iPad App Reviews! (30.9.12)

I know this isn't my MMBR blog, but I'm just going to review some of my favourite apps on the iPad:

Subway Surf:
This app is like Temple Run and Agent Dash but it's in a 'subway style' versions.
In this app you have to run away from a train driver because you spray painted a train. You get to play various characters like Jake, Tasha, Brody, and other characters.
Whenever I play this game, I always crash into a train in the beginning of the game. Grrr...

STARS: 7.8/10

Draw Something:
In this app you get to draw things and your partner has to guess what you are drawing.
I don't like drawing that much, but this app can help you draw.

Stars: 8.6/10

Baking Cookies! (29.9.12)

Dear Blog Readers,

This blog post was supposed to go out yesterday but I felt dizy and sick so I skipped to type this and went to sleep.
Sorry!

-Marian

Today I baked cookies out of scratch.
I used a recipe from this website.
When I pulled out the tray full of cookies from the oven, the cookies connected to each other!
I let the cookies cool down for a bit then separated them from each other by snapping it then ate the cookies.
It was delicious! I ate probably a 1/3 out of all of the cookies.

Last Day of Term 3, 2012 (28.9.12)

Today was the last day of Term three in my primary school and this is the last time I'm going to wear my winter school uniform.
Next year I'm going to secondary (intermediate) school so I will miss primary school so much!

I earned a principal's award today and I didn't expect it. I was very surprised that my mouth formed into an 'O' shape.

This afternoon for Golden Time we danced to Gangnam Style by PSY and it was so hilarious and fun.

The day ended sadly by saying goodbye to classmates and friends for not seeing them for two weeks!

Fun Maths Class (27.9.12)

Today at maths class my teacher decided me and my class have been working very hard this term so she decided to teach us how to make origami pockets and got out some chocolate buttons to put in our candy.

To get the chocolate buttons, we had to answer easy maths questions that my teacher taught us about.
That was the last maths class for this term. I will miss that maths class!

Scraped! (26.9.12)

This morning when my class went to the school library, me and Samantha I. went through the library door pushing each other and my hand got scraped on the side of the door. Ouch!

OPPA GANGNAM STYLE! (25.9.12)

My whole class is obsessed with Gangnam Style.
We do the dance, the vocals and some of my classmates know the lyrics.
Samantha I. and Te Mania can't say Gangnam Style.
Instead, they go like:
Occa Gannam Style
Or:
Oppa Gngstyle
Or:
Oppagngnmstil

HANDSHAKE! (24.9.12)

At lunchtime me and Samantha I. made up handshakes.
One goes like:
*Slap hands* 2x
*Fist bump*
Pow!

Second:
*One hand facing up and one hand facing down clapping*
*High ten*
*Twirl around*
*Arms folded*
OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!

Third one:
Stop! *Holds one hand out like a stop sign*
Don't talk to me! *Waving index finger*
Loser loser *Two hand's fingers form an 'L' shape*
Wnnabe *Two hand's fingers turn to make a 'W' shape*
Like, like *Two hand's fingers form an 'L' shape again*
Totally *Making a 'T' shape with two hands*
Rejected! *Hands flat and waving above your shoulder*

I Wanna Know! (23.9.12)

I wanna know who looks at this blog because sometimes I feel like this blog is like a desert.

Please comment so I can see who looks at this blog!

Rugby (22.9.12)

Today my two friends and me (not Samantha and Te Mania, nor Claudine and Germaine but my friends should be unknown) played touch rugby.

We did scrums, touchdowns, chases (eg. tried to chase the person who got the ball) and had timeouts.
Me and my friends were experienced in playing touch rugby, so that's good for playing rugby again.
The day came to an end. I think we played for 2 hours (or one, not too sure) and my other friend won the game with 5 points, leaving me and my other other friend 3 points (the other other wasn't a typo error).

Leadership Day! (21.9.12)

My school and some other schools' leaders attended the leadership day today.

We arrived at school at the normal time wearing mufti (wear anything you want) and stayed in our classrooms for two hours
At the leadership day, there were two people teaching us games and things leadership related.
During lunchtime, we got free hotdogs and juicies and we got the chance to talk to the teachers.
At the end of the day we returned back to class.

I found it nice and educational. I am very thankful to be a leader.

Freestyle Painting (20.9.12)

Today my teacher let us do painting and we could paint whatever we wanted to.

My three friends weren't there so I painted by myself.
I painted a colorful rainbow but there wasn't any orange paint so I skipped that color and went onto yellow.

After painting, my hands had paint marks. Well, that's what painters get.

MY HANDDD

My HANDDDD!

My rainbow painting.

No Talking Comp (19.9.12)

Today me and the two Samanthas tried not to talk for as long as we can.
If we wanted to contact each other, we would do hand signals.
No one won, since we kept on talking.
I bet you guys tried doing the game!

Olympic Rehearsals (18.9.12)

Tomorrow night is my classes' Olympic Parent Night.
Olympic Parent Night is a night where we show our parents what we have been learning at school about the Olympic Games.
We already practised heaps of times in the past so we got kind of used to it.
We did sport freeze frames (you try to do an Olympic sport in the shadow behind a sheet with a light trying to make it shadowy), danced to the Olympic Rock song, and other Olympic stuff.
We rehearsed till lunchtime, so we got a lot of training.

Nancy Drew: The Movie (15.9.12)

Today the weather was rainy and cold so I got out my pillow and blanket, turned on the DVD player and watched Nancy Drew.

Before the movie started, I predicted that it would be awesome and fantastic because this movie was based on my favourite book series and I think Emma Roberts is a good actress.

After the movie, I was right (a little bit actually).
I know this isn't my MMBR blog, but I rate this movie a 7.5/10.

My Birthday Party! (14.9.12)

Man, I'm so tired! Do you wanna know why?
Today was my birthday party!
My school had a Teacher Only Day, so mum planned to have my party today.
It all started like this:

This morning I did things like what a normal morning person would do (eg. eat breakfast, take a shower, make my bed, etc.) then got the party things ready for my two friends coming to my house first.
When my two friends Alliyah and Hozanna arrived, everything was ready: from food, to decorations.
We played some games on my wii then got driven to the movie theatre by my dad to watch Finding Nemo 3D.

As I expected in my mind, Te Mania and Samantha E. were there. (Samantha I. was in Tauranga.)
I greeted Te Mania and Sammi then went up to the candy bar to pay for popcorn and drinks and movie tickets.
While dad was paying for the movie tickets, me and my other friends saw my classmate Daniel and his family enter through the entrance. We greeted him then asked what movie he was watching.
He replied "We are going to watch Finding Nemo 3D." Turns out he was watching the same movie as us, so at school I can ask him how he thought about the movie.

Dad finished paying for the tickets and the food so we entered the movie theater.
While the movie was screening, Te Mania and Alliyah kept on talking. Good thing there wasn't much people in the theater.

When the movie finished, we all raced to the car and dad drove us off to my house.

As soon as we arrived at my house, we ate lunch and then ate dessert (which was cake) then went straight to my room.
We took some photos with my iPad.
Me and my friends did other fun stuff with the iPad and watched Nightmare on Elm Street.

Time passes and it's time to go home. Samantha was the first one to leave, then Te Mania, Alliyah and Hozanna.

When they all sadly left, I ate the leftovers of the party food and opened the gifts.
Samantha Espinosa gave me a red diary and a light blue shirt.
Alliyah gave me a grey shirt saying 'LOVE' and blue tights.
Hozanna gave me cute denim jeans.
Te Mania either forgot to get me a gift or left it at home.
The clothes Sammi and Alliyah and Hozanna gave me fitted me perfectly.

It was such an awesome party! I hope we can do it again next year.

Happy Birthday Me! (13.9.12)

Oh my! The months went so fast! It's my birthday today!
Today was just so perfect. The sun wasn't hiding, lots of friends and family greeted me and there was a disco going on at lunchtime!
Mum and dad gave me Now 39 cd, a new bed, hugs and kisses and a new magazine.
Sadly, my camera wasn't working so I couldn't take any photos from school. I'm sorry blog readers.
Mum made me a rainbow cake with Fairy Tail characters and the logo on it! It's so awesome!

You can see my mum in the background.
When you cut the cake, the cake will be rainbow-y.

When I walked inside, the classroom whiteboard was filled with birthday greets and some of my classmates just popped out and hugged me tightly saying "Happy Birthday Marian!"

Netball Practice! (12.9.12)

I signed up for Netball Day and the practices were held today. 

The coaches were three netball players in the same year (grade) as me. 

We played netball games like passing the netball, jumping over cones and shooting hoops.

We did one game of netball and my position was goalkeeper. I had to defend the shooter.

It lasted the whole lunchtime hour so me and Samantha E. didn't have the chance to hang out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomorrow's my birthday! Yay!

I think I will bring my camera to school tomorrow to see what it's like on my birthday.

Pancakes! (11.9.12)

This afternoon me, Samantha E. and my classmate Karaitiana cooked pancakes for Olympic Cooking.
We used my dad's pancake recipe so we didn't have to stress about the ingredients.
We took turns flipping, mixing and spooning the batter into the pan.
When my other classmates tasted it, they loved it! Wow! I never thought they would like my dad's recipe!

Autographs! (10.9.12)

At lunchtime today, me and Samantha E were doing nothing so Samantha pulled out her notepad and pens from her desk, ripped out a few pages and started asking our classmates for their autograph!

We went around the whole school and asked classmates if they could write their names on the piece of paper.
I couldn't get all of them to write on me and Sam's papers because the bell went fast.
I think we got ten people to sign the paper...

Photo Booth! (9.9.12)

I was so bored today so I went on the IPad and took some photos in the photo booth app!

Rain, Rain, Go Away (8.9.12)

It's so cold and wet outside today in Rotorua! Here are some pictures outside:

Dress Up As your Favourite Character Day! (6.9.12)

Today was Dress up as your favourite character day and I dressed up as Stacey McGill from The Baby-Sitter's Club and Samantha E. went as Angel from Maximum Ride.

Me and Samantha were the only ones wearing wigs in our class, so heaps of people were asking us for the wigs.

Our whole class voted for the best costume and the finalists were the two Sam's and my classmates Sean and Maureen.
Samantha E. dressed up as Angel from Maximum Ride, Samantha I. dressed up as Katy Perry (Katy Perry is real but she still got accepted to dress up as her), Sean dressed up as Harry Potter and Maureen dressed up as Scooby Doo.

Some of my classmates didn't dress up because they didn't know what to dress up as.

Being Little Kids with my Bestie (7.9.12)

At morning break time today me and my bestie Samantha E. played on the playground for juniors because we miss being juniors.

We went on the monkey bars, slid down the slide, climbed up the climbing wall and sprinted on the bridge.
It was so awesome till the bell went. Grrr...

Calendar Art! (5.9.12)

Today my main class teacher wasn't at school today so we had my drama teacher replacing my main teacher.

We did calendar art for the whole day. Me and my classmates created a landscape photo of a view of nature. When we finished drawing we drew patterns on trees, hills, grass and other natural things. 

It took us from morning to afternoon the draw because we had to colour it in and make patterns. 

Library with the Sam's (4.9.12)

Me and the two Sam's (Samantha I and E) went to the school library to get inspired by the pictures of the characters' outfits for 'Dress up as your favourite character in a book or movie' day on Thursday.
I didn't really need to look through books because I already planned to do Stacey McGill from The Baby-sitter's club, so I was helping both Sam's decide what to dress up as.
We scanned through some books and helped each other who to dress up as.
At the end of the library trip, Samantha E decided to dress up as Nancy Drew or Claudia Kishi but the other Samantha didn't know who to dress up as.

Dance Party! (3.9.12)

It was a rainy lunchtime so Te Mania got out her CD and put it on the CD player in our classroom.
We danced and sang to songs like 'I'm glad you came' and 'The one that got away'. We didn't have any dance competitions because nobody bothered to host them.
We all sang and danced till the end of lunchtime. It's just song fun hanging out with your classmates like that in lunchtime!

Boredom Strikes (2.9.12)

This post was supposed to be out yesterday. I'm sorry that I didn't post yesterday because of chores and errands... AGAIN!

After doing all of the errands, mum was using the computer so I was stuck with nothing to do in my little bedroom. "Lalalalala" I said to myself. I was so bored so I took a nap instead. 

FACT: I don't snore. 

Books, Books and More Books! (1.9.12)

Goodbye August, and welcome to September, my birth month! I'm so excited for my birthday!
Anyway, enjoy this new post and Happy New Month everybody!
-Marian

Today me and my whole family went to the Rotorua Public Library and got 4 books out for me and my mother.
My mum rented a Reader's Digest magazine and a Netguide magazine while I got a Baby-Sitter's Club book called 'Kristy's Big Day' and a Nancy Drew book titled 'Civil Act'. Both Baby-Sitters Club and Nancy Drew  are my two favourite book series.
I read two pages of Civil Act then it was time to issue.
Mum let me use her library card since I left mine at home. I'm a klutz sometimes.
Then we went home.
The end.
