CUATROS SEMANAS

Aloha honeybunches! :) How are we all? Golly, it has been a while. Almost 4 weeks actually. That's one entire month! Sorry about that, just wasn't feeling the blogging vibes recently. There's actually so much I have to blog about and I don't know if I'm going to be bothered writing about ALL of it. Oh well, I'll try my best and if you get bored out of your wits, feel free to press that x button on the right hand side of your screen anytime or use any other method to close ya browser. :)

Righto! First event: FRAYNEY FRAYNE SPEECH FESTIVAL :D

Frayne was heaps of fun despite the fact it took us 8 hours on the bus to get there. We shared the bus with another girls school and they were lovely, a little bit loud but very lovely. We got to our accommodation at around 6 or so in the evening and the cabins were so cute. I unfortunately didn't get people I liked in my cabin. hahah, just kidding, love you Tash, Michelle and Kimberley :) The cabin had the own little kitchen and bathroom and bunk beds and couches and tvs and everything. I don't think I'd mind living there for a while. :) We then went to meet the other schools to eat dinner and mingle and stuff and ya know ;D I met a couple of the people I saw at Seeds which was AWEEESHUM because they also remembered me! (awww) But the best part was when my so called friends locked me outside the cabin so I was left banging on the door like a very sad person while they ignored me. :( YOU FEMALE CANINES. HOW DARE YOU?! No, really, it was not a good experience. So they are no longer my friends. hmph. Just kidding, I actually found myself laughing along since Kimberley fell off her chair so ya know, THAT IS KARMA FOR YOU GURLLFREN.

 After that, we all hopped on a bus to FOOOOOODD! :D We ate our food and then went back to our cabins and chilled out for a bit, just doing silly stuff like making and taking photos and stealing freebies. (I have a organic facial bar thing which I haven't used yet, in fact I don't even know where I placed it. :S :D

After lots of mucking around (Cindy walking in with her cat onesie) (pictures below ;D), it was finally sleepy sleep time. There was a room with a double bed and so we all decided to sleep in the same bed with Tash sleeping on the mattress on the floor and had a heart to heart to heart to heart (geddit)? till about 2 or 3 am when we were supposed to get up at around 7 or so. Not such a good idea.

We woke up to Kimberley's loud ass alarm and groggily got ready and loaded all our stuff onto ze bus. "We're off to see the Wizard of Frayne!" Nope, that wasn't funny in my head and it's not funny in text. Anywho, we were on a bus with the other lovely girls school who were oh so nice though a little random so the bus trips were never boring. HAHAH  We arrived at the school where the competition was taking place and ate breakfast. I think the orange juice was a little bit weird because there were about 15 girls waiting outside the toilet after drinking it. :S (Me included)

The verse choirs were then led to the hall and the debating and public speaking competitions were held elsewhere. We met lots of really nice people because everyone in the country is so goddamn lovely. Besides a select few but the nice outweighed the mean so all was good in the 'hood/country. The school captain then began the competition with an extremely elaborate speech (I'm kidding, it was more like, "Welcome welcome. Let's begin this as quickly as possible so I can limit my time here." Though he was supposedly very good looking as evidenced by the many girls from the schools crowding around him like some sort of superstar. I personally didn't really see it. WELP.

 On to ze performance. There were a couple of really really amazing performances and you could tell that they took these things super seriously because their performances were basically perfect. Ours on the other hand, weren't so much. I think quite a lot of people stuffed up (including me) due to nerves and  intimidation I guess? But oh well, we got up there, performed our piece which was a nice tribute to J. K Rowling. I was secretly hoping that the judges would be crazy closet Harry Potter fans but I guess not since we didn't place. :( Despite the not so successful result, I think everyone had heaps of fun and that's all that matters. :) I laughed so much when one of the girls from the school that won the competition because I didn't realise anyone took it THAT seriously. We're just reciting and dramatising a couple of poems, it's fun and all, but it's not like a life or death situation where I would think anyone would actually burst into tears.
After our performance, it was lunch which I actually can't remember what we ate. HAHAHA, hey, it's been four weeks, cut me some slack here. You probably shouldn't, I deserve this. Cindy, Tash and I also went to watch the public speaking finals after that which was AWESOME because they were all soooooooo bloody good and passionate and just really really really brilliant. They all performed wonderfully and they had really professional cue cards and it was just fantastico! The girl who won the public speaking competition was absolutely fantastic; her topic was about preserving language. She delivered her speech with such ease and she didn't sound like a know-it-all which was refreshing. It was just really nice, succinct, witty and winner material (which of course she did)! :)

It was then the end of the day. :( So we all hopped on the bus for the 8 hour bus ride home. Most of us slept, read or told each other scary stories as it was getting dark which was VERY VERY FUN. :D We also stopped for pizza in which I basically inhaled about 4 slices because I was so hungry. I know, I'm a fatty, leaf me be. EHHEHEH tasted soooo good though. And the rest of the ride home was pretty quiet until we finally got back to school at around 10 - 10:30pm. The school we were on the bus with were so lovely and one of them said they couldn't have asked for better busmates. NGAWWWWWW :') So we're all friends on facebook now so weeeee yay!

Anywho, I'm tired as heck now and I did not realise blogging about Frayne would be that much. I really need to work on limiting my words. Sorry about that honeypies. I will see you tomorrow when I blog about the Winter Sleepout and hopefully the rest of these four weeks that you've missed out on my ever so important news. HAHAHAHAH NO.

Goodnight you lovely people! :D SLEEP TIGHT! AND WAKE UP ALL LOOSE AND READY FOR ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIVES. :D I'm bloody puking rainbows now. I will leave before I embarrass myself any further. Toodaloo! holy shite, I jsut realised that could be misheard as "to the loo" as in "to the toilet." well. ummm.  G'NIGHT!

MAARY.

Pulling me socks up

Good evening to you there. Yes you. Your bored little bugger. :D Only 51 minutes until morning! weeeee! I know, I'm surprised too; two days in a row?! SAY WHAT? You're wondering about the title aren't you, I can see you, pondering away thinking "What's gotten into Mary this time?" or if you're Ellen then it'll probably go along the lines of "You're whack, why do I even bother to read this?"
I'd like to announce to the world that my homework ethic is finally back. It's taken around 4 or 5 weeks but it's finally here. This little brain of mine has finally realised that it's not holidays anymore and I need to "pull my socks up" if I want to even pass this year. I actually did my maths homework! (CUE THE GASPS OF THE AUDIENCE)

Oh, you guys remember the book I blogged about last time right "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer, well I got Ellen to read and I'm so glad she finished it today and liked it. Though she didn't cry and bawl and scream and howl at the end like I did, at least she liked it. Today I borrowed the two sequels "The Lost Boy" and "A Man Called Dave" and I'm going to take them to the six hour long bus ride to where we're staying for Frayne along with my "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" wooo!

Masterchef has ended and I forgot to watch Big Brother today and no youtube videos of the people I subscribe to on youtube have been posted so I actually don't have anything to rant about. Oh right, I'm going to have to perform a monologue about a psycho who strangles his date after scaring her and I did a practice bit of it today so my drama class could help me out and I found out all my Mary-isms which are Mary mannerisms. I didn't even know they were so obvious because our mannerisms just come so naturally. And so I walked around school today just looking at everyone's mannerisms which was kind of cool. There's the hair flicking, thumb twidding, lip biting, feet tapping, feet dangling, finger scratching and it was just really exciting to watch. God, maybe I'm getting too into this psycho character. I feel sort of stalkerish now...welp.

With that lovely note, I will leave you. SAYONARA BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!! :D


MAARY.

sorted. but not. but sorted.

HUJAMBO! I'm from Swahili! Did you forget?! Hahah, no I'm just kidding. Though I do love languages though as you may have noticed. Okay, time to get straight to it because a lot of things have happened these past two days that I have found necessary to blog about. :)

Okeydoke, yesterday I went to the Melbourne Uni Open Day which was really really fun and helpful and now I know what degree I want to take, what subjects I might enjoy and my way around Melbourne Uni. :) I was planning to go by myself so I wouldn't get distracted but I met the lovely Kimmo (yes, the glitter and wanderlust one) and Nina, our friend from school and we decided to explore the uni together. I was very grateful to be able to meet up with them though because I don't think I would've enjoyed my day as much if they hadn't been there. :) (Thanks guys)! We walked around heaps and the most exciting things included getting a free mocha (they were amazing), free coffee samples, getting a photo taken with a bear (as shown below), looking at the reptile van, taking our photo with the 'grape with the orange guitar' (don't ask) and attending a creative writing lecture in which I was thinking "Tash should really be here right now." So I think I'm going to do a Science and Arts double degree so I can keep my options open and have my studies catered towards my interests and my hobbies. :)wooo I'm so glad I finally worked that out because now all I have to do is get the marks which means I finally have motivation to do well in school now. yay! :)

After a very helpful day at Melbourne Uni, Kimmo, Nina and I randomly met our friend, Van, and it turned out they were going to the same party. So after the girls did all their getting ready girly stuff for this party I wasn't invited to (i hate you hillary, just kidding, HOPE YOU HAD A FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY PARTY HILLARY AND I HELPED PICK OUT YOUR PRESENT SO I HOPE YOU LIKE THAT TOO! :)) On my way home, I bumped in to a guy setting up the soup van and asked him how I could get involved and so he told me that I can help him prepare the food next Sunday! WEEEEEE WOOOO I'M SO EXCITED. I'M FINALLY GETTING A JOB!! But not really since it's volunteer work but I couldn't be happier to help out! :)

MASTERCHEF ALL STARS:
I'M SO ECSTATIC, OVERJOYED, HAPPY JUST PROUD THAT CALLUM WON BECAUSE HE DESERVED IT SO MUCH AND HE'S SUCH AN ADORABLE PERSON AND AMAZING CHEF AND HE'S SO HUMBLE AND GENEROUS AND KIND AND CONSIDERATE BECAUSE HE BASICALLY GAVE HALF THE PRIZE MONEY TO CHRIS' CHARITY AND OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS CALLUM HANN!!! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF AUSTRALIA'S YOUTH BECAUSE YOU HAVE SHOWN US THAT YOUNG PEOPLE CAN ACCOMPLISH BIG THINGS TOO! CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATS CONGRATULATIONSIIESSSS!!!!!!!! :D :D

That was yesterday so now on to today! :)I had a really fun, relaxing, nice day out today as well. A couple of my friends and I were going to go to the city and explore little shops that we'd seen before but never had the chance to go in today but sadly, half of them couldn't make it. :( Instead, Ellen and Tash and I went to Readings to use our book vouchers we had received from school last year. We spent probably around an hour or so in Readings and Tash eventually bought three Greek Mythology books (no one saw that coming), Ellen bought a book about making chocolate (again, surprise surprise) and I bought 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I finished the Sherlock TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch a while back and I loved it so I decided to give the books a try. :) I'm quite excited to read it actually. After our nerdy book-buying session, we went to Brunetti's and drank mochas like sophisticated ladies. (HAHAHHA, NO NOT REALLY) We then walked all the way home and stopped at the McDonald's in the hospital and looked at meerkats and ate stuff and chatted as Natasha was engrossed in her book. It actually does sound really awesome so far going off what she's told me about it. :D She'll probably blog about it later to(night/day). We then go to my house and we were going to watch "Nightmare Before Christmas" but Tash was still engrossed in her book, Ellen wanted to play piano and I was yelling at Michelle for the reason I will blog about a little bit later so we decided we'd watch it another time. :)

Today I had a mental breakdown. I'm actually not even exaggerating, I know I do that a lot but this time I'm not. Rightio, so here's how it all went. We got home and then I checked my twitter and realised ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS IS GOING TO BE LEAVING TO ANOTHER SCHOOL AT THE END OF THE YEAR. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO NOOOODFJDJFHSDFNDKJFHBADSHFBDSJFBDS. I was basically swearing at the world and spammed her on every social network site she had access too and called her and yelled at her like some crazy person. But to be completely honest, I'm really really really happy for her because I remember when she didn't get into this school in year 8 when she tried out for it, she came to school crying her poor little eyes and she was devastated for about a week. And now she's finally done it! She got in! And as a friend, I have to be supportive and caring and considerate and I have to let her go because I love her to bits. OH god, I'm going to be a mess at the end of the year. An absolute sobbing, weeping, crying, howling mess. But Michelle, if you read this, I'M SERIOUSLY OVERJOYED THAT YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO GO TO YOUR DREAM SCHOOL AND I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU! :) <3 :=":" p="p">
Okay, so now all that is done, I have to go and wash the dishes and I might blog later about whatever I can think about. :) Bye, you gorgeous examples of homosapiens!

MAARY.

MAARY.

Sveiki!

AHOY THERE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! :D How are we all? I hope you're doing great because it's great to feel great! :D I'm in quite a happy mood since I've just finished part of the 40 hour famine but more about that later. I'd like to firstly apologise for not blogging for a while, every time I tried to blog something, my mind went completely and then I would proceed to watch Dan and Phil. ;D Even though I haven't blogged in a while, a lot of things have happened since then and I'll try to make up for lost time.

The music teacher made us these cute little frames
as a present! (Sorry I don't
know how to rotate the photo)!

Alritey, so the performance! The performance was actually a pre-open day for our school at the shopping centre and I must say it worked quite well. There were so many amazing talented people at our school that I didn't realise were so amazing! The choir sang beautifully with "The Sound of Music" and it was just so nice to see little old ladies enjoying it. :) The concert band was really cool too, they played a medley of 'Eye of the Tiger' and the Celtic Lullaby or something like that. My performance didn't go too well since I got massice stage fright and couldn't breathe properly during my performance but the support from friends and family made me realise that I really do go to a special school with so many special, beautiful, caring people. And then the performance didn't matter as much.

When we were walking around the shopping centre, a lady came up to us and said "You girls sand beautifully. Well done!" I almost started tearing up because that was such a sweet gesture and :') Also, on the same day, my friends and I helped a lost little girl return to her family. It was just the sweetest thing. Seriously, we felt like we were in some kind of reality tv show called "find my lost daughter" or something. Here's how it went down. Latasha and I were just siting on the bench eating lunch during our break and we saw a couple of kids just playing around. The little girl went with her mum somewhere but when the mum came back, her daughter had gone somewhere. The mum was frantically looking for her daughter, standing on tables and screaming her name and everything because she was only about 6 or 7 and anything could've happened to her. Latasha and I were extremely worried for this little girl but we had to go back to the stage as our break time was over. As we walked towards the escalator, we suddenly saw the little girl standing there and a security guard trying to help her. As I tried to comfort her and walked with her to where her mum was, Latasha, Natasha and a couple other friends ran to tell the mum that we found her daughter. When we got there, the little girl's mum was all "WHERE WERE YOU? I WAS SO WORRIED!" and they did the whole run up and hug thing and we were all standing there in awe of this beautiful moment. It was really a day to remember.

Subject Selection! I finally figured out what subjects I'll be studying for next year! YAYAAAYYY, FINALLY! I'll be studying Biology, Chemistry, Literature (if there's a class running due to the small number of people who want to do it, and if it doesn't run then I'll be doing Drama which isn't so bad), Methods 3&4, Vietnamese 3&4 (hopefully, need to see if I can pass this exam thing) and the compulsory English and Religion. I'm quite happy with that because I'll be doing Vietnamese out of school anyway only one day a week, so I won't have as many subjects as other people. :) I dropped Psychology for Literature because I haven't had the chance to do Literature since Methods 1&2 clashed with EVERYTHING and I know, somehow my gut feeling says I will love it. :D

More ballroom dancing! We had our second ballroom dancing class with our brother school on Thursday and every one was still just as nice and sweet. :) Some of them even remembered my name which was lovely! :) No one is taking it seriously though, we're all just mucking around and having fun which is all that matters because I really couldn't careless if we get marked on 'participation and effort' or not. I'm looking forward to the next class because it's nice properly dance and not just pull out the 'sprinkler move' and the 'Disco Stu move' any time someone mentions the word 'dance.' LOL

40 HOUR FAMINE! Woooooo, I should've done this more often, it's so fun! For the 40 Hour Famine, I decided to give up food, furniture and technology. I started giving up food at 12am Friday and was rewarded with a McDonalds lamb burger from my brother when I finished at 4pm today. I gave up technology at 3am Friday and was able to use technology about 2 hours ago! YAYYAYAYA I still have the furniture one to go though hence I'm sitting on my bedroom floor with lotsa blankets which is actually really comfortable and cosy and I might do this more often. :D I stopped using furniture at 9am Friday when I accidentally slipped up and sat in one of the chairs in homeroom and so I can use furniture again at 1am Sunday. So far, it has been a great experience, I didn't even feel all that hungry despite the fact I had to starve during doomsday. I've probably complained about doomsday enough on this blog so you probably know what I mean. It was fun sitting on the floor during classes and for some weird reason, it even helped me concentrate better as I had no one to distract me. Some of my friends were even nice enough to sit on the floor with me at tutor when we were playing cards. :') And major major props to Anna for sitting on the floor with me for every single class on Friday. If you're reading this, I love you mummy. I'm so proud of you too! And Kimmo, if you're reading this, keep going, do it for the kids! :D We believe in you even if your dad shoves chocolate cake in your face! :D

FRAYNEY FRAYNE FRAYNE! So, the Frayne Speech Festival is next Friday and our school's verse choir is no where near ready but we always pull through eventually. :) I'm very excited for it and I'll tell you more about it when I come back from it. I'm scared if I put anything up here, someone from another school might google Frayne Speech Festival and see all our school's ideas and even though they're not fantastic, we do still have pride for our ideas and it would suck so bad if anyone stole them. :( So, more about that soon! ;D

'Such a story cannot fail to move' Mail on Sunday

BOOKS! LOS LIBROS! SACH! I have to tell you about this book called "A Child Called It." I borrowed this book so I could finish it during the 40 Hour Famine but I basically finished it in one afternoon and bawled until my mother asked what was wrong and so I told her a summary of the book and watched her reactions switch from anger to sympathy to anger to sympathy to ANGER ANGER ANGER and sympathy. The book is part of Dave Pelzers autobiography and he recalls how he was abused by his mother as a young child and it is so disturbing and horrifying that anyone could do that. He was emotionally, psychologically physically abused by his mother and his father is too scared to do anything to stop it from happening. He gets abused so much as his mother says that he is the reason for all their family's problems until he is not even considered a person anymore, he was an 'it.' I won't spoil any more for you because you really need to read it to feel the despair and inspiration and the naivety of a young child. It it actually the third-worst case of child abuse ever in the state of California.There are two other books to Dave Pelzer's autobiography which I am going to borrow immediately from the library when school starts because I know these book will be ones I will remember for a very long time.

More books. This one I haven't finished yet but it's definitely a lot more happier than the one above. It's called 'The Book of (Even More) Awesome' and it just lists and explains the little things in life that make us happy like 'when your hiccups stop' or 'when you go out of your way to step on a crunchy looking leaf and feel the satisfaction of that crunch.' Little awesome things like that. The Ultimate Optimist's book. Which I like to think I am. :) I haven't finished it just yet because I only read it when I'm feeling a little down about the day and it immediately makes me grateful and chirpy again which is AWESOME! I only got the book for $5 too so it was a real bargain. :)

The cover ( I couldn't decide which was prettier)!

The inside

I thought I'd leave you with a baby photo of myself
with Harry Styles hair before it was cool. :D
Ever the trendsetter.

So that was basically everything I was going to talk about today! I hope I made up for a lot of lost time. I'll try my best to blog a little more often and with more pictures too, I'm sure you're getting sick of these lengthy uninteresting posts. So don't worry, I'll try to show you things with various mediums so woo! Anywho, I'm going to go and watch Skins now because it's a teensy bit inappropriate to watch when my parents are home! LOL

Bye! Stay warm, beautiful and AWESOME! :D

MAARY.

P.S: The title means Hello in Lithuanian! :) SUDIE!

Rambly Bambly

Why hello there! It's been a while hasn't it? I'd like to say I have an excuse for not blogging, but to be perfectly honest, I've just been lazy (well, no surprises there). A couple eventful things have happened over the past week so I thought I'd let you know about them.

1. Ballroom Dancing
So I don't know if you've read Tashie's blog about her experience of learning Ballroom Dancing with our brother school but I wasn't in her group so we couldn't be awkward potatoes together. :( The entire experience was actually quite fun though! All the boys were really nice and sweet and tried really hard not be awkward (as were we) and there were a couple problems here and there, one being the teacher couldn't teach properly, I mean, if you're going to teach someone how to dance, you'd think which foot to use would be specified, but no. She didn't tell us whether we were going left or right or clockwise or anticlockwise or anything-wise until we stuffed it up so badly. LOL Aside from that, I also had some nice moments with some of the primary school guys that usually revolved around the words "holy shit, Mary, why you so short for?" and "Shut up, (insert name here), why are you so tall for?" Overall, I'd have to say, first Ballroom Dancing class = fun! :D

2. Subject Selection
Okay, on Thursday is was subject selection evening and after that, I'm feeling conflicted about whether to accelerate in Maths or Vietnamese. :( But more about this when I actually decide and ya. :)

3.Masterchef: ANDY WON WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! You can read about how obsessed I was with Masterchef on my Twitter feed during the final. Warning: I was not in a stable mindset at that time. Just sayin'. BUT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANDDDDYYYYYY!!!! I WAS SO SO HAPPY WHEN HE WON I JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR AND STARTED RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE ANNOUNCING TO THE REST OF MY FAMILY "ANDY WON!!" EVEN THOUGH THEY WATCHED IT WITH ME.

4.Big
This is the name of a Korean drama, one of the only ones that I've watched and haven't particularly liked. SPOILER ALERT. I REPEAT, SPOILER ALERT. SPOILERS INCLUDED/PRESENT/STOP READING IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO WATCH THIS DRAMA. POILERS-SAY. (I even said it in pig-latin so you can't blame me anymore). I'm extremely disappointed with the ending of this drama because to be frank, it didn't make any sense. The happy ending was way too forced and there were way too many plotholes everywhere. I mean you have no idea what happens to Kyung Joon's body or Seo Yoon Jae's soul, what happened to their parents, if the miracle worked out, whether Kyung Joon seriously gets him memory back, I mean what the hell? I know you have no idea what I'm ranting about at the moment but if you do ever watch, which I highly recommend you don't even though I'm a big fan or Gong Yoo and Lee Min Jung because she's actually quite adorable in the drama, still, don't watch. It basically sets you up for disappointment. Mary no happy.

4.Performance
I have to do a performance at a shopping centre in two weeks to promote my school and  I think I've picked out what songs I'm singing but I need to make sure before I announce it to the webbynet. :) Hint: I think I'm doing a song from Pocahontas :D Anywho, if you haven't realised or are a part of a different part of the world, it's actually almost 4am where I live so I should probably get my ass to sleep so I can study for my Maths test on Monday. Ughhh, why did I even remind myself. :(

Bye sweeties! I'll try my best to blog soon! :)

MAARY.

Aloha!

Ciao bellas! How are we all? I'm pretty great actually. Just finished the first week of term 3 and school homework hasn't piled up that much. Well, before I go into detail about all the things you MOST DEFINITELY need to know about me, I must apologise for not blogging for about 3 weeks. I was just so lazy and out of it on the holidays, I seriously was basically hibernating and watching old Disney movies and Korean dramas. Alright, fine, so a couple eventful things happened to me on the holidays and I will not proceed to blog about them all because I know you care. HAHAHAHHAHHANO.

Experience Days

So I signed up for a couple of Experience Days at a Uni to see what it was like. I already told you about he first one which was the hospital visit where I got to touch organs. The second one I went to was a Marketing, Advertising and PR Experience day which was quite fun and I learnt a lot. For marketing, we had to identify the target market of a certain product that will be coming out next year in Australia. (Yeah, that's right, we go to see it first cos we special kids). In our Advertising workshop, we had to come up with a slogan for that very same product and in our PR workshop, we had to create an event using as much money and facilities as we wanted to promote that product. It was really fun to try and think outside the box and our teachers were old hilarious men! One was even Scottish which gave me huge Brave feels. :D

The third one I went to was a Community Justice Day which was quite good. We had a few workshops: Youth Work, Social Work, Legal Department and something else I can't remember. :( Well, I really loved the Social Work activity which was really getting into this character named Sandy who was troubled in every single way and learning the psychological techniques to try and help her and support her in her situation. It was really interesting and I'm considering it as something I'd like to do in the future. I also loved the Legal Department activity because it was a nice little play of Sleeping Beauty Vs. Prince Charming in court which was awesome. The Prince was charged with assault for kissing Sleeping Beauty without her permission. Even though, Prince Charming saved his kingdom and obviously didn't mean to hurt Sleeping Beauty, he was still charged with assault because whether Prince charming saved the kingdom or not, Sleeping Beauty was still kissed without her permission. It was hilarious and they gave us lollies in the end so that's always fantastic! :D

The fourth experience day I went to was a Health and Medical Sciences day which was quite fun but probably not something I'd end up doing in life. We had about seven workshops and I'm way too lazy to list them all but I met lots of really nice people but forgot to get their emails. Oh well! Even our dearest Kimmo came! :D

TASHIEEEEE DEAREST'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to 'Lunga' (only she will get this, sorry) for not posting a happy birthday NATASHA post sooner. So, for Tashie's birthday, she took us out for burritos which we ate with all the grace of the Queen. (Only Ellen did, actually). Tash and I, on the other hand had stuff raining from our burritos on to our table and everything. We also went to see The Amazing Spiderman 4 which had Tashie fangirling all the way home, that crazy girl. Anywho, thank you for a wonderful day, Tashie and I hope you had an even better day even though we were all feeling a little down in the dumps that week and I hope you enjoy your present! ;) That I swear will eventually be coming. I swear. I promise. :D LOVE YOU!

First week of school:

My first week of school has been pretty fun actually. Not too much homework piling up so far so that's good. My electives this semester are Drama (FUDGE YESSSS) and Multimedia which isn't too bad because the teacher is very chill and calls me "Specs" because I have white specs. LOLOL Isn't he just hilarious? Anywho, it's the dreaded doomsday for me tomorrow so that means tutor, viet school and piano tomorrow. :( WAAAHHHHH! Alright, I'm going to go work on my English powerpoint and practise piano. Bye dearests!

It's great to be back! Hope to blog soon! :D love you guys, stay safe and well, and keep warm this shite ass winter!

MAARY.

Happy Birthday Kimberley!

Good evening pastry puffs! How are we all? I've been extremely lazy for the entire day basically just reading Wattpad and doing a couple of chores here and there. In fact, in this very moment of time, I'm watching my brother exercise and suffer as I watch Gary make beautiful meat pies on Masterchef. hehehe Well, anywho, it was my friend, Kimberley's birthday party which was very fun and exciting since I got to see most of my school friends again. :) We went to a buffet and the food was absolutely yummmmmmmmmo yumm yum! The dessert, especially, was fantastic. OH MY GOD, THE CHEESECAKE WAS TO DIE FOR. I wish I wrapped that shit up in a napkin, Asian mum style. I also reunited with a friend I met way back in grade three at a piano concert and I met her yesterday so that was very nice! :) We also played laser skirmish which was lotsa fun and I came 2nd in my team which is some sort of achievement, I guess. Another lovely thing that happened was that Kimberley liked the present I gave her so woop! :)

I'm actually way too lazy to blog right now, I'm watching Leap Year, which is one of my favourite movies even though I've seen it about two or three times now. :)

Stay classy beautiful people! ;D

Eventful

Why hello there deary pies! How are you all doing today? It's absolutely freezing where I live right now, I'm rugged up in about four jackets and two of them aren't mine. Today was actually quite a nice day though, the sun was out and the clouds were really nice and :)

Sooo, yesterday I went on a Experience day at the local children's hospital organised by a certain university to see if I consider doing laboratory medicine in the future. Yeah, um no. It was fun to see all the labs and it looked really cool but I think I'm just the kind of person who couldn't sit in an office all day. The labs were freaking fantastic though. We got to see the haematology lab which was cool as hell because there was this tube airway pathway like that tube thing in Futurama and they transport specimens using that pathway. There's three different pathways and there's one special one reserved for the blood bank and the machine can detect whether the airways are clear and then automatically just launch it. We also got to visit the bacteriology lab and we got to look and different agar plates and we got to see some E-coli and some other stuff I can't remember but Tash probably will. We also got to look at the actual place where they store the blood and I had the urge to touch it but Tash said that it was weird. Umm :/ We also got to see how they detect a blood group by looking at clumping patterns with different antigens which looked really fun to do. :) We also go to have a look at this machine that could do about 25 different tests on someone's blood in 5 minutes. The machine can tell whether you've eaten 'fatty' foods or not or umm, other stuff I sort of zoned out on while the lady was explaining.

The cooolest and a little bit disturbing part of the entire thing was the anatomical research lab. Basically, when we walked in there were 5 different anatomical specimens lined up on the table. There was a brain with a tumour in it, it felt squishy and not as firm as I thought it would be. It was a yellow-greenish colour and didn't smell too good. The second one was a liver, also with a tumour, and it just looked weird. It was sliced up so you could see the inside and it was the same colour of chicken liver so basically what you would imagine a liver looked like. The third one was probably the creepiest, it was a 2kg ovarian cyst from a 15 year old girl who thank the Lord and the doctors that girl is breathing, it was extremely disturbing to touch it but I did it anyway. You could see the fallopian tubes and the entire thing was dyed blue to help when looking at the specimen from a microscopical view so it just looked really gruesome. The fourth specimen was a kidney, either with a tumour or extremely damaged, but either way, pretty normal looking kidney. The fifth one was a humungous heart from a 10 year old's body. He got a heart transplant because his heart was too big and had to work too hard to pump the blood around his body, and as the heart is a muscle, it also got bigger. The heart looked really strange, somehow it looked like it had been carved out of a tree or something. Pretty scary stuff.

After all this happened, my friend Hong came for a sleepover! :) We basically spent the night watching Running Man the Korean variety show. I thought it'd just be like an Amazing Race but it's actually a little bit different, it's super super super funny and the games and simply stupid making everything hilarious. It's seriously such a good show! There's 101 episodes so I'm really behind, I'm only on episode 13 and my brother is on episode 20 because he did an all-nighter today. He just slept the sun away, IDIOT. After staying up to about 2am, we went to sleep and woke up and around 11. We then proceeded to walk my wonderful dog, Tam. He was doing such a great job and giving us awesome exercise until he decided to escape from his leash and run away. Thank bejeebus he knew the way home because he was heading straight there (I swear he's got some good sniffing skills) and when I was finally able to catch up to him. He was patiently sitting at the doorstep. Well. At least I know he'll always come home. :) I let him in and ya know, didn't give him a treat like he would usually get because he ran away. We then decided to wash Tam. YAY! :) He was actually quite calm so good for us. After a generous lathering of Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff Scalp Shampoo he sunbaked it the sun and got attacked by the hair dryer.

Getting super bored with the lack of entertainment facilities at my humble abode, we made Banana fritters. OH MY HOLY SWEET LORD, THESE THINGS WERE BLOODY GLORIOUS. Okay, I'll show you how to make them in the next post. Halfway through making them, we realised we needed some ice-cream to go with this so I went to IGA and got some and bumped in to Tash! I know, what a coincidence! Bloody telepathic brainwaves or something we got here. I got me ice-cream, went home and enjoyed the beauty that is a banana fritter soaked in vanilla ice-cream. After that, we watched the Big Bang Theory and watched tv and read fanfiction until she went home. Okay! That is basically my day.

I have a birthday party to attend tomorrow! Woo! I'm a little bit excited, apparently there's supposed to be some fuss over what I'm supposed to wear because the dress code is semi-formal/neat casual. Umm, sorry, but what in the universe is that supposed to mean? I think I'm just going to look outside the window tomorrow morning and ponder the possible weather events that could happen and decide from their with other influencing factors being my mood and my health. Alright, time to go and shower power. So I will see you all very soon I hope! :)

LOVE YOU DEARY PIE! CIAO!

MAARY.

HOLIDAYS

Good morning to you all! I'm so sorry for leaving you for about 2 weeks, I was just so lazy and really I have no excuse. :( So I willingly accept any punishment. (Please be nice even if I don't deserve it? (brings out the puppy dog eyes I wish actually worked)* But it's not all bad news because it's HOLIDAYS which I get to PARTAYYY ALL DAY EVERY DAY and by PARTAYY  I actually mean stay at home and watch Disney movies and Korean dramas. (Ooohhh, it's gotta be a good life) And it also means that I have lotsa and lotsa free time to blog and surf the web. Who even says that anymore? I mean who would even come up with such a thing? When you think about logically, wouldn't you spin a web? I'd understand if the 'web' was called 'wave' and then you could surf the wave and that would make sense. I don't even know where I'm getting this from. Maybe these are Mary's unique symptoms from recovering from a fever. Or I'm just a little bit loopy today.

I just went to vaccuum the house halfway through writing this blog post so my mum won't tell me to do any more chores for today and she'll make my brother do them since he's not even awake yet. Heeheeeeheee :) Well, I vaccuumed to the the Macarena song and I must say, I have never loved vaccuuming more. HAHAHAH. It made everything so much more lively, maybe this is what I should listen to while doing homework. I doubt that would work though, I'd probably just break into doing the Macarena or some stuffed up version of the Nutbush in my bedroom. Well. So if you haven't realised by now, I'm a little bit insane. But insane me is a lot more interesting than serious, hardworking (ahem, cough, LOLNO) me.

Alright, enough about me, how are you? I usually ask this at the beginning, I feel so inconsiderate now. I'm sorry, forgive me. Especially you, Kimberly, you poor thing. I hope you get better really really really soon so you can enjoy your holidays! Get lots and lots of sleep and stay warm! :) And Natasha, I hope you're getting better too! Your thoughts are too funny and awesome to not be voiced! And to everyone else who is sick or who gets sick during this horrible Australian winter, I hope you get better and enjoy school holidays! :)

A whole lot of events have happened since I was gone so I'm going to try and explain them as briefly as possible.

• School Soiree Night -This was such a fun night. Everyone who performed was absolutely fantastic and the choir and the concert band were angels and everything was just really lovely. It was my second time performing at one of these things, I decided to sing "When Will My Life Begin" from the Disney musical "Tangled." One of my favourite Disney movies EVER. :D After my performance I got lots of compliments so either I did so bad they felt the need to console me or I did something right. Apparently, I had the cutest performance though. That may have been because I was the youngest. HAHHAHA, overall, awesome night! :)

• Brainy Bees - So this was a competition to test schools on their knowledge of neuroscience. We completely fluked the online multiple choice test, I seriously didn't even know that the test was that day until the announcement. We totally aced everything and our school is going the finals. HAHAHAHA, NO. We were totally just having fun, writing down the stupidest answers and trying not to let other schools look at our papers in fear of embarrassment.                                                                                                         I also had to say a speech about this with my wonderful friend, Tracy, who had the funniest speech ever! I was reflecting on this speech a little bit before, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I sounded like a news reporter during my little part of the speech because I was so nervous and was so concentrated on trying to get the freaking words out as clearly as possible. So my intonation was fu*&^$&7d. HEHHE. But Brainy Bees was really fun and we got to see the anatomy museum which is a rare experience in one's lifetime and it was disturbing and really cool at the same time. I mean, there was a cross-section of a baby...which died because he/she was born without a skull. That was probably the most disturbing thing out of it all. And there was this real, dead arm. The liquid that used to be in the arm had been drained out and replaced with silicon so it felt sort of like plastic but it seriously just felt weird as heck. But cool. 

• Brave - OH MY LORD. BRAVE WAS AWESOME, FANTASTIC, MESMERISING, TERRIFIC, MARVELLOUS,  AMAZING JUST PURE DISNEY PIXAR BRILLIANCE. I loved it so much. I didn't think I could love anything more after Tangled, but Brave and Tangled are now equal. Merida has the most beautiful hair ever. And her brothers are the cutest little things and nawwwww. And her parents, especially her dad, Fergus, is just the sweetest, funniest, dopiest dad ever. SPOILER ALERT. I REPEAT SPOILER ALERT. SERIOUSLY, I'M GOING TO PUT THIS IS BLACK FONT SO ONLY WHEN YOU HIGHLIGHT IT YOU CAN SEE. SO GO WATCH IT. AND THEN READ THE REST OF THIS LITTLE SPIEL ABOUT BRAVE AND UNDERSTAND MY FEELS. I love how she's the one Disney princess who doesn't find that special one true love and the movie is based on family love and tradition and it's just so beautiful. I was on the verge of tears in a couple parts in the movie. Tash and I were trying our hardest not to cry and our friend, Mariya was giving us sympathetic looks. I also now have a new appreciation for folk music.
• The Family Law - I read Benjamin Law's sort of autobiography 'The Family Law' and it was one of the most hilarious books I've ever read. I'd tell you more but then I'd be spoiling it so go go go! read read read!!
• Art scores - The other day my 3D art teacher let us look at our scores for the class and I was so surprised by my marks because I've never been the arty type. I'm more the reading writing type but apparently I'm an B+/A student in 3D art. I did not see that coming. Not at all. But I'm happy because I had lots of fun in the subject and my teacher was the sweetest and I'm going to miss it a lot. The classes were so relaxed and fun and just :)

• 21 Jump St - I watched 21 Jump St and I must say, it was not what I expected. I expected it to be really offensive, stupid humour but it actually wasn't that bad. I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. It was freaking hilarious, I thought there would a lot of pointless fighting scenes just cause but there was an actual storyline and it was well written. And Channing Tatum in a Potassium Nitrate jacket was the cutest thing. HAHAHHA. Watch it and you'll get it. 

I think there's more things that happened but I can't remember anymore. Sozzy. :( I've got to go get changed because mum and Tim want to go shopping. Well. I'm not really a fan of shopping. Yes, believe it or not. I really just don't like shopping. I get too lazy to try stuff on and I'm really indecisive so sometimes I don't want anything or I want everything or I can't decide between two, realise I don't want either and go home without anything. I don't hate shopping, I just don't like shopping for myself. I do need to get my friend a birthday present though so yeah. Welp, this is the longest post I've written in a while so I hope this compensates a little. :) I'll still accept punishment though...(gulp).

BYE, LOVE YOU ALL! STAY WARM, STAY WELL! SINGING IN THE RAIN, WHAT A GLORIOUS FEELING. Wait, no, you'll get sick. Don't do that. Unless you've got aabout 500 layers of clothes and another 200 layers of raincoats covering yourself and in that case, sing away. :D <3

And I'll leave you with this Alex Day's beautiful music video. To make you feel better since it's been raining cats and dogs and snakes and lizards and giraffes and hippos and meerkats and sharks since morning. 

Hope that made you feel a little better about the weather. :)

MAARY.

Bittersweet

Hello darlings!
How are we all today? I'm pretty good if you're asking which you're probably not.

Today was my last day of Work Experience which is I guess a bittersweet kind of thing. Bitter because I have to leave all the lovely kids and sweet because I've gained so much from the experience. Seriously, I would happily just work there for another week or forever. It's such a lovely job, I think it really is an underrated job. Most people think that working with young children is all fun and games but what do you do when the kids aren't happy and don't want to get a long? You have to keep using different strategies to get them to listen to you without ever losing your patience and using a clear, firm tone and you have to explain to them properly in words they understand. I spent at least 20 minutes trying to convince a boy to wheel his bike to the shed because it was pack-up time. I tried absolutely everything; I asked him if he wanted to go home and he said no, I asked him if he wanted to see his mummy and daddy and to do that he had to put away his bike and he said no, he kept repeating "I want to ride it." Finally, another kid said "Do you want to come to my house?" and he actually said "Yes" and put his bike away. So, I think that little boy could be a potential kindergarten teacher.

I had such a fantastic day today, there are so many memories that I'll always remember until when I'm 80. There was a boy today who sang the Hi-5 theme song with me and every time the word 'Hi-5' came on, he would Hi-5 me. He then proceeded to sing "Ready or Not" with me as we were completing a 123 piece puzzle. There was a little boy who learnt how to swing on the swing himself and he didn't even know it. I was actually only pretending to push him because if he went any higher, he would hurt himself. There was another little boy whose patience levels increased throughout the week. When I met him on Tuesday, he would fight over the toys and wouldn't share, when I was playing with him today, he was waiting for his turn oh so patiently and it almost made me cry happy tears. So in summary: I love kids. They're all so clever and they don't even know it. I mean, these kids were doing 123 piece puzzles, I could not manage that shit when I was four.

I just finished all their thank you/I'll always remember letters to each kid and I'm going to mail it to them because there was this boy who checks the mail box every day and I think he'll enjoy mail actually getting addressed to him. :)

Welp, it's Doomsday tomorrow. Ughh. Haven't even touched my piano exam songs and I'm only halfway through the script of my Vietnamese oral tomorrow. Oh well.

Good bye deary pies! Love you! :D

MAARY.

KINDER KINDER

Allo lovely lovely readers!
So, as you know, this week I am doing Work Experience at a Kinder. IT IS SO FANTASTICALLY REWARDING AND WONDERFUL AND I THINK IT MIGHT BE WHAT I END UP DOING IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE IT'S JUST SUCH A LOVELY ATMOSPHERE AND I JUST LOVE EVERY KID THERE AND I HAVE SUCH A STRONG ATTACHMENT TO THE KIDS AND I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE AND I'D HAPPILY WORK THERE FOR THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. Yeah, so in other words: I'm enjoying my Work Experience Placement very very very much.

I know I was supposed to blog about all this on Tuesday which was my first day of Kinder but MOTHER was watching her Asian dramas as per usual and Tim was using the laptop to study for his exams and as I keep mentioning, FATHER hogs the iPad. In summary, I just like typing on a keyboard more than a phone. If I had blogged on Tuesday I probably would have felt the same way I do now.

Every single kid is so special and I've grown such a deep attachment to them all. In fact, if you wanted me to list out the names of all the children and one thing that I remember. I could easily do it. Now I know you think that means around 20 something names but actually it's not. The kindergarten operates on a sessional system in that there are groups which come on different days at different times. Today was the last time I would see Yellow and Red group and when they were all saying goodbye I was seriously just going to bawl my eyes out. Today was the first time I met Red group because they usually come on Mondays and Thursdays but Monday was the Queen's birthday which means I only met them today. Two kids from the red group (I had played with for 3 hours only) came up to me and gave me a hug goodbye when they were leaving. :') A little Asian boy from Yellow group gave me a drawing he did. Another little boy gave me the treasure (a rock) he found in the sandpit. I was so overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness, I mean what teenager goes up to a teacher/student teacher and hugs them goodbye? I JUST LOVE KIDS SO MUCH. I LOVE THEM ALL. THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.

So there are a couple of behavioural disorders in the kids at the Kindergarten and it was really awesome to learn how to calm them down and keep them comfortable and be able to make them smile and laugh. I read SEVEN different books to a little boy today, he was almost going to make me read eight but I said that he needed to eat his banana first because I was almost out of breath. He was such a smart boy. There were a couple kids that followed me around and I almost cried when they would call me by my name. There were a couple kids who wanted to sit on/next to me during mat time. There was a kid who asked me if I was replacing a teacher who they had next week and I was so flattered because if they considered me professional enough to be an actual teacher I must have been doing something right.

I also met the teachers of the Kindergarten and they're all really lovely and kind and got along with children so well. The substitute teacher I met on Tuesday was so chill with everything, she even swore in front of me and didn't find it weird which means she regarded me on a sort of equal level. The whole boss of the place is such a professional woman, she really loves what she does, she puts so much effort and hard work into everything she does and is always trying to find ways to improve. She's seriously just an amazing teacher. Another woman had the best decorating skills in the world. She made this little jungle like sand pit thing and when I asked if she had ever considered interior design as a career option, she laughed at me. Another woman was really just lovely, she always played with the kids and didn't act too adulty. She'd play soccer with them and she'd run around and take photos. It was just really nice. There was also a woman who came from an agency who I met yesterday and she just got along really well with the kids and she was really welcoming and lovely. I also met a guy today who would usually work on Mondays and Thursdays and he was really nice and he was such a good role model for the kids.

So now I think I'm going to work on a thank you letter/poem to all the kids and the teachers and I'll probably have to wake up early and get them some presents or something.

In summary, I LOVE WORK EXPERIENCE SO FAR.

I might blog some more later to make up for lost time. Love you sweethearts! :) ♥

MAARY.

P.S If you were wondering about the title, pronounce it as 'kine-duh kinn-duh" geddit?

I love kids.

Aloha beautiful people!
So, I really want to blog a whole lot about work experience but both the computers are occupied and I'm typing this on my phone which auto corrects EVERYTHING. Which is not something I'm used to therefore making this sort of hard to type for me.

But anyway, I'd just like to tell you all that my first day of work experience was extremely hectic but fantastic at the same time. I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. :) I'll blog more about it later if I can but for now, toodaloo! :)

MAARY.

Kimtasha

I LOVE YOU TOO. YOU PUMPKINS ARE AMAZING AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ACTUALLY READING THE STUFF THAT PROJECTS ON THE SCREEN IN THE FORM OF A SUPPOSED BLOG. PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE THE WEBBYNET A BETTER PLACE. ♥

I flailed just a little

HI AGAIN DEARIES!

I just watched Anastasia and I'm so glad I did. It was 93.50 minutes of brilliant, fantastic, terrific, amazing, marvellous, awe-inspiring goodness. The male lead is a lot like Flynn Rider from Tangled which we all love (Zachary Levi is too cute) and the voice is John Cusack which was a huge surprise to me. And Anastasia's voice is Meg Ryan, I didn't even know she could sing but she sure can! The movie was really funny and non-typical Disney princess-y movie. Well, sort of was, and the weird thing was the movie isn't made by Disney, it's made by Fox Animations. Anastasia looks a bit like Ariel but I think Anastasia a bit more badass, and I love her.She's got this feisty, sarcastic and witty personality which is fudging awesome. I love Dimitri's (the male lead) character too, he was so non-prince charming but prince charming. Very Flynn Rider. In other words: You're gonna fall a little in love with this fictional character. :D And you know how there's usually an evil stepmother or something, this time around, she's a grandma and she's beautiful and I love her because she's so lovely. I seriously just love everything about his movie. I'd give it a rating of perfection. Yup, not even going to use numbers because the movie was that special. Seriously, you really have to watch it and then after that you can thank me. :)  I even gave you the link so you have no excuse now! SO GO!!! What are you waiting for? Go watch ittttt!! Watch Anastasia (full movie) (really good quality too)

Another thing I did today was read the most mind-blowing fanfic I've ever read. Natasha introduced me to this story so all the credit goes to her. (LOVE YOU BEB) But holy mother of goodness, that fanfic was probably the best fanfic I've ever read. It was like a crossover between Glee and Inception, the Gleeception. No, really it isn't as lame as it sounds. You don't even have to like Glee to read it. The storyline was amazing and so well planned, the characters were so well written and were definitely realistic because I could actually see Finn and Rachel doing what was written, and not even one punctuation, spelling or grammar mistake. What more could I want? And it's only 4 chapters of brilliance so go read it, I'll even give you the link here too :) http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6867710/1/Cinderella_in_a_Party_Dress NOW READ READ READ READ!!!

So basically the point of this post was to make you watch Anastasia and read fanfiction! GOOOOO!!!

Okay, love you, bye! :D

MAARY.

I bawled.

Life is pretty amazing right now.

SALUTATIONS MY DEAR PUMPKINS!!!

I'M IN A REALLY REALLY REALLY HAPPY MOOD BECAUSE EXAMS ARE OVER WHICH MEANS HELL IS OVER WHICH MEANS NO HOMEWORK WHICH MEANS ALL MY TV SHOWS AND I CAN FINALLY READ WATTPAD AGAIN AND I CAN TWEET AND FACEBOOK AND ALL THAT LOVELY JAZZ. In other words: FUDGESTICLESTICKSYEAH

Finally got my Media exam done and so I'm done with school for the day. SCORE. And now I can have the time of my life doing absolutely any fracking thing I want. WOOOOPPP WOOOPP!

I'm so excited for Work Experience, going to play with widdle adorable kids for a whole week. LIVIN' IT UP, MAN. LIVIN' IT UP. I'm so excited for everything because this week is basically paradise. Okay, I'm going to go now and just be the crazy, insane kid I've been holding back the entire week because I had to be serious for exams.

Oh and more good news, I learnt how to "When Will My Life Begin" from Tangled on guitar yesterday! :D Even with my pencil and rubber band as a capo. Yeah, I really need to go out and buy one. And my phone cases finally came after a month!!! WOOP WOOOP, it's so pretty and orange and I'm so happppyyy!

Before the spastic girl leaves, she'd just like to wish her friends Anna and Michelle all the best because they're doing a test to get a scholarship to a selective school today and though she wants them to do really well, she's a selfish bum who doesn't want them to leave because then....oceans.

OKAY, LOVE YOU! SEE YOU SOON! :)

MAARY.

Song of the day:
-When You Believe from the Prince of Egypt
Somebody Else - Se7en

Quote of the day:
"I thought Michelle was wrong when she said you're an embarrassment but I was wrong." -Cindy

P.S. The 'you' in 'you're' being me. :) I'm sort of proud of the fact that I'm an embarrassment because if people actually stick around, they actually accept me being one. And I think that's a nice feeling. :)

Goodnight, well morning as of this very minute! Sweet dreams my gorgeous munchkins! :)

MAARY.

BATS

I apologise for the really bad quality.

Ditto. WHO CARES, THEY'RE BATS. IN DAYLIGHT.
HANGING FROM  POWERLINES.  THE ONLY THING THAT
COULD MAKE THIS MORE EXCITING IS IF ROBIN WAS
HANGING NEXT TO THE BAT.

Wagging

HELLOOO AGAIN!
It's been 2 minutes and I already had to blog again. See how much you lovely people mean to me? So big announcement today, VERY VERY BIG, I warn you it may come as a surprise to you all that.............I WAGGED SCHOOL TODAY. YUP. ME, MARY, GOODY-TWO SHOES MARY WAGGED SCHOOL TODAY.
...................................................

None of you believed that for a second did you? Well, yeah, you're right. I didn't wag today I was given permission to leave until my exam in periods 5 and 6. :D So I went to the city with Cindy to get her a new jacket which was kinda fun. Got some exercise too. :) But then I stuffed up that benefit when we went to eat KFC. Welp. I then met Michelle and Kimbo at the Children's hospital since it's all new and pretty and stuff. :) I really wanted to see the meerkats and the sharks and all that wonderful stuff but we didn't have enough time after eating. What I did do was write on a stick though.

Okay, yup, writing on a stick, pretty average thing to do, ya know? Well, the hospital was having a tribute for an endangered native bird which represents the indigenous community. What they did was construct this nest like shape structure out of sticks that the people could write messages for to support this cause. So the bird's name was Bunjil and because my friends were rushing me, the first thing I could think of was "Save Bunjil, Save the Indigenous (smiley face) (heart)" I KNOW, HOW ORIGINAL. Man, I should've taken a photo of it because the next was really pretty. :D

I also met this little girl when I was eating in the food court and she was sooo adorableeeeeeee! I said hi to her and waved, and then she said hi back and when she waved, only half her fingers were above the table. And then I asked her if her food was good with a thumbs up (because I'm amazing at sign language) and she nodded and smiled at me. Her mum/sister was really nice too! :D Those people made my day. :3

Then even more exciting things happened! While we were walking back to school, we saw a bat hanging from the powerlines and I took a couple of photos which I'll post up later from me phone. Okay, so I think I had a pretty nice day today! :D And tune in tomorrow for more boring, useless things it is mandatory for you to know about Mary.

Bye! Love you all so very much! Look forward to really really badly taken photographs of a bat soon. :D

MAARY.

Almost there! :)

GREEETING MY BEAUTIFUL PUMPKINS!
So, I actually have the time to blog today because my last exam is tomorrow and it's for Media which unfortunately, I don't care about too much. It's fun and all and I've studied a bit and I'll study a bit more later but right now, I just need a break from ya know, hell. Okay, it actually wasn't that bad. I'm actually surprised to be saying this right now but I don't think I've drastically failed any of my exams so far. :D Which is a good sign I guess. But I won't know for sure until I get my marks back.

So, I really don't think you guys care too much about how I performed during my exams but I'll tell you anyway because I'm just that lovely. (Ahem, cough, ahem, no). Well, my first exams were English and Health on Tuesday and I must say I'm quite proud of the fact that I finished my Animal Farm essay and my Language Analysis on time. :) Even if it was complete and utter bullpoop. I seriously had no idea what I was writing but oh well. It's over now. :D And I'd just like to take this time to thank Tashieeeee (Yes, I remembered the 5 'e's) for going to the library with me on Monday to study our butt off and the practice essays we did actually helped us in the actual exam. WOO! So if there's anything I'm thankful for, it's them essays with the illegible handwriting. (You can see a picture on Tash's blog http://onlythemediocre.blogspot.com.au/ (A BIT OF PROMOTION FOR YOU THERE) (Wait, actually it's not because you're probably the only person that reads this) :')

On Wednesday was Maths and Economics. I was actually pretty decent with my Maths exam despite the fact it was an advanced subject. Either that was the best I've ever performed for this subject this year or I've made A WHOLE TRUCKLOAD OF MISTAKES, but ya know what? IT'S MOTHERTRUCKIN' OVA. And I basically bullpooped my way through the Economics exam. Maybe that exam is the one I'm going to drastically fail.

Today was Science and Art 3D, Science wasn't too bad but I know I've lost a lot of marks due to my carelessness. --" And Art 3D was pretty alright too, I finished it an hour early so the supervisor let us leave. :) Wooo! :D

I'm going to blog about non-exam related things that happened today on another post now. Good bye for now dearies, but not forever! :D

MAARY.

Gasp!

No Saturday post?! You know why because I wad actually studying instead if watching all my awesome as heck tv shows after coming home from my mum's friends house.

It was pretty fun actually. I met this oldish man there and he was a really good singer 'wit duh karaoke.' No really, he wad really good. He seven dedicated a song to me which wad really sweet. :') after that, he sang a song about unfaithful men from a lady's point of view because he felt sorry for the females that we're being criticised in the other songs the other men were singing. The song wad funny as heck and I'd show it to you but its in Vietnamese and you won't get it. LOLOLO

Okay, im going to go to sleep now so I can study more tomorrow! GOODNIGHT MUNCHKINS!!!

MAARY.

First proper blog post of the week

Greeting my fellow companions! (hahhahaha, cough cough, as if she has friends) How are we all today? I hope you are all swell because I am not. I am anything but swell at the moment, my head wants to bang itself against a wall because I cannot take all this studying anymore. :( But oh well, life is life and in times like this, it sucks cheeseballs.

If you're wondering why having a picture of a packaged "Cupp Keyk" is a hint to the rest of my day. It's because that little cupp keyk package made my day. It's actually a yam flavoured filopino cupcake that is prounouced 'ooh-beh' according to my sources (Natasha, you better be right about this). And my goodness, that shit was good. I know yam flavoured, who would've thought that would be the solution to all my *emotional dietary needs.

Anywho, today I finally did my English oral in which I'm pretty sure I stumbled on half the words I was saying. And I swear it was probably the most cliche piece of literature that I have ever written. Seriously, man, it was bad. Half of it sounded like I was confessing my love to the animals on Animal Farm and the other half made me sound like some crazy idealist kid (in other words, me) but I'm supposed to be Mr. Jones!

Then I had to do my Science test....DUN DUN DUN DUN.I FAILED THAT THING 5 TIMES OVER. I swear to all the gods and goddesses and divine spirits and all that wonderful jazz that I did not understand jackshiteballs on that test. I swear, for half the questions, i was tempted to go look for their definitions in the dictionary. :'( My goodness, I wanted to cry during that entire test because it was so damn hard. :((( But you know what? If/When I get my marks back and they are horrendous, I will study my butt off to get a decent grade for my exam. (Yeah, sure)

Well, I got home from school and just crashed on my bed until 10 o' clock, so in truth, I've only been awake for an hour and a half which means more studying time for me. (UM HELL NO) I DON'T WANT TO STUDYYYY, I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. I'm going to live in a cardboard box, no wait, that's a bit of a stretch with the way I'm going, I'm going to live in newspaper fort when I grow up and just yeah. Alright, a little bit off track now.

I'm gonna go to sleep now because I need my energy for doomsday number 798367493475783465.

LOVE YOU ALL! GOOD LUCK ON WHATEVER YOU NEED LUCK ON! ESPECIALLY TO YOU TASH AND KIM, STUDY HARD MY LOVES! :D

I love Fridays

So, I'm in my break mode instead of my study mode so I'm watching 'My Wife and Kids.' My goodness, it's such a good show and none of the jokes are really rude or wrong or dirty like the ones you see these days on those typical tv shows you see on nowadays. Okay, going to enjoy the rest of my night watching old episodes of this fantastical show. CYA!

MAARY.

A hint to how my day went. Post more later loves!

Hi dearies!
This is only going to be a really really quick post because I have a Genetics test to study for and an english oral to finally do after all that procrastinating and I just needed to get some feelings out. You know what? Back to work for me right now actually. I really need to get some work done.

When I said beautiful, I meant 'poorly taken.'
Oh well, it brightens up my night anyway. :D

Meanwhile, enjoy this beautiful photo

This is really just quite meaningless.

A goodnight post to you all! And song of the day is...well more, playlists of the day is 'Dashboard Confessional' and the Anastasia soundtrack and 'I'll Make A Man Out of You' (Mulan) because my school screened it today for History week. Yup, we're really just that cool. :D

Anywaysiesss, GOODNIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT RHYMES WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL JAZZ.

MAARY.

Musical talent. Yeah, no.

Soo, hello! I should be doing my homework now or showering or eating or something other than blogging but I felt that it was necessary to tell you about my musical talent. Or rather slight musical ability. Yeah, that sounds better. :) I figured out Payphone and Here's to Us and Untitled on piano yesterday all by ear and I'm quite happy about it and will proceed to play it during my break instead of practicing my piano exam songs. keke

More good news to come though! I did well for my Media task which was to play the role of a Floor Manager of a fake newcast. It was pretty fun even if I felt weird bossing people around because ya know, I'm nice... :D And I finished my clay wall tile for 3D Art! YAYAYYAYA. And that's all for today. See you soon, I'm Mary and this is my fantastic insane blog. :D LOVEYA!

Addict

My lord, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from Facebook and Twitter already. :( I actually feel the NEED to go on and post about the stuff that makes life go by for me. I did not know it was this bad, maybe I should limit my time on them more often, so I don't go beserk at times like this. Alright, serious now, POWER NAP TIME.

MAARY.

Not functioning properly.

Hello to you, dear reader! How was your day? Mine was a little bit draining because I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because I was wattpadd-ing so I guess that's my fault anyway. My lord, I'm so tired, all I've done since 4-ish is do some maths and revise some science. That's it. And I already need a power nap. :( I'm trying not to feel stressed about these daunting exams but it's really hard not to. Okay, power nap for one hour and then back to maths. :(((

SEE YOU TOMORROW OR TONIGHT OR WHENEVER! :D ♥

I'M BECKK

Hallo to all! So, I've decided to still sort of blog for the next two weeks thanks to Tash's 'charmtexting talent.' Yay or Nay? If you were wondering the title is a "Whale Rider" reference and the only reason I remember it was because I had to do three assessments about it two years ago for school. :| Speaking about school, ugghhhh exams oh so very very soon. :((((((( waahhhhh :'( she types as tears spill from her eyes. I don't want to do this my goodness, I can't believe my school is still setting tests and assignments when we're this close to the exam week. Why??? But at least next next next week is WORK EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!! WOOP WOOP WOOP! I'm just going to focus on that one though to get me through my day! :D I'm going to be doing my Work Experience at a childcare/kindergarten and I'm so so so so so so very much molto mucho muy rat excited for it!

Oh, today I had a really nice day at the market with my family today so I'll post a couple photos later when I can be bothered going back up stairs. :)

Time for me to start on my science practical report so I will leave you now. And hopefully see/write/ramble to you tomorrow!

SAYONARA LOVELIES! :D

YEWCHOOB

Okay, so remember how I told you how I've been listening to a different artist's Youtube playlist everyday? Here's a couple that I've completely fallen in love with. Maybe not love, more like fallen in an complete and utter obsession with.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XrO9gjsSmY&feature=autoplay&list=PL3064FEED570303D8&playnext=9 -SafetySuit playlist -they're really really really good, I promise :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s16tXhDZ6TE&feature=autoplay&list=PLD1908A23B27AD21F&playnext=6 -'A Rocket to the Moon' - they're a bit Owl City-esque with a bit of Coldplay sort of emo pop band - in other words : FUDGESTICLESTICKSYEAH

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC33B613DA43EDBB0&feature=plpp - I don't know who doesn't like Disney songs, but if you don't, you seriously need to go counselling. THIS IS AN AMZING PLAYLIST! I've been listening to it for about 4 days now while doing homework and every time I do homework now, a Disney song pops up in my head. IT'S BLOODY FANTASTIC. Beware of sudden waterworks though because that's what happened to me.

http://www.youtube.com/user/MaxSchneider1 - so this isn't a playlist but it's an artist/actor/singer and his name is Max Schneider and he is oh so freaking cute. And talented of course. But extremely cute. No one has ever said "What's up baby" and made me flail and die inside before.

AND HERE WE GO, THE VOICE UK!!!!
Just search in youtube these names because I promise you'll become the biggest fans of these amazing people in seconds.
-Max Milner
-Bill Downs
-Vince Kidd
-ALEKS JOSH (you have to watch his The Voice UK audition, it's seriously just too adorable for words)
-Ruth Brown
-Bo Bruce

You won't regret it, I promise! :D ♥ LOVE YOU! Tell me if you like any of these! So you can fangirl/boy and flail and cry (the good kind) with me! :D

Breaking Open the Heart of Mercy

SO TO START THIS OFF, A HUGE, GINORMOUS, EXTRAVAGANTLY HYPOTHETICALLY VISUALISED BUT SORT OF VIRTUAL HUG TO YOU. (For again, not keeping my promise and posting straight afterwards. Well, I don't really have any excuse besides the fact that my brother and I were watching Victorious at the time when I wanted to blog. When I did post, it was when my brother was on the phone. So anywho, SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDSSSS.

Well, maybe not yet. So picture this, a girl home alone, her brother is out at a party (because the kid's finally got a social life now) (I say kid, but he's 19), her parents are out dancing a storm (I swear to God, their Saturday nights are so eventful) and the girl who has been told to watch over this chicken broth on the stove until it's 2am. If you haven't figured it out yet, that's what's happening right at this very moment. Alritey, time to talk about the SEEDS OF JUSTICE CONFERENCE and how fabulously, awesomely, terrifically, fantastically, brilliantly awesome it was.

So before I tell you what we did on the SJC, I'll tell you a bit of what's it about. Twice every year, this committee runs a 2 day program for Mercy Schools in Victoria and we come together to share our ideas about social justice and mercy and learn about other people's experiences, listen to guest speakers and for the one I went to go to placements in the local community. The theme this year was "Breaking Open the Heart of Mercy" (So that's what the title meant)

It was a pretty quick ride to the centre they were hosting the conference at, I won't state details unless you really want to know and because the main teacher who was supposed to go with us got sick, our very awkward but still wonderful Irish teacher drove us there. He was making comments like "Oh, just found the brake." The first thing he said to us when we got in the car was "I could be taking you girls to your death and you wouldn't even know." Yes, that was very comforting. Oh and he talked about the Gaelic/Irish language almost the whole way. He's lovely though, to be honest, that trip was one of the funniest car rides I've ever had. On the way, we saw these houses that looked like they were from a Dr. Seuss movie or the neighbourhood in 'Edward Scissorhands.' Actually, houses is a bit of an understatement, more like mansions.

When we got there, we all introduced ourselves and had to sit down and listen to our first guest speaker Sr Giovanna, she's a Sister of Mercy and her job is basically visit and talk to prisoners so they don't feel so isolated. I know what you're thinking, why would she do that? They're prisoners, they don't deserve that sort of compassion. And a quote I got from the video we watched after her talk was something that went like Being in prison is the punishment and if you want to take away their privileges then do so, but you are not helping them. Most likely, they will just end up back in prison when they're released because they haven't learnt anything. Prisons are a place of rehabilitation which is why people keep coming back. If a Sister can help a prisoner and offer their companionship then why not? She talked about this man who had a mental illness in which he had the mental capacity of a five year old and all he did was want to make friends every time he got released from prison and he would be arrested for being a 'public disturbance' or he breached a restraining order. So, at this point, I was crying and a poor girl had to walk out of the room. Thankfully, she told us that when his case got brought to court, the judge found him proper and stable accommodation so he's okay now. :')

After lunch, we were supposed to have another guest speaker but she decided not to come. :| Instead they made us watch this video called "Music and Murder." It was a documentary about 3 men who are all murderers and have a passion for music. And my goodness, it was confronting and challenged everything I ever knew. So there were these three men and they're all very troubled and are imprisoned for murder and they're musically talented. I won't go into detail about why they're in there but I'm pretty sure you could find the video somewhere on the webbynet. But anywho, the first guy and the last guy who were introduced felt deep remorse for their sins, and though they had taken a life, it made us believe that they deserved a second chance. The first guy, I think his name was Vernon or something rather, and now he performs with his guitar in church congregations which I thought was lovely and the last guy was on parole in 2008 but I'm not sure how that turned out. The second guy though, oh man, he challenged all my morals and beliefs so badly. He also was imprisoned for murder of his girlfriend and he was also very musically talented, in fact, the most musically talented. He was going to be released in two months so they gave him a job outside the prison walls as a gardener but he escaped. YES I KNOW. I DON'T UNDERSTAND A PSYCHOPATH'S BRAIN EITHER. IT GET'S WORSE. Not only does he escape but he commits almost the same crime again. He kills another woman the same way he killed his girlfriend. NO COMPRENDO. NO FUDGING COMPRENDO. So now he's going to die in jail. I guess you're thinking, "Serves him right" right? But when you think about it, if he was in another video that presented two other guys that murdered 3 or 4 times, you would feel more empathy towards him, would you not? So it's all about contrast and the media and everything but at the same time all my morals are challenged. Should I feel sympathy for a murderer that's killed twice? Thrice? Four times? Here we are talking about how we should feel empathy and sympathy for the prisoners because they're completely isolated and many underprivileged. But what about the ones who are psychopaths? The ones who will take a life like it doesn't mean anything? Are the priests and nuns supposed to feel empathy and try to strike up a conversation with them? Do they deserve it? And I have no idea how to answer any of these questions. I'm glad that the conference didn't just present one side of the story though. I appreciated the fact that they contradicted they things we watched and instead of preaching to us about some sort of utopia, they let us think for ourselves. 

Okay, so we ate lunch after that. And my Lord, it was heavenly. Or as a girl from my school put it "Scrumdiddiumptious." It was this magical lasagne with your ordinary vegies, and the best birthday cake ever even though it wasn't anyone's birthday! LOL After eating lunch, it was time to talk placements.

There were about eight different placements I think and they consisted of places like soup vans, nursing homes, women shelters, ministries, charities...you get the picture. So one of the girls from my school went to a soup van. (I'm not stating who or where for security and privacy reasons) Umm, two other girls went to do their placement at a nursing home and I went to do at an Aboriginal Ministry. The bus took forever to get anywhere and didn't know any shortcuts so everyone's placement times got cut short and people were late. I don't think the bus driver knew what he was doing but oh well, he tried. When I got to the centre where I was supposed to be doing my placement, it was closed because they had waited for us over 45 minutes. :'( I was devastates because it was a really rare experience and I was looking forward to learn from the Aboriginal community and be told stories and all that beautiful jazz but sadly, no. :( A couple blocks down from the road though was an Aboriginal mural which is decaying and they need money to restore that so I think that might be one of school's social justice team's ideas soon! :D WOOPWOOP! And we tried interpreting that in out own weird way which was was probably extremely inaccurate but at least we tried. Oh I was with a teacher from another school and two other girls from a different school as well and they were all lovely. In fact, everyone at that conference was just so unbelievably lovely and friendly. So after intepreting the mural, we all went to sit in KFC and I ate my packed sandwhich while hiding behind these bamboo room divider things so the KFC staff wouldn't realise. HAHAHAH I just realised how stupid that sounded now. So after a while, we got picked up and every one was talking to each other on the ride back and I found out that I might see a lot of the students that came at Frayne (A speech festival held in August for Mercy school to participate in Voice Choir, Debating and Public Speaking)! WOOOPPPPP!

We got back to the centre and we had a nice little reflection and meditation about our placements and they played some nice calming music before we went to sleep. We got to our rooms and brushed our teeth and all that jazz my friend (who I was sharing the room with) and I were knocked out by around 11:30 which is weird because usually on camp, I stay up till around 2am or something but I think we were all just so tired.

DIA NUMERO DOS DE SEEDS OF JUSTICE BEBS.

Woke up. Obviously. We sang a nice Catherine McAuley song (which we are definitely singing for Choir because it is brilliant) and ate breakfast. The prayer that was said was only a couple of lines and it was "Be still and know that I am God." and the man kept saying this over and over each time dropping a couple words off so we could think of our interpretations and visualise different things with lesser words. It was quite nice and calming actually. (Seriously, I'm not even Catholic). We then listened to a teacher talk about how he took a couple students from his school to Papua New Guinea to offer "kindness, compassion and gentle words" to the people there which was really inspirational and definitely makes me want to do that kind of work one day. But I'm pretty sure that by the time it'll be organised that my high school years would have ended. :((( 

We ate lunch and then played some games together. It was like a massive game of rock, paper, scissors and right now, I'm actually too lazy to explain it but if you ask nicely (okay, you could ask roughly too and I'll still answer you) I'll explain it. We then had a nice reflection and wrote down the ideas we would try to implement at our own schools and we came up with a lot of ideas so social justice girls, you better be ready for them! :D AND WE GOT BADGES!!! YEAAAHHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!

And then the car trip home was nice and normal and our teacher knew how to drive the car and didn't make as 'comforting' comments. HAHAHAHhahaha, no really he's actually really lovely. :D

I got back to school and decided to join the Literature class because I don't have a chance to do it this year because it clashes with my advanced Math class. :'( So I decided to join their class and oh my god, it was sooo good. Some of the girls there were practically falling asleep and obviously treated the class as a bludge subject but seriously, in that moment, I loved it. Especially because they were reading "Medea and other Plays" by Euripedes and I had just finished reading the Percy Jackson book that introduced Jason and Medea and I was so excited because I could piece the information I knew from the book together and it was just amazing. I swear, I feel so bad for Tash because if I was feeling like that because I enjoy Greek Mythology, she's absolutely insane with it and would probably give up her life in Australia to go learn Greek Mythology in the Philippines because as she's informed me many many times, they teach it there as a subject. The only reason she can't do Literature is because it clashes with her advanced Bio class (that nerdy bum). :((( Anywho, I'm going to leave you now, because this is a really really long post and 30% are probably typos. Bye, love you all but I'm going to be disabling all my social networking accounts by Sunday night so I can study for my exams which are next next week. I'll see you tomorrow then for my last blog post before the two week hiatus. :) LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU! 

GOOD (NIGHT/MORNING/AFTERNOON/EVENING/DAWN/SUNRISE/SUNSET) TO YOU MY DEAREST DEARY PIE!
