An Ode To This Blog

http://flylikeabutterflyy.blogspot.com

What's that link you may ask? Read on(:

Well, as you have probably clearly noticed, I haven't been updating my blog at all for the past couple of months and I'm sorry about that :(
Theres just so much to do, so many other distractions in the way, I've completely ignored my writing!
Which I now deeply regret.

So basically, I was thinking of starting a new blog.
Afresh.
Completely new.
And more of my individuality.

It'll be a more like a travel journal, a place to drop my essays, my scrambled thoughts and all sorts of reviews - just like this blog, but I plan to make it slightly different.

So this is just to give a toast to this blog.
For being with me for two years now, despite my super irregularity.

I'll still keep this blog for memories, but you probably won't see me on here anymore.

And to all the followers I have and the people who read my blog, thanks for all the support! It really means a lot!

Please follow my new blog and throw in some of your valuable feedback or just some fun comments in there too. Even seeing just a happy emoticon puts a smile on my face (:

Well?
I guess thats it.

So right here, Summer Falls, signs off.

Keep smiling! xx

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

So I've read this poem called The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coderidge (split into two halves), and its a pretty good one alright.
But there are just a couple of things that I don't understand.
Why in the world does the Mariner even stop the wedding guest to tell his story?
Why does the weather fluctuate around a million times across just a few stanzas?
Is the ship cursed because he killed the Albatross? -_-
Did the sailors die and start to torment the Mariner?
Or did the Mariner die as well?
But if he died, then how did he stop the wedding guest and recite this story?
But if he didnt die, how did they hang him with an Albatross around his neck?
And when did they pick up the Albatross?!

The poem leaves so many questions unanswered.
And now I'm just confused.

But.
It's a beautiful poem alright, and you've gotta read it(:

---

OH FAIL.
Okay, so I'm typing this out 15 minutes later from when I actually posted this post.
So I googled this up cause I was curious.
And it turns out that there are 7 parts to this poem -_-
The book I was reading it from attached only 2 parts of the poem to it, so obviously, I had questions unanswered.
Okay, I'm going to go finish the poem off now (:
And if you're interested, here's a link to the seven part poem.

Lesson learnt : Google it before blogging it.

Being Productive

So you know what my dad did?
He banned me from Facebook for 15 days.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!
FIFTEEN. WHOLE. DAYS.

Haha, so here I was, on a good Sunday day, without Facebook (:
But guess what?
I'm not really complaining.

Because I realized, not being on Facebook lets you be productive.
For the first time in days, I didnt log on to Facebook even for a minute.
And I could clearly see myself doing far more useful things then I would've yesterday.

I did some actual SAT work.
Wrote a few essays.
Made a list of things to blog about.
Started to Wattpad again.
Wrote another chapter in both my stories.
Started my semester prep for exams.
Painted.
Bonded with my brother after a long time. We didnt fight even once (:

And now, my friend Karen is going to come over, and we're gonna do some Guitar/Piano practice for our New Years performance.
That's right. We're going to be both singing and playing the instruments.

And then after that, I'll take Niksters for a walk and bicycle ride or something.

Come back home and write again (:

But then thing is.
Theres that good side to Facebook you know?
And thats the part I actually really like.
Chatting.
There's so many people to talk to! It's like you're being dropped in a coffee shop full of people from your school and away. And you can talk to whoever you want...as many people as you want. Okay, bad example. But basically, thing is, its the perfect place to go to during a prime time if you need/want people to talk to.

So what I'll do is ask my dad if I can log on for half an hour today, because well its a Sunday -_-
And also, I did everything I wanted to do or needed to do.

And what I'll do from tomorrow, that is, if my dad gives me permission to, I'll make a list of goals I want to do every day in the morning. And I'll only log on when I finish doing those goals.
Be it, a big list or a small list.
But everyday needs to be productive.
Or else, that'd just be one heck waste of a life :)

Writers Block :\

Well, I've been experiencing a writers block recently but then again, I feel like writing.
I open up my laptop or my notebook and right when I decide to start writing, I can't seem to think of anything to write about.
And even when I do, I write up a paragraph and then scratch it all off cause I don't like it.
A weird situation I got caught up in.

So I really need some suggestions to blog about or write about.
It can be anything...
About anything.
Even about the most un-wanted topic I'd want to blog about, I'll write cause I have no other option at the moment haha (:

So give in your ideas!

GOTTA GET DOWN ON A FRIDAYYY.

Yesterday was probably one of THE best Fridays' ever. 

Not because of anything I did in particular, but because of what I did in complete leisure.

School went amazing. It was really funny and the whole day was just probably all of us cracking up for the most lamest jokes ever to be invented.

Alicia and I got caught in Math class for eating pizza when he wasn't looking. Hehe. All thanks to Bailey and the rest of the class. Usually Alicia never gets caught for anything, because well, she doesn't really do anything against what the teacher says. So yesterday was probably the most epic math class moment ever. He caught us eating pizza and we have to write impositions now. Teehee.

The weather was just simply beautiful too. It was rainy and all cold. 

I got wet when walking back home from the bus :P

AND I LOVEEEE THAAAT FEEEEELING!

So...I came back home and ate the best food made by my gramma. 

NOTHING CAN BEAT GRANDMA'S FOOD EVER.

I was up on the internet for about an hour, in my room, with the cold breeze hitting in. (:

And then, an amazing headshower with hot water. 

IT DOESNT SOUND ALL THAT GREAT, BUT IT IS. OKAY? :P

After that, I get a call from my neighbor and turns out we're going out for dinner.

And so, within an hour, I'm sitting in a Chinese restaurant eating the best food ever.

...sound like I'm exaggerating, aren't I? 

Haha, no but really. The food was amazing.

AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF. WE ENDED OUR DINNER WITH A SIZZLING BROWNIE AND VANILLA ICECREAM. best.desert.ever.

I came back home around nine-ish.

My brother went over for a sleepover so I had some time for peace with myself :P

My grandparents were over so I spent a while with them and then came back upstairs.

Sat in my home theatre.

Cocooned in warm blankets and a comforter.

And watched X Factor on TV for an hour. 

And then put on a music channel with pretty cool songs playing in at one go.

I was sleepy but my dad was coming back from China in like the next two hours so I decided to stay awake.

Nothing was on television so guess what I put in the DVD player?

High School Musical.

No laughs or smirks please.

It's actually a pretty good movie.

It brings back those days when Disney was not all dominated by present codes. It felt...original.

So yeah, I had fun watching Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens all small and innocent. Mostly Zac Efron...haha.

Right after the movie was over, I went back and mailed a few friends.

And then, DADDY CAME!

I talked to him for a couple of minutes and went straight to sleep at around 2 in the morning.

And that was my Friday.

Simple, but amazing (:

What's Waiting In October - Part Two

YAYAYAYAY IT'S OCTOBER!

October has got to be one of my favorite months ever, almost every year.

It's the month where the weather is just piece perfect.

The first month after exams.

The month where we usually have no serious homework or assignments due.

AND THE MONTH WITH LIKE TONS AND TONS OF THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO! LIKE THE FOLLOWING THINGAMAJIGS.

1. The Jonas Brothers' Next Album! I CAN'T WAITTTT. It's been absolutely so long since they made music together! And the album is finally going to be out in a couple of more days! #excitementoverload.

2. Taylor Swift's RED. It's going to be amazing! I haven't mentioned it, have I? But...over these few days of my absence from the Blogging World...I'VE BECOME A SWIFTIEEEE. Yes, that's right. I love T.Swift now... as a matter of fact, I've always liked her. But I'm actually a BIG fan now :) And her new album? I'm pretty sure it's going to be massively insanely amazing! Ronan made my heart break and We're Never Ever Getting Back Together made it flip! I can't wait for this album!

3. AKDSFJAKLDSJFAKLDSJFKLASD. THE MARK OF ATHENA. *jaw drop* IT'S ACTUALLY OUT. IT'S FINALLY OUT! OH MY LORD. ITS OUT ITS OUT ITS OUT! I want to read it so bad, from all the amazing reviews! But in the area where I live, it's all sold out and out of stock. It's going to be back in stock in a week or two. Till then, I CAN'T WAIT.

4. October 19th. What day is it? THE DAY OF CAMP YO. THAZZ RIGHT. I'm going on a four day trip with all my friends! It's probably going to be our last trip together, because all of us are shifting schools after this year :( So it's going to be a crazy one, with tons of pictures, amazing times and memories to last.

5. So after this camp thing...I'm going over to my gramma's...with my best friend Alicia! That's right! Two great things happening at once! I can't wait! It'll be amazing :)

6.HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEN. Halloween is like a time when you go back to being that little kid you always were...it brings back all those memories. When I was two, I was a teletubbie. When I was five, I was a princess. When I was eight, I was a princess again :) When I was twelve, I was the grim reaper. When I was thirteen, I was Khione. And now, I'm fourteen. I don't know what I'm going to be...let's just see. And oh, the years in the middle? I forgot...hehe. I'll look into my pictures and make another post JUST about Halloween :)

7. October means closer to November. November means MY BIRTHDAY. IMMA BE 15 Y'ALL. ADFADSKFASKLDFJAKLDF. FIFTEEN. FIFTEEN. FIFTEEN. That's a crazy big number. WOH MY GAWD. That's like...huge. I'M GOING TO BE 15 #cantwait.

8. I was supposed to take my PSAT. But you know what I did? I paid for camp and then I realized that the dates clashed...hehe. So I'm not taking my PSAT this year. And you know what? I'm actually happy about it! So you could say...PSAT is NOT waiting in October :)

9. I have free time. This means that I can finally complete/move forth in my story! In 'Forever', I'm at the part of the dance. The most dramatic, turning point of the story. And in The List, I'm just done with the second chapter. Gotta get working this month!

10. AND OH OH OH. Blogging. I can't wait to start blogging random posts like this, this month! Like mentioned, you'll see a lot of me this month :)

11. Guess what? I stopped taking piano classes. Shocker? Yeah, after 6.5 years of playing the piano. But hey, that doesn't mean I'll ever stop playing. Piano is like part of my life. This month, I made a goal to finish learning a piece. I'm probably going to do a Yiruma piece or 'A Little Bit Longer'. I'm excited!

And yeah.

I guess this is pretty much it.

Let's just see how the rest of this month goes!

How's your month planned out?
