Tagness from owlssayhoot

I got this from owlssayhoot. So I guess I decided to do it too. Something to do before I start school tomorrow.
Favorite Band/Artist: I guess it'll go back to the roots. Panic at the Disco (their new music is good, I prefer their old music back in 2005), Kelly Clarkson and Spice Girls.
Favorite Video: Err... I guess (if music video or VHS) "Bad Romance" by Lady GaGa. I just love the video clip. By VHS the old Disney moives like Beauty and the Beast.
Favourite Movie: Tough one. It depends really, I love My Neighbour Totoro (if anyone knows me, I am a total nerd when it comes to it), Juno... The list will go on.
Favorite Book: Deathly Hallows & Chamber of Secrets, as well as many others.
Favorite Designer/Label: Jay Jays.
Favorite Festival: Don't really have one.
Favorite TV-Show: Glee, 7PM Project, So You Think You Can Dance, Good News Week, Talking about your Generation & Spicks and Specks. Woah, too many favourite shows.
Favorite Person/Icon: Person, well my father, who worked his glutious maximus to make me have a good education and life. Without him, I guess, I wouldn't have any clue how hard life gets. Icon, well obviously J.K Rowling.
Favorite City/Country: Countries, well it's a bit hard cause I have so many like South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Russia, Germany, England, France, and the USA. I guess because I have pen pals there or I am a desendant of people who use to live there. Then favourite cities, I guess is Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, as well as Tokyo, Hiroshima & Kyoto in Japan.
Favourite Moment Ever: Whenever I finish a book that I adore, a part of me (I feel it) just leaves me. Especially when I finished Book 7 in the Harry Potter series, as soon as I finished the last sentence in the epilogue, something died inside of me.

So... Summer holidays, you decided to end so quickly?

The best remedy for those who are afraid,
lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere
where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens,
nature and God. Because only then does one feel
that all is as it should be and that God wishes
to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

---Anne Frank


Today is my third last day of my summer holidays. Woah, it went quick. It feels like just yesterday I was walking to my friend's car after the Presentation Night (we had a half day - so it was a 12:30pm finish) and thinking that I was pretty much "wasted" (not in a drunken or drug-ing way) and realise that soon I have to be "serious" and all that jazz (ergh, I know, I know, how terrible that is) because the teachers and all that jazz is pretty much persuading you to choose that subject for the HSC. The HSC wouldn't be all that scary (I must admit) if it wasn't in capitals or pretty much sending vibes saying "this is a life or death set of exams, if you are fail, you are not qualified to get into . This whole thing about school made me realise that school has gone by so quick! It felt that yesterday was my first day of Transition (kind of like Pre School and Kindergarten mashed up together). That was about 11 years ago (1999) and still I survived many slings and arrows of outragous fortune.

Today when I was walking my dog (his name is Buster and he is a chihuahua cross Fox Terrior), when I saw a student from one of the public primary schools in my area. I thought she was a kindergarten (because she was small and cute), so turned around and walked to her, and asked her if she would like to pat my dog. She enthusiastically said yes and patted. When I was asking her what year (or grade) she was in, she replied, "I am a year two! I started school yesterday." I smiled and told her that I started school on Monday and she was shocked. But I think I made her day, it surely made my day. Everyone should do something nice to small kids because it'll make their day and also it's a random act of kindness.

Yesterday I returned from the Sunshine Coast! I had to catch up watching millions up millions of YouTube videos from my suscriptions that I have missed. I am about half way through it now. Which is a good achievement because it's past 10am in the morning. T.T But I did have fun at the Sunshine Coast. I send postcards to my pen pals (while I was away, I didn't have any letters from them -sad-) as well as getting a birthday gift for one of them (as well as everyone else, even if they are small). On Wensday when I was at the Sunshine Coast, I was with my mother at Australian Zoo and it is was boiling hot! It was 36 degrees (Celcius) and my mum and I were dying from the heat. When my mum and I arrive at the Sunshine Coast, it was Australia Day. There were heaps of drunken people and we even saw Polic have to "stalk" or watch these youthes (they were roughly between 18 and 20) who were trying to start fights and stuff. Eventually my mum and I saw an old school bus (nearly) full of drunken people.

Splurgh

You have my heart,
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star

---"Umbrella" by Rihanna


Splurgh to you to. Splurgh or splurdge is my new word. Not spiffy or uber or epic or even cheesemonkies (for me in year four, I created this make believe animal called cheesemonkies, which were monkies made out of cheese. I never did particular like cheese then or now). Which for me, marks a new "chapter" in my word vocabulary. But, does anyone remember making up words as a child? Kind of like what Sunny Bauldlaire does in the Series of Unfortunate Events (but her words mean a sentence not just one crazy make believe word that isn't in the Oxford or Urban dictionary).

When I look back as a child through my words or my actions. I had two sides (kind of like split personalities). Outside of the classroom but still in the school grounds, I was a very loud person. I didn't really care if I was even louder than some of the guys in the playground or by my over the top personalities, not been truely liked all that much. Then on the car or bus ride home, I'm all quiet. Not saying much to my friends on the bus. Which I am truely regretting now because I'm moving houses, away (most likely) from my bus route.

Apart from the "spurdge", I look at my childhood as possibly, I guess (in a way), eventful or at least "not right in a normal sense". I think one day (or possibly sometime in 2011) to publish my autobiography. I think my story needs to be told. In a way, I guess everywhere, someone's story needs to be told somehow. I think a lot of people need to read them and know how tough some people have.

Long Blog #4

"There is neither happiness nor
misery in the world; there is only the comparison
of one state to another, nothing more. He who has
felt the deepest grief is best able to experience
supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to
die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
"
--Alexandre Dumas

Recently I have watched a movie called Bandslam. It's pretty much the adventure (well, that's really bad phrasing but you get my drift after finishing this paragraph) of a band and it's glory of going to this competition to get some record deal in this competition at school. after coming second place, their performance was recorded, uploaded onto YouTube and eventually they got a record deal. The movie was good, I wouldn't say spectacular or anything like that nor extremely bad. I quite liked it, the fact that I want to get my band, Lola and the Rawr off the ground, the movie sort of inspired me to do that in a way. Kind of like me seeing Julie & Julia, it made me be inspired to actually do something.

I also recently watched It's Complicated. I absoultely dislike the whole plan and thing. It's just for people who are romance-obsessed over the limits. I am already confronted by the whole sexual thing through many lessons about it in PDH (Physical Development & Heath) and reproduction in Science. It's the fact that over doing it in this movie, kind of, well, freaked me out to the maximum. Meryl Streep was a good actress in this film, no doubt about that. In the end, it was a good movie, but I just disliked it with the over the top sexual themes, if you get my drift.

A Series of Unfortunate Events, well, what can I say about that? I read the first book in year four with my class. The class teacher was reading it to us, while the spare copies were given around to a few people in the class. I never bothered, after 2004, to read them. That is till the last few days of 2009 I picked up the second book (I still remember the first book, well in my mind) and started reading it. Now, up to book nine, I am re-loving the series again. It's 13 books long, pretty much 13 chapters inside (correct me if I'm wrong) and it's about the tales of three children and their misfortunes of escaping clutches of the villian, Count Olaf (who, each book, hides in disgisuses), who wants their fortune. It brang me back to my primary school years of reading the book. Does anyone enjoy the books like I do?

I am officially missing the Japan's rail systems. I missed the fact that trains come ever 2 minutes or so. CityRail (one of Australia's rail networks) is annoying the hell out of me. Whenever I go on the train (I think about everyone feels the same), it smells like number ones. It disgusts me like hell. There is a train pretty much every hour here and it annoys the heck out of me. They change the time table (I don't catch the train but), so my school has to pretty much catch the train in a hurry because of that. It's like 500m or more to the station from school and I think it's a pain because there is a train in an hour's time if you missed it. It is so annoying. If I catch the train to home, it's about 30 minutes (same amount of time if I wait for my bus) and it is a 6 minute or so train trip then a 30min or so walk to my house. If I catch the bus, it's 30min waiting, 40min trip and 5 min walk or so. The Japan Rail System, is crowded but still, it's sufficient and I love it. Even if it is crowed and you literally have to rush and get a seat if there is an oppertuneaty open for it.

Long Blog #3

You can be healed of depression if every day
you begin the first thing in the morning to
consider how you will bring a real joy to
someone else.


Summer in Australia is going whacko here. One minute it's sunny, hot and 30 odd Degrees Celcius, the next is rainy, cold and miserable. What's up with this weather? I read on a Facebook group "You know if you grew up in the Blue Mountains if:", one post said "You know when summer comes. One minute is extremely hot, the next pouring down rain". Someone else also wrote that some tourists said "OH RAIN!", then the author of the post always reply, "NOOO! Give us sunshine!". It is very true about the whole weather thing. I really prefer sunshine but also prefer winter at the same time. Just the sunshine in the summer is always like 30 odd degrees, and it's too hot to do anything. Here, where I live, the only closest beaches are in Sydney. The closest pool to me is down the hill, which is convient because I play Basketball there on Friday nights.

Learning languages can be fun. I am currently learning Japanese which is harder than I expected. I am a slow learner, I must admit, but my brain doesn't soak up as quick and effectively as I would like to. You know what I mean? If I master Japanese in the future sometime, I would like to learn Russian (ancestors and jazz, plus my grandmother is Russian), German (ancestors), Korean, and then either Manderine or Cantonese. I know, it'll take a long time learning those languages, but it's worth a try. You only live once.

I saw a bilbord in Sydney. It said, "Don't give blood. People need your blood". It had a picture of a mozzie. Does anyone give blood? After June 30th, I can give blood. I am thinking about it. It's a good cause because people need it. I also thought of shaving my hair for "World's Greatest Shave", possibly in 2012 when I am in year 12, last year of High School. Has anyone done either of those two things? Or even thought about it? They are both, like I said, is a good cause. I do 40 Hour Famine each year since 2008, instead of giving up food (I vomit and get sick, seriously I do), I give up my necessities. For example, iPod, laptop, bed, lights, and DS. I eat my dinner in the dark on the floor.

On 26th December, I had to listen to MuggleCast while my mum and her friend's from across the road came over. I didn't go to sleep to nearly 10pm at night. MuggleCast kept me sane while I hear loud talking down stairs. Does anyone go to sleep at that time? I swear, everyone of my mum's friend who come at night make me sleep later. It drives me insane! Why do people do that? Are everyone night owls now and it's cool to be night owls? I sigh and groan at this matter.
