Day 13: "My Biggest Regret" (13/1/15)

Dear MEDL,

Day 13: "Do you have a regret?"

Do I have a regret? Even though I've lived on this planet for a short time, I have made a countless amount of regrets.

Last year, I completed an open-book exam on the Native Americans. The test asked questions like, "What problems did [the settlers] encounter while on their way to the West?"
I didn't use my social studies notes but instead created my own story, which included something like, "their sister died when they ran out of food."
My class & I received our results the next day and I earned a horrifying grade which I'm frightened to write about.  

On social media websites, I have written negative comments and posts. Most of them read, "Ew, I look horrible in this picture!" and, "Why didn't you ask permission from me to post this online?"
Up to now, I don't think before I comment. It's quite sidetracking that other people post rude sentiments that it influences you to duplicate their actions.

I regret not taking action whenever someone was in need. I regret procrastinating every time I receive an assignment. I regret showing no appreciation to the important people in my life. And finally, I regret not taking the time to improve myself and others.

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

Day 12: "Something That I Miss" (12/1/15)

Day 12: "Something that you miss."

I miss the important people in my life, like my family in the Philippines and my teachers and friends at school.

Gwen is my best friend (as I've told you) and so far in the end-of-year break we have seen each other once in real life and multiple times chatting on social media. She told me that so far she has been bored and that she's missing Alan. Hold on there, Gwen!

I also miss the time when people didn't insult different stereotypes. When can teenage girls live their lives without being offended by other people? We all need to know our differences, and what makes us all unique and recognizable.


I'm sorry that today's post is short, but I promise that tomorrow will be long enough for you all to read.

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

I Went Outside Today! (11/1/15)

Dear MEDL,

I went outside today! This doesn't often occur in my holidays. My family & I tried to travel to several scenic parks, but instead we got lost in the outback. Don't worry, we came back to our city (if we were still lost I wouldn't be writing this blog entry.), ate pizza at a local park, and went shopping at the mall. The only bad thing (apart from a personal problem), that happened this afternoon, was that my mother & I got a little bit carsick by being driven from place to place.

Day 11: "The last book you read."

The last book, I read, was my science textbook called 'SciPAD book 1.' The reason, why I read this book before school starts, is because I'd like to get a grip on what I'm supposed to study this year. My favourite topic in this textbook is the fist chapter called 'Introduction to the Lab.' Overall, I am excited to use this book later this year.

Day 9: "What's On Your Life List/Bucket List?" (9/1/15)

Dear MEDL,

Day 9: "What's on your life list/bucket list."

Marian's Bucket List:

• Pass all exams with flying colours

This year I'm planning to focus on the subjects I'm most vulnerable at which are science and social studies. When I complete NCEA I hope to receive merits/excellences.

• Finish high school

While I am at high school, I'd like to join as many co-curricular activities mainly to do with music and academics. Once I reach year thirteen I plan to become the music or languages captain. 

• Attend a successful University and double major in psychology/anthropology and minor in forensic science

When I say, "a successful University," I mean the recognizable Universities like Yale or Auckland. Hopefully, I'll do well enough to join these schools.

• Receive a Ph.D. in forensic anthropology (or psychology or just anthropology)

I'd probably like to study for it once I have gained the other degrees and while I'm already working for a big company.

• Start a family

The time I prefer to get married is when I've finished all of the above. Estimated around the time of my late 20s - early 30s.

These seem like average goals to you, but to me they are horrifying. I can't even count how many times I would suffer to reach these goals. 

What are some things that are on your bucket list? Tell me on the MEDL Facebook page or comment below. 

Thank you for reading today's blog post.

Day 8: "Biggest Pet Peeve" (8/1/15)

Dear MEDL,

Credit is in the picture.

Day 8: "Biggest pet peeve."

A list of my biggest pet peeves:
- When people don't use their signal while driving (although I am not a driver yet)
- People who drink straight out of the carton/bottle
- Classmates who ask irrelevant questions
- TVs, computers, or anything technological left switched on
- People with bad manners
- People who disrespect sacred places (like church or cemeteries)
- Drivers who use their mobile phones while in the middle of driving
- People who interrupt me while in the middle of talking
- When parents make a Facebook or any other social media profile for their babies
- Unequal equations, shapes, or anything that can be unequal (inequality)
- INCORRECT GRAMMAR
- People who don't hug me when I'm sad (I'M GIVING YOU A SIGN!)
- People who use cursive words in front of children
- HYPOCRITES (although I can be one)
- LITTERBUGS
- People who use the 'word' "umm" too many times

The pet peeves, which are in capital letters, are the biggest ones I have.

Incorrect grammar is a massive nuisance to me. 'Your/ you're' and 'their/there/they're' are all different, and are easy to understand. Punctuation is also very simple to understand.

Littering is a very big issue on this planet, but people still continue to do it. There would be a rubbish bin 50 centimeters away, but I can still see an empty can of Coke in front of me.

I'm sorry for this very short blog post, but thank you for taking your time to read it. Stay power and beautiful as usual.

Shopping for Stationary! (7/1/15)

Dear MEDL,

There are exactly three weeks and one day until school starts for me so my mother & I went shopping for school supplies today! I adore shopping for school stationary because you can start the year off with new things. This year I'm supposed to start using textbooks and for some reason I have a habit of being obsessed with them.

After getting everything I needed, me and my mother travelled to the library and read through the textbooks. The maths textbook contained information I was already informed of, but the science textbook looked challenging to study. Isn't it unusual that I consider maths to be easy while I struggle with science?

Day 7: "What is your dream job?"

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE DAY! I've been desperate to write about this.

Most of the people in my life already know what I'd like to be when I finish schooling. I want to become a forensic anthropologist. It seems like the last career to think about since I am miserable at science, but the TV show 'Bones' inspired me to become a forensic anthropologist, although some of what they mention on the show is scientifically inaccurate.

Forensic anthropology is used to solve how a corpse died, what it looked like before, and who killed them when the body is in the advanced stages of decomposition.

When I was younger, I wanted to become a restaurant owner, a baker, a princess (when I was 3-6 years old), a psychologist, a mathematician, and now a forensic scientist. I still want to become a mathematician, a psychologist, or a forensic scientist up to now.

For people who haven't finished school, what would you like to be when you grow up? And for the people who already have a job, what kind of job did you want to have when you were younger?

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