Seriously ._.

When someone posts something from tumblr/reddit and take credit for it:

But yeah, it's worse when they say "lol" or something. No offence. "lol" ain't the answer to everything. 

Overall more productive than usual. Only spent half as much time on the computer than usual which is still....about 3 hours. I managed to get about 5 hundred or so wallpapers so I guess it was worth it XD

Forgot to mention that THE SUN CAME OUT TODAY. It's good to see some blue sky again after these depressing, sullen, sulky, boring, greyish, dull, bitter, dismal, downcast, forlorn, glum, gloomy, despondent, bereav-- I think you get the point. 

Epitome. of. Awesome. right here. Damn, I should've kept going with parkour. Even the basics would've been good but I guess: coulda woulda shoulda. :/

Hamish and Andy are...well. they're just. awesome. I think.

Pointless Post .__.

I seriously need to get out of this house a LOT more often than I am already. 2 hours battlefield a day and 3 hours of computer on top of that plus an hour or two on maths as well. that's pretty much a school day wasted inside. I guess Mum just means to be protective so that we "don't talk to strangers" and get kidnapped 'n' stuff but I think 2 outings over two weeks is stretching it a bit. tumblr, facebook, blogger, 8tracks, hotmail as well as a whole lot of other sites are restricted until 4:30 in the afternoon. The weather really isn't helping. See, if I was alone at home (or if I had my own house), I'd probably be doing something productive right about now. With music blasting in the background.

SO. ICESKATING. Was pretty awesome. I'm assuming. Huh.

I need to find something to do. Other than computer. But nothing too productive. and since I'm limited to...5 kms of my house, something within my neighbourhood.

Oh wait, today's chin-up day.

That'll do, I guess.

Someone give me something to blog about. PLEASE.

INTERNET <3

YES. FINALLY. AFTER ONE EXCRUCIATING DAY WITHOUT INTERNET. IT'S BACK XD

I guess it was kinda #FirstWorldProblem yesterday but still, it was pretty bad. Or maybe that's just me.

So, quick post today.

- Radio is a lot of fun to listen to 93.3 from 11 till 1 is SBS PopAsia. EXO-M was on yesterday XD and so was SHINee and GG and TTS and some Taiwanese guy. 

- I should probably stop eating these double chocolate chip cookies. 

So SMTown had this concert in Tokyo sometime in April. I managed to find it. A concert involving my two favourite Asian countries, not bad :P It goes for an hour and a half. Video can be found here. 

I must've wasted about half my life doing this but here's the list and times for each band.

0:03:55 SHINee

0:08:10 Super Junior, KRY

If there's something wrong in there, tell me and I'll fix it up :P Umm, not much to say about it, just watch it :D

Y'know what, screw this, I'm gonna go play Battlefield and...not have a life. :P

I think I can honestly say that this is the most excruciatingly slow internet that I have experienced in the last 16 and a half years. Even Internet Explorer at the airports were faster. Nevertheless, I'll probably get to the point. 

It's only been a day and a half, and our family is already bored to shits. The internet is practically dead and Mum limited me to 2 outings throughout the whole holidays. That'll undoubtedly change, but in the meantime, I'm stuck to: playing cello, playing piano, watching movies for the billionth time, drawing (on my wall, mainly), watching daytime tv, and probably trying to do something productive. 

You know what, I think I'm just gonna run around. Y'know, like run to different places rather than just driving, catching a bus or something. If I had a bike, then that would be heaps better but for now, I think my own legs will do. 

So while I'm waiting for my email to open, I'm gonna play three games of solitaire, three games of Hearts, run a lap around the world three times, become world famous, write a biography, come back and keep waiting for it to load.

Guys

Guys. Guys. GUYS. Like guuuiissee. I'm thinking about writing a book review on Reading for Alaska because, well-- for the hell of it (not to mention I've been looking for something productive to do), just so that my blog has some kind of review and that it's not completely about me and all about me and me being awesome. In other words, to be less narcissistic, put it that way.

Since it's holidays, I'm going to 1. Find something productive (like above) and perhaps more, 2. watch a couple of movies, 3. go rock climbing and 4. busk. 'Cause I'm a poor f***er like that. On the subject of busking, does anyone have any ideas for songs that I can play on cello? Something slow and (preferably) calming, since I don't want to end up making customers rush their Sunday Morning Shopping. If you happen to come up with some good ideas, pop them into the cbox on the right and I'll check 'em.

Moving on, I think my blog posts are either too wordy or other blogs have too many pictures on them. I think it's me. So. I'm gonna leave you with a shy cotton ball of "aww"

Oh and The Boat That Rocked is f***ing awesome.

So, the last week of school which means actually attending classes which consequently leads to receiving marks. To. Be. Honest. This hasn't been the best semester/term for me and I'm quite sure that the same could be said for a lot of people in one - if not multiple - subjects. Take Maths, for example. A handful of people aced that exam. A few more did considerably well. A lot more did average and a few more died in a metaphorical sense. I'm not sure how other people went but I'm sure feeling pretty shit about my mark. If it makes anyone feel any smarter, I got a D for Knowledge and Procedures. Yeah, I told my parents about it. Yeah, they gave a lecture about it and yeah, I don't feel so good about it nor am I glorifying the fact that I got a shitty mark (who would?). 

Just because you fucked up this exam or screwed this assignment real bad doesn't make you a bad person. You failed once, but that doesn't mean you failed your life. This is one tiny thing in a big ass life. We're 16, some 15 or 17. Hell, we have 80 - 90 years to live, so this is gonna be one minute mistake in your life. If your parents are gonna get pissed, let them get pissed. Take a little pain. After all, pain is temporary. It might last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but it will eventually subside and something else will take its place. If anything, call it experience. Call it conditioning. Give that thing you call pain a name so that you can take it rather than avoiding it. 

For anything that you do, no matter how embarrassing, no matter how terrible, 99.9999999% of the world's population really don't give a crap. You just happened to know that 0.0000001%.

And if you're ever feeling like you're the tiniest, most insignificant piece of s***, read this and remember it. Maybe you could tell this to someone next time they're feeling down: 

You're not small. You're not merely a microscopic mote floating around in space. You exist in a magnitude of size where you can simultaneously appreciate the vastness of the universe and the minuteness of molecules.

An accepted estimate for the number of stars in the observable universe falls on the order of 1022. There are around 1027 atoms in your body. You are 100,000 universes of atoms, shaped by hundreds of millions of years of evolution, who can marvel at your own consciousness. You are awesome.

Overall marks:

Maths: C/D (expected)

English: B 

French Extension: A

IT: B

Music: A

Drama: A/High B (expected)

So that's my report. Feel free to post some of your epic achievements in the Cbox. It's being taken over by a bunch of Anons...

Oh. And. Remember. There is no angry way to say bubbles. Try it.

Three weeks.

You have no idea how insanely happy I am to have finished off ALL my exams. I pretty much went to school, nervous as shit, and started practicing. Fast-forward a couple of hours and I'm on my way home :D Thing is, I forgot my keys so I spent 2 hours in my backyard trying to figure out how to pitch a curveball. No progress.

Three weeks. Three weeks from now, I'll be on my way to the airport. Three weeks and one day from now, I'll be watching a movie (maybe). Three weeks and two days, there's gonna be, like, a shitload of training 'cause, man, we are gonna need that.

Time really flies so I'm gonna need some rest.

Lately, there hasn't been much going on. Last week the school orchestra performed at a regional fanfare. I'm really not surprised that we didn't make it through. I mean, we kinda stood up at the wrong time and looked really awkward while trying really hard not to burst out laughing. Camerata was good though. Bitch, we aced it.

Have I talked about Looking for Alaska? Probably not, but it's a good book. I'm really not much for writing reviews but it's a big step up from the book that we had to read for English.

I managed to clean up my room. Big time. I changed around a few things, put my clothes back in the closet and got rid of everything but a lamp from my desk.

TBH, I'm not getting much thrill out of the internet anymore. Or as much as I used to be anyway. I think...I might've gotten a life :O no. No, that's unheard of.

OH. I managed to order myself a limited edition SNSD  Album with a bonus poster :3 but it takes about 12 weeks or so...but until then, I'm pretty happy about it :D

For now, I'm just gonna go draw on my bedroom wall~

oh and someone remind me to buy some spray paint. I need some of that stuff.

A la prochaine~

"Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked courage(...)and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that :

"If people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane."

Right in the feelings

So I've been reading up about fan theories and there were a few that really jumped out at me. One in particular was about Garfield. Here it is (edited for grammar):

How Garfield is actually dying of starvation, and just imagining Jon and Odie. There was a reference to this in a Halloween themed comic. Garfield woke up in a condemned and abandoned house. He calls out for Odie and Jon, but there is no answer. He then wills the illusion back on himself and continues his delusions about his 'family'.

I found this incredibly creepy and sad. In fact, I'm down stairs alone the only sounds I can hear is the computer whirring and me tapping the keyboard. Having just walked around the house once, I'm feeling incredibly alone. As if no one ever actually lived in your house at all. Sure, being home alone has its advantages but if you think about it in Garfield's perspective, it's quite...sad really. Yeah, eat all the food you want. Sleep as long as you want. Play games for as long as you want. Hell, watch porn as much as you want but eventually, you'll find that you're so, so alone. Since I've been with Garfield from the start, it actually brought a manly tear to my eye.

Imagine that. Waking up tomorrow on a cold and rainy morning and not finding anyone there. Calling out to your parents or your siblings. Going to the kitchen to find that the chairs have grown old, dust covered the tables and the paint had begun to crack.

There are some things that we take for granted. Even if it's just an everyday thing: Mum or Dad taking you to school. Mum cooking for you. Your brother or sister trying to annoy you. The simple comfort of having someone to be there for you. We spend every day expecting things.

Learn from it. Cherish it. By all means, you can hate it but at the end of the day you have a house, you have a home. You are the 1%. I actually spend nights thinking about how lucky we actually are. That we have a a stable environment, that I live in a safe neighbourhood.

All I'm trying to say is: don't take stuff for granted. Say thank you, say your sorry's and move on. No matter what, everyone will disappoint you. They won't mean to, but they will. Get over what ever you're mulling over about. Go out there and do it. Go to that person and say what you need to. Their reaction might not be what you expected but you all know that feeling of getting something off your chest.

I think I steered a little off somewhere there but I'll leave you guys with a quote:

Never regret something that once made you happy.
