New Year's Eve

Hey, me again. I just feel like popping up every now and then but tonight I just wanted to end the year. I could write about my day but considering tomorrow is the first day of 2014 I won't bore you with my day.
New Year's Eve. The night you stay up until midnight watching the fireworks with friends and family. Some people make one or more new year resolutions for the new year. I do but never stick to them... If you haven't made one before, it's a great goal and a little bit of fun.
Hope the new year brings you joy and happiness. Thanks for a good year and I look forward to another one starting tomorrow.
Don't stay up to late or wake up too early in the morning. ;)

Enforcement

The mortal instruments series written by Cassandra Clare heard of it? You most likely have because of the movie that recently came out this year. Although, the first book called 'City of bones' was published in 2007. This is the series I'm currently reading at the moment. I started reading it about a month before the movie premiere. The only reason I knew about it was because I found the trailer for it and said it was based on a book series. The trailer looked amazing so I bought the book as soon as I could. I started reading it but I was having trouble getting into it. I got about half way and stopped reading. Months later I was hearing so many good things about the movie and got excited about it but I couldn't watch the movie if I'm half way through the book! So for Christmas, I asked for the other books in the series. The only reason why I did that was to force myself to read the rest of the first book and it worked! I'm pretty into it now and only have 2 more chapters to go then I can finally see the movie!

Sleep in!

So every Sunday, I go to church. I myslef isn't that much of a religious person. I'm kinda made to go and have been since the day I was born. Its not the greatest thing but it can be interesting at times. Listening to whats been said. Anyway, so the chapel I use is shared by another group of people and so we ave different session times. My session time was 9. So every Sunday morning I would get up around 8 or 7:30 and get ready which for me is too early for the weekend but here's the thing. Tody was the last day of the year meaning next week we swap session times with the other group. Guess what time the other session is? 1:00! Meaning I get to sleep in! Ah how I've missed it!

Part 2

Hey everyone! Ever had one of those late movie nights? Well, I just had one which is why I'm so late and I apologise.
I had an amazing time though! Me and the family watched The hobbit: The desolation of smaug in the cinema today and was brilliant! Sorry for those who aren't a fan but how can you not with an action packed adventurous movie like it! I won't spoil it for those who haven't watched it that wants to but you're in for a treat!

Home improvement

Another day of chores...usually not the best thing to do during your summer holiday but my parents have plans for he house especially in the lounge room where I ended doing a lot of work. It mostly included washing the ceiling and walks ready for the room to be painted. This was super annoying because we had to move things like the entertainment unit, piano and other super heavy objects to get to all parts of he wall.
For those on their summer holiday, you are relaxing and having a wonderful time not doing house work...

Boxing day

Today was the first day after Christmas. Boxing day. I'm not sure if thats an international thing or just Australian but that's what we call it. This day has absolutely nothing to for with boxing so I have no idea why bits called that. There's only one special thing about this day and that's the price. The price of what you may ask? Well, the price of everything! Boxing day is when every store has massive sales and all items are reduced. Stores were packed, record breaking que lines but totally worth your wait. I bought a number of things today and it was very fun indeed!

Merry Christmas

Today's the day you wake up and open your stockings. Say Merry Chrostnas to one another and exchange gifts. You have a bit breakfast, lunch or dinner, maybe even all of the above. You spend the day with family and friends. For me it's an Aussie Christmas so shorts, t-shirts, things and cricket. For those I the northern hemisphere it's a white Christmas. Snow falling, sitting by the fire and tugging up warmly. I dream of having a white Christmas, it just sounds beautiful and peaceful.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Enjoy your gifts and look forward to next years Christmas. (It's only 12 months away.) Enjoy your Boxing Day whether it be watching the cricket like me or shopping with those massive sales!

Who knows when it'll be me blogging again. Safe holidays all!

Christmas Eve

Hey all it's me again for today and tomorrow.

It's finally here, that time of the year again, Christmas! Well Christmas is actually tomorrow, tonight is just Christmas Eve, the night before Christmas. You have that big Christmas dinner and put up your Christmas stockings. You go to bed early so Santa doesn't see you and that's why you don't see him. If you say Santa doesn't exist, that is not true. Christmas spirit means believing. Doesn't have to be true to enjoy or believe.
Another thing tonight, it's that awesome friend of mines birthday. He's a great friend so at thank you and wish him a happy birthday and tomorrow a merry Christmas. ^_^

Mery Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!

Pumped

So everyone! In less than 2 hours it'll be my birthday! Yes, the day before Christmas. Many people say " Wow that's so cool!" And others say "Dude that sucks"Well me? It dies kinda suck. Sometimes I'd get birthday and Christmas gifts or they would be combined. With Christmas just round the corner my birthday is kinda just mesh but it's my 16th so I guess that counts for something right? Although it should still be a wonderful day anyway!
Happy birthday for those born on the 24th of December!

Memories

Ever have those small and sweet times where you just talk to a family member and remember past memories and share them. I just had one with y older sister and it was very nice. We've both been overseas and that was the main topic of our talk. We've both been to the USA and spent the time there with same people. After trading stories it turns out I had a much better trip than her. Winner!

If you can with someone, just chat with them. It's really a sweet thing.

Christmas Shopping

Hey Everyone, as you all know the one usually to write up the blog is on holiday and she has been put me in charge until she gets back.
So, once again for me, its that time of the year again. Christmas time. Just 5 days until the magical, happy time of giving and receiving, family and food! Lots of food but before that, it can be a little hectic. You have to set up a tree, maybe make plans to go somewhere but more importantly buy presents. This can either be a hard task or easy. In my case it is easy because in our family we don't have to guess what the other person likes, we just make a wishlist for everyone in the family to see and buy something on that list. Yes, this way, it may not be as fun opening your gift and see what you get but it's good and joyful. So today, we all went Christmas shopping. Having a biggish family though, it's not all done. I guess I'll just have to go back to mall and shop more!
I hope for all those also having Christmas coming up and buying gifts that your having a good time.

Car trip

Hey all, it's me! My overnight stay has wifi so I thought I'd do today's post.
I'm just past half way to my destination and still have another 7 hours to go on the road. Drove 9 hours today and sitting in a car that long makes you very stiff and sore. Going for a walk afterwards is a great way to stretch your legs. Sitting down can be nice as you may just want to relax but after being cramped in a car for so many hours you need to stretch.
Make sure you have something to in the car because otherwise you might die of boredom.

Enjoy my friend and his posts again. Have good holidays all.

Driving!

Hey Everyone! Yes, today it will be that "Awesome friend" today and boy do I have something to tell ya. It may or may not be exciting to you but it was kinda exciting to me. You see today, I went for my very first drive! Even though I've been on my learners for around 2-3 months it's only now that I've driven and it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be which is great! It may not have been a very long drive today but it was one none the less and I do hope to do it again very soon.
I hope those reading can understand my joy!

Packing

So I'm going away on a family holiday for a month. Today I spent the day packing my bag and cleaning my room. When you go away it's always nice to come back to a clean room. Packing can be fun but only if you make it fun. Mine wasn't very fun but that's because I go away to often and no longer have the happy feeling of getting excited while I pack and get things ready. I know all holidays aren't the same but they feel like it after a long time.

I won't be able to do many blog posts for the next month so that awesome friend of mine who does them for me will do them. Hope you enjoy his blog posts and I might surprise you if I can a few times.

Cherish the last moments

16th of  December, 2013

Today was my last chance to catch up with all my friends before I leave on holidays. I caught up with a close friend and it was happy but sad at the end when I had to say bye. I wasn't allowed to be sad so I thought of the happiness I'd have when I saw them again. It's always nice spending the last few days with friends, knowing it'll be the last time to catch up with them for a while. 

If your close with someone, friend or family member and know you won't see them for a while its always nice to spend as much time as possible with them. Cherish it and it'll make you happy and forget about being sad. Wear a smile and think positively.

Better earlier than later

Christmas came early for me this year as I celebrated it tonight. I'll celebrate it again on Christmas Day but that will be with other family members. I'm going away for Christmas this year and so I don't miss out on the chance to spend it with half my family we had it early. I'd say it's better to have it early because then you still have one Christmas a year and for those who love presents they get them that little bit sooner. Having 2 Christmas's is what I always have but this time they're spread out and it's different. Is it the fact I'm growing up or things are just starting to change around me?

Concerts

Everybody loves music. The best kind of music would have to be live though. Seeing the band perform, singing along and jumping up and down. You can also take pictures and video recordings when you see a live performance whereas just listening to it you can't.
Tonight I went with my mum and her friends to see Jon Bon Jovi live in concert on his Australian tour Because We Can. It was amazing. The stadium was packed, everyone sang their hearts out (well I did) and everyone enjoyed the show. Two and a half hours of singing was a pretty great way to spend a Saturday night.
If you really like a band and they go on tour and you want to see them playing live, don't wait! If you need to travel do so! It's the best experience and the best way to enjoy music.

Lunch

Going out to lunch is always nice. I went to visit my mum today at work and she thought we should go to lunch. It wasn't like going out with family, it was more like having lunch with a friend. General conversation that didn't involve anything to do with family. It was a nice change up. (I don't get on too well will my mother so it was a plus.)
Lunch, brunch, dinner and afternoon tea are great times to catch up with people. Doesn't just have to be a special occasion, it can be anytime and with anyone.

Last performance

I did graduate last night but I was invited back to school - with a few others who graduated - to help perform in the school band for one last performance. It was an honor. Almost all of us have been in the band since the beginning of high school 4 years ago. We're referred to as the 'true believers' for sticking with band all the way through our high school years. The friends we've made in other years, saying goodbye to them was hard. I know it was for me. But the hardest part will be saying bye to the band and performing. That had to be our favourite part about high school, it was definitely mine. First band I've been a part of, it was awesome!

Graduation

We finally made it. Four long hard years of high school and now we've graduated. I congratulate all the classes of 2013 on their outstanding achievement! In another 2 years we'll graduate college and that will be the end of school for some. For others uni will mark the end of school. Hard work pays off.
I remember my year group 4 years ago, all small and unsure. 4 years on and this year we were the top and tonight marked the end of our high school years. We made friends we'll keep forever, met teachers who changed our lives and helped us to succeed.
For those who are going to the college I am next year, I will see you then. For those who are not I wish you all the best for your schooling years and future careers. That being said also goes for those who are attending the college I am.
All the best classes of 2013 and congratulations! You made it. Best of luck to you all and follow your dreams, set them high because you are capable of reaching a high goal.

Words

Everyday you use words and all words have meanings. There are big words and small words and both can be confusing. I don't understand many big words and prefer using smaller words. If words are said a certain way or used in a sentence that people can understand they are easy and simple to understand the meaning of. You could ask me the meaning of a word and I couldn't tell you but if you use the word in a sentence and then ask the meaning it's a lot easier to understand and explain the meaning.

Movie flashback

Movies these days have everything, even music to make the movie better. Go back many many years and the actors sang the song. They weren't movies they were musicals. In the middle of a scene actors broke into song then went back to acting the scene out. 

The music in movies back then was and is much different to movies these days. In some ways they are better with people singing but in other cases it is better when there is none. 

Which do you prefer?

Pre-holiday

So I haven't officially graduated but I've finished school. I am school holidays but as I haven't officially graduated I guess you could call it a pre-holiday. What to do? Just do what you'd normally do in the holidays I suppose. Hang with friends, go to the mall, chill at home or be bored. That's pretty much anyone does in the holidays.
I guess this is an extra holiday.

Recovery

After walking in heels for hours or dress shoes and wearing clothes that aren't all that comfortable, you really need a recovery day. A day to chill out, do nothing and put your feet up. You can catch up with friends, that's a great way to spend a free day.

Formal

Tonight might have been everyone's best night of high school. I'm not a party animal but when your whole year is dancing you could call it an out of control zoo! Everyone looked amazing. Dresses in every colour and the boys all suited up and looking hot and handsome. Who knew teenager could look so good! A three course meal and hours of dancing with photographers taking your picture it's a night no one will forget. There were tears and many sore feet. (High heels are pretty but they're also uncomfortable. You look at the dress shoes men wear, they are apparently not comfortable either.)
The teachers were all nice and dressed up.
Everyone looked great and it's a night for all to remember. You all looked stunning! What a beautiful year.

Last time

My last finishing school today and the last time I will ever walk home with my friends. Tuesday was the last day I had class with my friends and today was the last time to spend time with them. We haven't said any goodbyes yet, that is being saved for tomorrow and graduation.
Tomorrow is formal, the day you start talking when you start year seven, then don't talk about until year 10. It should be the best night of high school - the one you spend with the year group.

A day in the park

Today was a pretty good school day, no uniform and no school. My year spent the day down at the lake chilling out. Playing on the equipment, talking to friends or playing a game it was all worthwhile. The point of the day was to interact with everyone, spend some quality time with everyone for one last time. It wasn't like that. We stayed with our own friends. I moved between my friend groups and preferred other groups to my main one. It's nice to change up who you hang with, you become more social person. 

Hanging out and chilling out is the best way to spend  the third last day with all the people you know. All the people who will be split up next year.

Last official day

Come the third day of Summer I finish my last official day of high school. We get our last reports, fill out our form so we can leave and say goodbye and thanks to our teachers. I still have three days but 2 are activities and the last is just an assembly. On the last day or last few days of school you do nothing. The teachers let you watch movies, play games, talk and if you're lucky they let you play on your phone.
You start saying bye to things you're going to miss about whatever school you're leaving. I know I said goodbye to hanging out and sitting with my friends. When you move to college people scatter, I won't be going to school with most of the friends I have made at high school, only a small handful.
Goodbyes are sad but you'll keep in touch. The sad tears can become happy ones.

On the second day of Summer...

It's the second of summer so still at the beginning but is the second last day of high school. You can feel the heat already so you definitely know summer has struck. This summer is the time we'll spend looking back on the year that's gone by and what's happened throughout the different seasons. Events, friends that have come and gone and this summer we'll also look forward towards the new year were we'll make new friends and start a new adventure.
There will be many more days of summer to come.

On the first day of Summer...

Welcome to Summer! Today it will be sunny and very hot. That's summer, hot weather. The time of the year where you go hang out at the pool or go down to the beach. For me it's cricket, lying on the couch with the air conditioner on. But as it's the first of December it's the day you put up your Christmas tree and start to get into the Christmas spirit. Don't forget those advent calendars, chocolates are yummy.
Remember hats and sunscreen so you don't get burnt because that is not a good way to spend the summer...

Christmas shopping

Saturday, 30 November 2013

In every weekend and in all your spare time you get at the moment you spend it thinking about Christmas. Christmas shopping is at the top of everyone's list at the moment. You need to get presents for friends, family and if you have a big heart you buy a present and put it under a giving tree for someone in another country, who doesn't get presents. Family shopping is what I did today and hours of it. I got everything I needed and had to help others. That's the meaning Christmas is bringing joy to people, family and friends and anyone and everyone!
If you have a spare $10 and have a big heart, get something for someone you don't know. It's the best feeling you'll ever get. ^_^
