it didn't cut out like every second minute of what was happening and because it's a cartoon. And because they don't have a nationality. Everything's much prettier and not so poverty-stricken looking. I just love it because 1. kids and 2. just because. Actually, I don't really know why I like things, it's like when you ask me, why don't I like tomato? because I don't. Also, don't compare tomato to congee. They are different. Rice is different. It's much more Asian and cooler. Anyway, this is for everyone like me who goes home after school to watch kids' cartoons. Nevermind. It's for cool people.
Avatar: The Last Airbender (movie)
★★★★☆
They pronounced his name wrong. It's Ang, not Aang. Wtf is a Aang. It's like si haang (toilet in canto) without the h. Anyway, Ang looks like he's going to kill someone the whole time and at no point does he look happy. I swear. And Katara looks depressed and like she has eye bags all the time. Sokka has the weirdest hair, seriously, I've heard people actually insult people with this and they don't actually mean it literally, but it does look like someone put a mop on his head. Honestly. Furthermore, Zuko is just a really pissed off guy. Well he's like that in the anime, but in the movie, he has big eyes and they're not small and like a line which makes it more like his really angry and not pretending to be angry. I reckon, it would be a much much much better movie if the actors were freaking Asian. Seriously, the Fire Nation is Indian, the Air Nomads are Eurasian, and the Water Tribe are white. There is something wrong with this film. The only normal ones are selected members of the Earth Kingdom who are actually Asian. Otherwise, some others are also Eurasian. This is for people who can't be bothered to watch all the episodes of the anime, otherwise, I recommend watching the anime. Fully.

On a side note.
Dear myself in 1o years time.
When I come to read this again, on this day 04102010,
I had a reallyyy and trulyyy wonderful day. :D

DAY 6 - my favourite superhero and why
Wednesday, September 29, 2010 @ 8:32:00 pm

Sailor Moon. self-explanatory.
In fact, that's not true, I just don't really know any other superheros. Yes, I do, I just don't like them. In actual fact, I think Sailor Moon is really dumb. She's really dense and gullible. She takes ages to realise something is evil, and when she does, Luna the cat has to help her. She's so stupid she can't tell the difference between the person she hates and Tuxedo Mask whom she loves.

onomatopoeia .
@ 7:44:00 pm
There is something wrong with this literary technique.
Onomatopoeia doesn't actually make sense. For example:
1. Do pigs oink? No, they grunt.
2. In the song, Baa baa Black Sheep, do you say ba ba, or baaa baaaa? Baaaa baaaa is more correct, because in fact, they do baaa baaa, and not ba ba
ETC. See, it doesn't make sense. Also, why is boom boom and not doom. Why does it start with these particular sounds make b- sounds and not d- sounds or f- sounds ...
That's what WY and I were wondering...
