LONDONNN :)

Our trip took it's first checkpoint straight at London. 
We got out of the airport to see it raining. It just made the city look even more beautiful :)
We looked around at the beautiful city for a while. It seriously was amazing. So different from America and the other places I've been to. It was special and unique in it's own way. The buildings seemed more historical and the people felt more formal and distant. It was like living in my own personal 1960's :)
We went to Madame Tussaud's the first day. And hell, was I excited. Every single person I recognized, my stomach would just flip and I'd get all psyched out. You should've seen me when I saw the first wax statue staring down at me. I was practically shrieking. Especially when I saw that Taylor Lautner. I was like melting. When I took a picture next to him, it felt like I've actually stood next to the 'real' him. It still feels like that to be honest :) Madame Tussaud's was amazing!
That reminds me to this time when I was looking at the Justin Bieber wax statue and this group of four guys posed next to him as though they were beating him up. It was actually quite funny. Haha :)

The next day, we took a tour around the city. Went to Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, London Bridge, London Eye and I forgot the rest. Hehe. 
Oh come on, you can't blame me. That whole city can pass of as a monument. No kidding.
Oh yes, we went to the Tower of London as well. It was beautiful. That Jewel House was crazy impressive.

We only stayed for a day and a half in London. I know right? That's short, but London was just our starting point. We weren't really supposed to stay there anyways. But daddy said that we might just go to London for you know, chilling out and just walking around the place, next summer if things go right. Just might. Like just might.

Later, the next evening we took an Eurostar Train to Paris. And there ends our London Journey. Crisp and short, but really fun. 

A few shots below. I don't think I'm allowed to put any pictures of myself, but either way, not happening today. Haha, that rhymed :)



That place is like real heavennnn :D


THE TAYLORRR.


Tom Cruise looked hell real. He was a real getter too. 


Just a normal street in the crazy beautiful city of London.


I don't remember this building :\ I just thought it was...cool.


Another cool looking building I just can't seem to remember. I remember somebody mentioning something about it being a Gothic design or something. I don't know.

Kay that's enough pictures for now. Haha :)



I'M BACKKK!

IT FEELS LIKE AN ETERNITY SINCE I TYPED IN THIS LITTLE BOX. 
But anyways,
I'M BACK! I'M BACK! AND I'M BACK!

How are you doing? I hope you're having a real BLAST this summer (for those of you who do have summer break now). And well me? Everyday is something new. Something fun.Trust me, this summer has been great. Got to do what I wanted to. Perfectly planned. Although we get a freaking little month :\ But whatever. It's been amazing.

Europe's been amazing. Such a beautiful place. Crazy beautiful. But we couldn't stay at one place too long. We went to ten different countries. YEAHHH! 
United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy, Germany and Vatican City. 

Unfortunate to my interest, I couldn't get a single freaking One Direction thing :( Well actually, when we were in London, I found bunches of gazillions of 1D stuff at Madame Tussaud's, but then I thought, I could get them somewhere else. But I couldn't. I found this one book and magazine of 1D in the Rome Airport, but guess what? They were in Italian. How very lucky. 
-.-

But anyways, the rest of it had been ahhhh delightful. 
I came back on Thursday actually. But I hadn't been on Blogger as of then...uh...I was too lazy. Hehe :)

I'm not gonna end now. It's too quick to sum up everything that I've seen throughout the trip. So I'm just gonna type it out in segments. How does that sound? Eh? Haha, that makes me sound like Hagrid :)

Day Twenty Five to Thirty : JB Challenge

I'm not going to be able to regularly blog from tomorrow because well, I'M FLYING TO EUROPE!
YEAHHH!
So instead of blogging the days irregularly, I was just going to finish five days today.
Besides, I skipped out a few days here and there so this doesn't really make a difference.

Day Twenty Five : Favorite Interview
ANY ELLEN INTERVIEW!

Day Twenty Six : Time you've been a fan
March 2011. Yeah, it's not that far back. A little over a year, that's it.
Alicia and I were having a sleepover and as usual, she was going on talking about how amazing they were. Usually when that used to happen, I used to like them for that night and then I went to school, and changed back to a liker just not a fan. 
But that sleepover changed my life.
No kidding.
That night changed me into a fan, not just for that moment, but forever.

Day Twenty Seven : Number of songs of JB you own
All their songs.
Officially, I own five of their albums. And I downloaded the other two.
So theoretically, I own all of them.

Day Twenty Eight : The Day You Discovered Them
I found out about them when Alicia did. It was sixth grade, 2008 or 2009, and our friend Daphane was obsessed with them. Infact, our whole grade loved them. Daphane used to write, Property of Nick, on her arm every day. Yeah, they were obsessed. The Jonas Brothers were like the cool thing back then. Just like 1D is now. I sort of didn't really go back home and listen to them ; I wasn't that interested. But Alicia did. She liked them then, but didn't love them. And then seventh grade came by, she was obsessed. And that's when I listened to them. The first song I heard was Burning Up. I liked them since.

Day Twenty Nine : Future Expectations
I just hope they stick together musically and keep making amazing music.
And I just hope their reality show will turn out amazing.
I know it won't happen, but I really wish they would make a third season of JONAS.
From my side, I just want to meet them SO BAD.

Day Thirty : Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
I was watch Night At The Museum 2 on television a few months ago, and then I thought I heard Lovebug. I was like, "WHAAAAAAAT?" and then, a few minutes later, I see those Cherubs, Cupid lookalikes, and shrieked after realizing they were the Jonas Brothers. It was so cool.

All Hail Jonas.

50 PAGES YEAHH!

I officially crossed the 50 page line for my story, Forever. It was actually called A Cup of Love, but I figured to change it to Forever.
But anyways,
I'M ON MY FIFTY SECOND PAGE!
It's handwritten, so it'd probably be gigundo on Microsoft Word.
I'm delighted. It's my first romance story. So it's pretty fascinating :)


Day Twenty Four : JB Challenge

Day Twenty Four : Your Jonas Brothers Memorabilium
I have all their music CD's expect for two, It's About Time and Fast Life.
I have Camp Rock 2 and The Jonas Brothers 3D concert experience.
I have this poster of all of them in which they look AMAZING.
Yeah, that's pretty much it.

INSTAGRAMMM (:

Instagram is probably the best app ever.
It's so addicting and besides, it takes amazing pictures.
Wherever I go, there's like this part of me that's like, 'Take a picture you idiot' or 'Oh my god. I have got to take a picture!'. It's mostly because everybody's magically photogenic and everything's automatically beautiful in this app.
It probably reflects reality.
How everything is beautiful when you look deep.
How you need to change a few screens or adjust the effects to make it beautiful.
It does reflect reality.
It's weird how you could just connect Instagram to reality.
But whatever.
Bottom line: Why have I not discovered Instagram before? Next week, I'm going to be going to Europe (YEAHHHHH!), to beautiful places and of course, I'll make sure I take my iTouch wherever I go :)


Day Twenty Three : JB Challenge

Day Twenty Three : Favorite Album
THIS IS SO HARD.
GAH.
It could be either...
1. A Little Bit Longer
2. Jonas Brothers
3. JONAS L.A.
I really can't pick between these.
It's all too hard.
