Okay, so I'm really not bothered to blog about today even though it was super interestingggggggggg. Luckily enough I've got blogger friends who are on blogging streaks so I can mooch off them (while giving credit of course).

This was what happened between Steen & I at Lunch - Steen's latest blog entry:

#17 Food can tell you SO much
Monday, March 31, 2008

I thought i'd just blog to let ya'll know im still breathing. Today while Jenny and I were walking to the canteen, we started talking about our love lives. Well i got carried away so when it was my turn to buy i didnt know what to buy, so i just
stared at the chips stand for a good 30 seconds and finally said "can i get a packet of burger rings please". Got out of line and realised i wanted Doritos not Burger Rings. We talked some more and then some how got to the topic of comparing food with our love lives. So after doing some experiments (running around asking random people what they think the Burger Rings were saying to them, let go? OR dont let go?) we have come to a conclusion that my head wants me to not let go (burger rings) but my heart wants me to let go (doritos) and the reason why im not letting go is because
"im hungry for love". Well Jenny bought one of those heart lollipops and i accidently dropped it and it smashed SO she's brokenhearted at the moment = LOLOL it was an awesome lunch :D

OMG GALA Comedy Fest is on! it's absolutly positively ROFL-ING hilarious! I wish i was a comedian :( damn you funny people! you can make so much money by saying stupid things *sigh i reckon thats the best profession out there.

Im gonna go stalk comedians now (;


Basically, we over analysed our current situation by relating it to past situations. That's kinda what all girls do. Well, girls like me. I don't think anyone who buys Burger Rings would be able to make decisions regarding their love lives based on the packaging but that was what Steen and I did. Which probably means we made it all up, but the analogy worked out well. Reading this, you'd probably be totally confizzled right now, so I'm guessing it's on of those "You had to be there!" moments.

I love You Had To Be There moments~!@#!

Oh and yes, I also watched the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala of 2008! It was seriously side splitting! If you watched it also, you could classify my humour with the likes of the "Kristen Schaal is a horse" act. I know, I know. IT WAS STUPID! BUT I loved it. Utterly loved it. I also fancied the first couple of acts then I felt it went sort of bland in the middle.

Nothing else to say, just that I'm trying really hard to sleep earlier this week (!)

You know you love me,
xoxo


P.S> Oh my goodness, Chris Crocker looks pretty here. This is a 5 second video entitled, Best video EVER! where he blinks twice. Awesomeeeeee (!)

I've been doing nothing (literally) until now. Woke up at 12pm and stayed in bed til 1pm, then I wasted an hour on the Hoyts website browsing through this year's upcoming movies and reading their synopsis'. There's a lot of variety this year, and they don't all look crummy :) Can't wait til the April holidays! I'm liking the looks of Prom Night, Paris, Smart People & The Painted Veil (out of the April releases)

I've been in a stalkerish mood for the past 2 days, just yesterday I browsed through all my previous Bebo comments, trying to get to my first ever comment. It didn't work out. I think there's like, a comment storage limit or something :"( The last comment I found was made 2 years ago! I'm pretty sure I made Bebo 3 years ago. Anyways, as I was on my quest for the 1st Bebo comment ever made, I started to read some of the comments I've received. Judging by the most earliest ones, I was one weird kid in Year 8.

I feel a rant coming up but I've got time constraints - I gotta get ready for LURM aka Leave UR Mumma @ home night (creative, aye?. It's a monthly youth night, open for Christians and non-Christians a like, where we all get to play games and have a mini sermon in between :) Each LURM has a theme (well, the past 3 had themes) and this month's theme is Pirates. Arr. I shall promote it after I get home tonight :D Here's some pretty posters for you to stare at:

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place

And it starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers staying dry and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

And it starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm

And they start in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

And it starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
'cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever wherever wherever you go
Wherever wherever wherever you go
wherever you go
I always know
'Cause you make me smile
Even just for a while

What a cute song, yeah?

"And I quote"

I decided to make a new label, "Quotes". To make this new Label feel welcome, I'm going to quote some of my favourite quotes. Well, those that I manage to think of right now.

"How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd."- Alexander Pope

"There's beauty in the breakdown." - Frou Frou

"Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them." - Jack Brown

"Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it." - Swedish Proverb

"Things do not change, we change." - Henry David Thoreau

"Nobody ever died of laughter." - Max Beerbohm

"This one time she punched me in the face.. and it was awesome." - Desperate Wannabe from Mean Girls

Oh, and lolll. I could quote Mean Girls or Juno all dayyyyy!

Leah: Yo yo yoiggady yo!
Juno: I'm pregnant.
Leah: What? Honest to blog?
Juno: Yeah. It's Bleeker's.
Leah: It's probably just a food baby. Did you have a big lunch?
Juno: This is not a food baby all right? I've taken like three pregnancy tests, and I'm forshizz up the spout.
Leah: How did you even generate enough pee for three pregnancy tests?


I loved this scene esp. cos of the hamburger phone Juno used to call Leah with. It actually exists btw~! Exists here: http://www.uxcell.com/desktop-corded-hamburger-phone-telephone-like-the-movie-juno-yellow-p-2805.html

Argh, total want!!!!!111111oneoneoneone

Hmm, ran out of quotes (though I'm quite sure I've got waaay more). So over rover!

Tired and unmotivated. Biking a lot but not homeworking. Staying up unorthodox hours doing assessment tasks. Sleeping at 5am, waking at 7am. Stressing stressing stressing. Yesss, I finished my work (!) School, lol with friends. Cute guys at Mock Trials, which my school lost (it was close!). OH WELL, THEY WERE CUTE. WE WON ANYWAYS! *Swoons*

Incredible highs, incredible lows. Perhaps I'm bi-polar.

After I rode my bike for an hour (bumped into Thanh, Phillip and Bona somehow), I slumped on the couch and reluctantly munched on stir fried vegetables. I'm getting too lazy to eat. Weird how I've got the energy to bike but not to move my teeth up and down. Showered, then felt an urge to google up Pride & Prejudice. Read the full synopsis of Pride & Prejudice today (2005 version with Keira Knightly). No, did not make me feel better. Does Mr Darcy even exist? Gosh. He's like Santa or something. YouTubed Devon. Watched 'La Choy'. Was seriously fascinated by a 1:39 min vid of some guy making noodles with those Kanye West glasses on. Favourited the vid and subscribed to his channel.



Again, didn't even look at homework. Watched Legally Blonde 2 instead.

"Well I’ll tell you, it’s about something that’s bigger than me or any single act of legislation. This is about a matter that should be at the highest importance to every American. My hair.

You see, there’s this salon in Beverly Hills. It’s really fancy and beautiful but it’s impossible to get an appoinment there. I mean, unless you’re Julia Roberts or one of the girls from 'Friends' you can just forget it. But one day, they called me - they had an opening. So I was finally going to get the chance to sit in one of those sacred beauty chairs. I was so excited. Then the colourist gave me Brassy Briggite instead of Harlow Honey. The shampoo girl washed my hair with spiral perm solution instead of color intensive moisturizing conditioning shampoo. Finally the stylist... gave me a bob. With bangs.

Suffice to say it was just wrong, all wrong, for me you know? First I was angry and then I realized my anger was completely misdirected. I mean this wasn’t the salon’s fault. I had sat there and witnessed this injustice and I had just let it happen. I didn’t get involved in the process. I forgot to use my voice.
I forgot to believe in yself but now I know better. I know that one honest voice can be louder than a crowd. I know that if we lose our voice or let those who speak on our behalf, compromise our voice than this country, this country is in for a really bad haircut. So speak up America , speak up." - Elle Woods

Wowzer. That speech is totally right up there with Martin Luther King's. No sarcasm (!) Okay, I was sarcastic. But she's got a point. Speak up stalkers.

Ooh, it's 11:11! *Closes eyes, makes wish/ thinks of someone/ complies to whatever 11:11 means* Yeah, wishing is tiresome.

You, Guy Fawkes, know you love me,
xoxo. (Refer to tagboard)

'Jenny Somebody'

Monday, March 24, 2008, 1:35 PM
|
Woke up at noon today, oh, blissful long weekends. I'm in total holiday mood, can't believe I have to go school tomorrow. Ahh.

I switched on the tele and Channel 9's midday movie flicks on. It was Joe Somebody, a story of a man who was publicly humiliated in front of his workmates and daughter by the work bully after being punched in the face in the car park on 'Bring Your Kid To Work' Day. He slips into a depression and decides to redeem himself again and become a 'somebody' by getting fit and punching out the bully.

The moral of the story? Uh, tbh, I didn't watch the beginning, nor the end of this movie, I just bluffed the storyline with bits and pieces of what I read off the internet. But it was interesting how the guy wanted to be a 'somebody' in his workplace.

Don't we all want to be somebodies, not nobodies? Some turn to the vicious circle of bitching and gossip because after all, you're "no one until you're talked about".

Some dress up, dress down, trying to attract attention from the opposite sex (or the same sex, whichever floats your boat).

Some change their sexual orientation to fit into their crowd, or conversely, stand out.

Some become over dramatic, and over sensitise themselves to things happening around them.

Some act hyper active/ happy/ sad/ mature/ immature all the time.

Hey, it doesn't matter. At least you're somebody, right?

I find it wrong. It's like lying to not only yourself but everyone around you. Lie upon lie, you make up this person you think will make you noticed. You put on this persona, wear this mask, people notice you, success. Everyday you wake up, it's a new day! (... to not be me) You put on your mask, masquerade around as whoever you want to be.

What ever happened to who you are? You don't want to be noticed because of who you aren't. That's attention for all the wrong reasons. Wouldn't it be nice to just wake up and just be who you are? You'd definitely breathe easier since you won't have that 'mask' on you all the time.

It's okay to be you, you don't have to pretend. Life's not a masquerade, it's not a performance. It can feel like one, but it's definitely not. Life is.. life. You live it, don't act it. Who cares if that guy/ girl doesn't see you. You're probably just ignoring the other one who is secretly infatuated by your real self and hurts when you fake it. Who cares if you no longer fit in with your 'friends'. If they don't like you for who you really are, they're not worth your time. And who cares if you get weird looks for what you wear or how you wear it. I'm not saying that they're simply just jealous but they'd probably be envying your confidence.

Don't act to be a somebody, live to be you.


Oh, you know you love me,
xoxo.

Michael Cera? HelloOo ;)

Yesssssssssssss. I finished that report I was whinging about. Like, today o__o I totally didn't do anything yesterday, had no motivation! So when I finished, I was pretty pleased. I was going to post it up for you stalkers to read but I decided not to. (I gotta get my marks back before its safe to post!) It only took me 2 hours to do after finding motivation from thin air (at 9am in the morning). I stayed home like a sucker, pulled a really bad fake sickie.

Me: *Grabs stomach* Owwwww... I have a stomach acheeee.
Dad: *Looks back to my brother in his sports uniform* Okay, I get it. You don't want to run the Cross Country today.
Me: Uh.. yeah. That.

I bludged until 9am then had that motivation spark and finished at 11am. Told my dad to hand it in to the office for me (yeah, yeah, that assessment manual said NOT to do that). I sure hope he didn't act Asian and just leave it on the counter.

Not only did I manage to do a 6 week report in 2 hours, I cleaned my room (and the whole entire house for that matter), done other chores then decided to go bike riding.

Bike riding is soooo in ;) (Says who? Says me!)

I biked for an incredible 1 hour and took the bike trail near my house. At that time I totally forgot that it was the same trail my schools Cross Country was running! Silly me went bike riding the day the school had Cross Country at the hottest hour of the day. Freaking 2pm.

On top of that, the year that was running at that time was my year. So all these people in my grade saw me bike riding. I hope they think bike riding is cool. No wait, I hope not. The dorkier the situation, the more Michael Cera I become.


He is so adorkable. He's the epitome of awkward situations. This is shamelessly ripped off from Girlfriend magazine but its a really good example of a Michael Cera situation: Seeing someone you know a few metres away, making eye contact, looking down, not knowing whether or not you know them well enough to wave Hello. So you don't.

Oh and, I don't buy Girlfriend. My friend does 8-)

Whenever I ride my bike, I listen to this rad radio station FBI, 94.5FM. It's an independent Sydney-based station and has the best music evurrrr. I don't really have the time to sit down with my pen and paper out to note songs and stuff, but today on the way home I was listening to this song. The lyrics totally grabbed me. It was Moving To New York by The Wombats:


I've just had the craziest week
Like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud
It's therapeutic somehow

So like, I've heard of The Wombats but I didn't really take notice of them. The first song I heard from them was Kill The Director. That song is fantastic also but the beat of the song turned me off the first listen. I don't know why because now that I listen to it, I think it's quite catchy. Esp. the Bridget Jones part. The lyrics are cute and relate-able.

I've met someone that makes me feel seasick
Oh what a skill to have
Oh what a skill to have

The lead singer sounds a bit like Kele Okereke of Bloc Party. Both songs are worth listening to and over analysing so check em outttt!

*Clears throat* So it's come to my attention that some people don't like my blog. (Refer to poll on side bar). Why not? Actually, why didn't you guys leave a comment or something so I at least know why my blog isn't your 'thang'. I'm not saying I'll change my blog just to suit your needs but like.. yeah. I totally asked for it, didn't I? By putting that poll up. Oh, wretched me.

Hmm, my face is red like a tomato. Sunscreen does not do me justice!!!! And I'm not really a hat person =/ Even though I keep saying how much I want the school's latest uniform addition, the bucket hat. Ha. It's just cute, okay? Like, dorky cute. Like Michael Cera cute. Like [insert stalkees name] cute - the one who carries around Christmas shopping bags. Oh, have I told you that he's got another one? It's a pretty blue colour :) He's so fashionable.



What was I on about? I need to chill to LazyTown~!~!~! (ABC1, 4:10pm weekdays).

(LOL! Is that guy for-realzzzzz? You gotta watch it, the guy is so plastic. In both senses too. He's the evil guy in the show. Gosh, his face is evil!)


You know you love me,
xoxo

.. Why I'm so lazy? Gosh, procrastination to the max. I've got a 3 page report to do for CAFS and I'm not bothered to finish off the half that I started. It's due tomorrow and I've got less than 8 hours to accomplish 6 weeks worth of work.

Wish I was 30, flirty and thriving. Wish I was 30, flirty and thriving. Wish I was 30, flirty and thriving. Wish I was 30, flirty and thriving. Wish I was 30, flirty and thriving. Wish I was 30, flirty and thriving. Wish I was 30, flirty and thriving. Wish I was 30, flirty and thriving.

Oh, and as a continuation of my last post on wishes - yeah, I've got a wish in mind. BUT I'M SO NOT TELLING YOU! :s (P.S> It's got nothing to do with my age or school work!)

You know you still love me,

You want three wishes.

Three Wishes by The Pierces

We'd be so less fragile
If we're made from metal
And our hearts from iron
And our minds from steel
If we built an armour
For our tender bodies
Could we love each other
Would we strive to feel

And you want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
And then one you're saving for a rainy day**
If your lover ever takes her love away

You say you want to know her like a lover
And undo her damage, she'll be new again
Soon you'll find that if you try to save her
It renews her anger
You will never win

And you want three wishes:
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day**
If your lover ever takes her love away

You want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And a clean conscience
And all it's blisses
You want one true lover with a thousand kisses
You want soft and gentle and never vicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away


I always thought people were stupid for not wishing for a million other wishes with one of their initial three wishes. But then again, that totally defeats the purpose of having three wishes to start with. What you wish for reflects your values and standards, and your top 3 wishes show what you value most. Wishing for a gazillion other wishes would reflect one's own greedy nature, aye?

But seriously, I have a 4 page report for CAFS due on Thurs and I'm nowhere near finished :( I wish I was more studious and more of a geek people saw me as. Oh, but some don't see me as a geek 8-) Hope that someone is reading this or else I'll just sound totally big headed.

You'd expect girls in Teen Pageants to wish for world peace or just peace in general. Pop quiz: How would we know we were at peace if we were always at peace? Without some sort of war we'd be completely oblivious to the state we live in. How do we know what peace is like? By seeing all the devastation and terror in the news, hearing about it from a friend, experiencing it. After that, we know peace is the exact opposite. So no, I wouldn't be wishing for world peace. That's not something us humans are capable of sustaining over a long period of time. Not on Earth, anyways. I believe I will find eternal bliss and be at peace once I'm in Heaven, given that I be a good girl :)

So if I don't wish for peace, what else could I wish for? I read another interesting article in CAFS the other day, it was based on communication between males and females, particularly couples. They say what men want the most is to be loved whereas women want to be understood. Understood. Totally. Deffie. Agreed. Not that women don't want to be loved but heck, you gotta understand us to love us as well. Wouldn't you men just love to somehow comprehend a fifth of our actions? Okay, that's a double-edged sword. The life and times of a female tween is particularly difficult to experience itself. Understanding it could be tough but it'd allow you to understand the woman behind the chaos and all. So my wish to be understood would give me a peace of mind. It'd be amazing to find someone who understood me since I don't even understand myself some days.

So Jenny, you're down to your last wish. What ever could it be? I could save it for a rainy day** (song reference), but you know me, I splurge. I'm the suckkiest saver evurrrr! Quitter, sucks at saving. There's a correlation (!) I could stick to the oh-so-cliche wish to 'find love' but from wish-speak literally translated to English, that means: I want to open my eyes.

Oh, don't you get it?! Love is everywhere. From your mother's sweat to your existing friendships to a stranger's kindness - they're signs of their love for you. So open your eyes. Ever sat and wondered why your mum bothers cooking for your family, why the heck she spends all her time cleaning? Why do you have friends? (No, really). They love you, right? They're not just people who hang around 'just because'. They value your friendship and acknowledge your importance. By "a stranger's kindness", I don't imply stalkerish love but their simple act of common courtesy surely cannot be out of hate. I don't mean full-romance love either. There are many different types of love, but that's another entry.

I think I'd save my last wish, for now. I should go to sleep earlier tonight, goodness, I've been going to bed at like, 2am on a regular basis. UNHEALTHY!!!! Not only is it unhealthy, but I need sleep if I'm gonna wake up 10 minutes earlier tomorrow morning. I'm usually arriving to school on the bell or late but tomorrow I gotta hand in my Biology excursion note in the morning. Yes, the excursion is tomorrow. Yes, it's that wonderful journey to the creek I was talking about in a previous post. Yes, I'm super excited (!) NB: For all you n00bs, (!) is an indication of sarcasm.

Huzzah, 5 periods of creek watching awaits.

You know you love me,
xoxo

Yeah, I absolutely hate periods. Period. (Hope you made that connection with my blog title. Cos the majority of my blog titles are from songs and stuff, so.. ha.) Hope that explains my crazy mood swings as of late!

Spent half my day at church then the rest at Helen's. I helped her clean up her home and waited for Thuy & Aly to come over. We ate so much, we had food babies! And took sooo many photos, goodness. I'll upload after they upload.

I have a ridiculous amount of work to do :( Wish I was suddenly 30. (Thirty, flirty and thriving!)

But I'm tireddddddddddddd!@~!@~!!!~!!!!@#!@

Okay. I feel better now. Ah, I feel so up and down all the time.

I had an okay day today. You know how I said I was getting ready for bowling with friends? (Refer to previous post). Yeah, scrap that. I was on the way to AMF ffld when Helen, or rather, Thuy on Helen's phone called me and said that there was some team playing there and that there were no lanes left. OUHFOS! So I told my dad to stop driving even though we were on Cumberland Hwy. After lots of frustrating "WHATTT?"s we resorted to movies @ Stockies. Which consequently was the same place Thanh's birthday thang was held at. It was a lol situation. That is, lol at me for acting dog at Thanh's party for Helen's and now they're held at the same place. I saw Kathy and Andy first, then Jenny L and Fong. There was lots of o__o whatchu doing here?! so I decided to back into the cinemas.

I was staring at the movie title screen and gosh, crap-o-mania. None of the seemingly good movies were out yet (The Black Balloon, Hey Hey It's Esther Blueburger) and Helen wasn't crazy over The Other Boleyn Girl either. We settled with Jumper and I spent a ridiculous $10.59 on a medium combo (popcorn/ frozen coke) to share amongst my friends.

The theatre was virtually empty when the party gang walked in. Totally fine by me :D Thuy explained that Jumper was old by now. Say what? I just heard a review about it 2 weeks ago! Okay, that's old. I started to get comfortable (***LOL - inside joke) when these girls walked in, laughing their asses off. I ignored it since it was only the ads rolling and they just entered so, whatever. They started to really bug me when they were just constantly chattering, even after the movie started. Aly and Thuy weren't back from their food hunt yet (since the food at the cinema was $$$$$ and they were $) so when they did come back, Thuy was in an absolute hurry and suddenly tripped. It was sooo not funny yet the girls instantly cracked up. I was furious. Should have chucked my popcorn at them!

Nherh, so the kitten has claws.

Thankfully, the queen bee of the group left the cinema for some reason (good riddance!) and so the wannabes left. (Based on Aly's observations.)

Jumper was a reasonably good movie. Zomgggg, the main guy was so cute! Both the actors who portrayed him when he was young and older. Ahhhh :) No wonder Rachel Bilson is dating the older 'him' - Hayden Christensen. She was gorgeous in the movie, as ever. I really wished they put more work into the ending, though. It was kinda dull. Shouldn't be spoiling it for you guys so just watch it! Its still worth a watch despite the blah ending.

We walked out the theatre at around 7ish, excitedly exchanged reviews and went to pee. I saw Heaven holding a palette of cupcakes (which was Thanh's cake) as we walked out of the cinema. I really liked her dress, it was light pink with large black leopard print. I also liked Kathy's dress today, it was aqua-blue with a feather-shaped pattern. Thuy, Aly, Tramanh and I kept Heaven company as we waited for Thanh and co to finish up at the restaurant. As a gang of asians (and non asians) started coming towards us, Heaven hid behind Steph before we all shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to Thanh. Thuy & I said our 'Hi!'s and had our chit chats before Thuy's dad came to pick us up. The gang were singing Happy Birthday to Thanh really loudly when I walked back to Thuy's car. Thanh has a pretty good turn-up to his 16th party, even without me attending. Hope it was fully sweet Thanh, you bloody rangaaaaaaa :D As I'm on a birthday roll, Happy 16th to you too Helen! :)

Helen wasn't able to hold a get together at her house after movies today since we had Bible Study on. (The 'get together' is after Church tomorrow - I'll have photos up soon!) As Thuy's car moved down towards the church entrance, I didn't see anyone inside. Hmm. Helen approached us and told us that practically no one decided to show up. Pastor Dom was sitting alone before Helen, Simon, my brother and my sister turned up. I was shocked, was it really that bad?

I got out of the car, said 'thu' (someone Viet tell me I spelt that right =s) to Thuy's dad and skipidee deed to Helen. Pastor Dom was slumped in his seat at the corner of the room and I could tell he was disappointed. I tried cheering him up with a bright 'Hello!' but he just managed a weak smile. *Sigh*

We decided to start the study when no one showed after 15 minutes of waiting for any late-comers. The study was on the Holy Spirit. It was fairly nice, I learnt a few things. The Holy Spirit is of course, God, as one of the Trinity. It teaches us, leads us, speaks to us and comforts us. Helen asked if the Holy Spirit was 'that voice inside your head'. Pastor Dom replied with, No, that's our conscience. But the Holy Spirit does affect it. All Christians have the Holy Spirit in their lives, which is logical since the Holy Spirit is God. I learnt that the Holy Spirit is in my life (and every other Christian's life) because it teaches me and guides me so that my transformations may glorify and honour God. But isn't the Holy Spirit God anyways? Yeah.. that can be confusing. In fact, I just confused myself by adding in that question. Gosh, this just supports the fact that the more you know, the more questions you have.

Ah, I have to get up earlier than usual because Church starts at 10am tomorrow :s The youth now have Sunday School!!!111oneone (As in, another bible study, quizzes included.) Hooray for those permanent bags/suitcases under my eyes. I hold this belief that I was born with eye bags. I do not recall a time that I woke up without them. Oh wretched internet!

Yeah, you could say church takes over my life but I say, church is life! God is life :)

Don't let the people make you think that just because you're young you're useless
You know it's not naive to think that you can change the things around
and that no man is an island

For I'd rather be a pebble in an ocean vast and drown alone
Than make no sound

Ahhh shoot. I should be like, doing chores then getting ready to go to bowling with friends. Yet I'm here, in front of my computer. Blogging. Yeah, I'm blogging so you guys know I'm still alive :)

Mental block. Mental block. Mental block

Oh right, I wanted to quote this quote before.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. - Charles Caleb Colton.

I'm currently reading Double Cross by James Patterson. (Y'know, that guy who wrote the Women's Murder Club Series and Kiss The Girls.) It's freaking good, If you're itno suspensefull thriller books then James Patterson is your guy. That quote was mentioned because it's based on this psychopath who loves audiences for his killings and as you all know (or not), killers always have copycats.

Remember those Primary days when we'd be bitching with our friends about that girl whos always following us or copying the words we say or the things we bought at the canteen or that top we wore at Sandy's party?

Perhaps it still happens now.

Well, take it as a form of flattery my dear friends. When that person has the damn same haircut as you or when you started wearing fluoro green nail polish (FIRST!) or when you thought of this really cool line for your English essay but people rip it off you - it's all a compliment.

Gosh, it's almost 3pm. I should get going :s

I'll blog laterer. Erererer!


You know you love me (and miss me),

I know, I know - should be doing my English essay. Yet I have this massive urge to post these lyrics up. I'm always listening to music when I'm doing work and this song came on. It instantly grabbed my attention as I tuned into the lyrics. Highly recommended download :)


Swallowed In The Sea by Coldplay

You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me
And that's what made me see where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf and kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself, you can only blame me

And I could write a song a hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong and you belong with me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line and hung me out to dry
Darling, that's when I decide to go see you
You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes
Made me realize what I could not see

And I could write a book, the one they'll say that shook the world
And then it took, it took it back from me
And I could write it down or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found and you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song a hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong and you belong with me
The streets you’re walking on, a thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong and you belong with me
Oh, what good is it to live with nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive, not loving all you see
Oh, the streets you’re walking on a thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong and you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me, not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea


Oh, stress stress stress. I shall be going to the library as much as I can tomorrow - during and after school. There was a brief talk about the state library today with Chris and Vee. They say inside its dead silent and has the perfect atmosphere to study in. I must nerd it out there one day!

Back to English essay I go :(

I hope you've been able to get by life without my usual dose of extra-ordinary-day rants for the past 3 days. I well and truly believe that I'm a sloth inside a 15 year old girl's body. Do sloths morph? Cos yeah, today I feel active. I went for a little jog in the park instead of tutor today. Oh yeah, I totally quit tutor - it's not my Tutor, it's me! (So cliche) Tutor just 'ain't my thang'.

I'm a quitter. I've quit tutor after a week, my first job after 3 weeks, guitar lessons after a few months, singing lessons after one lesson, my exercise regime after 3 days (it's on/off, really), my Year 11 study freak routine, the list goes on. I remember quitting Viet school after a year for I did not advance from the 1st grade.

Does that mean I have not set any goals to achieve, that I don't aim for anything? Course not! I'm just lazy. It's quite contradictory when I quit activities, claiming I have no time when all I do is laze around and like.. blog. Oh, but I can be pretty determined, just you wait. I shall blog about my super high UAI in 2 years time :) *Hyperventilatesssss*

Right now I'm supposed to make study notes for practically every subject since I have 238753483404 assessments and exams coming up in the next couple of weeks. Today I had a Legal Studies exam and this Friday I have an English task due. Next week I have another Legal Studies exam which is inconveniently set on the same day as my Biology excursion (which is another exam, held at a creek), so I have to do Legal the day before. The same week I have a CAFS assessment (4 page report) due on the same day as my school Cross Country.

Evidently Year 11 is going to be one of the best years of my life.

I was serious. I can tell that this year will be a defining year where I'm pushed to the limit and really discover how mentally strong I am. Hopefully I won't be one to turn to anti-depressants or inflicting physical injury. I feel that blogging is a fantastic release in itself. For those who don't know me enough (poor souls), I currently aim to be a psychologist! Perhaps I'll dabble in Journalism, I'm not sure yet. I'm keeping my options open for now.

School was extra ordinary today, as per usual. After my chaotic morning rush to school, my socks were slipping on my way to roll call. Now why did they introduce roll call? There's a roll marked at the beginning of every single period anyways. I believe it is a total waste of time and of life! *Dramatic faint* They could at least extend it an extra 10-15 minutes as to turn them into study periods in the morning or something.

My first subject was Modern History. We're up to the gory bits of The Reign Of Terror which occurred in France, 1793. Search it up, my dear stalkers! My teacher is fantastic, she really understands students and how we think (at 9am in the morning).

At recess I picked up a Bandage Bear box with Emmie, Vee & Khanh. They are sooo cute, I suggest you buy one, its for a great cause (Westmead Children's Hospital). There was a time when I wanted to be a doctor, or at least a nurse. I changed my mind after visiting my mum's friend one day. The hospital was cold and lifeless (ahh, no pun intended!). It was sterile yet icky. I told my mum how I felt about the atmosphere. She replied with, "People who work at hospitals have a heart of gold for they care so much for humans to work in such conditions." (Okay, so she said it in Viet but that was the jist of it.)

My Legal Studies test was after reccess. I was acting Miss-Know-It-All and full boasted how much I knew about Aboriginal Customary Law. The test began, I looked at the questions and thought, Goodness, I studied the wrong information. Yeah, I gotta practice humility or I will humiliate myself.

Legal was a triple so time totally dragged by. I was bored off my face until the bell rang for lunch. I was everywhere at lunch, I barely spend time with my group of friends anymore. I really miss them even though I see them every day at school. I was mainly in the library, collecting an interview I left for one of the librarians concerning my CAFS assignment. The lady was lovely, I admire her values and such. I wish to grow old, happy and content like her. Maybe I'll become a librarian when I'm 50 something.

At the end of lunch I left my Bandage Bear box with Emmie and Chris (I was supposed to take it home). I know, I know - total quitter.

Biology topped off my day at school. I was so clumsy during those three periods!!!!!! I somehow managed to break not only a slide but also a petri dish. Goshhh, one was enough! :( My teacher then re-assured me (a lot) by saying, 'Oh don't worry, it's just a petri dish!' She then told me to break something else because it was tradition in her family to do things in threes. I felt bad :s We mainly focused on cell organelles and drawing of onion cells. I'm not sure if Biology is my niche. I thought of Biology as study on mainly humans. I'm probably going to drop it this year.

I was lucky enough to catch my stalkee walking when the home bell went. I know I said I wouldn't stalk him anymore.. [Insert friend's name]: YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM!!! Yeah, I just think he's really dorky and therefore cute. He carries around this wicked Christmas themed Woolies bag everyday (while wearing a backpack, mind you) and recently got this adorable hair cut where the sides of his head are like, almost shaved off. Hot. Oh and he can shuffle - backwards!!!!!!!!!!!!

I came home feeling XXTIRED and realised I had tutor. I went, Nah, tutor ain't for me. This isn't temporary, I'm just not suitable for tutor! Watched my daily dose of Arthur then decided to go for a jog. I really hope I don't quit jogging so I end up somewhat capable of Cross Country next week. After a long shower, I grabbed a bite to eat and basically lazed around. Felt an urge to play guitar after that, so I did. Perhaps I'll have lessons again. Perhaps. I also really want to learn how to play the harp. Coolio, yah? But harps are like, super expensive :s I'm def. making my children musical when I'm a mummy!

I grew tired of guitar so I hopped on the computer and have been blogging for quite some time now. I've totally abandoned my Facebook :o Must reply later. Does anyone still use MySpace anymore? It's sooo 2006!

So that was my day in a nutshell! :) Predictions for next few hours: Doing a bit of homework before 9 30pm - BURN NOTICE!!! I love that show, highly recommended watch! Then probably will be sleeping at an unhealthy 2am.

What gives, what helps? The Intuition.

Feist has very good introspective music. So does Coldplay. And Death Cab. And Sufjan Stevens. And Aqualung.

.. Just in case you wondered why the heck I like them so much/ listen to them 24/7.

I'm quite an introspective being. To undergo introspection is to examine one's internal state, one's own mind, one's own feelings.

Maybe that's why I word vomit so much. I just have to say everything that I've thought of because there's so much on my mind. All the time.

And maybe that's why I like music so much. Because that's when I realise others feel the same way I feel and they express that feeling ever-so-melodic-ly.

Oh and, I just have a lot of feelings. Y'know? *Sniffs* I'm utterly emotional.

So what's on your mind, you ask? (Or you didn't really ask, I really don't care.) This question always overwhelms me because it just feels like theres so much to say and so little time. Or when I say it, it'll be old news. Or maybe that's when I realise theres not much to say. Sometimes its just one really 'small' thing, that is, just one thing, thats really bugging me.



So I reply, 'Oh.. nothing.'


Introspective music:


Feist -
Intuition
That's What I Say, Not What I Mean


Coldplay -
X&Y
For You
Your Love Means Everything Pt. 2



Death Cab For Cutie -
Brothers On A Hotel Bed,

Sufjan Stevens -

Casimir Pulaski Day
We Won't Need Legs To Stand

Aqualung -
If I Fall
Extra Ordinary Thing
Strange & Beautiful (I'll Put A Spell On You)
Gentle

FYI: I was watching The Day After Tomorrow during stormy weather last night.

Freaky? No- freaking cool!

For all those who haven't seen it (freaks!!!), it's a pretty cool movie with flippin' special effects. It is amazing to watch but also creepy cos it shows what the world would be like if we all keep polluting at the rate we are now. A highly recommended watch.

P.S> there's Jake Gyllenhaal!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Jake - you are too cute!!!!
