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?

My Four Senses (30/3/14)

Hey MEDL!

My sincere apologies goes to you all waiting for the next blog post which was posted FIFTEEN days ago. I have been writing like crazy for my other blog, Electra and Marian.
Here is what you deserve after waiting for two weeks!

I stood outside the gym in the middle of lunchtime, taking in as much information of the atmosphere around me using my four senses (would you expect me to taste the air? I hope not).

Sight - Students of different ages are smashing against each other as they play a fierce game of rugby while girls lie and sit down on the evergreen grass trying to find the meaning of life, which is most likely to be Instagram filters and heavy concealer. The warm sun greets soon-to-be sunburnt skin. A teacher on duty passes and greets students to check if they're enjoying their break.

Sound - I could hear people talking behind me. "Hey, what's up, bruh?" "Have you heard of the new yoghurt shop down the road?" "Sometimes, that's just life." From a far distance I could hear the grunts of students playing a variety of sports.

Smell - I inhale the scent of nature. I didn't fancy the outdoors, but to be outside was far more better than staying inside the hot classroom. Colourful ice blocks make an appearance with their sweet but artificial smells.

Feeling - Being under the brim of the outdoor gym roof was obviously colder than being under the sun. Despite being in the shade, my forehead was hotter than ever. I feel a slight trace of pain cover a part of my head. Must be a headache.

The bell rings. I rush to my next class trying to persist the pain I received recently.

Woo, that was a long post! I stopped right there because I was scared that it would become a novel instead of a normal blog post.

Hopefully I will post more often. Thank you for reading!

Where Have I Been?!? (15/03/14)

Hey!

Everyday I am getting busier and busier! I guess school is the reason for my various blogging interruptions. 



My picture files of Violetta are really getting in the way of
my computer space. Meh, I'm not going to delete until I get over Violetta.

Other than school work, there will be a cyclone that will hit New Zealand, but luckily it is not happening in my city right now. I'm getting pretty anxious.

My beautiful idol!
Despite the storm coming, I'm still planning to do my homework. My main focus will be mathematics and religious ed. Wish me luck!

Rocky Shore Trip and Last Day of FABruary (28/2/14)

Hello MEDL!

I hadn't realised that the second month of the year has come to an end. I've been constantly drowning in homework, extra-curricular activities, social life, and my own personal situations. How was it for you all? I hope you're enjoying this year so far.

Yesterday I went on a field trip with my classmates and another class to a rockpool beach, and I can say that it has been the best school field trip I've ever been on. I was with friends building a sandcastle, finding particular sea creatures, and having a blast!

WORST WEEK EVER! (22/2/14)

Hello dear readers!

I just had the worst week ever! Yay! (sarcasm)

I really don't know how it happened. Have I been bad? Do I deserve it? Was this all based upon my terrible decisions?

Let's reflect upon my week:

Monday: I had my first singing lesson with my two classmates.One happens to be my old best friend and I have never met the other classmate. The lesson went smoothly, but I had to miss one of my favourite subjects and borrow Regina's book to copy off the notes I missed out on that lesson.

Tuesday: Mega rush night! I had to write my poem for English, classify molluscs for science, and write up a Letter's to Electra post on Electra and Marian.

Wednesday: Letters to Electra post came out. Can't remember what happened this day.

Thursday: Started to feel sick. Like 'about-to-faint' sick (dizziness)

Friday: The worst day of this week. Regina embarrassed me by saying that I wanted to play chess with the nerdy boys. Ran away to the music suite. Felt a lot better there. Played keyboard for the first time in five years. I love you, music. But then something happened when I was walking home. A little boy spat on me. Was really fed up with everything negative this week.

The Outsider, are you there? I'm going to ignore you, write in my gratitude journal, and get on with my life.
