Growing Up (21/07/14)

Salutations my beautiful friend!

At school we have just started term three, which means that things are getting serious. Are we really halfway through the year? It feels like the first day of term one was yesterday. You will expect me to go on and off this blog, since I have EAM and academic errands to run. But for the meanwhile, growing up and getting close to my thirteenth birthday has been a whirlwind. Receiving hormones and going through this stage of growing up is confusing and wild, and I'm so glad that I'm not the only one experiencing these weird sentiments.

I tend to compare myself to the Girl Meets World characters. Why do I always worry over things I have no control over? Is that part of being a Virgo? The characters I mostly compare myself to are Riley and Topanga. If you have watched Boy Meets World you might recognise the name Topanga. She's the girl who every boy wants and every girls wants to be. Riley, on the other hand, is like Cory from the same show (can't blame her for acting like her dad): awkward, really interested in the opposite gender, and overthinks too much. I have to confess that I'm a try-hard at imitating their actions. If someone needs help, then I'd be like Topanga and give advice with difficult-to-understand vocabulary, and if I'm with my 'crush' I try to act awkward and overthink about "anything I have no control over".

Everytime I get a chance to publish a blog post on this blog I never have anything else to talk about. 

WHY?!?

Well, I hope you've liked this blog post. I'm sorry this is a short one but I really have nothing else to talk about. Bye!

Dear 18-Year-Old Self... (7/7/14)

On my 'Things to do Before Turning 13' list there is an instruction to write a letter to my future self. Instead of just writing a letter, I'm creating a scrapbook. The scrapbook will include the letter, stories/characters I create, pictures and many more. Here is a sneak peek of what I have written so far:

Dear 18-year-old self, please don't forget to stop and look at the beautiful view. Remember how far you have gotten in life.

Inside the scrapbook I have included what is trending today since I wanted my future self to feel nostalgic. I put loom bands and I'm also planning to put the names and stories of characters I have created, like Natalie Kinly.

My future plans. I have noticed that my expectations are
impossibly high o_o

A little note I have put on the first page

I'm going to print this picture out so my 18-year-old self can
laugh at how crazy she was at 12 :P

I'm using a webcam to take pictures. I'm sorry
for the bad quality

Other than creating a scrapbook and completing my list of things to complete before turning 13, it's the term 2 holidays! It's been relaxing. I'm spending my holiday doing chores and having infinite amounts of Boy Meets World marathons. I wish I had more time to just relax and not worry about anything. That'd be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Enough of the blabbing. Thank you for reading today's post on Marian's Everyday Life! Remember to keep on learning from your mistakes.

A Visual Thinker (24/06/14)

Hello. I am a visual thinker who cannot draw nor sculpt. It makes explaining difficult for me because I cannot put my perceptions into words.

An example follows:
Picture a classroom full of learning students.The teacher is showing this image to the students:

English Teacher: What's the theme here?
Me: Dreams.
English Teacher: Can you please explain why the theme is dreams?
Me: *stares at the picture and thinks in pictures* Hand. Mirror. Girl reaching towards it. Fading effects used.
English Teacher: Hello Marian? Have you got an answer yet?
Me: So, look at the girl. *thinks of next words to say* Her hand is touching the hand coming out of the mirror.
English Teacher: What? Please separate your words.
Me: Uh... um... *starts to panic* I'M SORRY!
English Teacher: Why did you say sorry?
Me: *puts head on desk*  Why did I do that?


Ladies and gentlemen, the disadvantages of being a visual learner who doesn't have a fine skill in art. Ta-daaa!

Today I got a book from the library while I have another book I need to read. Is that considered book cheating? Here are the two books I am reading. I can say that they are total opposites.

First time reading Artemis Fowl. Pretty ironic of me to start
at the end. At LitQuiz there was a question about this series.

Little Sara is so adorable. I have heard of this classic
more than thrice.

MARIAN'S EVERYDAY LIFE IS 2 YEARS OLD! (13/06/14)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEDL!  

Yesterday we celebrated the day when this blog was started up; the 12th of June 2012. I was only ten years old when I posted the first entry on this blog. As a child of the 21st century everyday after school I hopped in front of the computer and played on it and after a couple of hours I found Blogger, a website by Google where you can create free blogs and do whatever you please on them, so I decided to join this new, unfamiliar network. After figuring out how to do this and that, I wrote and published my first blog post:

Am aware of the grammar mistakes. Pardon my French.

Run, Sprint, Walk, REPEAT! (22/05/14)

In P.E we are being assessed for our fitness levels and today we had to do the twelve minute run. To complete the twelve minute run you must run around the field and do as many laps as you can in twelve minutes. The boys went up first while the girls were stretching and counting the laps of the boys. Once the boys were done the girls went up. When the  I had done five and a half laps and earned red pigmented cheeks along with a dry throat. While I was walking back to the changing rooms I witnessed that one of my classmates were having an asthma attack. My other classmates got attached to the situation and one of them thankfully ran to the teacher. I ran away after that because I thought that she would be fine and it would be better for my hyperventilating classmate to have a smaller crowd surrounding her.

I cannot stop fangirling about GIRL MEETS WORLD! I am currently loving the predecessor, Boy Meets World. I wish I was like Topanga. Finding her special other at the age of 2, being a valedictorian, and having a successful career as a lawyer and mother. Plus, she has such perfect physical features! If you have watched the series, you might know that she was popular for her golden locks.

To celebrate the release of the pilot episode of Girl Meets World, there will now be a photo montage of Boy Meets World.

Look at her hair!

A Trip to Hamilton, la la la... (19/4/14 - 20/04/14)

I have just arrived from my overnight trip, so I warn you for my dozy and unsimplified sentences.

My family along with our friends' families as a big group visited Hamilton, the city where I lived my early childhood when my family and I came here to New Zealand for the first time. We actually didn't go straight to the town but first entered the three Waitomo caves located one hour away from Hamilton.

I'm the kid with the red vest.

The first cave was beautiful filled with the lovely company of glow worms. We went on a small boat ride and had to keep quiet as possible and turn off our devices, otherwise the glow worms (they're actually maggots) turn their lights off and transform the cave into pure darkness, definitely not worth of our money.

On our way to the second cave I started to get carsick. I haven't gone on road trips for a very long time and I lost my ability to handle long trips. I had trouble climbing up the stairs to the entrance of the cave nearly falling in the middle of a huge flight of muddy outdoor stairs. My father took care of me, ready to catch me if I slipped or had a huge case of dizziness. As I regained my conciousness I got to experience the cave. The first was better since this cave didn't contain glow worms or interesting history.

Here I am in the second cave named Aranui, still having spells
of dizziness as I clench onto the hand railing.

The last cave enchanted me. It was called the Ruakuri cave, meaning 'two dogs' in Maori. This cave did have a mind-catching history. The tour guide mentioned that a particular family owned the cave and held tours, but the government didn't approve of the claim. So the family got their cave taken off them and the government stopped holding tours for visitors. Later on the family found out a law that whoever owned it first will keep it forever throughout generations. Reminds me of kindergarten, but with landmarks instead of toys.

After all the cave visiting we escaped to Hamilton to stay in a hotel and in the hotel room we stayed in there was an exciting surprise - a jacuzzi was sitting on one side of the master bedroom! My sister and I immediately got in and enjoyed the bubbles in the warm water.

Spending the night with
wet hair, comfy pyjamas, my mum's phone and a novel to read.

When the next day came it was Easter day so what better way to celebrate the holy day with attending mass. In Hamilton we already knew what church to attend mass since I went to a school with a cathedral right next to it during my time in Hamilton. The church remained the same layout as the last time I came to visit two years ago. 

Our group had a quick lunch in a Chinese restaurant and departed to go back to our homes. I still feel dizzy spells from the carsickness.

APRIL FOOLS! (1/4/14)

It feels rather pleasant to blog again, despite that I blog three-five times a week on both of my blogs combined.

The 32nd of March, how could anybody forget? Most of my so-called 'friends' got pranked, but only in a small degree. On Facebook I posted that I created a Youtube channel, but it was basically the 'Rick-Roll' video. Nobody seemed to notice as there were no likes, nor comments.

Please, it's all I ask of you.

Sherlock Holmes is EXCITING! Since I have no access to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, I am watching the vintage adaptation TV series of  the famous stories. The episode I'm currently watching is The Solitary Cyclist. It's about a female music teacher who is being followed by a mysterious persona and seeks The Great Detective for help. I haven't finished the episode, but read the summary in the 'Sherlock Holmes for Dummies' book. It has been exciting so far, discovering this magnificent work of literature. I've also heard that American fans are called 'Sherlockians', while fans from Britain are named 'Holmesians'. If they're that, then what are Kiwis and Australians called?
