I've actually resorted to Tumblr to start blogging again. More of a thoughts bank. I can also easily reblog pictures on that platform...I'm still keeping this blog for when I feel like it. This time last year, I had just finished posting about my NYC trip and this year, I should be posting about my Boston-London trip but I didn't and it kinda makes me feel stupid...
Oh well. My tumblr URL is here. It requires a password and if anyone is still reading this blog, ask me for the password.

Been a loooooooooooong time since I've blogged. Not that I don't have the time to, (well, most days I don't and I've had some days without homework but I seized the day and watched FRIENDS instead LOL) I'm just lazy.
But yeah.
I'm in badminton season now and it's really fun. Got moved from the noob seed to second seed to FIRST SEED! In like a matter of two weeks, which was a great achievement for me. Um, I'm actually taking badminton really seriously which I did not expect!
I just can't wait for volleyball after spring break because a) I'll finally be playing volleyball b) I'll finally be playing good volleyball c) I'll finally be playing volleyball with GOWN! and d) I'll finally be playing volleyball with the boys/guys/men/males!
YEEEAAAHH MAAAAN
But until then, long-term assignments and the tenth grade presentations.
Woohoo.

Such a bad blog keeper I am! Exams are going to be over in four days yay! Got English done, thank goodness and Science is next. Two of the hardest ones out of the way!
Getting a four-day weekend; I'm soooo happy. I get to spend time with my family and friends. No seriously I actually will be able to in the span of four short days I'm so happy! But I'll do the month by month review pretty soon and a Top 10 post too.
Right now, it's just writing Ionic Formulas and naming Ionic Compounds and naming Covalent Compounds, Newton's Law of Motion, the coefficient of friction, kinetic energy and whatnot going through my head. Always fun.

So that month by month review from last week kinda didn't happen. I'm really certain about doing one but exams are in the way and I can't find enough time from school, studying and touch to properly blog since it's not one of my top priorities right now! Complete annihilation of exams needed terribly.
Going through astronomical stress and pressure right now. Mostly self-inflicted. Man, I have got to teach myself about not stressing myself out. Sometimes, it's beneficial to me though. Paradox? No...just me. How I think about things can be inscrutable. College and summer school and other things that have to do with my future are kinda taking over my thoughts right now and I can't help it.
Have exams been a wake up call? *slaps self*

Hi
Hello! I haven't posted in almost a month now... It feels weird to be back here again. I probably haven't posted because winter break was in full swing and I didn't have the motivation to post HAHA. Anyways, a lot has happened since I've last posted - some I will blog about in this monstrous post (it doesn't seem like quite the monstrosity now but it will...in another three paragraphs or so) and some I will not. For some odd reason, I feel like doing some kind of rant/opinion with a list and stuff. Sort of like the Top 10 of the year but I'll do that next! First for a lengthy post about my Christmas break and the chaos before it.
Winter break commenced four days before I posted my last post and frankly, it's been quite productive and quite fun. An equal mix of both, maybe. I have exams right when I get back to school (stupid) and I've been pushing myself to be productive, organized and ready. There's nothing worse than feeling unproductive and living a sedentary lifestyle. Can't stand it. Also, I have a beep test and a touch tournament when I get back so there's nothing that seems more important than keeping fit (which I am not) and studying my behind off. But also, I have to enjoy my holiday (as instructed by my madre) and not just study and workout. I was literally instructed to the pool in Bali.
I spent a week in my abode studying and going over Business Studies and Math before jet-setting to Bali, Indonesia. I haven't been to Bali since I was half a decade old and I created so many memories there with my family when I first went. My first trip to Bali was the first time I went underwater and the first time I got those intense braids by the beach. This time, I basically did nothing by the beach. By nothing I mean, suntan, swim, study, shop, eat, sip on my Berry Ice Granita and fool around with the rugby ball I brought with my pals. It was bliss. Really. Five actual days - the sixth being my day of departure - in the sun. I managed to study quite a bit getting Mandarin done and finishing with the French Revolution for World Studies.
I managed to get a tan...ish but kinda got sunburned on my shoulder area. Not too bad. There were such great shops by my hotel and it was so nice to be able to walk around and just not give a crap about anything. The rest of my day was, again, spent throwing the rugby ball around, actually running with the ball on the beach (which is pretty hard I must say) and just dodging waves in the choppy sea. Those waves were huge. And since sand is so "malleable", the water would drag the sand as it went and I would end up landing after jumping with saltwater up my nose. Great.
If I wasn't in the sea or in the pool, I was studying, which was actually quite a lot of time. I was ordered to go into the pool by my mother, my cousin and my friends. I was that motivated to study. I just felt really unprepared at that point but I made up for it when I got back from my trip. I also managed to work out besides running on the beach playing rugby so that was good too! Until I got back. The atmosphere of the beach was so exhilarating though, besides creepy people. And the killjoy lifeguard who actually didn't allow people to go out to swim in the sea or any further than like 30 feet from shore. It wasn't that deep, though because the sand wasn't going very deep...if that makes sense. It just kept going really flat with some dips here and there due to the waves and whatnot. Though there was a lot of gunk going around like plastic bags, which was disappointing, and those things constantly scared me because I thought they were either fish or eels.
I got to go back to restaurants I visited when I went to Bali previously like Hana, a Japanese restaurant, and KuDeTa, a beach club-ish thing. We also went to this beach club called Potato Head (I personally really love the name of this place) and it was beautiful. The music was so good, the food was mouth watering and the ambience was to die for. Dim with good music and the sound of waves crashing on the shore. The architecture of this place is so eccentric, I love it so much. Ahh, just how the entire place was laid out. Amazing.
The trip had to end some time and I wasn't really looking forward to it, obviously. I just need exams to be annihilated forever. Other than that, my winter break has been occupied with studying, beach bliss, working out and rewatching FRIENDS and New Girl! I haven't even started watching Castle Season 4...or 5 was it? I'm not too sure. Ahh so behind.
Anyways, it's been a long post and I need to get on with studying. Top 10 of 2012 coming soon. Happy New Year! And I hope you had a great Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza, whichever you celebrate, Christian, Jew or not.
Also, I've passed 12100 views on my blog yay!
Winter break commenced four days before I posted my last post and frankly, it's been quite productive and quite fun. An equal mix of both, maybe. I have exams right when I get back to school (stupid) and I've been pushing myself to be productive, organized and ready. There's nothing worse than feeling unproductive and living a sedentary lifestyle. Can't stand it. Also, I have a beep test and a touch tournament when I get back so there's nothing that seems more important than keeping fit (which I am not) and studying my behind off. But also, I have to enjoy my holiday (as instructed by my madre) and not just study and workout. I was literally instructed to the pool in Bali.
I spent a week in my abode studying and going over Business Studies and Math before jet-setting to Bali, Indonesia. I haven't been to Bali since I was half a decade old and I created so many memories there with my family when I first went. My first trip to Bali was the first time I went underwater and the first time I got those intense braids by the beach. This time, I basically did nothing by the beach. By nothing I mean, suntan, swim, study, shop, eat, sip on my Berry Ice Granita and fool around with the rugby ball I brought with my pals. It was bliss. Really. Five actual days - the sixth being my day of departure - in the sun. I managed to study quite a bit getting Mandarin done and finishing with the French Revolution for World Studies.
