What's Been Happening...

Yeah, I haven't blogged in a while. 12 days actually. A lots been going on though. The last few days have been crazy but really fun. What's been happening? Here's a quick little update of my life in the past few days.
 
1. We had a surprise birthday party for Rachel's fifteenth. The same girl who we surprised last year too. So this year, she didn't expect it. At all. Lucky right? I've always wanted a surprise birthday party :\ Her house is like this beautiful, white large mansion. So we just lazed around and spent our time just wailing about. But all in all, it went great.

2. Pretty much the whole of last week, from Monday to Thursday, I've attended around 4 classes in school. That's it. Haha, I wasn't skipping classes or bunking them. We had music practice for World Music Day on Thursday. We practiced for two songs, one with four of my close friends and one with like 15 of us. The practice sessions were great. Alicia would play the guitar and four of us would just sing all day long. Literally.

3. And then came, WORLD MUSIC DAY. That was crazy fun, although everything went so quick. Five of us sang Say Something by Austin Mahone infront of literally, 1000 people. No kidding. And it was so cool cause we put pictures of Austin on the big screen. Trust me, half of the people in school might have turned into Mahomies :) We also sang One Thing by One Direction with their pictures on the screen too. We did the Inbetweeners Dance during the last chorus. And you should have seen the response for the song. It was crazy :) Oh yeah, our seniors in school sang Dynamite and stuff, so you know what they made us do? They made us run around the stage and around the audience making us clap and hoot and stuff. It was hilariously embarrasing. But hey, it was an experience :)

                   

4. Five parties excluding Rachel's during the week. One party because Penny got an almost perfect GPA in her final year so her dad threw her a surprise party. Two other parties because it was this guy's birthday. Another party since it was Alicia's brother's birthday. And another party because it was this little 5 year old's birthday. Yeah. I know life :)

5. Officially crossed the 1000 views bar on Wattpad! GO SUMMERRRR :)

6. Daddy's birthday today! The party was just over and oh my god. The.Best.Cake.Everrr.

Yeah. He just turned forty :)

Yeah. That's pretty much it, I guess. Anything interesting going on in your lives?

WATTPAD SUCCESSSSS (:

It's been only a day and I've got 593 reads. YESSSSS :)
The site's pretty cool and stuff, but the problem is it's really hard for people to vote and comment and become a fan. You've got to be a Wattpad member.
But anyways.
I'm happy.
It looks like I've got a lot of reads from India :) Hehe.
---
Oh yes. Another thing to all the readers is that many people think I've only posted one chapter, but there are more. You've got to look at that little box above the story to get the links to the other chapters.

Finally On Wattpad (:

That's right.

I've only uploaded just the very very beginning so far.
It's not too much.
But it's going to get better. Trust me :)

Eleven Answers for the Eleven Questions

1. Why did you start your blog?

I started my blog around two years ago just to find another little place to write in. Back then, I'd never taken blogging seriously. It was just a place for my friends to look at once in a while to see what I wrote. But then, a few months passed by and then I began to actually understand this blogosphere. Now I love blogging. Just blogging about random things, the average day-to-day happenings. But it feels great to know that people all over the world are reading what I wrote. It's pretty cool and now, I consider blogging as one of my most favorite things to do. 

2. If you could meet one famous person in the world, who would it be?

Hands down, Nick Jonas. 

3. What would you say to that famous person?

Before I would even say anything, I'd probably squeal and faint. Just kidding. But if I could say something to him, I'd tell him a simple sentence - "You're my inspiration."

Because that every single person out there would be blessed and feel amazing if someone told them that they were their inspiration. And besides, it says everything I would want to say to him in a single line.

4. What was the last thing you bought?

Let's see. Hmm... oh yes. A bottle of cranberry juice :)

5. What is your favorite music?

If it isn't obvious already, any JONAS. They may be old, I may be old for them , but they're amazing.

Besides that, I love any kind of song with amazing lyrics. Compared to the other music genres, I prefer pop.

6. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

If this question means, if I could go anywhere new in the world, then I would say Australia. Because I've never been there and I really want to see how it is. It's a beautiful country, I'm sure of that :)

If this question means, if I could go anywhere in the world new or old, then I would say Vaduz. Vaduz is a small town in the little country of Lichtenstein. When I went there this summer, I fell in love. My dad even made a personal vow saying he would retire there :)

7. What are your favorite pair of shoes?

MY CONVERSE! 

It's this pair of black low tops that Alicia got me two years ago. But I still love them. They're really cool and besides, they go well with whatever you wear!

8. What would your dream man/woman be like? 

I would ask my dad and mom to scroll through this answer. Hehe :)

You know what, he's gotta be just like Austin Tanner. The guy in my story.
And besides, that's like years away from now.
Things to worry about later :)

9. What's your favorite film?

Woah. This is tough. 

I can't pick. I have way too many. 

I can't even figure out which one 'cause there are too many to pick from. 

A Cinderella Story, StarStruck, Mission Impossible, Camp Rock 2, Big Daddy, To Grandmother's House We Go and the list can keep going on and on.

10. Do you have any pets?

Oh yes. 

My three year old yellow labrador, Nicky. 

That's Her :)

There are more pictures of her right here.

11. What would your dream job be?

A free lance journalist...with a high salary :)

PARIS!

Like I said before, I'm gonna go through our little trip during the Summer in installments.
London : Check.
Now...THE CITY OF AMORRR.
Paris.

Paris was simply beautiful,
So elegant, yet so lovely.

We went from London to Paris in a train and I was excited the whole ride. Couldn't wait to see Paris!
And on the way there in the train, I happened to notice some interesting graffiti.
There was one that said, 'Jonas Brothers Rock'. I may seem to like that graffiti artist. Haha :)

About to get on to the train. 

So we made our way to Paris. We saw the Eiffel Tower obviously. And it was amazing seeing it from upfront.
The first day there we went to Disney Land. YEAHHH.
It was just like the Los Angeles one. Except for the fact that it was in Paris.
We were there for a whole day, just chilling out and going through all the lands. My brother despised Fantasy Land. I thought it was pretty cute :)

That night, my parents went to the Lido show. My brother and I couldn't go, so we hung out in our hotel.

Over the days in Paris, we visited bunch of historical places. The Arch of Triumph, Napoleon's Tower and you know, the usual. We shopped around and got some cool stuff. And I happened to notice the amazing fashion trend there in Paris. Everywhere you look around, people are wearing something crazy but defining themselves. It's sort of cool, you know. Just wearing whatever you want, pairing things like a white gown with cowboy boots and a hoodie. Haha I haven't seen that, but just saying.

But anyways, here are two more pictures from PARISSSSS.

The Beautiful Eiffel Tower.

There was this one time when I went to the Customer's Service at the mall in Paris to ask for some One Direction stuff. There were two girls there. One of them didn't know who they were. Daddy had to repeat their name like thrice. The other girl immediately turned around and said, "You mean, the band with the five guys who sing around?" I laughed, hoping they would be there. But she shook her head, saying, "Nope. Not here in Paris." My heart dropped all the way to the floor.

Haha, but anyways.
Now that's done.
Stay right there till the next Brussels/Amsterdam post!

Oh, and in the mean time, here's a little picture that happened to catch my eye on the streets of Paris.

The girl on the right and left is wearing a goat around her neck. The fashion of Paris, I will never understand. 

DA DA DADADADA DA DA DADADADA...AFRO CIRCUS!

Do not read first. You've just gotta watch first.

 This video made my day and will forever. Haha, he's so cute :)

GUESS WHAAAAAAT?
I went to the premiere screening of Madagascar Three in 3D yesterday! YEAHHHH!
It was really good. Amazingly good.
And here comes my little review of the movie.

You've just gotta love 'em :)

A SPOILER ALERT
Madagascar Three : Europe's Most Wanted follows a different story line than it's predecessors, but just as hilarious and crazy amazing. It's basically about the four animals trying to get back to New York. They arrive in Monte Carlo from Africa. And they fall into some trouble there while trying to get back. Now they're sort of seen as the enemies. There's this creepy old lady who wants Alex's head (that's weird, I know) and she keeps chasing them. The lady is like the main antagonist and she is freaky. Really freaky.

The rest of the movie is about how they join this circus, make new friends and go through experiences like never before. They reach New York in the end, but decide not to stay in the zoo. Instead, they go joing the circus. And oh, of course, Alex finds love :)

There was this new character in this movie named Stefano and he's so cute. Haha, he's convinced that he's an average intelligence guy and not above average. AHAHA :) It's funny when you watch him say it. Really.
And of course, my other favorite guy, King Julien. His Indian Accent is just hilarious. And it's really funny how that lemur falls in love with a gigundo ugly bear. There's this one part where he replaces the bear's bicycle with a Ducati. HAHAHA :) And of course, his I LIKE TO MOVE IT has the same ring to it this movie too :)

AND TO TOP THIS LITTLE REVIEW OFF, I have just gotta mention the amazing soundtrack. It was really really really good. And the best song?
DA DA DADADADA CIRCUS DA DA DADADADA AFRO CIRCUS AFRO CIRCUS AFRO POLKA DOT POLKA DOT AFRO!
AHAHAHA :)

No really. The Afro Circus song was just making me laugh over and over again.

That Afro Circus song just isn't getting out of my head. It's so cute.
I love his DADADA's :)

I CAN'T WAIT FOR MADAGASCAR FOUR!

Bottomline : YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH THE MOVIE.

Going Through Summer 2012

So...you would ask if I completed that whole big list of 102 things to do this Summer? Well honestly. I haven't.
And then you would ask if I completed my real bucket list of the Summer? Well no. I haven't.
SO WHAT DID I DO?
I had fun.

No really. I maybe haven't finished everything on my To Do, but trust me, it went great.
The 102 things was just for pure fun. It wasn't actually to be taken seriously. Just to keep myself somehow busy. It failed to do so, but it's cool how I managed to make some crappy fun out of that :)
My Real Bucket List for the Summer was something I wanted to do. But unfortunately, the summer was WAY too short for me to do so. I mean, really. 40 days? Who does that?
But anyways, I liked this summer a lot. I've learnt a lot out of it. Even though I haven't done much from my bucket list, I had a great jumpstart at each and every one of them.
Let's see.

1. Complete my story : This summer gave me enough time to plan the story out and put it together. I worked on it and stuff. But it's not done yet. It will, though. It's all planned out perfectly :)
2. Take pictures every day of the Summer Break : Oh yeah. I've done this well. Very well. Not a day went without a picture. And oh my god. INSTAGRAMMM (: Best.Thing.Ever.
3. Thin Down : This wasn't actually supposed to be thinning down. I used the wrong words. It was supposed to be working out. I mean, I'm perfectly fine in my personality. It's just I wanted to work out and lose some unnecessary fat. I don't know if I have or haven't. But I did start going to the gym lately and stuff. Kick start, you see. I'm going to make it daily now.
4. Get better at Shuttle : Now this is one thing I haven't exactly put much focus to. Not at all actually. But I will. I'm going to start going back to the academy and stuff.
5. Make a friend from a totally new place and keep in touch : Oh yes, I have. I have made more than one :)
6. Make a scrapbook : Now you see. I've got all my pictures, journal entries, tickets/brochures/fliers/etc. and stuff to put altogether. It's just I have to make the scrapbook. And I have zero talent when it comes to craft. So this may take time. But it will be done. Just watch.
7. Learn to Bake Cookies : Okay. So I've got tons of recipes. Just gotta work them out.
8. SWIM! : I have swam this summer. But not as much as I do generally, which I regret deeply now. But oh well. I still have a few days left of the summer heat to swim.
9. Finish off SAT Math : So it was stupid of me for expecting myself to finish the whole gigantic big book, knowing my procrastination capabilities. Hehe :) But I have finished a few sections. If I go at a straight pace, I may be able to finish soon. And I think I should start to focus on English now, rather than focusing only on Math. 'cause Math is dead easy...so far.
10. Do my holiday homework : OH YEAHHH. Totally done with those bundles full of homework. Some are due on Monday and I have to make a few, teeny minor changes because of our picky teachers. They want us to. But anyways. I'm done with the original homework. YEAHH!

That was it.
So you see, I wasn't done with everything. But I made myself ready to be done with everything soon.
GO SUMMER! (referring to myself. hehe)

I wish I could post pictures on this thing. It's so boring to look at only text. Gah.

My Very Little Annoying Brother.

I just fought with my brother.
Why, you may ask?
He was spilling water all over. And I told him to stop. BOOM. He goes and tattles to my mom, saying, I was yelling at him. Of course, my mom would believe him.
And then, I got mad at him and because I'm not allowed to call him anything bad or say anything bad, like even, 'Shut up', I said the first thing that came to my mind, under my breath that too. I said, 'You freaking owl.'
Now tell me.
Does that even make any sense?
He saw me mutter something and went to complain again.
He came back and I couldn't control myself and said under my breath, 'You twerp.'
Of course, he said, "I'm going to go complain to Daddy later"
Oh dear.
What am I supposed to do?

This all started because my mom told him to complain even if I raised my voice slightly louder.
So now, whether I throw a mushroom at him or call him a girl (neither of which I actually did), he goes straight to my mom and complains.
Which I think is stupid.
And pointless.

Doesn't that just make things worse?

*This post was supposed to be posted about a few days ago. It's weird how it didn't. So, I didn't fight with him just now. I fought with him back then.

These Summer Days

Ever since the trip to Europe, the days have just been so robotic.
The day starts at like around 9 o' clock after having a nice long sleep with some crazy amazing dreams.
Do things all lazily and then watch television or do something on the internet till noon.
Do some math or homework.
Eat lunch.
Go for dance practice, which lasts for a hour and a half or two.
Come back home and do something random. Play a board game with my brother or play the piano.
Take Nicky out for a walk with Karen.
Walk around for a while until it turns dark.
Come home.
Take a shower.
Have some quality family time...or just fight with my brother :\
Watch a movie in the night.
Sleep around eleven or twelve.

Yeah.
My jobless is just going overboard.

I have three more complete days of Summer left.
And I'm gonna spend it amazingly.
You just keep watching ;)
