Home Alone

Dad's side of the family

Mum's side

More like Dorm Alone. Kidding.

So Long

See you tomorrow. (Credits to Karpos)

July 23 was a glorious day for "Bombaes" in the Metro. Everything was as magical and mystical as I thought it would be and I would just like to tell this story in chronological order because that makes it a lot of fun. I will probably tell this story to my children and my children's children (if I ever have any).

Holiday

Me in Sec A

Now I can move on to facing

Big girl problems, no more

High school drama,

Graduating with honors

-Holiday, Paramore

Hello! It's been quite some time (or at least felt like it has) since I last posted something and I'm back!

Yes. The school year has started (in June, actually) and everything's been pretty dandy. It's my first year of college and I've made a ton of new friends and been living on my own (more on this later)! 

Awkward

Yesterday, I went to Reg (BEST)'s house along with Drina (BUDS). We were talking about 'bisnis' that's unimportant to most of you so nevermind that.

Basically, we tried to take "fashion"-hipster pictures and we failed miserably. It was an awkward mess filled with strange pauses and lots of laughter.

Two Thousand and Thirteen

The year is coming to an end so I will make the cliché post about how my year went.

(I'd do it by month but I don't really remember each month quite well. This whole year was quite a blur to me.)

My earliest memory of this year just so happens to be prom. I made a post about it and you can just go back to that. But I will say that I'm extremely grateful for that day and for that experience because someway, somehow it made me discover things about myself and my friends. I had tons of fun and if I'd do it again, I wouldn't have changed a thing. Maybe except for my shoes. I'd change those.

2013 was a music-filled year. If you noticed, I had tons of music related posts and I kind of wish 2014 would be the same. We all love music in our own ways and I really can't wait for what next year has in store for us music-wise.

School Sessions: Christmas Break

Well...it's been two months. TWO FREAKING MONTHS since I last updated. How unfortunate. And the only thing to blame is, of course, school.

Although school has been getting in the way, I have not forgotten the many joys and wonders of the internet. I update myself every single day with what's up through Twitter and Facebook, like any old teen would do. Sadly, blogging has been one of the things that I couldn't do because 1. I'd only have time for Twitter and Facebook and 2. I didn't really have anything to blog about anyway.

Rainy Days and Reviewers

My attempt at making my reviewing materials look cool.

So for the past few days, I had my quarterly exams - BEST TIMES OF THE YEAR! (Do you hear me 'whooping' and cheering?) There was actually a storm but we still had to go to school even when most schools had called off classes already.

School Sessions: Week 5

So Week 5 has just ended. Today is Saturday of Week 5 - yes, we have Saturday classes but only because we review for the upcoming college entrance exams.

Nothing eventful has happened this week. The usual stuff went on - long tests, quizzes, stress, etc. I did get 2 merits, though. That counts as something, right?

Memory Lane

As you all know, I've been scanning a bunch of old pictures with my siblings (mostly my sister). I had a post about maybe a month ago called "Scanning..." and I showed you some pictures that I scanned.

Since then, my sister and I looked for more pictures in our parents' room and we found tons! To think, there's more in their cabinet.

So far, I have scanned over 300 pictures and each picture holds a memory to...someone. (Not just me, obviously. Some/most of them don't even have me in them and if I was in them, I was probably a baby.)

I'm Flying!

Not the BEST picture but it's cute. (L-R) Diego, Audrey, Me

On March 15, prom happened. Our prom's theme was Titanic and the title was "Le Voyage". (Le is so...old but okay.)

Scanning...

So last week, we got a new printer that happened to be a copier and a scanner. My sister and I were so excited to use it that we started scanning a plethora of old pictures that we liked.

To my dismay, I was not able to scan 2 pictures of my mum that I absolutely adore but hopefully, I'll be scanning those and my OWN pictures soon (talking about my film camera because I haven't started with that).

South Africa 2013 || Comic Relief

What's up guys? How 'you doing?

Hey there! So it's been a while since I last posted but I have good reasons for that! 1.) LIFE. 2.) I wasn't really sure what to talk about because my life has been pretty boring. 3.) The past 2 days I have had my last exams for the school year and I actually still have two more tests but I am making time now to type this post up.

You must be wondering, "South Africa 2013? She went to South Africa? If she did, why didn't she put it up on that list of why she hasn't been posting? WHY?" (Maybe you're not wondering but okay.) First of all, no. I OBVIOUSLY did not go to South Africa because I just told you that my life has been fairly boring and going to South Africa would definitely be considered as something interesting. Second, if I did go to South Africa, I would've posted something earlier than this (unless I only came back from there like a few days ago, then that's understandable). Lastly, I DID NOT GO TO SOUTH AFRICA WITH JACK AND FINN HARRIES BUT I WISH I DID.

As you can see, the picture above contains the wonderful twins, Jack and Finn from the Youtube channel, JacksGap. They went to South Africa about a month ago and they just posted a video of them doing good deeds over there. If you watch the video, you'll learn that they were invited by Comic Relief, a charity in the UK (famous for having The Wanted, One Direction, and Lawson wearing red noses), to fly to South Africa. There they found about the very bad case of HIV ("very bad case" sounds weird but I'm not exactly sure how to say it) and they're there to try to raise awareness. Such lovely people, they are.

Above is their cheeky new video. 

At the end of the video (Oops! Spoilers ahead!), they show a bunch of pictures that they took and let me just say that those photos were absolutely brilliant! I'm not photography expert but their pictures were really something amazing - and I'm not just saying that because I have a super soft spot for these boys - they really have talent. 

Here are a few of the pictures that they took:

Jackamo, I love you.

Pretty window effect and cute kid

FIERCE.

Finny Finn Finn

Finn, Will, and Jack with a bunch of cuties

Not one of the pictures but this is from the video. It's perfect.

So there you have it. 'Til the next post! (Also, prom is in like 2/3 days. Not sure what to feel. Hah!)

Filmemma

Okay, so that is obviously not a real word. I just made that up.

Today, I decided to look for our film camera because as said in the previous post, my dad got me film. When I found the camera, I found film already in it and thought that taking pictures would do no harm. I went outside, took pictures of plants and whatnot and went back inside. I asked my mum where to find the number that said how many pictures were left and she told me that it was supposed to say it in the little box thing. When we looked at the little box thing on top, it said "E" and my mum said that meant that it was empty but it was OBVIOUSLY not empty because I checked if there was any film.

And that's what I did wrong. I opened it up and my mum said, "You exposed it to light! Now it's not gonna work!" Silly me. Such a knob.

So that is my dilemma with the film camera. My "filmemma". Luckily, my dad is coming home soon (according to mum) and maybe he can help me get the film out so I could at least put in the new film.

Let this post be a warning. If any of you have a film camera and aren't sure what to do, ask someone who does know what to do before you try anything.

That's all. Bye, crabs!

2012 in Not-So-Weird Pictures

So I'm supposed to be studying but since the two tests I have tomorrow aren't that hard, I can put that off for a while. I'm extremely bored and thought that my blog would want a new post on it so I decided to make this. I was reminded of the lomo camera I ~might~ be getting for my birthday (my parents said that my birthday gift wasn't enough so we went shopping for whatever I wanted but we couldn't find the lomo cams) and I wanted to post some pictures.

Let's take a look back at 2012 with the pictures I have on my computer. 

I was downloading a bunch of fonts then.

Late Christmas Post

So this is my late Christmas post. Enjoy the wonders of the Christmas season in my world!

The lights and "leaves" on our stairs

Our new angel candles

My brother being a knob

In our grandma's house

My godmother, dad, and myself tuning the ukes

Very interesting "interview" going on here. My brother's godfather being lectured on dinosaurs and Transformers.

My dad being weirded out by their interview

Hope you all had a great holiday season. See you in the next post!

StuDYING.

LYF. 

Shoot 'Em!

He asked to have me take his picture with his toy elephant.

He's very photogenic. Unlike me.

So these are a few pictures that I took last year/earlier in the year (I can't remember). I wanted to make a post on my "photography" (which I am DEFINITELY still working on) because...I couldn't think of what to post and I haven't posted in a while so I decided, "Hey, why not post some old pictures on Blogger?" and there you go.
