30 Day Music Challenge: Day 1 - My Favourite Song (1/3/15)

Dear MEDL,

Last post I wrote about completing another blogging challenge. This March, I will complete a music-themed challenge! But there will be a rule: I will only be able to write every odd day since I have schoolwork and activities to complete.
Overall, I wish that you enjoy this month-long challenge!

Day 1: Your Favourite Song

I have a collection of favourite songs.

This wouldn't be a list created by me if there were no songs from Marina Diamandis. I enjoy the lyrics since they mostly relate to me.
"Because I feel like I'm the worst, so I always act like I'm the best."
"I know exactly what I want and who I want to be."
"If I fail, I'll fall apart."
Heck, all of  the lyrics of 'Oh No' speak to me on a high personal level.

I discovered this classic song on 'Bones' and every time it plays I automatically start to balter and sing along to the lyrics.



The hype of the BTVS theme song and the mystery behind 'You're My Sanctuary' always catch my ears' attention.

Thank you for reading today's post!
Stay powerful and beautiful as usual.

An Update on my Everyday Life (17/2/15)

Dear MEDL,

Hey! I haven't written anything on this blog since two weeks ago. How are you? I hope you all are well and happy.

I haven't been able to write on this blog because I am focusing on Electra & Marian and my academic life. There haven't been many sentiments from my life that are blog-worthy since I am publishing them on E&M already. But, however, I am planning to complete another 30-day challenge next month for you MEDL readers! I do admit that most of the posts will be late and quite short. I hope you will understand.

Let's move onto another topic. I have found some pictures from my past that I am willing to share for the remainder of this blog post:

Me at my first Holy Communion.

Chubby baby Mari in the arms of my mother.

Me & my mother on the Huka Falls Jet.

My sister & I posing with our Halloween costumes.

My cousin & I eating ice-cream (I think) on the stairs.
What is that rantipole expression on my face?

A picture of me from 2007 featuring a quote of mine.

Day 31: What I Enjoyed in This Blogging Challenge (31/1/15)

Dear MEDL,

Day 31: "Self portrait and explain what you liked the most about this challenge."

Me, at age 12.
What I most enjoyed from completing this challenge is keeping MEDL active. Last year I only released 33 posts over a 365 day period, which I thought was not suitable for a blog which has the word 'Everyday' in the title. During the holidays I was unproductive and bored, so I decided to use the spare time I had to write blog posts every day for January. And this blogging challenge was auspicious of my goal to maintain a 'healthy' blog.

My favourite day I  wrote about is 'Day 10: Daily Routine.' It wasn't a topic I discussed on this blog before, and it was quite easy to complete. 

Thank you for accompanying me as I completed this blogging challenge! 
Stay powerful & beautiful as usual.

Day 30: My Favourite Flavour of Ice Cream (30/1/15)

Dear MEDL,

I feel contrite that I don't publish these posts on time, and that I use my free time for something else. Anyway, here is Day 30 of the Blogging Challenge. I hope that you enjoy reading!

Day 30: "What's your favourite flavour of ice cream?"

I over capacitate myself with cookie flavoured ice cream. Cookies & Cream and Cookie Dough are the main flavours I am talking about. I think that one of the reasons why I enjoy this type of ice cream is because the times I get to taste it are erratic and unpredictable, and also because it reminds me of the priceless pleasure of baking.

Thank you for reading today's post!

A Lovely First Day (29/1/15)

Dear MEDL,

Today is the first day of year nine for me. In the morning, I was a little bit worried that I would make a fool of myself today, but it was not as bad as I expected.

At the first day of every school year, my high school holds an assembly to introduce the new students/teachers and to gather the school for a first meeting. While waiting for the assembly to start, I observed that approximately 85% of the year nines had grown at least ten centimeters taller. One of these year nines includes my best friend and many of the boys who are also going through a voice-changing phase.

After the assembly finished, we were sorted into new form classes. My form class is not that bad; I already knew most of the pupil and their personalities seemed tolerable. During our first form time session, my form teacher taught us a waiata (hymn) in Maori, introduced herself and handed out homework diaries and other sheets of paper to complete.

The rest of the day was productive with Spanish & P.E lessons. Hopefully this school year will be assiduous with a hint of tolerable rigmaroles.

Day 29: "What's your favourite time of the year, and why?"

It doesn't matter if you call me mundane, but I enjoy ordinary time. Ordinary time is best for me because we can relax and focus on our own business, and I prefer a more relaxed time rather than an excessively hyped-up one. But if I had to pick a holiday, it would be Christmas and New Year's Day because nearly everyone is jolly and mirifical at the time. (I'm being as realistic as possible with writing 'nearly.')
