Oops - sorry for being a lousy blogger. I have a new blog and a livejournal now, as well as a fistful of exams coming up. It's a recipe for disaster.

-&-

I love blogging, but is there a point to it when you know no one's going to read it?

I know that this blog will get no further than my own eyes, but i still post stuff that I think other's would want to see.

However - if someone is actually reading this piece of crack, then honestly, thank you, but you may want to move on to someone else's - I'm a strict writer for randomness that no one's going to read...

Anywho, the show must go one-->

If you like fashion, i've found a fab blog that'll quench (or not?) your tingly fashion senses - i'm a sucker for a bit of la mode (if that's even grammatically correct for the Frenches...)

- Here ye... [The Fashion Breakfast Club]

Go wild...

Mannn..

Media teacher's cripesss...

He's a stupid, leniant and oblivious man and he's going to be the one who makes me fail Media :(

I'd love media if i got a good teacher with a small class and no annoying classmates, who are as stupid as you can get :@ (I've got exactly the opposite, thanks to my bad, bad luck...)

Shooting hell - this is going to be TOUGH year...

-HELP!

Oh, and I've decided to teach myself the basics of politics so I can try and take it for A-Levels :D

Politics is a subject that I'd like to know more about because kids these days are so oblivious to governmental issues and don't, to be frank, give a damn :)

But if i end up not liking the course, then I'll drop it and probably take another instead.

I had the choice to take physiology for GCSE's, but I didn't and now I'm kind of regretting it.

It seems like a good subject and I don't really know why I didn't take it.

Instead, I had to take a stupid, stupid subject with only 3 girls (including me) in it - ICT :/

I regret choosing it, but I can't go back now. I'll just have to deal with it because I was the one who chose it.

I might choose to take Physiology for A-levels, but I'm not sure yet...

- Got to leave my choices WIDE open :)

Well, that wasn't so bad, now, was it?

It was my first day of school in Year 10 today.
7 weeks off for summer vacation went pretty fast and before you know it, I'm all growin' up :)
I managed to get a weird new teacher for Media Studies and a REALLY quiet teacher in Maths.
I also, coincidentally, got the 'teacher-from-hell' (as some would call her) for French, but luckily, she likes me, so I'm safe for the next 2 years I'll have with her :)
Oh, oh, oh! I also got the new Media Suite for Media.
It's apaz really spunky, but I dunno'. I haven't seen it yet, but my first Media lesson is on Thursday, i think??

Aw, shucks - I ate all the Hula-Hoops o.o
I wasn't supposed to eat the whole pack, cuz' my sister's making us din-dins soon...
Whoops :D

Little Subjects

I'm currently suffering from writer's block...
I can't think of how to continue my Naruto fanfics;
(here, btw and here :) Review if you have an account ;D)
Hmm... I'm not even sure if I like the second one.
The first few chapters are absolute crap and I don't even know what's going to happen ><

Anyways, I'm facebooking so much these days :
I bet it's not even good for your health.

Oh, and I start my grown-up lessons soon at school, AKA. Year 10 GCSE preperation lessons :P
Sounds fun enough :)
I ended up spending a good deal of my time towards 'Germanese' revision. (Y)
What can I say; I want to do well in my studies ^^
But, it's the same-old-same-old. I'm going back to school on Tuesday, and I haven't even got my school uniform sorted...

Ponyo, Ponyo, Ponyo, She's a round bellied girl... (8)

I've just finished watching the new Studio Ghibli film; Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea :D

It's unbelievably cute!

If you're wondering how I got access to it, I managed to buy the DVD when I went Hong Kong.

Lucky ><

It's like THE kawaii-est movie ever!

I love, love, love Studio Ghibli, and I own most of the films on DVD (Y)

I don't, however, have Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies, Pom Poko, Porco Rosso or My Neighbour the Yamadas. I really want to own each and every one of them on DVD though... :D

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea is about a red-haired goldfish, who one day goes up to the surface of the sea and falls in love with a little boy named Sosuke. However, Sosuke doesn't know that Ponyo is 'special'. She can turn into a human, temporarily, when she tastes human blood - and she just so happens to taste Sosuke's blood... That's where this magical and unique tales begins :)

Another animation I'm hooked on at the moment is Gundam :P

I've only just begun watching Gundam Seed though, and have only watched 3 episodes, but in those 3 episodes, I've experienced LOADS of action and an adventure in the making! It's great, and I'm a shonen anime addict at the moment, and I'm definitely fangirling over this!

Other shonens I'm watching include; Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, Gintama, One Piece and Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

To be honest, I ;heart; romance, but at the moment, shoujo isn't appealing to me.

It's cute and everything, but the only shoujo I'm watching is Shugo Chara - that's weak.

I'm usually hooked onto shoujo - it's weird...

I think it's because shonen anime has WAY more good-looking guys in it (haha), and real, action-packed fights. One turn off though, is the amount of FILLERS! ><

I hate them!

But, c'est la vie.

Oh, oh, oh!! I forgot to tell!

In HK, i managed to find a VCD version of Koizora! I mentioned Koizora in an earlier post because I ended up watching it online, and found it to be one of the most heart-warming films on earth!

I actually freaked when I saw it in a store - it was one of HK's latest releases, although in Japan, it's considered quite old...

I love the film! ^^

"Ponyo loves Sosuke"

The VitaminWater Breakthrough!

There's a GENIUS invention out there!

It's name, you ask?

The ONE & ONLY VitaminWater!

I'm hooked on the stuff, and it's really good for you! ><

One pity though - England only has 6 flavours, whilst America (Damn you -_-) has 15 flavours!

Anddd... America's wayyy cheaper for a bottle.

In England, the cheapest you can get a bottle of VitaminWater is at about £1.40.

In America, however, you can get a bottle of the 'goodstuff' for $0.50 at it's cheapest!

Look at exchange rates now-a-days, and do the maths!

I still buy it though, 'cuz it's damn heavenly!

Favourite flavour is probably Revive for recovery ;P
Spark's the only flavour with natural caffeine, so it's my official revision drink :D

~~

At the moment, I'm totally hooked on Taylor Swift :D

I heart 'You Belong With Me', and it's video.

I'm on a downloading spree for my iTunes library ;)

Chaos

I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown soon...
I'm going all physced out because of this tiff between me and my friend.
It happened about a month ago, but ever since I saw her in town the other day, I feel as if it isn't over between me and her.
There's a stiff tension around her that makes me think that she hates me.
Perhaps she does - but perhaps she doesn't.
I'll be making false assumptions against one of my friends. That's one of the worse things I could ever do.
I keep telling myself that things will be okay, but, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure they will.
This morning, I had to chant 'Healthy mind, Healthy body' - whatever that means, and I had to keep telling myself to calm down - all because I kept getting fired up whenever something went wrong - for example; my hair looks terrible and I couldn' t get it to at least look decent. I re-did it a zillion times, but tried to keep my nerves at a steady rate.
I don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

LET THE LOVE TEAR US APART;

Hey, hey! I'm backk :)
Stormy weather today :( It's raining and it's windy and it's dull.
Which literally means that i'm feeling a bit under the weather as well

But, good news is always there and i'm delivering :)

~

Kawaii Notice, everyone!

♥ messing around in your room and taking random photos?
That's exactly what i ended up doing yesterday :D
It was my geek day, with my glasses (which were the 3-D ones that i went to watch Coraline with (Y)) and a Fruits Basket manga, Vol. 1 ^^

I want my money back, I want my money back, I want my money back,

TRAFFIC JAM!

Sorry for the delay these past few weeks. I was on holiday in Humid Hong Kong ^^

It was fun, as always. Me and my family go almost every year, and each year always seems to surprise me.

HK is like a second home to me, and I even sometimes feel that the country i'm living in right now isn't good enough... Because it isn't.

HK has everything that I want in life - it's a bustling city/ you can travel to places easily/ you're familiar with the Chinese-ness/ it's prosperous and active/ there's LOADS of kawaii shops etc./ but most of all - the boys :)

I suddenly realised on my trip to HK this year the reason why i'm not interested in Western boys.

Being a true British-born-Chinese, i should have some interest in the matter of boys when i talk with my friends or my sisters, but, to be honest, i don't.

And the reason? All the boys they talk about are Western males; from movies or TV or our classes together.

But in HK, they, of course, have LOADS of Chinese males, which i actually take interest to. It's the same with Japanese men or Korean men - it's the east-Asian look I personally like :)

Actually now that i think about it; this topic is kind of... weird, isn't it?!

I think it's teenage hormones :) *haha*

Anywho, more on the information about where we stayed etc. (Back to basics ;])

Our Aunt kindly lent us out her apartment in the Eastern bit of the New Territories.

It's super nice there, but it wan't our first time. She had lent it out to us last year too.

Very modern and industralised, it's ages different to my dad's old village, where he used to live as a kid boy - aww.

Our dad always says how 'when he was younger, all he had to play with were marbles, so you should be grateful for what you have now'.

... It makes him sound so old!

But, i am very grateful for all the things i have.

Talking about grateful...

My dad brought me a spanking, new laptop :D
Strangely, i didn't even have to ask him for it, because i wasn't even intending on buying a laptop when i got on the plane for the flight.

It never even crossed my mind 'till he said to me, after discussing about my sister's want for a new laptop, "Do you want a laptop as well?"

Obviously, i said nonchalantly: "Only if you're willing to pay."

:P

It's a white Fujitsu.

I was trying sooo hard to look for a white laptop, because i think the colour suits technology.

A black sheen is always classic, though.

I'll be reporting more of my time in Honky Land :D
