Auckland Trip: Day One (29/6/13)

My family and I like to go to Auckland for my dad's birthday. I think it turned into a ritual because we've been doing it for 2 years now. But I can now say that this one has been the busiest visit of all. 

The first place we stopped at was Sylvia Park. We ate at umi restaurant and (do I really have to share what I ate?) ordered the lunch box while my family ordered the daily special lunchbox. It tingled my tastebuds because of the flavour and taste. I loved it. 

We shopped and ran around the whole building until after stroke.

When my family and I arrived at the hotel we rested lazily on the beds and then when we got enough rest we went swimming in the coral blue water of the hotel's indoor pool, and even though it was 4ft deep, I still managed to swim to the bottom.

After I washed up and took a bath, the nightlights of the city were glowing like fireflies and my parents decided to go out with my sister and I and find some food to eat. We ended up at the foodcourt eating pizza and lasagna and japanese food. It was as delicious as the food we ate at Sylvia Park. Yum Yum.

And here I am now, writing this blog post sitting on one of the beds in the middle of our hotel room. What fun. Hehe!

Bye bye my Mariannettes!

Them Feels ;'( (26/6/13)

This is an experience I would like to share with you Mariannettes. It had happened to me today, and I hope I am not the only one who had this momentum before.

At Health class today there was a section in our Health books that read "Name a time when a friend let you down".

I immediately put my hand up and spoke quietly, holding back my tears "Mister, does it include a time that's actually happening now?"

My friend/classmate Harriet said "Is it me? Marian, I'm so sorry!" then she started to turn red and worried.

"You're not her friend! You're just in the same class as Marian!" My boy classmates exclaimed loudly.

"Hehe, of course it's not you, Harriet. You're still my loyal and fabulous friend though." I said trying to calm her down.

After all of the sort-of commotion, my teacher finally answered my answer. "Yes Marian. It can happen during now." 

Everybody calmed down and started writing while my tears ran rapidly down my face onto my neck. I sniffed gently and covered my face so nobody ever suspected that  I was crying, because I am the crybaby of the class. I'm never satisfied with my average life. It's annoying. I think it's got something to do with mood swings. 

Anyway, at the end of the lesson Harriet asked me what was happening with me and my friend and who it was. The tears came back and I said "Samantha. Samantha Espinosa, my best friend. She left New Zealand and now I'm like a bundle of dirt. It wasn't her fault or my fault, it was nobody's fault. Her grandmother grew sick and her mum picked her up to live in Australia while her grandmother was healing herself. I miss her so much, but it still hurts me and affects my life severely."

It was interval and I sat with Christa and Yasmin, my new best friends. I felt much better throughout today and here I am now, listening to Marina and the Diamonds and sitting down writing and editing this post for MEDL. 

Lots of you have felt the pain of losing a friend, wait, I mean, everybody has! And I am so glad to share that with you all Mariannettes. Bye for now!

Mufti Day Part 2 (21/6/13)

It was such an impeccably superb day because it was my intermediate school's first ever Mufti Day of the year. At my school I got told that we were not gonna have much mufti days every year, which made me feel really down. But luckily today was a mufti day, which made me light up my mood.

But Mufti Day was not the same as last years (and it wasn't much fun too). Instead, we still had to switch classes from room to room and this is intermediate/high school and last year was primary school, where you didn't have to switch classes everywhere. But we have changes...

I didn't take a photo of my outfit, but I'll describe it in text:

For my top I layered a purple long-sleeved shirt with a white collar alongside a white jumper that has a picture of two Russian dolls and above it it says "the love within" in sophisticated writing. And for my bottom I wore navy blue skinny jeans that unusually made my butt look bigger. And my shoes were just black below the knee boots. I thought that my outfit needed more so I added in a blue scarf and my famous rainbow bracelet and green beaded anklet given to me by Samantha. Gosh, I miss her so much.

To conclude this post, I can describe the day with one word. And that word is Blissful. 

Bye bye my Mariannettes!  

I'm a Turtle, not a Bee (14/6/13)

Yesterday there was a spelling bee at my school and I participated and I, unexpectedly, won! I bet a year eight who also did magnificently at spelling as well. I never would think that I would win over somebody a grade older than me. I eventually won a mini dictionary/thesaurus and a chocolate bar. The Spelling Bee was at lunchtime and after that we had English. When I told my teacher she shook my hand and, of course, congratulated me. My class also did the same and then after school everybody mimicked them. 'Til this day, everybody is still congratulating me, especially my parents, who are still calling me "Ate Maui the Champion";
meaning Ate as a big sister and Maui as my nickname.

Bye bye my Marianettes!

1 FULL YEAR OF MARIAN'S EVERYDAY LIFE! (12/6/13)

I've gotta keep calm for this post, but I can't. IT'S BEEN ONE FULL YEAR OF THIS MARIAN'S EVERYDAY LIFE BLOG! This blog seemed like I just made it 2 weeks ago. Time flies too fast. I need some time to develop into a better person, to be honest. But other than that, it's been an outstanding and interesting journey as I posted my daily adventures of my wicked life. Even though there are not much people reading my blog, I still appreciate it and love the people who actually read my blog. From now on, I will call you my Marianettes (and no, you are not named after the puppets, you are named after my blog readers).

To finish off this post, I would like to say another thank you for actually reading the blog of a young year seven who dreams to become the next J.K Rowling.

Here's my advice to my Marianettes: Save the best for last, so you can enjoy life at it's best.

Thank you for the FINAL time,

Marian Yao

MEDL 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW! (11/6/13)

Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of the Marian's Everyday Life blog! My apologies for not posting much nowadays... I don't exactly know why I'm not posting... Maybe I need a reality check...

Other than that, I'll try my very best to keep all of my blogs updated. Pretty promise.

What a Cool Day! (5/6/13)

Today was such a good day despite that I was given a Religious Ed and Science test. Both were pretty easy!  We had drama today too and I actually made my class laugh! That boosted my self-esteem by... Hm... probably by 80%! Not that much to me, but it's efficient enough to make me happy. *Insert smiley face here*.

What has happened recently apart from that? Last Thursday I participated along with the other representatives from my school for LitQuiz that was held in Tauranga Intermediate school. Not far away from where I live that much. LitQuiz is a questionnaire about books. Others may think it's boring, but I find it fascinating that I am a bookworm and love literature. Even though we came near last, it was such an awesome experience. I wasn't there just to compete, but to also enjoy it and to also build up my book knowledge. I can join again next year since I am a Year 7 and Year 8s can join too.

I'm on a roll now! Bye!
