Being Miley Cyrus, Two Week Hiatus, and Halloween! (31/10/13)

Hey!

I'm back from the 'two week' hiatus. I cancelled the hiatus because I had a craving to blog again. And it sure does feel awesome! Here is what you guys have missed out on for this week:

I study at a Catholic school and we had R.E but my teacher had a dance practise at the same time for her other students so she took my class and I to the gym. The gym was split into two halves with a tarpaulin-like curtain because also at the same time there was a senior P.E class. The girls stayed at the half of the gym where the dance practise was and the boys were playing on the half where the P.E class was, until I saw one of the boys swinging on the ropes beside the huge curtain. My male classmate came out of the curtain and I asked if we were really allowed to swing on them. He apparently said yes and my friends and I followed him, and later did the rest of the girls.

I saw five swinging ropes on the left side and five others on the opposite side. I immediately went on one on the right side and had the best time of my academic life for now.

As we swooped and swung on the ropes I felt like Miley Cyrus in 'Wrecking Ball', minus the sledge-hammer licking and the nudity. I managed to crash into people and once into a person's butt and got torturous headaches and sore muscles. Despite all of that, it was still the best time in my academic life, and the most painful (physically).

After school Yasmin and Christa came to my house to watch a famous horror movie, 'The Ring'. We sat on the huge leather couch with a super large blanket covering us up and beside a makeshift table which was actually a chair filled with junk food. I can say that the movie wasn't that good, but we still had a wicked time. I even screamed just because of the 'Warning' sign about copyright before the movie ever started (I'm just plain crazy and full of sensitivity). After the movie we baked cupcakes but Christa and Yasmin had to leave early because we made them late thus the movie.

That was my day! I'm sorry that you just had to go through useless info about my Halloween, but I just can't stop blogging about how fun and enjoyable it was. Sadly, I didn't take any pics throughout the whole day, but I can just remember it.

Thank you for reading!

See you again soon,
Marian

The Scary PE Session (22/10/13)

Bon Soir from NZ!

Our school athletics is coming up next month and my P.E teacher decided to train my class with the sport high jump. And spoiler alert: the embarrassment spirit visited me!

Well, when it was my first turn, the bar was low, so I didn't do bad. Second turn, I kind of hesitated for one millisecond before I jumped, and then I performed the common scissor jump. My friend overheard my classmates when they were talking about me and my awkward hesitation but she also noticed that someone stood up for me like he does for others. Awww!

But this is when spirit of embarrassment swoops in - my teacher raised the bar higher by 1 metre and when I ran, I knocked down the bar (it was a rubber band actually) and everybody started to chuckle! Urgh... The embarrassment spirit is the worst spirit ever (don't count Satan) and it affects me on an everyday basis. But that's not gonna stop me... I hopped off the cushion that catches you after you jump and walked off like nothing happened at all. My mind was roaring out "haters gonna hate!"

Guys, don't let embarrassment ruin your self-esteem. Just show what you've got and let the haters hate because they're never gonna be as good as you!

My 2 Week Holiday Review and First Day of Term 4 (14/10/13)

Hello hello MEDL!

The term 3 two week holiday for 2013 is finally over and I have just gone to school today for the first day of term 4. But I really don't want to explain how my day went first because I want to focus on my holiday for now.

I had a very boring two week holiday. I was always napping and trapping myself in my bedroom fixing up my blogs and room. But on the first day of the holidays I had an awesome start because I attended Yasmin's birthday party and it was so fun that I couldn't tame myself (just saying. The party didn't go THAT wild). On some days I cooked and baked and updated on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest everyday (talk about boredom!)

That was a short paragraph about my holidays (I just can't stop mentioning the word 'holiday'. I'm sorry) but before we talk about my day, I haven't explained to you all how the school system in New Zealand (and probably some other countries) works: The school year is split into four terms (also known as a quarter or quadmester) and each term lasts about 9-12 weeks of school. Somehow, this year the length of the weeks per term shortened and became 9-10 weeks. I'm not exactly sure why they changed it. Maybe they respect pupil and gave them shorter weeks as a gift? Who knows...

Now finally onto my day! So my day went splendid despite the uniform change and I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my summer attire. I got to hang out with friends, start new modules in my subjects, and learn lots of new things. I'm excited for this term because later on we (my class and I) are gonna go to a beach and have a big day in at the end of this term! I'm excited already!

♡ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LOVELY MARINA DIAMANDIS ♡ (10/10/13)

Hello MEDL!

Today is my idol's birthday in the US and I would like to greet her ♡ Happy Birthday ♡  being one of her diamonds (fans). I truly love her and her music. The lyrics actually make sense because music nowadays is always about partying, drugs, alcohol, etc. I am listening to her album Electra Heart as I type and it just relaxes me. Ahh! 

The Lovely Marina and the Diamonds (no, she is a solo artist. The 'Diamonds' are her fans).

Anyway, another post will come out next Monday (Sunday if you live in the US) because I will start my last term of this year at school! So I'll see you all on Monday! Bye!

Term 3 Mission: COMPLETE (27/9/13)

Woohoo! Torture is over! But only for two weeks... And that means that I get to catch up on blogging and my reading and 'snoozing' (as one of my teachers would say). Last week on Electra and Marian I forgot to post TFWJM and I'm also planning to change the title on that segment because it's horrible and too long.

In any case, I have finally completed all of the things that I needed to do with school. Now it's the seniors' turn because they have to study for NCEA (this college exam you need to take if you want to go to university). Wish them luck for me guys because I have a lot of friends who are at their senior year of high school please!

There is not much to say about the last day of Term 3, guys. But all I think about is that there's only one term left of being a year seven and I'll miss this journey as it ends. I've met heaps of awesome people this year and have had accomplished several achievements so far. I promise not to get teary eyed like last year because this is just the beginning of a new journey for me and my fellow year sevens.

Let's get rid of the sappiness, shall we? Hehe! I hope you all have had a beautiful day today! Bye!

My very astonishing Barfday (13/9/13)

I celebrated my birthday on the Friday the 13th of the year. It wasn't actually scary as I would expect it to, but it was actually awesome! I had my favourite subjects on that day, including P.E and English (yes, I am an English nerd).

My day started off sorta bad because I showed up late to school and together with my form teacher. As I was walking to my classroom, I noticed that a couple of my classmates were spying outside. I knew that there was going to be a birthday surprise because my best friends were talking about it the other day. So I stopped in the middle of my tracks and pulled out my iPod to film my entrance into the room.

As I entered into the room my best friend Yasmin welcomed me in with a squeal-y birthday greeting and my other classmates followed, jumping and smiling. My other best friend Christa also greeted me with a hug and used her calm voice which rested my ears from all the commotion happening in the room. And as I went to my chair I saw the whiteboard filled with names and birthday greetings and I saw a list of good things about me which Christa wrote up on the right side of the whiteboard where there was heaps of space. It made me smile and I felt really lucky to celebrate my birthday on that day.

Later into the night, my friends and family and I were going to eat at a restaurant and it was delicious! We took a lot of photos (selfies, more like), ate some cake and food, opened up presents, and just enjoyed ourselves! Best birthday dinner yet!

As soon as the party was finished and we all went home, I was supremely exhausted and just wanted to skip my regular night time routine and just collapse onto my bed with my unclean face and teeth and in my dotty birthday dress. But I still had to drag myself into performing my boring routine. Aargh!

It actually didn't feel like a birthday to me. Instead, it felt like a happy-go-lucky day and everybody suddenly decided to scream in front of my face saying the same phrase, send me presents, and just went out for a random fancy dinner. It felt glamorous!

Emptying Out the Rubbish in the Rain (29/8/13)

At lunchtime today it was raining so my class and I had to go to our form classroom.

Yasmin, Christa, and I were eating and Yasmin decided to call Christa to prank our friend we like to call 'the Camper Guy', because he had a bag that was the same as a camper. Christa asked me if she wanted me to come along and she accepted.

The plan of the prank was to scream out the Camper Guy's name as we headed to the rubbish bin. Yasmin gave Christa and I some rubbish to throw away and after we said the Camper Guy's name, my form/English teacher noticed our loudness and she punished Christa and I to throw out everything from the rubbish bin to the outside rubbish bins. And as we got the the rubbish bins, I was laughing out loud as I saw Christa try to pick up a banana peel and throw it directly into the bin. I seeked for her permission to go back into the classroom and fetch Yasmin to help us. She agreed and I invited Yasmin out.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Trying to throw out the food scraps from the class bin to this bin." I answered.
"Why don't you just open up this rubbish bin and empty the whole lot of the class' one?" Yasmin suggested.
Christa and I followed Yasmin's commands and on our first attempt of opening up the outside rubbish bin was a fail but on the second attempt it was successful and we managed to empty out all of the trash in the class bin.

We finally finished and scattered back to the classroom. I'd make that a memory because it was so awkward!
