Speak Now : The Review

Challenge Summer #15 - This prompt has been given to me by Katherine, a total Taylor Swift fangirl. Word/Page Limit : Not specified

SPEAK NOW. SPEAK NOW. SPEAK NOWWW :D :D :D

1. Mine : Although I've got sick of this song, listening to it for a long time, it's a wonderful song. I loved it, but the only thing was ; it sounded similar to one of her other songs. I just can't make it.

2. Sparks Fly : Currently, Sparks Fly is my favorite song. It's AMAZING. Drop everything now. Meet me in the pouring rain... :) You should listen to the cover of this girl of this song. It's amazing.

3. Back to December : Do I really need to say much?

4. Speak Now : I've realized I've only listened to this song about a week ago. But I fell in instant love with it. It's beautiful. However, it reminds me much of 'Lovestory'

5. Dear John : This song is just okay. Either I just don't like the beat of the song or the fact that I've only listened to it once.

6. Mean : Ahh. I love this song. It's probably one of the best Taylor Swift can pull off because of her accent.

7. The Story of Us : I just like the chorus of this song. It's cute :D

8. Never Grow Up : Aw. I just listened to the song right now and I like it already. It's really pretty and I love the chorus.

9. Enchanted : Initially, I didn't like this song. But now? One word : Enchanting.

10. Better Than Revenge : It's okay. It's not that bad. Not that great. I just like the part where Taylor goes all like, 'Now go stand in the corner and THINK about what you did.' HAHA :)

11. Innocent : Mm mm. *shaking head* I don't really like this one.

12. Haunted : This song is actually really pretty. I love the background instrumental music.

13. Last Kiss : I actually really like this song. But it's not one of those kinds I'd listen to over and over again. But it's still really pretty.

14. Long Live : This song is one of those okay songs as well. Not that intriguing. Not that horrible either.

Overall, Speak Now was an amazing album. It was beautiful and hope she makes amazing songs her next album as well!

Different Dream

Challenge Summer #14 : This prompt, 'Write about the weird dream you had a few days ago' has been given to me by Swetha...again. I've seriously gotta reconsider the rules of Challenge Summer!. Word/Page Limit : Not specified

About two weeks ago, I had a very awkward dream. Explicitly awkward. But pretty cool at the same time. It was the kind of dreams which feel so real, like they're actually happening.

It all started off with the setting of my neighborhood park/garden. Except the park was about 5 times it's customary size. It was HUGE. There was this gigundo stage set up and none of the residents knew what was going on. Me and my friend, Penny, were just going out to play Shuttle. While we were going to the court, I saw the Jonas Brothers backstage talking to...my dad. Apparently, my dad was their manager and I didn't know about it. I stood there shocked but had to much ego to go and ask for an autograph. Instead, Penny and I decided to walk by them and just go and stand by the audience. While we were at it, I couldn't help but looking at them. Nick and Kevin were intensely talking to my dad about the arrangements and Joe looked a little diverted. That's when he saw me. And guess what? I had about 15 seconds eye contact with him. Yes. You heard that right! I had eye contact with JOE THE JONAS!

But then, being the weird dream self I was, despite having contact with him, I continued to walk away from him. The next few minutes of the dream were pretty normal. The 'show' was an outdoor one and by the time of sunset, all the people were ready for the performance.

The Jonas Brothers came and performed 'Hold On' which the people loved. And guess what? Guess who comes on next? ONE DIRECTIONNN!

You would guess that 1D would come and sing a song or say 'VAS HAPPENIN' or something, right? Instead they were all cockroaches.

To be precise, they were all parts of the cockroaches who together, formed a single cockroach. The 'cockroach' began to dance. And in the final scene, Liam being the head of the cockroach, was supposed to move right with the rest of the boys but instead moved to the left. So it looked as though the head and the rest of the body were dancing separately. And THIS was the best part of the whole dream. It was heck hilarious.

The dream ends with the audience laughing and One Direction laughing as well.

And I promise you I haven't made up a single 0.00004% of this story. It's all in my dream.

This dream was actually really fun. Seemed pretty real too. It was a cool one.

AAHH. I MET THE JONAS BROTHERS IN MY DREAM. AAAAAHH. *in the midst of hyperventilation that would simply last for another, say, few more hours*

Day Eighteen : PJ Challenge

DISCLAIMER : Two Challenges in a day due to pretty obvious reasons.

Day Eighteen : Your favorite Greek Myth?

I honestly can't remember all of them, they're way too many to pick my best.

I know this wouldn't exactly fall into the category of a 'myth', but I love the policy and how the Fates work together.

One who spins the thread of life.

One who measures the thread of life.

One who cuts the thread of life.

Day Seventeen : PJ Challenge

Day Seventeen : Your favorite Minor God?

I think I like Iris, the goddess of the Rainbow the best. Not specifically for any reason, but simply because she seems really sweet and patient.

As a matter of fact, I like Pan too...

Another Original Quote

In case you haven't read my previous post, I've just figured I made another quote.

'Life is not fair ; it's all a matter of luck, chance and opportunity'

I rock.

Note : Please do not copy zee quote for I am paranoid that it might be. Do so only on sole permission by the author, that is me.

Life is not fair.

It's all a matter of luck, chance and opportunity.

Many a times, I keep wondering and telling myself that it's not fair how life is not fair. 'Life has to be fair. It just has to.', I keep thinking. But in reality, it's not.

A person who deserves better may not be reaping what he deserves. A person who studies thrice as more and works harder than another may not be securing a higher GPA. A person who studied at Stanford may not be a CEO but a person who got into a local not-so-highly ranked college may be one. A person born to a maid and a person born to a rich family would have totally different lives ; it's not fair how one is born to the latter and the other to the rich.

My dad keeps telling me, 'Out of the million good things that happen to you, don't focus on that one thing you didn't reap from your hard work. Appreciate what you have and learn to deal with the rest and fix it later on'.

I studied hard the whole year, but if I'm going to not do that great this semester, all the hard work I put in together dies. That's what happened this year. I kept thinking about it and then I try to realize that, 'it's not really in the score sheet. Looking at 6 A+'s is a great feeling, but what matters more is how much you've developed throughout the year'. That thought is always in my head, but I don't really correspond to it. Meaning, I still keep thinking very negatively. But I do understand the fact.

Like Gates said, 'Life isn't fair. Get used to it.' I've just gotta get used to it.

Besides, like I've mentioned before, a million good things have happened to me. Be it, the fun times I've had throughout the years, getting real cool birthday presents, getting good scores this year, making people smile, winning things...everything. I need to learn to stop being pessimistic and just enjoy the crazy ride of life.

I'm grateful for where I am right now. For where I stand. For my friends and family. For the support I have. For what God's given me.

Day Sixteen : PJ Challenge

Day Sixteen : Your favorite Olympian God?

APOLLO ALL THE WAY!

He's funny. He's hilarious. He's the man. :)

And yeah. His haikus are heck funny. Listen to this :

'Green grass breaks through snow

Artemis pleads for my help

I'm so cool.'

HAHAHA :) You've just gotta love Apollo.

Remember Thalia and Perce?

'"Wow." Thalia muttered "He's hot."

"What do you expect? He's the sun god." Percy said

"That's not what I meant." '
