Post Christmas Update, Early New Year's Update

So how's everybody? Hope you all enjoyed Christmas! Go ahead and comment below any Christmas stories to tell or whatever you really want to just say about your holidays.

I wasn't really up to updating, since there's nothing really to talk about. I've been studying and reading most of the time (going to the Internet during the rest, having a PewDiePie marathon), and it just occurred to me. 2013 is almost over. It's been a good year, but not good enough, in my case. Not much bad things happened, and yet I feel like not much happened.

Recently, I've dyed my hair. And not full-on bright dyed. Just blonde tips. Why only the tips, you ask? Well, being the lazy smart person I am, I decided it'll be better to just dye the tips, rather than having all of my hair dyed, then my roots showing up, needing to dye them back again. See? This is the extent of my laziness knowledge.

There's been some mental stress with me lately, since I've just talked to a friend, but yeah, nothing really 'new' or 'exciting'. You could count New Year's being exciting, I suppose. People say that the New Year's the time to change, but I honestly don't believe in that. Why would you change just for one day, when you could change everyday? There are some people who'll be all "I'll be more progressive this year!", then they'll just waste away and say "There's always next year.". Why not change today, instead of waiting for something to happen?

Anyways, I'll be updating during the New Year's as well. Just to, you know, greet the new year. To end this, here's Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses. Which reminds me, yesterday, my dad was browsing through my songs, and he said I actually had 'good taste' in music. That's actually the first time he complimented my taste in anything. And at the moment, I've been reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth, since I have yet to finish the trilogy. Stay amazing!

The Holidays Ladies And Gentlemen

After all this time waiting, it's finally the holidays! Everyone going out to the shopping centres, beaches and other places! (then there's me who wants to study)

The previous Monday, we went on an excursion to the zoo. It was fun, loads of pictures to take and animals that were basically sleeping that day. I was even able to have a Tarzan moment with a monkey (that part of the movie when Tarzan puts his hand against his mother's hand). It was surely memorable.

I got my report last Wednesday, and I (think) I did fairly well. I got an A on English, Science and Art. Then Bs and Cs with the rest of my classes. And there was this part where the teachers commented on the student, and all the teachers are so nice. Even if I wasn't in the school for too long, I'll really miss them. (and funny how they think i'm this 'nice' figure to them)

I'm currently studying Biology and Chemistry in preparation for next year, with the help of the books I borrowed from the library (it still amazes me how long you could borrow these books, and you could borrow a lot at the same time). And before any of you go all 'it's the holidays! why would you be studying?', I just want to say that I always have this great urge to study and actually be 'nice' at the beginning of school breaks. Give me maybe a few days or so, then I'll eventually become tired and get back to wasting my time on the Internet.

Well, that's all for this week (or day). I might update tomorrow if there's something to talk about. Until then, here's Lollipop by Mika and I have been reading More Than This by Patrick Ness. Hope you all enjoyed this update, and I'll post soon. Cheers!

Lots of Links

Hey guys. So it's finally my final week at school! After Thursday (which is my final day), I'll be able to be even more active on this blog, rather than just posting something once a week.

So recently I've been trying to keep my Twitter and Tumblr updated, and I'm actually getting less active on this blog. So if by any chance I'll suddenly stop posting, you know where to find me (then you could force me to update).

It's finally getting hot over here, and it's only December. From what I know, it'll be 41 degrees centigrade, and we'll be going on an excursion to the zoo later today. In all honesty, I don't think I'll last long here. 

Almost Christmas, everybody! I enjoy Christmas, sure, but it's like some people are just being nice just because of the holidays. So yeah, I'm not really into the decorating and all. But here's Shane Dawson's This Christmas Life to get you all pumped up (if you're still not in the festive mood). Please like and subscribe to him. He's one of my absolute favourite YouTubers. Check out his other videos too!

I guess that's all I have for you. So Shane's music video is just to get you all into the Christmas spirit (or to the next Hannukah spirt. Even the Kwanzaa spirit and any other holiday you all celebrate), and here's Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey because of it actually reminding me of a book series.

But wait! The update isn't over just yet (boo). I've decided to add another detail to my posts. And that detail is telling you all what I'm currently reading! Okay, maybe not really 'exciting' and whatnot, but hey, that's me. So at the moment, I'm reading The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett, a book my friend made me read. It's going great so far, and I hope you all enjoyed this small update. Until next time!

Yet Another Friday

Hey guys! It's yet another Friday, and you all receive an update.

First things first, I would like to greet an amazing friend of mine a happy birthday. I doubt she'll be reading this (since she doesn't even know I have a blog, haha), but love, if you are reading this, happy birthday and I hope you'll enjoy today (even if you'll be at school for the whole day), and I'm sorry I couldn't come there. I'm sure I'll come back some other time though. I love you!

Okay. So I'm not sure about you guys, but this week has been too long in my opinion. There's so many deadlines to meet, and lots of unnecessary drama happening, and I just want to stay in bed. I know it may sound kind of small, but really, all I want to do is survive the last two weeks of school, so I could just go back to sleep.

Later today, I'll be with Aleyna skateboarding (or at least me attempting to skateboard), and in all honesty, I don't want to. I mean, that's what I say every time I go skateboarding, but by the end of the day, I'll be ecstatic. I'm just really tired and want to sleep. Tomorrow, I'll also be going over my other friend's house, and it's somewhat in the morning (12 noon to be exact. that's still morning for me okay), so I need to rest.

The whole week, I've going to school earlier than usual. Here's the thing; my friends and I were told that our project for Art was due next week, along with a reflection we were suppose to do. So we decided that we'll do it during lunch, since we only have a few days of Art. The teacher told us we should do it during the mornings, rather than at lunch, since she said she wouldn't be there. So we went to school earlier, did our project, and kept coming back. My friend then decided that we should try to check if there's anyone at the Art room during lunch, so we could have more time. And hey, guess what? There were a lot of people. So we were actually allowed to go there during lunch. Wow.

Another new thing? Well, I've been trying to memorise the alphabet in Australian Sign Language (they call it here AuSLang [someone correct me if i'm wrong here]). Not really new, since I've been learning it the past month or so. And I memorised it! Now I'm thinking of maybe French Sign Language (since I already know American), and maybe Irish next? I'm not sure. If I memorised the alphabet, that's good enough for now.

Wondering why I'm learning sign language in different languages? I'm not exactly sure why. I just like learning things not many people don't know about. And yeah, this might sound strange, but I like learning sing language in another language than actually learning a different language. I don't know with myself, okay. (does knowing sign language in other languages counts as multilingual?)

I guess I should stop here. I'll probably post another update during the weekend. I'm trying to be active again on my Twitter, so you guys could check that out if you want. Tweet me if you want to talk too (just, you know, tell me if you're a reader of this, so I'll know). For today, we have Wayfaring Stranger by Ed Sheeran. Bye for now!

OKAY. THIS WOULD BE MY FINAL THEME. FOR NOW. ENJOY.

December

It's the first day of December once again! And, okay, I'm not really feeling the Christmas vibe. Thank you, hot weather.

I'm thinking of changing my theme again. I'm not sure why. I think it's because it seems so... unlike me. Nothing against the theme, it just doesn't really seem to 'fit' me, as cliche as it sounds. So I'll be putting my blog under maintenance later today. Now let me tell you what's been happening the past few days.

So like I said in my previous update, we were sorted into our mentors for next year. And wow. I'm in one of those rooms where you know everyone by name, but like, just because you've been in a class together or something. But then you guys never actually talked. Yeah, well, that's my situation. The only person I talk to is Lara, my friend in Mandarin, and yeah. I don't know how I'll survive.

To make things worse, I was expecting to get my timetable by the end of that day. But, hey, guess what? I didn't! (please know that I'm being sarcastic here) And I was excited to know my schedule. Now I'm just anxious.

Last Tuesday, our school had a social. People jumping up and down, sweating, and eating. And apparently, there were a lot of people who got together, and stuff. Everyone was eventually talking about it the day after. But, hey, I slept for more than 8 hours, while people were complaining in the morning how tired they were (then again, i was still tired), so I think I enjoyed myself more that night.

Yesterday, my friend, Clair, and I went to watch Catching Fire, since Clair wanted to watch (and it was only my second time watching, so). Wasn't nice to see Mags die twice okay (spoiler alert). Everything was fine and all, but I was kind of annoyed with the children. And by children, I mean the kids that seemed to be 10 years old or so (no offence if any of you guys who are reading this). But it was absolutely annoying.

The floors of the cinema are carpeted, and underneath is wood (I think), so whenever someone walks, it would be heard and felt inside the whole place. And, hey, guess what? The children decided to jump from the top of the stairs to the bottom during the movie. They were also being loud. Sure, I was their age once, but come on.

Anyways, enough of that. It's almost the end of school! And I just want to spend my days being productive with drawing and reading (or just waste my time sleeping and going through Tumblr), so yeah, I'll be more active on this blog (I swear, I will be).

That's it for now. I'll be skateboarding with another friend of mine, and let's just hope I don't fall as much as I did the last time. Here's Infatuation by Maroon 5, somehow considered 'an old song' by some people. But I like Maroon 5 (if you haven't noticed by now). And while searching the link for the song, an ad popped up. I was about to skip, but then, woah, it was Phil. Phil Lester. AmazingPhil. I honestly did not understand what was going on, but oh well. Cheers!

25 VIEWS IN AN HOUR. THANK YOU GUYS! AND I CHANGED MY THEME. COMMENTS?

'ello!

So it's a thursday, it's almost 2 in the morning here, and I'm doing school stuff (and 'blogging'). So, hey, I haven't been updating again. Like I said before, I've been busy. But this week's the deadline of all our requirements, and it's almost the end of the year, so yay. I'll have more time to waste after school.

Recently, I've received my courses for next year. And I'm actually quite happy with my results (except, you know, Phys Ed, because i suck). Teachers have been telling us that we shouldn't expect all our first options, since it's like a first comes, first served kind of thing, and a lot of students want the same courses, so I accepted that. They also said that it'll be rare for you to have any of your first options.

But, hey, guess what? Me actually handing in my form before anybody else actually proved its purpose. I got all of the courses I wanted! I got Craft Design, Photography, Visual Arts, Design & Engineering, Graphics & Animations and Programming Principles. And the fact that I got English Literature, and course 2 in both Maths and Science makes me ecstatic. I feel like this is going to be a good year.

Later after lunch, we'll be having a transition from the Middle School to the Senior School, and we'll be meeting our new mentors. I'm excited, yet terrified at the same time. Excited that I'll be able to get my timetable for next year, and terrified that I have to force myself to socialise due to the possibility of me not having a friend in my mentor. So, yeah. Hopefully, I could talk to one person (at least one, please). 

What else is new? Well, I memorised the Australian Sign Language alphabet! And now, it's kind of my goal to learn sign languages from other countries, since I like learning other languages. And I'm just wondering. When doing sign language for French, or any language that have accents, do you guys also sign with the accents? Or something else? Someone please educate me; comment below if you know anything about this.

In my previous post, I said that i'll put up facts about me and a book rec. I'll post a couple of book recs by the end of the week, and maybe the facts after this week (I'm not sure with the facts, since no one really cares, haha). So stay tuned! (did I really just put that there) (yes, yes I did). To end this post, here's Can't Stand It by Never Shout Never, since I got it stuck in my head for a while now, and the song is adorable. Don't judge me. Bye!

Honestly

Ever got the feeling that you war to be productive, but your body won't physically move? I've been sitting for about an hour yesterday wanting to do some notes for school, but my body won't let me. It's like it's actually preventing me from doing work.

So guess what I did yesterday? If you said go outside and go to the shopping centre, then you my friend, are wrong (duh). Yesterday, I wasted my time watching YouTubers again. Yup. Just watching videos I've seen too many times to be considered 'healthy'.

Anyways, for today, I decided to do a book rec and a little thing called '50 facts about me'. It may not be very 'interesting', but I need to make this blog, um, active(?) And I'm not exactly sure why I want to do this, honestly. I just feel like I'm sharing a lot about my days and such, but I'm not exactly giving information about me, if that makes sense (I swear, it sounded good in my head).

I'll be doing the 50 facts first, then I'll do the book rec later today, since I'll be going somewhere in a few minutes (I think). And, yeah, that's it for an update. So here's Backseat Serenade by All Time Low, and I think it's kind of my thing now. Making you guys listen to songs by the same artists. Oh well. Hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye!

Finally Friday

I don't know about you guys, but I feel really tired every Friday. Lately, my weeks have been even more tiring than usual, and I don't see any actual difference. I've just been exhausted.

So, I have a new Tumblr blog. Yup. Another one. It mostly focuses on YouTubers and stuff. It's basically like my personal blog, but with less hipster photos. So yeah. Go follow me! Somewhere In Neverland.

I need to go. I just wanted to do a quick update. For today, we have Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran. Hope you all enjoy your weekend, and be productive. Because I know I won't. Bye!

This is somewhat uncomfortable

Okay. Honestly. I cannot take this. I'm sweaty and gross, and I didn't even do sport today. And before some of you will tell me how hot wherever you are, please. It's just. It's almost Christmas, and it's summer. Well, technically, it's spring here at the moment. But I'm not used to it. I mean, it doesn't snow back at home during December or something. But it's still cold. And now my friends are always telling me that it'll be hotter during Christmas.

Anyways, if you haven't heard, there was a typhoon in the Philippines. It would be nice if any of you guys who are regulars of my blog (did i just actually say regulars) would donate. Or at least send prayers? I just wish people who were affected would be alright.

On a lighter note, I'm having um, a 'debate' with my friend. Who would you rather be? Peter Pan or Captain Jack Sparrow? I mean, they're both amazing. But come on. It's also obvious who I went for. (if not, then okay). So if you guys want to help me win (PLEASE), comment below and tell me your opinion guys.

So, anyways, I need to end this. Because there's obviously nothing else to talk about. Or anything interesting happening. So here's Misery by Maroon 5 because it's been stuck in my head. Cheers!

You know what?

Forget about posting once a week. I give up. I'm tempted to post whenever I want, and not just during Fridays. And I've been wanting to post, even if there's nothing really important or interesting to post about. I'm sorry.

So if you guys haven't noticed, my header was finally uploaded! And I found out that there wasn't anything wrong with my file. Apparently, it was my laptop. My laptop sometimes can't play any videos from YouTube for some reason, and now it won't upload any pictures from my laptop to the internet. Anybody know why it's functioning like this? I don't want to surrender my laptop to get it checked. It'll take a long time, and I just don't like people checking my stuff.

Anyways, my header. It isn't really anything big, but I kind of like it. It's simple, and clean. Okay, fine, it looks hipster-ish. But I don't know what or how to make my new header. So, yeah. If anyone out there has a suggestion, feel free to comment.

Speaking of comment, it'll be nice to receive one. Negative or positive, I don't honestly mind. It's just... I don't know. I actually received more than 700 (going into 800 actually) pageviews. Thank you guys so much! It would be better to get to know you guys more. I mean, you know, since all of you people who I don't actually know read about my boring days. So feel free to comment whatever you want. It's just like actual reassurance that someone out there actually reads my posts, and not just like whatever for the hell of it.

"Hey Vee, why are you actually posting something so willingly?"

(let's get real, none of you guys really want to know. hell, if i'm in your spot, i would stop reading)

I'm sorry for dumping this emotional thing I have on the internet. I promised I wouldn't do that (then again, I broke that promise a long time ago) on this blog, since I have people to talk to with about. But yeah. That's the thing. I rarely talk to my friends these days. And I miss them a lot. I mean, I want to talk to so many people, but I feel like I'm annoying them or something if I start the conversation. So yes, I actually just wait for someone to say hi to me.

Yeah, I know I'm being dramatic and whiny. I just miss actually talking to people and not feeling like I bother them. And I don't even know if some people are actually telling the truth, even more to being genuine. It's upsetting me greatly, and I feel so lost.

Oh. Well. Sorry about that. If anybody out there wants to talk about something, I'm always free. You could send me an e-mail (xxaleclightwood@gmail.com), and we could just talk, or whatever. Here's How To Save A Life by The Fray for some people who just need something. Hope you all enjoy yourselves!

That's been decided then

Hey guys! So I decided (for now) that I'll be updating this blog during Fridays. I'll be updating once a week, twice if there's actually something important or exciting happening. But yeah. Until school ends, I'll only be updating on Fridays.

So my header's still plain text. Yeah, apparently, my file's too big(?). I'm not exactly sure. I'll be trying again soon (honestly, it's nothing much. I just want to change it) and hopefully, it'll work out good.

Last week was my dad's birthday. And we actually went to the beach. Yes. I went to the beach. I went to the beach. I know. It's unusual of me. But hey, it's my dad's birthday. And I legit went to the water. I kind of went swimming. If you count 'being-knocked-over-by-the-current' swimming. Then yes. I went swimming.

Believe it or not, I also played tennis. Sorta tennis. It was for Phys Ed. And I kind of played. I still suck, but hey, at least I tried. Bad news? My arm got a tan. Yup. Arm. Not both arms. Just one. And whenever I roll up my sleeves, you could actually see the difference on my arm. It's not really dark, but it's kind of noticeable.

Hmmm. I have a lot of stuff due the following weeks. This essay I'll be doing for English. A podcast we're suppose to make for Society and Environment. And we have tests and stuff. Wish for me to survive!

I guess I'll be doing some work now. I want to try and be productive. And I'm having a migraine right now. So here's 21 Guns by Green Day. Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

BLOG UNDER RENOVATION (OR AT LEAST THE HEADER) WILL TRY TO POST NEW HEADER SOON (I HAVE ONE, IT JUST WON'T LOAD). THANK YOU.

Well, this is awkward

Hey there! I'm back from the dead (yay) 

If you haven't noticed, I haven't been posting lately. Again. Well, let me tell you this: I have been working hard on my schoolwork. Yup. Vee's actually doing a lot more work than before. And, well, I'm drained. And it's too early for normal people to be awake at this time, but hey, it's basically the only spare time I get when I'm not doing work. So let me waste that spare time to talk about things that has happened since my last update (yay i say).

So in my previous update, I told you guys that I had a friend coming over. And, yeah, she did, and we had lots of fun. She made me listen to lots of songs I was (sadly) oblivious to, and wow, I feel like I've been living under a rock lately. And I showed her some of my favourite YouTubers, and she liked them! That sure was a great day.

After a few days my friend went over to my house, school started once again for my final term. Just when I thought I could get a short break (since it was like the first week last week), loads of work started piling up, and I've been restless. Doing as much work as I can, always studying, less contact with people. Yeah. I don't know how I feel about this.

Any of you remembered the script I was doing for my English class before? Our teacher said we may or may not be acting them out. Although we'll be in groups, and we get to choose whose script to use, I don't really think it's a great idea (in my opinion). Usually, activities in groups will cause lots of trouble and could end up a disaster (plus i can't act).

For now, I have to finish my French paper (I know I'm gonna fail this class), my Business project, my Maths work, and lots more. Then I need to start thinking for my essay on English (about sitcoms, and we've been watching lots of sitcoms lately). And the fact that I have a document study in my History class kinda adds to the pile. Oh.

We'll be having our sports carnival next week, and wow, I'm anxious. It might be really hot on that day, and our teacher told us that there's no shade, since it's an open field. Great. Just what I need. A whole day of staying under the sun, running and sweating, with no shade. (I'm being sarcastic here). Why isn't it possible to just write a paper on sports? (now I'm being genuine).

On a lighter note, I got addicted to some games. There's Lunaria Story (which is kinda similar to Ragnarok). It's a fun game, but it could get kinda boring, since almost everything is automatically done for you (like if you click on a quest, you could go on 'AFK' mode, and come back to find the quest completed). I mean, it's great that it finishes the quest, but I don't know, I like the thrill of actually doing some action (that doesn't require me doing the actual said action). If you happen to play Lunaria Story, you could add me to your friends list (I swear, I will bless you most of the time). My display name's RainCevo (and I'm an elementalist).

The other game I've been playing is Social Life (ironic since i don't have one). It's basically like Sims, but it's like, anime version (?) But yeah, you do quests and level up and stuff too. I just like getting lots of money and renovating my house all the time.

Yesterday. I thought it was Friday yesterday (it was Thursday). And wow, was I tired. After school, I went with my friend to the library. We walked there, and wow. I think we walked for a mile or so (I don't do this 'exercise' or 'going outside' much okay). And when we actually got to the library to do some schoolwork, we were too tired from walking. Fun though.

I'm not going to ignore the fact that The House of Hades (from The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan) and Allegiant (from the Divergent series by Veronica Roth) are out now! (I'm not really sure though; I got mine on my phone). I'm currently reading House of Hades, and I have yet to actually get started on Insurgent (hopefully I'll have enough time soon). Not to mention that lots of movies would be coming up (like Thor: The Dark World, Catching Fire, Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars). Hopefully, I'll survive long enough.

So I guess this is a pretty long update. I guess I could try to update daily, but I'm starting to think of just updating once a week or so, since nothing really special happens to me everyday. But that has yet to be decided. Until then, I'll just be here. Doing work. Yeah. And here's Let Me Go by Avril Lavigne ft. Chad Kroeger since I heard that song a few week ago when there wasn't a music video for it yet. Good day!

Superman Shoes

What even

Oh look. Vee actually updated. Yay. But there's honestly nothing to update you guys about. Well, there are some stuff, but nothing really big and life changing (I suppose). But oh well. Let me tell you what happened to me lately.

I've been watching a lot of YouTubers, and my parents told me it isn't healthy (haha). I was thinking if I should start a vlog; then again, I can't even make a blog interesting. How the hell will I be able to make a successful vlog. Like come on. I can't think of anything 'fun' but to talk about my boring weeks.

So I don't know if you guys know this, but I may or may not be a geek. Yeah. Lots of people tell me I'm a nerd, but come on. There's a difference between a nerd and a geek.

A nerd is someone who's smart, responsible, and always studying (could also be someone who's socially awkward, but we'll use the first definition). Then there's a geek, who's passionate about certain things (fandoms, per say). So yeah. I'm more of a geek.

Why am I did I just explain the difference between the two? Well, I don't know if I'm the only one out there, but I'm kinda getting tired with the misconceptions with geeks and nerds. And the fact that I bought Superman shoes. Yes. I bought shoes that has Superman on them. Converse shoes actually. They're pretty great, if you ask me.

My dad told me I might get teased because of having Superman shoes. Well, excuse you if you find it weird for a teen to wear those shoes. (I'm sorry, I get really sassy when people tempt me) Although, I've been wearing those shoes ever since I bought them, and there are actually some people who looked kinda surprised (in a good way, I think). Apparently it isn't common for a girl to wear 'geeky' shoes, and to be wearing jeans. Oh well.

A friend of mine will be going to my house tomorrow (I might post some pictures here if they're good enough, I guess), and we'll just be spending the day watching some movies and stuff. And maybe if we have time, I'll introduce her to some YouTubers (you know, by showing her videos and stuff). Hopefully, after the day, I could have someone to talk to about videos (let's face it, it's sad when you can't talk to someone about something).

I'll be writing this long letter for a friend now (and my leg's killing me), so yeah. I'm going to end this update. For today, I give you Clarity by Zedd ft. Foxes just because it got stuck in my head last night. Live long and prosper! (I'm sorry, I had to).

I don't even know anymore

So yeah. That drawing? Would have to wait. It's not really good and all, just yeah. And my head's kinda hurting right now. I blame the lights.

Tonight would be a good night for me. In a few minutes, I'll be watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S., then The Big Bang Theory, then Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and finally, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. This'll be fun. And hopefully I won't fall asleep early (I'm praying okay).

I'm still watching some YouTubers. And I still want some suggestions. So yeah. If you guys have any suggestions, comment the YouTuber.

I'll go back to reading for a while. Here we have Acapella by Karmin which is a great song (okay, I may say that on almost all of the songs I suggest to you guys, but hey, it really is). Thanks for reading, and enjoy!

For the love of all things good

Have you ever got that blast of inspiration out of nowhere? Like you're just scrolling through you Tumblr dashboard, then WOAH inspiration hits you. That happened to me. Yeah, it was great, sure. What sucks when you get a blast of inspiration out of nowhere? You don't know how the hell you'll do that idea.

The drawing I was suppose to post? Yeah, I was thinking of colouring the background with watercolour paints. For the whole afternoon, I planned to finish it by tonight, then scan, then post. So I was going through my room, most of my stuff in boxes (my parents tell me I'm messy, but at least I actually know where my things are), and as I was going through boxes (getting hit by many boxes along the way), I found a box of brushes! Yay! What sucks? No watercolour paints.

I tried asking my mum about the paints, but she didn't know, so I needed to wait for my dad to wake up (since he's the only one who knows what're in the boxes). I was just sitting in the living room for more than 3 hours, waiting. What I found out when my dad woke up? We didn't bring the paints. And I actually wasted 3 hours doing nothing. I hate myself.

On a lighter note, I was on Skype with my friends this morning. It was always great to see familiar faces. And I miss them so much. Wish I knew when I'd go visit. Maybe then I could possibly give them something? Hopefully.

And I've been watching YouTubers! And wow, what have I been doing all my life? I didn't really see the big fuss about YouTubers before (I'm naive, I'm sorry). But now that I watched some... wow. Seriously. I have been missing out on a lot. Currently, I'm watching danisnotonfire an amazing YouTuber, and hopefully before school starts (doubt that will ever happen), I could finish some of the YouTuber's I've been wanting to watch for a while now.

Anyways, wish you guys do productive things everyday! (please do. Do it for you. Do it for me. Do it for all of the people who're reading this right now) For today (tonight here, actually), here we have Gold by Bruno Mars ft. Jahron B because there are apparently some people who think Bruno Mars only has 5 songs (good job). Oh, and happy October! Ciao!

So for free-dress day, we had to dress up as a kids' character. Guess who I went as? (sorry for the low quality, I got this off of my Instagram since I couldn't find my camera that time)

Trying

Okay, so maybe I haven't been productive lately. I practically just sleep the whole day. So I'll try to look for stuff to post. Or I would study for my science (yes, I want to do work during the holidays, sue me).

I'm still on Tumblr, but I feel so distracted. Like I'll be posting a lot of things for a while, then I'll stop, then continue, then then the cycle goes on. So I guess I'll go try something productive.

I'll post a drawing tomorrow though. Nothing really big. Just, yeah, a drawing. I don't know okay. I have really nothing much to share (okay, maybe I do, but idk, you guys will get bored with the stuff I'll share).

Maybe I'll try watching some YouTubers or something. Any suggestions? Anyways, until then, here's Wizard Love by Meekakitty ft. heyhihello because I like it (not to mention that the song gives me memories). So enjoy, stay at home, and feed a turtle some chicken!

Nothing much

Nothing much to say about today. I was just on my bed the whole afternoon going through my Tumblr (which I just renovated once more) and eating cookies. So much for being productive.

I'm thinking of all the stuff I'll be doing this week, but I'm not sure how I'll do it or when. This is the issue with me. i have a lot of ideas and plans, and when I think about when I'll do it, it well end up being, 'oh, I have no time, I'll do it tomorrow'. It sucks okay.

So I just logged into my Pottermore once more. And apparently Slytherin was awarded most generous. Oh well. No one knows. And I started getting more house points and stuff. And I was actually successful in brewing a potion (two actually!). And Prisoner of Azkaban was open! I really have a lot of catching up to do. (You guys could friend me if you want! DragonKey21946)

I guess I'll go draw something right now. Hopefully it'll turn out right. Here's Love Somebody by Maroon 5 for a somewhat mellow feel for you all today! Thank you to for constantly viewing this blog. Bye!

Finally break

It's finally break! And how did I start my Saturday? I may or may not have slept for the whole day. Come on. I have a two week break. How could I survive on 3 hours of sleep. I might as well start the break with a lot of rest (so I could plot world domination).

I guess I'll be posting some of my works here (yes? No? Maybe?). Hopefully I'll be able to post something new. And if not, I'll just post some random stuff here. Or maybe, if you guys want, you could always visit my Tumblr maybe not interesting to some of you guys, but yeah. As cliche as it sounds, it shows a lot about me.

Okay, I admit, there's nothing I really have to tell. I'll just continue watching some episodes and stuff. And eat square cookies. Yes, square cookies. This is why I love my mum. So here's Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia to get you all yelling (okay, don't, but whatever). Cheers!

Yet another update

I fell asleep at 4 PM. Consequence? I woke up at 10 PM, and I couldn't go back to sleep. So I'm just here updating and doing my script (which is due today, and hopefully I could finish this).

I was actually able to pass my poster, bookmark and maths questions. That's a huge achievement for me. I can barely get a thing started and finished in a day, and I finished 3 projects. And I'm finally relief I'm done with that.

The maths test we took a few weeks ago was returned yesterday, and I (kind of) got a low mark. I mean, I wanted to do better (I just didn't really get a chance to study some topics that long, since there were a lot of new topics to me). Our science tests were also returned (well, we saw our scores, but then our teacher needed to collect it again) them yesterday. And I think I did better in science than in maths. It's not really that high, but yeah, compared to my maths.

Oh, and I actually reached 500 page views recently! Thanks guys! I may not be always updating, but I will soon. It's Friday, and it's our last day of the term. So you'll see me posting a lot more stuff. All of you better brace yourselves.

And, okay, yeah, I need to continue with my script. Today's song is Love On Top by Beyonce because I think my blog needs some Beyonce. Enjoy!

I bear good news

Well, to me they're good news. So yeah. That activity we were suppose to have on Friday? It got cancelled. Apparently, not enough people handed in the money, so they cancelled the activity. Yeah, I feel bad for the people who wanted to go badly, but I'd rather work (yeah, I'm selfish).

Another good news is that because of the activity being cancelled, the script for the english class I needed to hand over is now due on Friday! Okay, I'm still not sure if I could make a decent output, but hey, at least it gives me a little more time for my other projects.

Then there's that presentation for my business class. I mentioned it yesterday to one of my friends, and apparently it's due next term. That's a relief. I forgot all of the papers and sources that we needed to go to.

I'm currently working on my entry for the competition (while typing this), and it's turning out fine. Not sure though if I'll be able to send it on time. I'll be attaching something to the entry (which I still need to do), so hopefully, I could maybe drop by the post office later on.

Thank you to the one that's been +1 me! Really appreciate it. And I've been getting a lot of views lately. I mean, not like how YouTubers get their millions of views, but yeah. It's been going up slowly. I also have some views from other countries (yes, I mention this before already, but I'm so happy okay). I thank you guys for putting up with all the stuff I've been posting here. And for that, here's Berzerk by Eminem since I've been wanting to share that song to someone for a while now. Have a great day! (or night!)

Quick Update

And by quick, I mean just an update before I work again Hey guys! Hope you're all having a great week. I'm still busy here, doing projects and stuff (most of the time). And you know what's fun? I have two more projects to hand in! (I'm not sure if you can tell, but I just hinted sarcasm).

I mean, I'm fine with doing work. Just not all at once. I'd rather do work during the holidays (and I'm not being sarcastic this time, I'd rather do stuff when I'm at home). We have another group work to do, but this time, we just have to answer some questions. Seems easy enough, right? Nope. Would've been easy if your group's not experiencing difficulties (but hey, what kind of group doesn't have problems?). So I have more work to do.

Then there's this competition my teacher told me about. It's a bookmark designing contest with the theme "reading takes you place". She said I could join if I want to, and I really want to. It's just, yeah. Lots of stuff to do. But I really really want to. It's basically a contest about three things I enjoy doing. Reading, drawing and a little writing. So why not? I told my teacher about it, and she said I could submit the script for class after the holidays if I were to join (and I literally just wanted to hug her and bow down to her at the same time).

So, um, yeah. I need to get back to doing some work. I'm currently half-way through my bookmark, but I'm thinking of doing some stuff to it (oh no), so it might take a while. Hopefully, I'll get things done. Good luck to those getting things done too! Here's Atlas by Coldplay from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack. It's a great song guys, so take the time to listen. Cheers! 

Oh Boo

Okay, yeah, I haven't been posting again. But then this week's my last week in school! And maybe I could do some editing with this blog. And maybe some other stuff. Depends, really.

So it's finally the last week of the term. That went by fast. It feels like I'm just starting my first day. And yeah, I actually enjoyed my time. Not that I'm going anywhere anytime soon, but yeah. I had fun.

I've practically studied the whole day yesterday. I have this science test tomorrow (wish me good luck!), and I really need to get a good mark in this. I didn't get a good mark on my maths test, so hopefully I'll get a high one in science. I want to be part of the high forms. It just gives me the satisfaction that I actually did something right this time.

Hmm... Currently, I'm trying to balance out my time between doing my poster for my history class, finishing the script for english, and working on the powerpoint presentation for business. It's kinda hard to decide, since I actually want to do all three of them. History and english are due on Thursday though, and the business one's due on Wednesday. Although I could actually finish the presentation in just a few hours. So I'm currently working on my history poster (since I decided that it's the most time consuming).

So far, I only have notes, and I actually found some reliable sources for the poster. Hopefully it's enough to get a good mark. I'll be doing my poster physically, printing and glueing everything together (since I honestly can't draw everything for the poster). Meanwhile, other people are doing their posters with either Photoshop or Fireworks (both of which I don't have, sadly). So yeah. Hope it's enough.

Busy week for me, if you haven't noticed. But yeah, just a little more, and it's finally break! I don't know about you guys, but I really need a break (yes, it's just school, but I need a break okay). Wherever you guys are, or whatever you guys do, good luck. Just a little more.

I'll be continuing the book recs after this week (for real this time). And I'll be more active on this blog. So stay tuned! (I always wanted to say that). With busy weeks, I always love blasting loud, pumped up music. So here's So What by P!nk since it's a great motivational song (in my opinion). Good bye, and good luck to those still waiting for their iPhones and iPads to update to iOS.7 (I don't know okay, my phone's Samsung). Cheers!

Blogging at an ungodly hour

I am absolutely exhausted. And I feel terrible. I'm having a hard time breathing, my head and eyes hurt, and I just want to go back to sleep (I could, but then I might not wake up for school). And it's only Wednesday. I don't think I'll be able to survive this week. And yesterday, both of my friends weren't at school. I mean, yeah, I could've felt better if it wasn't for the stupid migraine I had.

If you've been on my blog yesterday, and have seen me changing my layout, I'm sorry about that. I scream the words 'I tried'. Still trying to figure out the cause, so I could finally edit my blog.

Let's see... I'm starting back-up classes today. So later, I should be at school before 8. I was hoping for the back-up classes that were like thrice a week or so, but this is great too. I'll still ask them about other back-up classes though.

Oh, I joined yet another rpg! A friend of mine told me join, so I did. People seem really nice and welcoming (although I'm still not quite sure when I could actually start rping). Hopefully I could see my friend again so we could rp together (and the fact that I forgot the name of her character made me guilty).

The book list may continue later on (since I really can't think straight right now). Just a reminder that the titles in bold are the books I have. (I swear, I had a lot more books than that. people just didn't give them back to me). And again, the list will be under Book Rec if you guys want to go back to them.

A massive thank you to whoever '+1'd' my posts (no one ever did that okay, so whoever you are out there, thank you!) And since I posted again a few days ago, I've been receiving a lot of page views, even in other countries. Thank you guys for having the time to actually view this blog. Just saying, but you could also comment whenever you want. Trust me, no matter how weird or awkward it is. So yeah. Virtual hugs being sent to all of you!

I'll try to read until I fall asleep now. Here's Almost is Never Enough by Ariana Grande ft. Nathan Sykes. The song was made for City of Bones, and it's a great song. Take the time to listen and appreciate it. Bye!

I'm not sure

Okay, so maybe I can't update everyday. I mean, I could, but I'm just not sure what to share exactly. Would love to share with you guys all the random details that happened to me everyday, but then you guys might find my blog even more boring as it is that way. So yeah.

Well, the good news on my part is that the presentation my friend and I were suppose to do is finally over. And I guess it wasn't that hard(?) Just yeah. I don't ever want to do it again. Sadly, I sorta have to. This time for my Maths class, we have to present a topic. And let me just say that our group would prefer not to talk in front of everybody. But yeah, we have to. I'll just draw what we need, and I guess we're good...?

Oh, and I'm sick again. Fun. I'm not really up to going to school today (especially when my friend's not gonna be there today). I guess I don't have an actual fever, but I honestly feel bad. And not emotionally.

I might be posting a list of books that I have later today. I would love to review all of them, but I don't think I'm well enough to write reviews at the moment. So I'll just post them maybe by series or author; depends really. And I'll just be tagging them under Book Rec for you guys to go back to later on if you want.

Currently having a coughing fit, so I suppose I'll go drink some water. Here's Jet Lag by Simple Plan ft. Natasha Bedingfield for people to start their day (or night. see, this song can be used in this kind of situation right now). Besides, I was feeling sentimental again. Cheerio!

Oh look, an actual update (now let's make this long, shall we?)

Hi. I don't know if any of you guys have noticed, but I haven't updated in a while. I guess I'm updating now since I'm not that busy (I swear, I slept for the whole day yesterday, and that never happened before). I missed blogging (even if people don't really read my blog). I like the thought that there's actually someone out there reading something I wrote (even if they're just about my little life). I'll share what happened to me for the past month (yes, it's almost been a month since I haven't update).

Let's see.. For my English class, I finally finished the storyboard and poster (honestly, I don't know if I said this before, but oh well). After that, I was finally relieved to get those off my shoulders. I mean, yeah, I love doing them, but they could be a hassle.

After doing those, we needed to write a feature article about teenagers (behaviour, emotions, etc). I did a fair job, if you ask me. Hopefully 6 pages would do. We're done with that now too. Now we're writing scripts about scenarios in school. They're only suppose to be 1 act with 2 scenes. I tried to do that, really, I did. But I ended up having this idea that would take about 5 or more acts. To think these scripts were for short plays. Mine seems like a 2 hour play. Oh well.

Currently, I'm not doing well in Science and Maths (or, at least, that's what I think). My parents said I could ask about having extra classes in those subjects, but there's a thing. If I get extra classes, I'll lose my French class. And honestly, I don't want to lose that class. Sure, I suck at speaking French, but I can understand okay. So I need to ask about that.

Lately, I've been craving more (yay, I used lyrics). I've been doing lots of early works, writing my notes in advance, and doing research that would probably be in the next week's lesson. I know that some people think I'm insane, but I honestly love doing school work (well, it depends on the class). It keeps me busy, and yes, I will complain a lot, but I really do like doing work. Yup, I'm insane.

So my stuff was finally brought over. And now I have (almost) all my books. Yeah, I'm missing a few (shout out to the guys who 'forgot' to return my books!), but it's nice seeing my books in my room. It feels like home. Now the sad part? I don't have room for all of them. Okay, fine, I do, but I like arranging my books in a fashion that I could see the spines. (I'll post a list of my books, for the people who want to know).

A few days ago, we had a free dress day. We were suppose to dress up as a kids' character. I wanted to go as Peter Pan or Sheldon Cooper, but I don't have any clothes that could be used to dress up like them, so I went as Marceline Abadeer (from Adventure Time). My mum and I even made the axe bass! (sort of) And it was actually fun.

Oh, and I absolutely enjoyed City of Bones! I wanted to watch again, but my dad told me to just wait for a dvd. Oh well. And I actually got some people to start reading the series (yayyyy). There's Kyla, who is now a Malec shipper (I love you dear!). But yeah, I'm sadistic. I will make people read the series, then when they start loving Malec, I'll show them lots of Malec scenes, then I'll show them page 511. Yes. I'm cruel.

On a lighter note, there'll be a new movie! Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! It's related to the Harry Potter series, and I can't wait! And basically, the whole Harry Potter fandom is rising to a new era. The following years mostly show movies that were from books, and I'm ecstatic (my dad's kinda annoyed about that, but ha).

Tomorrow, I have to do this presentation with a friend. I was suppose to do the presentation while he did the talking, but then our teacher said everyone should talk. And like the typical Vee, I'm freaking out. I don't like talking in front of crowds, even if it's just a class. I can't even talk properly if I'm in a group of 5 (unless I know those people really well). This is sad for me.

Speaking of that friend, I got a game from him, and I started playing again. Guess what? POKEMON. Yes. Pokemon. I'm playing it again. Soul Silver. And let's just say I lost the last cell of life I actually had in my system. Whenever I wake up early or have extra time, I would be playing Pokemon. And I actually got Lugia and Moltres. So yeah, no life. Yay.

I'll be doing some stuff now, since I want to be productive for this year (and I actually am being productive for the first time [besides blogging, but hey]). And of course, a post wouldn't be complete without a recommended song. I'll share to you a song that's been stuck in my head for weeks. Rock n Roll by Avril Lavigne is amazing! I don't understand why it's not really known. Oh well. Enjoy yourselves! 

Well

I've been really busy. Lots of school stuff to do (well, it's just a few, but they really take a long time to finish). I feel worse than before. And I actually fell asleep watching Harry Potter. Harry Potter. That is really a big thing for me okay.

I'm somehow starting to feel that growing up thing. Like when you need to choose between something you need to do, and something you want to do. I mean, yeah, it's not much. But yeah. I need to study and stuff, but I want to write stuff and draw. The more I work, the less I get inspired to draw something.

So I need to do a lot of stuff. Here's Roar by Katy Perry to keep you busy. Now excuse me. I think I may be having an allergic reaction.

Greetings from Neverland

I'm not sure if you guys are wondering why I haven't updated last week (or idk). The reason for that is my usual excuse. I was tired. But it got worse.

Saturday, I slept at 6. 6. Do you know how early that is for me? You might be thinking 'Oh, so you had a lot of sleep! That's great!' No. It sucked. I woke up at 11. I mean, yeah, I went back to sleep eventually (at around 12), but then I woke up again at around 3. Really sucked.

Anyways, I've been really busy. Yes, I was busy before, but idk I just feel the stress. Hopefully this is just a phase and it'll pass. I hate feeling so paranoid and tense.

I didn't really watch the TCAs, but I heard a lot about it. No matter how much I want to talk about that, I wouldn't. Things happened, and I promised that I won't give you guys a long post about the TCAs.

I also found out that City of Bones will be released here on August 22! So that's 9 days away! Can't wait to watch. I've been seeing a lot of scenes from Tumblr (yes, I saw those before, but). If only I have an Idris University hoodie. I guess I'll just order one some other time.

Not really much to say, since I just did some work for school. So here's Why Am I The One by Fun. Enjoy!

Isolated

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter. I looked up at the dark grey sky, raindrops splashing onto my thick-framed glasses. With one pale hand, I removed them and tried to wipe it with my jacket’s sleeve, my attempt being in vain.

Teenagers around me ran as they tried to get to shelter. I stood up from the bench, the park being almost abandoned by people. I clasped the black backpack by my side and slung it over my shoulder.

I began to trudge my way home, which was only at Wellington street. My cerulean blue eyes scanned looked down to the black watch on my wrist. Five minutes past seven.  Lev will surely be upset.

Lev, also known as Levon, is my stepbrother. My mother and Lev’s father got married just last year. Lev and I have been close since we met. We just get along well. Since our parents are away for a business trip, the two of us have the whole house alone.

As I reached a block away from my house, a horn honked at me. I turned to see a red Lamborgini, the window rolled down to reveal a group of teenagers in crop tops, short shorts, and girls wearing absolutely too much make up.

“Enjoying the weather, Lucas?” the girl behind the wheel, Jennette, sneered. “Your name being Rain and all, I’m sure you’re enjoying this.”

“Maybe she’s the one who made it rain!” proclaimed the other girl, Britney at the passenger’s seat. “Lucas being a demon, and all.”

“If you Leams are done spreading the word that I’m the devil,” I said, my tone clipped. “I would prefer for you all to leave, so I can go home.”

Leam Rigns, or Leam for short, is practically the most popular group in school. They go around in their million dollar cars wearing almost exactly the same clothes, the girls wearing tight fitted or short clothes, the guys wearing very loose clothes that look ridiculous.

The reason why they’re popular in our school, and practically the whole town? Either they’re rich, or they are known for getting into trouble.

Lev and I belong to Loid Scok, or Loids. We’re basically the people who everyone ignores. It’s not that we’re anti-social or something. We just chose to be invisible to people. We like keeping quiet and doing our own business within our group. Sadly, the Leams enjoy tormenting Loid, seeing us as ‘prey-worthy’

“Oh, Lucas.” Jennette threw her head back as she let out an almost with-like laugh. “You should feel honoured to be in our presence, you little Loid.”

“How can you Leams still talk with all that make up making you look like clowns?” I sighed. I just want to go home, really.

“Tch. You are such a freak.” Hissed Jennette.

Before I could react, the Lamborgini’s wheel turned, the puddle of water and grime by the road spraying me, making me soaked to the bone. The Leams laughed as they drove off, leaving me dripping wet.

I sighed, dragging myself home. Leams truly enjoy tormenting us.

As I reached the house, I turned the knob of the door, the door already being unlocked.

“Rain Xandra Lucas!” Lev rushed towards me by the door, face a mix of frustration and worry. “Where have you been, and why are you dripping wet?”

He was wearing a red and black hoodie with gray sweats and black socks. Lev’s thick-rimmed glasses were perched on his nose, Lev stating before that it makes him feel smart.

“Hello to you too, Levon Xavier Lucas.” I threw my soaked backpack on the sofa. “I’ll just stay here and freeze for a while, alright?”

“Ugh,” Lev threw at towel on the sofa at me. “I prepared tea, if you want.”

“Yeah, thanks.” I rubbed the towel on my black hair as I sat down on the sofa, my older blonde stepbrother poured tea in the cup in front of me.

“Mind telling me what happened?” he asked as he pushed the cup towards my direction.

“I was just at the park after school.” I set the towel down beside me as I picked up the teacup. “It began to rain, so I decided to go back. I was a block away when some Leams decided to have a chat with me.”

“Jennette and her clown clique?” Lev sneered as I nodded, sipping from the cup. “What did they say this time?”

“Nothing new really,” I shrugged. “Just me being the devil and making it rain. Getting old already actually.”

Lev nodded, motioning me to continue. “Basically they just called me the devil and ran over a puddle, so here I am. Soaked and stained.”

“Brats,” hiss Lev, his light blue eyes going cold. “And to think we’ll see them tomorrow at school.”

Right. There’s school tomorrow. And I may or may not have gotten sick by the Leams’ present. Perfect. Just perfect.

-~-~-

So this is the story for an English project thing in school. It's just a small part of the story though. Not really my best writing, but my teacher thought it was nice. And I think she was genuine (hopefully). Nothing special, just yeah. Wanted to share.
